No. Keep this in mind when some people complain on Twitter about the ending being a letdown because it didn't fulfill their fantasies about Walt's punishment.

What is said: "Walter is a GENIUS for making that tape!"

Actually "rooting" for Walt the way people did when this show started is a futile exercise. We know he is going to fail and that he will exposed. More likely people are rooting for Walt to get out of situations in the most brilliant way possible (e.g. that tape), because we know it is going to lead to something

They all moved to the "Walt is a bastard, but DAMN he's brilliant!" train.

"Some might call it ownage. But our admiration for Walt the badass schemer, wriggling out of the noose and leaving it around someone else’s neck, sours quickly as the video plays."
Speak for yourself. I can't help but grin when Magnificent Bastard moments like that video happen.
