Yes, Rick Beato. He covers all sorts of stuff to different extents. Like music theory in ten minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWpXy57-mvc .. but he has hundreds of videos on keys, modes, analyzing popular music, the works.

If you really know nothing you might enjoy this attempt at explaining harmony at five different levels from a child to Herbie Hancock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRkgK4jfi6M

Rick Beato also has a book and interactive courses that are on sale at the moment: https://rickbeato.com/ (I have bought the bundle, but I haven't had time to check it out yet.)

An other useful channel I can recommend is https://www.youtube.com/@DavidBennettPiano

Don't feel rushed, Rick's content is always on sale. I don't have first-hand knowledge, but have read some criticisms that the "Beato Book" is not always coherent or well organized. That said, I believe he has recently made substantial revisions, and added a lot of on-line content.

Probably not the worst way to spend ~$100!
