I also agree and asked a family member whom is a professional! Saying not to use tape like it's dangerous, it's not professional is your opinion and its merely a preference. How about stop getting hooked on one microscopic portion of the video and move on (people can do what they chose) and as for me I'm using the tape also since it'll make me feel even better and NO ONES LOOKING!"

Never wrap with tape! Unless the wirenut does not cover the copper completely! At that point you should trim the wire anyway!!!

To me... This is the biggest fail ever. Why the F would I connect 2 wires like that? Never even seen that.
