Mo problem. Just a part of Being There
Whether of not it will do any good remains to be seen.
For established users from any other site the on hold notice should be enough to tell them what needs fixing. Users new to SE completely, however, don't get much "help" from the notice, and providing "pointers" for fixing the question seemed like a useful endeavor.

I have recently created a YT channel teaching people to convert binary into decimal, decimal to binary and was wondering if you guys could give me your feedback on how well I have taught these topics and any improvements I can make. I plan to make an entire series teaching Computer Architecture and networks in this teaching style :). The style of my teaching is to teach to the point and leave out the excess stuff if that makes sense.

Your question is unusual for us, hence the hesitation here. The content of your question is mostly just the links. We normally close such questions quite quickly, preferring more self contained posts. We do the same for answers BTW.
As I said in comments we are a small community here (compared to others) and one worry I had with your question is whether enough people would be interested and have the time to provide a review. Mostly we don't review anything, just offer suggestions on teaching questions.
I will point out, however, that video alone is likely not sufficient for teaching. Some people (me) have disabilities that make its use problematic, especially if there is an audio channel.
Another issue with video is that it can lead students into a passive situation (explore Active Learning). It has the additional down side that it has to be paused to let viewers reflect and take notes, lest they miss something. It usually takes several views to get much out of it.
Of course if the videos are very short, that is less of an issue.
But there are several related questions here. "Are videos of any kind a good way to teach this?" is the one to start with.
You could probably (others here may have different opinions) improve your question by giving some background on your situation as well as the strategy you use both in the class and in designing the script of the video. How, for example, did you assure the you cover the essential ideas in a comprehensible way for your audience?
I'll be away from this page. Ping me if you want more. Others should arrive pretty soon, actually.

@StraightupCS Your question could definitely be reworked to be a good match for the site

@Peter Are you teaching any new courses next year?
@buffy I wouldn't advise people that we don't have expertise or numbers, both because that chases people away, and because answers don't have to come immediately to add value.
