There are two sides to this. Whislt a current user might be interested in seeing the way I work with VSL products (or not...!), I doubt that it would garner any more sales for VSL. However, there are enough people out there who would make a purchase, based on the fact that one of their idols uses the same product, that it makes sense to provide these sort of videos.
Having said that, I don't think it's a bad idea to ask some of the demo makers if they would like to do some tutorial videos. Obviously people like Herb have a greater knowledge of the software, but sometimes it is useful to get a real world, and real-time example from others in the profession.

Yeah - if I made a video on how I use VSL or any other library - the way I do it would actually put people off. That and the swearing at the same time. Sales would drop to an all time low.
I hardly ever use more than 20 tracks in Logic Pro (and that's an epic track for me); have no real idea about how to edit; hardly ever use different articulations because I can't be bothered; the last track I did for the library was 3 tracks - a Hammond, a fretless bass and drums and I just played it all in 2 or 3 takes apart from the drum loops. Thats a really quick video.
So Daryl , Guy, Billy and the other sort of chaps that like doing classical should be the ones that do a video.
I can do a video on Olympic Gold Medal standard bad language and how to use it to impress your mother-in-law if you like?
