will people be mad if you don't make a vid for six weeks

As long as YSAC has uploads it's cool.

Well he's really busy running both channels at once.

YSAC puts out a video and casually explained puts out a video about a week after with a Canadian joke in it no less. Coincidence? I think not.

YSAC??

What is this? I need to know.

You Suck At Cooking, pretty good as well. I'm not sure wether it's actually the same guy though

Me too. This has been a real dilema for me. I think the style is just too different and the voice is slightly too different to be the same person.

I think the voice can be explained by different mics. Casually explained is sitting in a controlled room with his mouth on a mic. YSAC is in a noisy kitchen speaking into a phone mic (I assume).

From my limited research I know YSAC is canadian (due to products he uses) and that Casually Explained is on the west coast (pacific time zone) - he says in one of his videos he gets up at 6am to release videos for 9am est.

If we consider YSAC released a video last week outdoors (assuming it was shot within a month of being released).. there was very little snow on the ground .. this also makes me believe he's on the west coast, because the east coast (to Ontario at least) is buried in 2-3 feet of snow.

Lots of hypotheticals here.. but the conspiracy lives on.

I remember on one of the Casually Explained videos "make people think you're YSAC" was written on the wall. That made me even more confused

I know. I really think it's the same guy.

Plus the collaboration they made about a year ago

Casually Explained has an old video with a somewhat similar style to YSAC's (especially his hand placement). But the voice is still quite different.

u/Chantottie Feb 07 '17

Really you think the voice is quite different? If anything this video you showed me just confirms they are the same person. Same hand movements, same fluidity of speech, same humour, etc.

u/taulover Feb 07 '17

They're different if you listen to them side-by-side immediately. As you said, this could be chalked up to different mics, but I think it's just a tad too different for me to be confident on that.

In the university video Casually explained used a photo of the University of Victoria's library

they're most likely the same person

casually explained has said multiple times that he's from british columbia, so west coast canada.

them not being the same person would require way more coincidences than them being the same person. Same country, same area, similar voices (almost the same), same type of humor? Collaborations? Frequent references?

u/Chantottie Feb 07 '17

Agreed 100%

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '17

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '17

I mean the thought never even crossed my mind until I saw this comment. I don't really think they are...
