When I was growing up, we had discovery channel. That sparked my intrinsic curiousity. My daughter has that intrinsic motivation as well, but only for k-pop now. She likes youtube videos and she likes when I tell her about science stuff. Maybe I can combine that by recommending her some good youtube channels.
God I can’t stand Veritasium. Even the name is so fucking pretentious. Dude is in deep love with himself, I can’t watch it. There’s just something about narcissists, I get an allergic reaction listening to them.
I can see that. I, like you, appreciate the content, but I have found myself watching fewer of his videos. I guess that’s also because he seems to be farming out his content production now. I like the self-produced stuff more than larger-scale productions.
I’m shocked I’m not alone, I was prepared to endure the downvote enema, good to know I’m not way off in my judgment at least.
Apparently the channel is owned by private equity now

Good news than, he recently made a video about stepping back a little and letting his colleages do more videos.
Just call him Dirk instead, he makes good videos.
Yes yes I know, I like the content. I just can’t stand him as a person. That’s on me. I was brought up by narcissists so I have this spider sense about it and I get a visceral reaction.
Well, his name is Derek.
That was part of the joke I was trying to make but I can see it was a miss since people didn’t get the reference, never mind! It’s on me.
