I like them better the more the principle “show, don’t tell” is applied. You tend to talk fast and a lot. When you make concrete examples it’s a nice interruption. I guess that telling is cheaper to start with though.
Although you say that the latest videos are higher quality, and in some sense I can see that they look more professional, I found the video about how to discuss funnier and more engaging because of your acting. The newer videos are more rigid, you stand in front on the camera and talk mechanically (makes me recall my Italian teachers in high school). But maybe it is effective to look like a serious teacher, to convey the sense that the ideas are important?
Specific comment: in the video about books on decisions, I think that the example about losing all your possessions vs. gaining 3x is an example of utility != money, not of irrationality. It’s pretty confusing, because if I lose everything I can’t pay the bills, the food, etc. I think it’s a fallacy when I have 1000 € and I won’t risk 1€ to make 3€.
I watched some of the 10 min videos (in Italian).
