I just watched the first video. The issue really is that the circuit network isn't the correct format for this. He specifically introduces a new notation without description, then shows that his new notation violates KVL. that's fine, but no one else is going to do that. In practice, a 1V EMF source would be added in place of the battery -- the diagram is just a model of the physical system after all.
You can also get confusing results when you try to solve purely electro-statics questions with a circuit diagram. such as the one in post #29. (if you think of two plate caps that touch, you can see it takes energy to move the existing charge to the expanded area.)
(the cube is a good question as it is the same as a bridge circuit. because the voltage at the 4 nodes not connected to the source is the same, no current flows in several resistors. It's really just 4 2ohm resistors in parallel, for 0.5 Ohm)
