I watched through your series, im personally a utilitarian, i found these arguments to be unconvincing. The general message of the video was that "while indeed pleasure is good and pain is bad, ethics is just more complex than that" essentially critizing utilitarianism as simplistic. but then the videos turn around and provide very simplistic ( and therefor not accurate) "refutes" of utilitarianism that dont capture the whole story. For example, in your second video you create this innocent man example which portrays the innocent man and the mob as the only two parties in play, which they clearly arent its very hard to justify killing the innocent person through utiliterianism when taking the complexities of the situation into account. This appears to be intellectually dishonest, this video should at least state that utilitarians have a response to each of these objections and maybe deal with those objections.
