when I first started playing an instrument, I learned through your videos. Everything I know is all because of your videos, so thank you.

In all subjects I've always felt mnemonic devices are just a cheap way to memorize how to reproduce answers on a test and do nothing to actually help anyone understand concepts

I had a first lesson with a student today who has been playing for a few months but was mystified by note names. "So, it's just the alphabet? It's that easy?" You bet, my dude. It's that easy.
Be careful teaching mnemonics, folks! They're memorable, but they cause plenty of confusion if you don't make sure the person understands the underlying patterns of note naming.
