I feel the same way about all math. I had such shitty math teachers, sometimes they literally did not know the subject at all (e.g. geometry). Now I find it fascinating, but so daunting to approach from scratch. I want a Numberphile-style teacher to explain why all the concepts are actually important, exciting, mysterious, etc.
For me, numberphile felt boring but Veritasium hit the spot. Everyone's different I suppose! (Numberphile is great and maybe I should check them out again but it just wasn't my pace, that's all)
I agree Numberphile can be slower, but I love James and watch a lot of Matt Parker (Stand-Up Maths), too, whom I discovered through Numberphile. There are a few good presenters on there, but others are a bit dull.
I do love Matt Parker too!
