I think lesswrong would need a beginner/application section to deal with something like this. I’d also suggest doing it at the end of a long and very detailed single video with intentionally lower production value and much higher math content, more like a manim video than a mainline youtube video. That will produce more natural filtering; in order to get into the technical side of youtube you need to speedwatch long, highly technical videos, and skim the beginnings of many long technical videos when the recommender gives them to you, while also being disciplined about not watching nontechnical stuff. people who are using that pattern of videowatching are the ones who should almost certainly get encouraged to come visit lesswrong.

Upvoted for this idea.
