As somebody learning music theory actively, I respect the content he puts out but I don’t really respect his presentational format. His doodles are distracting and often only tangentially related to whatever he’s talking about.

Interesting. For me they help follow what he's saying: after a few minutes I can peek at the doodles and I remember what points he touched.

I never thought some people might dislike that part, but now I see you and a sibling comment do.

I wonder if it's good for people like me (who don't know much about music theory) and bad for people in the field. If this is the case I believe it's a good choice: the audience of non experts is much bigger and thus the minority of viewers finding this annoying will outweight the problems of those who dislike it.

I completely agree.

So I just turn off the video and treat these presentations as podcasts. I find the audio content is informative and doesn't need the visual distraction at all.
