I knew who will be the author basing just on the title and the platform This channel is unparallelled

Asianometry is kind of interesting because on the one hand, if you were to make a presentation like he does in a school you'd obviously fail the class and get an F (blatant plagiarism, unsourced, no media attribution, pls put coins in my patreon), if you did this in university it'd even be grounds for being expelled (probably needs doing it at least twice though).

On the other hand if you look at the comments he's inspiring a few people to go into this field and many people who wouldn't engage with these topics at all otherwise, do. And these two groups don't care about the mistakes either, one doesn't really need to, the other will actually learn the stuff anyway. So I guess this makes him a net positive, even if his conduct as a "youtube creator" is rather disgusting (which is pretty much par for the course on that site obviously).

That was hard for me to read. I’ll try to do better.

Sources would be great, but honestly not sure I would read to much into this assessment.

Idk what your background is, but if I had to guess you did research for a financial firm that sold memos or a were a consultant.

Information you present seems high quality and it may all be available on the internet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you had to talk to people offline because it’s not just on wikipedia.

All this to say, I fucking love your channel because it is well-researched. Honestly in my first read of GP’s comment, I was expecting him to critique our academic institutions for being unable to reward such content.

Seems like their only real complaint is lack of sources, which i understand. But i also understand that there's probably dozens if not hundreds of sources for videos like this and things like where the images come from are also implied based on the specific company that's being discussed at the time. But other than like a source doc in the description, i think if you gave this presentation at my school you'd get engaged and interested discussion, and a few marks off for sources, but this is a youtube doc. The rest of us really liked the video, and that other guy will probably just find something else to complain about if you fix the source.

I think that rather than trying to be perfect, it's much more important that you continue to make videos in a way that is sustainable for you. Like, if you make perfectly sourced videos but only ever have the time and energy for 3 more then that's on the whole a loss compared to whatever you were going to do anyway.

Anyways, it's very late, hope that made sense. Love the videos

What's the alternative to education in this subject? What's the purpose of comparing it to professional education? I work in a fab and never learned this history. I've encountered a single person outside of work with interest in my industry and it's because he watches this channel. I think this comment is sour on youtube for education, which sucks, because youtube is one of the most accessible tools for education today.
