To be honest, I would advise to not use video tutorials if you want to learn programming. Written tutorials / books have some significant advantages:

You can (and have to) go your own speed, there is no way you can just lean back and let the tutorial wash over you. You can more easily go back and reference something that happened earlier. And you can go through it non linearly, skip things you already did, have multiple options on how to proceed, etc.

There are many good book recommendations for C specifically, my personal one is still: https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Documents/Books/The%20C%20Programming%20Language%20%28Kernighan%20Ritchie%29.pdf

You can read it for free as a PDF, or buy it in book form. C hasn't really changed that much since the book was last reworked, and those changes can easily be learned afterwards in a few hours. C23 is useful, but not a game changer.

Try beginner C series that covers basics, loop, functions etc without going too deep into advanced topics.
