With the caveat that you must work on on every problem set you are confronted with.
An essential part of a physics education is struggling over extremely hard problem sets. (I'm assuming/hoping these channels offer decently hard problem sets.) This more than lectures teaches you how to flail about in unknown areas of physics and to gauge your own understanding. This I think is a physicist's superpower.

And, thankfully, when its physics courses went beyond my level of mathematics, it also has a mathematics course which I’m hoping will get me up to the right level.
