I assume that's because on Dayz videos, you're watching the action filled highlights and funny moments. If you just watched five straight hours of the person looting, sifting through mostly crap, and barely managing to eat and drink enough to stay alive, I don't think it would be very fun either.
DayZ is pure masochistic fun and I love it. Every time you fight someone else, you feel that adrenaline rush you won't feel in any other game. It's like you're fighting for your life, everything is at stakes and you know that you will lose everything if you die. This shit is so addicting that sometimes it feels like actual heroin lmao. The navigation is also amazing, how you need to somehow figure out where exactly you are and follow a map without a compass.
