Lol, most kids who play Minecraft actually watch Minecraft videos a lot more then they actually play. So, you would not be out of normal.
However, fining good beginner videos is not that easy (how to move, set it on creative at first, look you can fly etc) and watching videos is time consuming for adults. The ratio of noise vs information is very very low.
Kids actually love repetition, and being able to act on it.
The better documented example of this is when Blue's Clues needed to run the same episode multiple times a week. Everyone thought their ratings would tank, but instead they spiked.
I heard there's websites with videos demoing game play.
(There was this youngster with an ipad that seemed to spend quite a few hours watching them. Perhaps more than playing the game.)
