I'm curious about your views regarding the video. Not the topic - just
the video. As in who the target audience would be, if it's made well,
etc.

Unless you are the creator of the video (are you?) and are interested in
how you could improve it, I honestly can't understand why you are asking
that. The topic is much more interesting than the technical details on how
the video is made and its presentation, and could spawn some interesting
discussion (not about whether the germ theory is correct or not, but about
the phenomenon of denialism, which is an interesting psychological phenomenon
in the modern world).

Made by: Powerpoint, (death by).
Audience: Fruit loops and the simple minded.

Too much on-screen text, cartoons etc. that don't directly relate to the
spoken text, and therefore rather distract from it.

Needs more professional voice-over, as well as more practice, to be a
professional-level video. It *is* unclear who the audience is, or what the
point is besides "how to identify a germ theory denier", which could have
been covered in 1/5th the time.
I'm guessing you want to make similar videos and you're looking to improve
your technique?

Well, the recording itself could be better. Less gasping breathing, don't
overload the microphone, etc. It wasn't the voice so much as the fact that
he bobbled a few sentences that if it were a professional video would have
been re-recorded. The voice wasn't unpleasant. The performance was
excellent for a youtube video, but wouldn't stand for (say) a television
documentary.
Bobbled at 3m04s, bad breath break at 3m24s, bobbled at 3m37s, etc.
Something that you'd certainly never worry about if you were listening to
someone live (or free). Basically, he's trying to read and perform at the
same time, not always reading far enough ahead to know where the "verbal
commas" go, which professionals get around by only recording a handful of
sentences at a time.
Since I don't know why Neeum is asking, I'm pointing out trivial stuff as
well as any of the bigger things I notice.

I liked his tone and his accent.
I did not listen to the content.

Heck, no. I think it's a crappy video (and not in terms of technical
aspects).

I didn't want to bias the discussion, so I was hoping to get everyone's
thoughts. But it seems I didn't phrase it well enough.
Essentially a friend and I were arguing about the video. My contention
was that the video was patronizing, and for that and perhaps other
reasons, was preaching to the choir. I think if the goal was to target
germ denialists, or even people part way there, it would fail as
well. If I were a germ denialist, I would have stopped watching soon
into the video.

I think it was patronizing to denialists, but I don't think denialists are
its target. It looks like "yes, there really are people that dense, and
they're not all obviously nut-jobs", followed by "here's how you spot a
denialist" more than anything.
