Uh. It's called not visiting.
There is a story told over about Rav Ahron Kotler zt"l.

Rav Ahron was known to yell at bochurim who asked questions in middle of shiur. He loved every bochur, and his yelling was pure rischa d'Oraysa, but the better the question, the more he would yell.

Quote from: Rav Moshe Heinemann about Rav Ahron
The rosh yeshiva did allow people to ask questions in middle of shiur, but you had to be prepared to get yelled at. The general rule was that the better the question was, the more you got yelled at. He would say, ‘Am ha’aretz,’ ‘Am ha’aeretz m’doreisa,’ and other such expressions that he was known to say. But if someone asked a question that was based on a mistake, or something that didn’t make sense, he didn’t answer, but he would just continue giving shiur.

(Nowadays, it’s difficult for us to understand how a rebbi would talk that way to a talmid, but in previous generations, bochurim understood that being called an am ha’aretz was not meant to insult the bochur, but rather it was a message from their rosh yeshiva to think harder and shteig, and that they were capable of doing that. So in a sense, the rosh yeshiva was praising the bochur.)

A story is told that a bochur once asked a kasha in middle of shiur, and Rav Ahron started yelling at him, expressing how the question is a mistake and that he does not understand the true meaning of the gemara. After going on for a short while, the bochur slipped out of shiur, but Rav Ahron didn't realize, so he continued. After a minute, Rav Ahron shouted, "send that bochur out!" When the other bochurim said that the bochur had already left, Rav Ahron said, "Ruf em tzurick un shik em arois nochamal - call him back, and send him out again!"

After skimming through the video, feel bad for those Rosh yeshiva sitting directly behind the speakers.

If there is one thing you would like to select to watch (other than singing/dancing) I highly recommend R Wachsman’s speech (3:08 mark). If not in its entirety, at least the last twenty minutes.

In general, it seems the media companies wanted compensation for any coverage from the big money behind this event, and perhaps it wasn't coming in.
I assumed BMG didn’t want it posted live online

I particularly liked the dancing just after the 4:04 mark.

I find it amusing how much the Lakewood RY seem to have enjoyed the dancing. Maybe time to introduce singing of lecha dodi and keil adon in BMG...

To anyone who spends simchas Torah in BMG it was familiar.

They still don't sing it? That must be torture.

They only sing lecha dodi the Friday night before Purim. In Yossi Czapnik’s first year in BMG, upon hearing them singing, he turned to R’ Schneur and said with mock dismay, “Simcha is ein zach. Uber hoilelus?!”

They say a joke that we say a pasuk in Megillas Ester in the tune of Eicha to make the Litvaks happy. Why then don't we do the whole megillah in that tune? Because that would be hoilelus.

I grew up without any singing in my shul. I would rather not have singing than have singing now.
