No, just every 3 years is fine, or if you have squishy brakes.
Brake fluid absorbs water which causes squishy brake feel, corrosion in the lines and pistons and the water lowers the boiling point which is dangerous when racing and really heating your brakes up.

Nice video it's a shame you don't have one with the Brake Pad change alone.

Thanks
How can you tell if you have to replace the Rotor as well?

Several of us got together yesterday to flush ours. It was pretty obvious that mine had not been done in some time(I just bought it last summer). It would be worth it to do, just to know you have fresh fluid.
