I am going to talk from a position of ignorance as I have not seen the video. To be a good premier for newbies the video should attempt to make a clear connection between our debt based monetary system, energy production and the accumulation of resources. If the cost of energy goes up, then this filters through into all products/services and is a good explanation for our cost-of-living crisis.

Growth based economies lead to overconsumption which leads to resource depletion but before real depletion you get high costs and a population that slowly gets poorer in real terms. The other product of overconsumption is excess pollution which is most clearly seen in how our climate is changing. At least that is the thing that grabs the most headlines. For a 50-minute video I would expect some coverage of these things. You don't need to get into the nitty gritty, but you do need to paint a general picture and provide a framework for newbies do further digging.

He should have highlighted that the cost of living is a global issue which is a clear indication we have a systemic issue and is not something that can be fully explained by merely having incompetent politicians (a common reframe of a lot of people).

I can see why he may opt to leave things on a high note as often that is what people want to hear and gets you more views, clicks and more money if he is thinking of monetising on some level. The reality is there are no solutions but then no one wants to hear that. Saying the best thing is a managed decline that keeps suffering to a minimum is not something people want to hear or see. The fact that we are already talking about niche topic will spell doom for his channel.
