Why is Vilppu always recommended?

I'm just watching Vilppu's drawing essentials, and it seems like he just spends ages explaining something that should take less time.

The first videos are all on value scales and take 6 videos of ~10mins each. He explained pretty much everything in the first 2 videos and the rest is just ramblings and using different mediums.

Are the rest of his courses like this?
I get he's a master artist and teacher, but it's so slow for me and as I work full time, it I don't want to spend hours just watching videos when it can be explained in less time.

Are there any alternatives to vilppu?
Should I just take CGMA courses j stead and skip all this "classical" / fine art training courses?

I still want to be able to draw realistically eventually, but at the moment I don't get all the hype over Vilppu.
