I’m not sure how this visualization is better than the hydrodynamic visualization, but it’s worse in one very important way - it uses “rotation” as a metaphor when angular momentum and spin are already very important. It would be hopelessly confusing to learn this metaphor (which has nothing to do with spin) and then try to disentangle it from your mental model when learning about spin later on.
