In my experience, these YouTube channels buy that simplicity in exchange for leaving out many (important) details. Sure, college professors aren't all didactic geniuses, but making things accurate usually requires to also make it more complicated.

Sometimes you need the simplified building blocks before you can grasp the full scope, though, and sometimes the professors don’t provide the building blocks but the YouTuber does. So the “core concept” videos end up helping you understand the professor’s details.

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
