They put the prime blob in the worse place ...

Yes not the best place, but even without the blob, you don't see much from this viewing angle. The webcam is only useful for higher objects.

Yah, it is unfortunate placement (though good placement while staying in the confines of the box is admittedly difficult). I use it mostly to make sure there isn't a bunch of spaghetti in there, which even that placement could tell you after a few minutes, or if the head is just dragging around the print.

That's right, but I like also to see the first few layers, and this is not possible from that angle. So I usually use a second cam, mounted on the top frame to see the top view.
