This is cool. I immediately clicked because I thought of this awesome video from a couple years ago, Animation vs Math:

I like math but showing someone a giant graph isn’t always the best approach. :)

Agreed. 3Blue1Brown has, by making their videos, publishing Manim, and critically by fostering a broader community of math YouTubers instead of trying to hoard the audience for themselves (through SoME), moved mathematics pedagogy forward immensely. (Sal Khan also deserves credit here.) He's created a genre that makes math feel like an exciting and approachable journey, rather than a process of memorization and symbol manipulation.

Made math like building blocks vs a foreign language.
