You can get away with flat (or at least less steep) roofs in places like Ireland that don't tend to have heavy snow load issues.

The title is a bit of a joke against the thumbnail - "pointless" here means "purposeless." The video is about structures built that do not serve a traditional function, e.g. they exist only for aesthetics, or just to make someone "earn" money rather than donating money.
