I just watched an Easy German video on the 16 German states. They name each state, then talk about its size, population, specialties, tourist attractions, and its capital. So there were 16 opportunities for me to hear that vocabulary, and 16 opportunities to hear similar phrases used in slightly different ways.
It was also good for making new vocabulary comprehensible, since it's almost like filling in a blank. The context becomes more and more familiar with each repetition so it's easier to guess what new vocabulary means.
So many list style videos and blog posts have a similar format. They talk about the same thing many different ways. So you get repetition. You also get various ways to phrase the same idea. And it's also less boring than reading the same blog post 10 times.
I'm going to keep an eye out for this kind of content because it really is helpful to get so many repetitions in the same piece of content.
