I understood nearly zero of all mathematics (beyond the elementary school stuff) before I've found betterexplained and some relevant YouTube videos. I could learn formulae and some typical solutions by heart to substitute values and solve some exam problems but hardly ever understood them. I felt school/college math pure waste of time as I didn't actually understand anything. Things like betterexplained were a blast that opened an entire new beautiful exciting world to me instantly.

I went, "hang on, I thought... that wasn't a game after all?!". Decades later I discover 3b1b and Pavel Grinfeld [1] videos. My fist emotion was anger: "This is what you told me 'just a table of numbers'?". What a cruel joke!
