This is not well motivated and is purely a text-to-speech video, which detracts from the video. There also needs to be significantly more exposition for this to be useful to a general audience.

Bad text to speech reading out text on a screen with literally zero value add

Hey, I would give you more than a 6, because it is a very good topic for a math video. I know what difficult it is to make good videos, you have to come up with a good script, animations, and a good voice over. If it helps with the motivation, this could be a really good video with a good enough production, so if you try to overcome all those things, which I know it’s hard, you will end up with a very good channel.

The explanation doesn’t benefit from being on a video format. One frequently has to pause to read the on-screen text. Definitions are given, but no small examples are worked through.
