she is removing the "suckers" , these suckers will grow more tomatoes but she wants to have less quantity of tomatoes and force the plant to concentrate more on larger growing and possibly earlier harvest.
you don't have to do this, it's more of an option, I rarely remove suckers and have still plenty of very large and abundant harvest, it depends on how you prefer to grow them

suckers do not "sap" energy ...lol ... leaves and stems are the growth engine of the plant... ,cutting off leaves and stems, in no way increases the plants energy.
suckering is beneficial if you have a relatively short growing season,, or if you are training the plants up a string. If you want huge tomatoes the best way is to remove all but one tomato from each truss.

lol what a load of crap ,with good sunlight and great soil there is no diffrence , yeild is all in the conditions and the soil, my friends all prune theres and there yeild doesnt compare to mine and i do nothing , but maybe its the good sunlight we have here in australia, to me pruning seems to stress the plant.
the suckers grow more tomatoes,

@Mr40up Glad to hear you've had such great yields on your tomato plants without pruning the suckers -- for me, it's never worked that well and pruning them is what I was taught to do for better yield.

Thanks! I'm using a basic flip camera for all of my videos -- works really well.

Hi Hacker!
Yes, I am removing the suckers because, in my experience, they have sapped plants of the energy to produce great tomatoes. But as you've pointed out, it can be a preference. It just happens to be mine. Thanks for commenting!
