Sure, money part makes sense.

However I do have an objection over the recording and have a request
about the same, can that youtube video be pulled, edited to cut the
portion of my session and then re-uploaded? I am willing to do more
sessions like that but I am sorry, recording is not my thing. Instead
of recording, I am ready to prepare and share a detailed write-up
along with a terminal recording, which I think audience will find more
interesting.
