I thoroughly enjoyed watching 3b1b's videos. They're very intuitive for me.

I would argue: this video is an outlier in that it's "best of the best". I've seen other videos. While they're usually "good", they're also usually very dry.

And I've absolutely seen some "meh" videos. Apropos of nothing, I met Jim Blinn a month ago which got me thinking about "the mechanical universe" (from '85-'86) which was one of the first videos I saw that really "nailed it" in terms of using video to teach technical concepts.

So good videos aren't a new thing. But I think there's MUCH more decent and excellent content coming out these days.
