the title of the thread implies that the video will make me a better shooter. It says nothing about watching the video and trying to see how it fits to photography.

I will try again.  The title of the thread is only misleading to people who think that being a successful shooter starts and ends with taking the photograph.  Professional photographers know that this is simply not true.  That is why there are many excellent photographers who are not successful and why many successful photographers are only capable of capturing mediocre images.  The business side is critically important and you don't have to be a genius at puzzle solving to immediately understand how the video applies as much to professional photographers as professional writers.

Never undervalue your work.  It will work against you in the long run.

Horrible pimping thread to promote the writer's strike. Has nothing to do with microstock, stock, or even photography. Thread should be deleted.

If it has nothing to do with photography, why is the clip being discussed in multiple threads in the Pro forum at dpreview?  There is a link in one of those threads to this one here with your dismissal and maunger's as proof that the amateurs have won.  Go back and listen again.  Everywhere Harlan Ellison says "writers" substitute the word "photographers" in your mind.  Everything he says will apply just the same.  Photographers that give their stuff away or sell it too cheap make life tough for everyone else, and make life tough for themselves when they decide it is time to charge "real" rates.

I don't see how that has anything to do with shooting photographs (as your thread title suggests)

The title of the thread only suggests it has anything to do with shooting photographs to the narrow minded.  It is about being a successful shooter, which is about much more than just the photographs, unless you are an amateur.  Professionals need to be paid, which is what the clip is about.  You can't be successful if you keep giving your stuff away, because then they expect you to give it away the next time and they expect the next person to give it away, too.
