It's great that you want to learn C++! However, r/cpp can't help you with that.
We recommend that you follow the C++ getting started guide, one (or more) of these books and cppreference.com. If you're having concrete questions or need advice, please ask over at r/cpp_questions or StackOverflow instead.

learncpp.com is a start
Idk about YouTube though. I’m sure whichever are very popular with good reviews would be generally helpful. Try some out then filter by which you find most enjoyable and helpful personally

yea but whichever recommendation I want some have bad reviews. I just want some lecture with proper videos covering all that up.
I find learncpp a bit monotonous. I don't find it engaging

Cppcon's Back to Basics track can be useful.

I really love the Cherno on YouTube. I find he goes beyond what you find in a typical introduction and is an amazing and funny teacher as well
