This kind of stuff happens all the time. Creators grow and start making higher-quality media but accidentally polish out all the imperfections that made their content great to begin with. Plus a lot more people work on Kurzgesagt videos than before, so the channel is pretty much a business now. You make something great and people will flock to it to exploit it for profit, or people will want to become part of it but can't recreate the magic like the founders. Big youtubers get spammed by advertisers and the SFW child-friendly youtubers move on to make deals and become artificial celebrities for products and services.

Most science channels lost their should the moment they made it big, not implying they got lower quality is that Vsauce made in a studio vs Vsauce made in his garage feel very different.

is that your email? are you a youtuber?

>>12670732
Nah I got it from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCk_vh37se8&t=26s

Advertisers are flies trying to lay their little maggots into your work. You accept their payment and think "it's only 30 seconds" but you end up accustomed and dependent on the increased revenue so you behave for them. It restricts your freedom. You shit out more videos just for the sake of it instead of because you enjoy the creative effort.

>expecting anything good from popular channels ever
popular channels are popular because they dumb down their content to the point that its a waste of time but still entertaining enough for the 90 IQ masses that regularly use youtube.

>Meme pop sci Chanel
>Shit
How long did it take you to realize this? I've noticed that the lower someone's IQ, the longer it takes them to realize this.

Thunderf00t is still good, because he's a legit scientist who refuses to sell out.

>>12672140
will he ever admit he was wrong about spacex?

>Kurzgesagt
Literal Christian Democratic Union of Germany propaganda.
There was a major email dump of all the German politician emails. In the emails there were some sent by the CDU to Kurzgesagt's email offering payment to promote UBI and climate change.

Dude just trust me.
Or go google for it. I don't have the links on me atm.
It was all in German and didn't get any attention here on the English side of the internet.

>Why did they go to shit?
They were always shit, you've just matured.

>>12670519
I'm not a scientist, but I enjoy the content, for science content I just watch Anton Petrov. The other popular channels like Veritasium, Vsauce, Kurzgesagt, etc, I just watch if the topic mentioned interests me.

You brainlets need to shut the fuck up. This channel used to be fucking awful, and it's gotten so much better than it was back in the day, it's kind of amazing how much they've improved. Don't believe me? Go watch their video conspiracy debunking heuristic video from 2014, then compare it to the recent weaver ants video, or the intelligence video. The only reason they do those shitty political propaganda essays is because they were paid a fuck ton of money to animate them. Animated videos like these are not profitable, or easy to promote on that platform. Basically all of their stuff is philosophically retarded, and none of it is well researched, and half of it is fucking wrong, but this channel is literally just popsci tripe, it isn't taught in schools. It is supposed to look cool, and you're a brainlet if it upsets you. I like some of their videos, I like to see how much they get correct. I like the animation, and I like the birds very much.

Thunderfoot is fucking retarded bro. Everything he says is obvious back of the envelope shit you should be able to do yourself. What a faggot.

That's exactly what I said.

potholer54 is still the best normie science education channel

Some channels integrate well with ads. I think that internet historian is the best example of that. His content hasn't changed for the worse from when he started. But I agree that in general advertisers make a channel go down the shitter

>kringegesoy

Their old videos were very good, their astronomy videos were god tier. Now it's just shitty pop-sci for drooling retards who don't know elementary knowledge. It's also very, very political and I'm saying this as a fucking leftie.

>>12672535
He gets his kicks from flexing on brainlets

>>12672535
potholer is literally a journalist and has never studied or done any science.

Kurzgesagt was always dog shit just like all pop sci faggotry is

>>12670519
>what?! this immensely popular youtube channel that cares about nothing but making profit and spends more time on their pretty graphics than their research is not a reliable source of scientific information???? HOW COULD THIS BE??!!!

>completely destroys all other pop science YouTube channels with his quality of production and content
nothing personal kid

>>12670519
I stopped watching them years ago when they made a pro refugee video

>>12675115
This it was pretty clear a long time ago that they were just using soience as a front for their crypto-commie/le grand replacement drivel

still its possible to do entertaintment+science well see
curiousdroid or isaac arthur

>>12675105
That's because he's not a pop-sci channel. Veritasium is legit.
