Could this be the worst ceiling fan installation video of all time? You tell me...

In terms of hanging the mounting bracket.. sure.. Indeed. Too bad they deleted my comment. For anybody who's interested, here's what I originally posted: "This is probably the worst tutorial on installing a ceiling fan I've ever seen. Firstly, the video should have never been entitled "How To Install A Ceiling Fan," as there is little to no explanation regarding the individual assembly of certain parts. Secondly, you evidently neglected to read the instructions included with the fan and just basic common sense in general. What am I referring to you may ask? Take a look at 1:53. The junction box you’re installing the fan to is not intended for ceiling fan support. To make things worse, one of the screws appears to be severely stripped or possibly missing the box all together. This means that the fan could fall at any moment while in operation. The wiring is yet another issue. The fan in not grounded, creating an electrocution hazard if the bare hot conductor (the wire with black insulation) were to come in contact with any metal parts. Grounding is an important feature to ensure a safe installation. In conclusion, this video is sloppy, confusing (for someone looking to acquire the skills necessary for the installation of a ceiling fan) and potentially dangerous. I hope to God nobody attempts to replicate what is shown here..."

Not to mention, she connected the fan to aluminum wiring...I can see a fire starting.

The funniest part is that the description clearly states "if you are unsure about something ask a pro." It looks like she didn't follow her own advice! Welllll I see they changed the title... Oh you're right. Maybe they too realized that this video is far from a tutorial!

In addition, notice how at the end of the video the light kit was spinning like that hunter Augusta II in the video where the light kit spun but the blades did not (but more slowly).

Approximately slightly after the ten minute marker when she was screwing in the light shades, as she was slowly, steadily going in circles. Wait, no, that was after she installed all of the shades into each socket I reckon.

I've finally had enough of this garbage and decided to take action by reporting the video. We can only hope it gets removed. Approximately slightly after the ten minute marker when she was screwing in the light shades, as she was slowly, steadily going in circles. Wait, no, that was after she installed all of the shades into each socket I reckon. You mean at 10:37? It looks as if the fan is operating normally to me...
