Mar 10, 2017 at 1:07 comment added Gjergji Zaimi @PoundSterling Often users upvote a question simply to encourage a "good answer", instead of expressing that it is a "good question". It is also often the case with popular-but-advanced mathematics (or popular mathematicians) that people hope to find a conceptual or easy exposition, some sort of quick route to understanding. One thing worth repeating is that this forum is community moderated, therefore we can improve questions and answers by asking for particular edits. For example, we could have asked the OP to clarify what specifically he wasn't satisfied with in the videos, etc.
Mar 10, 2017 at 0:19 comment added Pound Sterling that is one theory. Another is that most of the people who upvoted the question were about as lazy as the OP, and thought it sounded sexy simply because it had Peter Scholze's name in it. And most of those people will not be particularly interested in reading the details of your answer.

Mar 9, 2017 at 23:47 comment added Will Sawin @PoundSterling I don't know if I'm the one who's supposed to explain this to you, but I'm guessing most of the people who upvoted it did not watch the video, and just thought the question was interesting.
Mar 9, 2017 at 22:33 comment added Pound Sterling In other words, the correct answer to the question "is there some explanation of this remark in this video?" is "yes; it is explained in great detail in the very same video." Now explain to me why the question has 22 upvotes and then I will understand this website.
