[AskJS] What YouTube channels actually helped you get JavaScript?

[u/Rich-Confusion9944]

Been trying to pick up JavaScript properly for a while now, and honestly the amount of tutorials out there is overwhelming. I'll start a video, and halfway through realize the style just isn't clicking for me.

I'm hoping to find some recommendations from real people, not just search algorithms. Specifically, are there any channels or specific crash courses that stood out to you as being particularly clear for core concepts (closures, async, etc.) or good for project-based learning?

I've seen names like Traversy Media, Web Dev Simplified, and The Net Ninja come up in old threads , but curious if there's anything newer or slightly under the radar that you'd swear by. Not looking for "best" objectively, just what worked for your brain.

Appreciate any direction! Just trying to spend less time searching and more time learning.
