This is different than what is recommended in books I have been reading like "Winning Low Limit Holdem" or "Small Stakes Holdem."
I assume this is because those books are geared towards low limit, loose passive games whereas Dnegs' advice is towards the higher limit games where the players are more TAGgy?
WLLHE was written for absolute beginners, trying to get them to maybe break even in really soft games in the 90's(?). Games are tougher now, rake is probably 2x as much, and you'd be in an amazing game where you could come close to winning playing that loose/passively.
Agree with checkraisdraw that DNegs probably overvalued small PP hands in this video. Maybe in a tournament where you have tons of chip equity spots to get people to fold? Also, he's doing a 13 minute video to explain one mix game to likely NL players, so a bit of strange advice might be expected.

He recommends playing very aggressively with lots of thin value betting.
That would be correctly played limit hold'em. The fact that you boiled down his video to this explanation says he did a good job.
