Is this some new YouTube ritual for new releases?

[MarkF]

I've seen people do this for other albums too... posting a video of
themself unwrapping their new CD, showing off the album art, and then...
reading parts of the booklet out loud to the viewer?!?

Okaaaaaaay...?

This one goes on for over 11 minutes, but he seems to run out of things
to say at about 8 minutes in, so he starts playing with photo effects.,,

The best part, of course, is that this one's all in German or Dutch, so
I can't understand 90-95% of what he's saying...

Unfortunately, he didn't read the "thank yous" from the band members...
I believe this is *at least* the second Yes album that mentions
Paramahansa Yogananda in the liner notes! :-)

I've seen something similar on the DGM Live! (King Crimson) site, although just pictures and text. Seems to be encouraged...

... and I can see something like that being fun (and effective
advertising for artists) when you have, say a 24-disc box set with
individual inner sleeve designs, multiple elaborate booklets, & other
related enclosures to show off and explore.

But just hands, taking the plastic wrap off of a single-disc, simple
digipak and thumbing through the 24-page booklet? With just lyrics on
most of the pages? For *11* minutes of video? With German commentary?
