3B1B is one of those content creators that consistently puts me in awe at how much stuff is out there today that is both very informative and very well produced

  I love the subjects they treat and the teaching style; however, a video is useless to me, i can't follow an argument in video format for some reason. If there were textual transcripts of the same words with static illustrations (or a few, non-automatic animations) it would be much more useful.

    It sounds like what you're asking for is a paper textbook.

      It can be a website also. Animations are cool, as long as they are not overwhelming.

    I'm the same. I mostly watch to get some sort of satisfaction thinking I'm "not really" wasting my time, since whatever I'm watching might be useful for me... which it never proves to be. Some are visual thinkers, I'm more intuitive.

    I think the visualizations are amazing for bringing concepts together, but you also absolutely have to do the work if you want to really understand and continue to work with the math concepts they talk about. I haven't really used 3b1b to advance my math understanding (I used it for math entertainment), but if I did, I would watch the video, work stuff out on paper, and then watch the video again
