1) You care enough to personalize me a response, which is appreciated but unnecessary.
2) If your friend made it, then he should be the one posting it.
3) If you didn't want people coming in here and pointing out the obvious (music/video quality, the existence of no fewer than 3 other threads, etc), you should do your due diligence.
If you really didn't care, you wouldn't be bothered by criticisms. I can understand being defensive of your friend, which is fine. Friendship is good to have.
But its equally as noble to admit you were wrong, that you made the mistake of posting already-existent information and not make a mod clean up your messes.
If people are pointing out "this is the same, that is the same" take note, provide it to the content creator, and work to make a more specific and informative piece.
There are three issues with this video and topic, all of which could be addressed and would provide much better results.
First is the music quality. Get something more appropriated to the topic at hand, or rather to say, literally anything else than what you have.
Second, a lot of the information in it IS redundant. There are some good things in here that could function as a stand-alone, 1 minute and 30 second video. b.12 as an alternative could be its own video, and it wouldn't take more than 20 seconds to showcase.
Third, I'll make the assumption that
@XZXGLAXZX is the original creator since he is referring to himself as such? He has a forum name. Why is he not the one posting it? Credits where its due and all. Also, make note that my issues come with giving you credit for posting something that is 75% other people's work (to the creator specifically) and 25% something decent. If the video was a minute long, not recorded on a potato, and only featured new and relevant information, then yeah I'd probably be less abrasive with my opinion.
EXAMPLE VIDEO:
Look at the usual thing (10 seconds, not counting a short intro)
Now consider this (5 seconds, showing the new variation)
Here is a brief explanation of advantages (20 seconds, maybe if you are long winded)
Here is something else (probably restands, so another 10 seconds)
Here is why I think this is worth considering (Shouldn't take more than 10 to 15 seconds)
At most (not counting a short intro/outro) this video could've taken exactly 1 minute to make. The tech would be clear and not have a lot of unnecessary fluff. The information would be only relevant and pertinent information, and could be open to criticisms like "What about 2 or more hits of armor? How does it work against things like MB teleport which have invulnerability? so on, so forth".
The topic instantly becomes less "The first 3 minutes are whats been made 3 topics over" and more focused on the real juice and meat of it, the actual content he wanted to present.
Whats more, this helps define the topic as less of a "I'll break your armor huehuehue" and a "this is how we can improve on already useful tech". It becomes less about the properties of the tech and more about the tech itself. It lets people build upon a very specific improvement, rather than slogging through 5 minutes to find one thing they could use.
When you narrow your tech down to only whats necessary, it looks more professional. More informative. More credible and reliable, and it provides the forum with a means to accurately work with and through any of the issues.
