You will quickly be parted with both the bike and lockI wouldn't lock a bike up somewhere sketchy tho.
Edit: Not swiping at you Tarkov, I agree with you.
What you see The LockPickingLawyer do isn't his first "crack at it" ….. his videos are prepared, scripted pieces.

General piece of advice is that if you are looking to buy a really expensive lock for security; you should probably evaluate putting your bike there to begin with.

If you lock it up in a medium to high theft area, one should look at these kryptonite 8 or higher security level. If you live in a low theft area, one could use a weaker lock but it is better to have a better lock if the difference in lock price isn't huge. Adjust accordingly to the value of your bike.
I lock up in a low theft area but my bikes are pretty expensive. U-locks are my favorite security. I also have Kryptonite NY cinch chain lock (9 out of 10 security), cable combination cable locks and folding locks. Chain locks are quite heavy to ride around with but are good if you go to various places that don't have any decent locking posts. Folding locks are light, convenient to carry and look cool but the security is much lower than a u-lock or chain lock. I think a folding lock is like 1 or 2 levels above a cable lock so it isn't going to provide great security. It is still useful as I use it on my kick scooters in a low theft area. So many people are locking up expensive bikes with cable lock and getting away with it. I would never try that.
How to choose the correct kryptonite?

There is a mini 7 U-lock with a cable for $59.99 sale on Amazon but it is actually 13mm 7" shackle with only 1 bolt mechanism rather than a 14mm 9" shackle with dual bolt. With dual bolt, a thief needs to make 2 cuts rather than 1 cut with a single bolt. It is a level 7 out of 10. The advantage of the mini is the lighter weight and more compact size to carry around. The advantage of the standard is the larger 9" shackle to attach to larger objects. You could even get the rear wheel and frame into the shackle so you get more protection for the back quick release wheel.
* I definitely recommend to have an accessory cable loop to lock the front wheel that probably has quick release.
