Productivity porn is a great name for it. For me, it's akin to a trashy gossip magazine - you know it's kind of trash, but enjoy it for what it is. It always makes me smirk when the videos themselves call out your last point, and say "you can't just think about it, you need to act on it, go out there and Carpe Diem!" and we all smile and nod and click the next video without moving from our chairs.
I hope I'm not coming off as too negative though, as I think they are marginally better than most types of content on YouTube. Especially the more popular channels such as Ali's may appear on people's feeds that have never once even thought about _having_ any sort of system, and for them it's a big win. Once you're past surface level though, they generally don't have much more to offer, but are kind of fun to watch regardless.
