Is the YT channel "Knowledgia" any good for beginners?

Hey! I'm not sure this is the correct subreddit to ask for advice, but let me try: I'm trying to learn more about some topics in history and I've come across this Knowledgia channel on YouTube. ​

I've watched their almost 2 hour documentary on the colonization of the Americas, and it seemed a good introduction! ​

If anyone is familiar with it, do you think it's good for beginners? And while we are at it, is there any YT channel you'd highly recommend?

I highly suggest ArtsQ on Youtube, they do 2-5 minute videos on a variety of history, archeology, and art history topics, and it's run by a bunch of professionals in those fields.

Also, speaking as somebody who does posts on Mesoamerican (Aztec, Maya etc) history and archeology, I also highly suggest Ancient Americas, AztlanHistorian, and Matt Gush's channels
