Manim is incredibly cool, but my biggest takeaway from the video is how insane it is that Python apparently lets you reference a variable in a function that was defined outside the scope of the function.
3B1B is doing god's work. May his tribe increase!! I personally have benefited enormously from so many of his YT videos. I wish this is how Mathematics was taught in high-schools, Engg schools. <3 <3

I used to like AvE till COVID. Then he became an anti-masker conspiratorial nutjob.
I mean, kind of sounds like he never really changed, just your opinion of him did.
In light of receiving new information that goes against your own tenants against poorly researched misinformation, changing your opinion isn't really a noteworthy response.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but isn't that standard for pretty much every C-style language? Define a variable outside a function, parallel to the function, and even though that variable is outside the scope of the function it's still accessible inside the function. Or did you mean something else?

Is it that nobody kwen how to make good videos before? Or do you mean that teaching cannot be improved?

A YouTube video has a URL though. So just like a blog post, you can share it on all the same sites you mentioned with blog posts. Plus you have the built-in audience of YouTube and the algorithm that can help with discovery.. "Build it and they will come" has never been true, for videos or blogs...
There are surprisingly few venues for video content outside YT, at least not on a scale that would matter on YT! For example, if you want to get to the top of HN, non-video content has much better odds. Many tech- or science-centric subreddits discourage or ban videos too. YT is a fairly closed ecosystem that's both insanely resource-intensive to participate in, and that doesn't give creators too many second chances.…
Just create clips from your video and post them on insta, tiktok, twitter, FB, etc. That's the internet at large. If people are interested, they'll watch the full video.

Framed differently, it sounds like the youtuber opportunisticially divulged some of their true thoughts on topics slowly over time that would have alienated members of their audience had they known who and what they were initially supporting. Pretty cowardly, but not an uncommon tactic amongst his similar peers. In light of receiving new information that goes against your own tenants against poorly researched misinfo…
Framed in an insane way by someone looking to denigrate someone they don't like. I have no idea who you're targeting but you obviously have a chip on your shoulder.
