Total opposite for me, I enjoyed the presentation a lot and he wrote about way more than you're giving him credit for (risk-taking, emotions, power of perseverance; the exact thing a college student would want to know). As for the self-deprecation; humility is a great trait in someone, it's always reassuring to know successful people still have doubts about themselves. I also enjoyed the fact that I could read the slides and not need to listen to the audio or read a transcript to get the sum of the talk. I generally just want to get to the meat of something and, without actually being at the real talk, I feel like I got a good story out of it. As for the length, flipping through that many slides when you're presenting is different than just reading them online; you keep the audience engaged by moving their attention around in reasonably short bursts.
