Knots weaken the strength of the line they are tied in. In that respect how does this loop compare with others?

Thank you for sharing this video The knot you are presenting is NOT a 'Bowline'. It is in fact a 'Directional Figure 8 eye knot'. It is found at illustration #1058 in the 'Ashley Book of Knots' (ABoK). Ashley incorrectly identified this knot a a 'Bowline' - given the number of knots published in his book (circa 1944) all of which was done without the aid of a modern computer - it is somewhat understandable that he slipped up a few times. In fact, there are quite a few errors in his masterpiece - and Dan Lehman (IGKT) has been compiling a long list of the errors. I am going to assume that you also noticed this knot at #1058 - and simply copied Ashley's name? In order for a knot to be deserving of the title of 'Bowline', certain important requirements must be met. First and foremost is the requirement for a 'nipping loop' (which may have either 'S' or 'Z' chirality). The 'nipping loop' is the fundamental component all of 'Bowlines'. The absence of a 'nipping loop' automatically disqualifies a knot structure from being a 'Bowline'. #1058 Directional F8 has no 'nipping loop' - therefore it is automatically disqualified from the class of knots known as 'Bowlines'. There are a few other requirement too - but I won't go into lengthy details here...

Not a bowline, as said in previous comments, but a fig 8 loop. A bowline is a sheet bend tied back onto its own standing part. This doesn't have a sheet bend structure in it. I do enjoy your style. Crisp enunciation and warm enthusiasm. Thank you.

I too have seen this named a directional figure 8 loop. And it seems to have a serious failure concern if the tension is pulled the oppose direction than intended.

The loop will hold a load as long as the direction of pull is along the natural lay of the loop. Whether both ends of the rope are under tension, or just the top end. What you do NOT want is for the load inside the loop to pull away from the bottom end of the rope - the end which runs out of the knot and down past the bottom of the loop. The knot can invert and become insecure - it could pull all the way open if the “top” end of the rope is slack and not secured to something. Either way, the loaded loop can slide open and out of position if you let the load pull the loop the wrong way against the wrong leg. The legs themselves can both be pulled as hard as you want, but don’t let the loop get pulled in the wrong direction.

looks like a fig8 on the bight, but still dont get the use of ot over the alpine butterfly, the AB is easier to tie than this, has a bit more of usefulness from what i can see. a good knot to learn and know never the less
