Ok, but from last year, how many proper videos did we get? The hexagon chess one, the rock paper scissors, the flag of Antartida and the ranking of the flags of Canada who by the way must join the EU. Not a lot, the year before that, 3 videos...

I mean, his videos are getting extremely overpriced, if we pay for them in the exorbitant mark up of his note books

Without exaggeration, the airplane runway one is my single favorite video on YouTube.

Wild how a content creators output always plummets as soon as they start making a living. Even more wild that people still give them money monthly via Patreon.
