#2I'm likely in the minority, but I found 3blue1brown videos difficult to understand and they usually give me a worse intuition about a concept than I previously had. I wonder why that is. Seems like most people I know swear by his videos.

Well. I mean. We all have different ways we learn. Are there youtube channels that HAVE worked for you?

Were there any specific things that were making it difficult for you?

Just do a lot of exercise and keep going over the same stuff (periodically) until you see deeper into it.

#72b1b does a video on how you raise e to a matrix (hint: raising something to e is converted into another function where it's not nonsensical to do such a thing.)
In about 10 minutes he explains something my math methods instructor struggled with over two weeks (4 classes). I was resistant to the view that YouTube could host "decent" instructional content for a long time. That video was one of the first that was CLEARLY superior to the instruction I received at a tier 1 research institution.

For me it's the visual component, especially the animated transitions that very neatly highlight the relation between various concepts or values.
I learned most of the topics in those videos well enough to pass highschool/university exams, but very often the real "aha!" moment came after seeing lines transform from one into another, planes deforming, or boxes being subdivided in 3blue1brown video.

#93b1b is doing everyone a huge favor with these lessons.
Teaching is certainly a lot different today. Decreased attention spans, underfunded schools, and ChatGPT make it a lot harder, but online modules and tutorials like these make it a lot easier.

I feel the same. There are often big leaps he makes in terms of understanding, where I get lost.
