The independent mechanic is talking to the non do it yourselfer and although I can't agree with everything I would rather take my car to him than a speedy lube if I didn't do my own work. Sure he is trying to sell his service and products. Why wouldn't he.
The guy with the music and a handfull of filters has no business making a video on filters. He is speaking to do it yourselfers and has little knowledge. He is surprised that a Fram uses carboard end caps??? What cave has he been living in? I have nothing bad to say about a Ecore filter which he placed last because it has fiber board ends and a nylon case. Well that is the basic idea of the design, to make them more disposable (green). I've used ST Ecore filters several times and read this site and I can't say I've seen either feature fail.
