As a YouTuber, I'm now wondering if I shouldn't focus on making sure people get at least three, and maybe only three, key take aways from my educational/opinion videos?

As a research mathematician, who knows the author (Ravi Vakil) personally --
This advice is for the audience, not the speaker. (There's lots of good advice out there on how to give a talk, too!)
If Ravi gave a seminar talk, and everyone listening wrote down their "three things", then I'm sure he would be delighted if everyone's note cards were different.
