This is the least useful way to explain music theory IMO: listing a set of rules and conventions that are used in music theory. If you know nothing about music, you won't be able to make music after learning all of this. It does not actually EXPLAIN anything. Where do these rules come from, and how to use them? Why are there white and black keys? Why does some notes have several names? What are modes for and how to use them? When I started learning music a few years ago, stumbling upon this kind of content made me so frustrated it inspired me to start https://www.mamie-note.fr https://www.mamie-note.fr, a website to actually explain music theory. It's in french but I'm considering releasing an english translation. Shoot me a message if you'r curious or interested.
