I feel like you're comparing apples and oranges.

I love Numberphile, but they work best as an exposure to new concepts. I'm not watching Numberphile to help me with my statistics homework, I'm watching to be introduced to the concept itself in a relatively entertaining way. It's closer to recreational math than a learning aid.

On the other end, I find KA videos to be a bit dry, but are useful when I need help with a specific concept in statistics or calculus or something.
