Beauty in mathematics is overrated.
If you study enough, you might end up finding some results or proofs elegant and beautiful and so on, and that's great. But in a lot of online materials (e.g. youtube, quanta magazine) beauty is a trick used by people who think that math is important to push math on people who don't care about it and there's something very offputting about the whole thing.
I think people don't need to worry about the beauty in mathematics that much - study math as much as you need/want and if something ends up looking beautiful to you, that's just a nice bonus.
