The article is about Professor Hannah Fry's work.
That would be the same Professor Hannah Fry in the video.....
The article is essentially a text version of that video.
Ok. Still not plagiarism though. They've referred to the original author and credited their work.
Other post is correct. At worst it's lazy clickbaiting.

Yes they credit her, but what did they actually add themselves?
