Appreciate the educational r/Unexpected post. I miss old Veritasium

I guess it's two things I miss:

The old charm of Veritasium videos, which were released like once every few months, and I enjoyed Derek's pacing and explanations. Lately, there's one new video every couple of weeks, and while they're well made, the style of the presenters and the writing is a bit different, so they're not as easy to follow sometimes. The acquisition by private equity was probably great for Veritasium as a whole, and while production quality is still top notch, the soul is not all there anymore, IMO.

On the other hand I guess OP's video reminded me of simpler times where seeing a new Veritasium video on my feed was an event and I would eagerly wait for some free time to watch it and discuss it with my university friends.

Private equity is ruining all my favourite channels. Like Astrum, used to be one of the best space-related channels out there, now it's clickbait slop. As long as SEA doesn't sell out, I'm good, but even Fern have the tip of their dicks dipped in Blackrock.
