I run my classroom in a similar fashion. It certainly weeds out the people who try and the people who are not motivated. It also allows more motivated/advanced students to work at an advanced pace or level. Simply put, it places the responsibility on the student, not so much to learn the material on their own but to ask questions. For some students, this means I act as their personal tutor in class for 5-20 minutes, sometimes longer, at a time. But if the material is never viewed/read beforehand and questions for clarification never asked, well then the chances of success are small.

ETA: although I try to keep the lectures at 10-15 minutes per video, per night so it is maybe about 30-45minutes per week rather than an hour at a shot. I could see that being annoying.
