I appreciate the author's enthusiasm for their subject, but titles like '8 Data Structures in 10 minutes' make me lol.

Practically speaking the engagement-centric approach this post appears to advocate for is likely to fail in the long run, if the goal is to build something lasting and not just a short-term experiment. For example, one of the more successful and lasting computing tutorial Youtubers is TheCherno, basically focusing on C++ and game engines and graphics. Clearly, a lot of effort goes into each post, and even though they're perhaps not as frequent, over time they do very well:
