This series is so good but it is unfinished with the last video being uploaded 5 years ago. I want for Chris to finish it so badly.
There is also an 'antikythera fragments' playlist with the most recent video from September 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLBDKmFG90U&list=PLZioPDnFPN...
Personally, I use it to support public content, because I have the means to do so now, and because I didn’t always.

x100 channels I may watch.

The club is affordable. What makes it exclusive is the intellectual alignment required to unlock the value of the information. Not everyone has that. If you have it, consider joining the club while you are still alive so you can enjoy the benefits of membership and fraternity with people like you. After that brief period expires, the club will be truly exclusive for a long time.
