If ISIS is media savvy enough to send out these vids, they also must now understand that they are having the opposite effect, instead of deterring, they are causing a drone led assault.
So why do it? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.... 
they are religious fanatics, intelligence is not a requirement.
What do you mean it's not working, it's doing exactly what it was designed to do....
The only thing I can think is that it's to show they're not afraid of the big state powers. Allah has told them to do this, and with Allah on their side, the cause is just and right
Smite them at the neck their book says

"Clean off"
desperate cry for attention by people we normally wouldn't give a fuck about
"look at what I'm doing, I'm relevant"
I'm guessing that to them, getting blowed-up is better than being ignored
It's inducing fear. So they don't care, they are willing to die for their cause. Insane bastards
They are a bunch of assholes. Fuck them
