Damn bros, how does he do it? This guy's videos are a masterpiece in scripting and editing. Very few, if any youtubers, have ever managed to capture the type of magic that goes into one of these videos.

as much as I loved vsauce in the past, I don't enjoy his videos anymore since I got my physics degree. You realize that the majority of what he says is useless trivia that doesn't have any overarching theme.

I'm not claiming some superiority over him, I'm just saying his content does not interest me anymore. It's an ocean an inch deep. There are channels out there with way more specialized and in-depth content like Flammable Maths or Historical Italian Cooking and that's what I've leaned towards recently.

to a degree thats true but there arent many youtubers who even tried to be a science guy. most stick to 1 category and thoughtemporium is stuck doing experiments instead to finding data others had done and putting it forward. theres like 3 science guys on youtube. hundreds of talking heads for politics. used to be tens of thousands just 5 years ago

its partially the lack of competition. if the existing chemistry or electronics guys branched out early it would be different probably. his budget would be lower and that would impact the result even though he doesnt spend a lot on footage it would impact the perception of him and how willing any one is to give him the time of day and more data. if he had half as many views on vids he might not get as many call backs

offering the layman a hand to understand concepts that are above them isnt such a bad thing you know, given it doesnt promote a dogmatic view of science or give people impressions of science being simple and absolute

>>11808889
The truth is vsauce isn't doing much science really. The main reason why people like his videos is that he knows how to manage the average viewer's attention span. He doesn't compete with science guys because he isn't doing the same thing. Veritasium, for example, explains things. Michael doesn't. He just starts with a clickbaity premise, and then jump from fact to fact while making sure the viewer feels smart by listening to him.

What vsauce really does is not so much teach you about science than it is about making you think.

I visit /pol/ from time to time and was part of that #goBaldforBLM stuff, 90% of threads thought it was a legitimate campaign and /pol/ just hijacked it / just watched it happen. It's an absolute shitfest. Also being deleted by K-Pop stans was embarrassing.
