Agreed on it not being clickbait, although I wish he went into more detail about how Sagan et al came up with their estimates, since that seems to be key to his whole argument.

The Drake equation along with the Fermi Paradox are well known in conjunction with SETI's goal for the past several decades. Seth, Frank Drake, Carl Sagan and Jill Tarter have all publicly talked about their justification for being confident in SETI's eventual success. Sagan even wrote a science fiction book about it that was made into a movie.
