"because I hated it to have to scroll that much"
 * If you have a fast scroll wheel, or you section-edit and use [CTRL]+[END] to get to the end of a section, you won't have much difficulty scrolling to the end of a section. If you use [CTRL]+F, you won't need to scroll to find a singer or video id in the middle of a page. And it is less than 10% more scrolling that you will have to bear while editing, a small sacrifice for the substantial benefits of being able to copy and blank the last entry much more easily, and with more certainty.

"I never thought of it to be a problem to manually retype }}"
 * If you are copying the template transclusion to maintain the alt parameter, it becomes a significant hassle to retype the braces, twice after you've copied the first instance, for each of the 10 times you copy the transclusion.

"All you then have to do is to copy and paste the alt line"
 * You forgot to mention the effort it takes to find the template (page navigation and scrolling), move your mouse to the correct locations to copy and paste the text, remind yourself where you're pasting it to (which tab and which position of the text box), and then make sure you still have the alt parameter.

"the braces are kind of difficult to input"
 * If you have extra difficulty with this on a mobile device, then that's another good reason to put them on a seperate line, in addition to my own.

"On a slightly different topic I think the spaces between YT, nnd, and utaite in the template are unnecessary and was thinking about editing the template. I'm glad you brought it up."
 * That might not be necessary. See http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/2783/space-around-operators-a-b-2-or-a-b-2-what-are-the-arguments. These ideas may be applied to our templates as well (meaning that for the same reasons as those discussed in that link, we may prefer to keep the spaces).
