so a month ago I came across this super interesting video about mount baekdu:
It is a new channel that just skyrocketed with extremely high quality vids.
I came across another vid about volcanoes, and turns out that this is the same guy’s previous channel.
The guy published videos for 2 years, racked up 500k subscribers, but then decided to make a new channel in late 2020. Why?? I’m so confused.. his last video has an extremely low view count, that’s true.. but 500k subs! That’s gotta count for something!

this video:

lists two previously published videos in the ending cards (15:03 mark), but the card links are deleted, and only one of those two is actually published in the youtube channel. My guess is that maybe the author had to take down Part 2 “Mega Eruptions” video due to some problem (errors in information presented?) and maybe that was the reason to start a new channel

when compared to kurzgesagt..
kurzgesagt is very mainstream, easy to digest
with this guy, i need to take notes
like i’m shocked and super thrilled at the stuff being presented mid-video
but the guy explained theory like 5 minutes earlier about how they happen
and then goes through like 4 examples
and i’m like “okay what did he say about plume volcanism? because supposedly that’s why they are located under hawai… shit i need to rewind”
but even though i’m lost the visuals is spectacular
i think children will get turned off by these videos – a little bit too much theory and abstract graphs instead of friendly birds- but i think that’s the appeal
i have so many questions after seeing these
like does this explain why ancient sailors believed in krakens? if it’s possible naturally that your ship, in somewhat bad weather conditions, suddenly drop 30+ meters under sea level as the waters surrounding the ship suddenly sink that deep, it would be no wonder that any surviving sailors would think that a deep ocean monster pulled the ship down
the guy drops the ball at the end of the rogue wave vid and says that rogue waves can be explained through math equivalent/similar to quantum physics. that was a very weak explanation and didn’t go in detail at all, while filling visuals with lorem ipsum computer code. he then acknowledges it post-production in the video description and viewers commented that it should have been handled differently
