Should we make an Automation bonus video?
Added 2017-06-09 14:30:23 +0000 UTC
Hey Patrons – We would like your input: Should we make a bonus video about automation.
So as you might have heard on twitter, we cut about three minutes from the automation video to make it more concise.
But the parts we cut were already illustrated and animated. One of them is the clip I uploaded here.
So we also have a few more parts like that already written out. It is about more examples how jobs are currently disappearing or will disappear in the near future. (self driving cars, robot accountants, robot lawyers, robot pharmacists & doctors).
We could make a 7-8 minute video from that. But we are not sure if we should do it. It would be something like a Kurzgesagt list video – Something like „5 Sectors where machines will take over your jobs“. It will be a second video pointing toward the universal basic income video. We usually just kill stuff when we cut it from a video but in this case this feels right on the edge of it being worth its own video. It won't be the best video we ever made but it also won't suck (at least I hope so).
What are the downsides?
1. The video might not be good and people are disappointed.
2. This will delay the Basic income video by 3-5 weeks.
Do you want this video to exist?
No matter what, the next video will not be out before early/mid July. Right now we are working too on many different things at the same time. We won’t release a lot in the next two months and then a lot of stuff very close to each other (right now we have three videos that are being illustrated at the same time ). –Philipp

Definitely worth making but I'd release it around the same time as the UBI video and link to it - something like ->Wondering how Automation is already at work? See here

Yes! Please make it

Based on the clip you've shared, I would be very happy to see the bonus video. Focusing on examples of large industries where automation will have a major impact on jobs will help drive home how important it is to talk about BI
2017-06-12 08:58:08 +0000 UTC
I'd like to see the bonus video! I felt like the automation video could use more examples
2017-06-12 02:26:43 +0000 UTC
If this video is too much of the same already covered, then maybe it bores the subject more than hype up the coming basic income video? Would it be worth releasing this after the basic income vid?
2017-06-11 22:12:30 +0000 UTC
Those details sound fascinating and illustrative, pun intended. Please, if you could, let us in on the edits.
Darcy McCusker
2017-06-11 20:53:31 +0000 UTC
Yes, this sounds like an interesting video in its own right. Talking about automation in more concrete terms would make it easier for people to relate to it.
2017-06-11 17:52:25 +0000 UTC
I would like to see the bonus video. I sounds interesting.
2017-06-11 17:17:31 +0000 UTC
Hmmm - actually a tricky one. It depends on who benefits. Robotisation of pizza creation and delivery would benefit big pizza companies and release certain employees from a seriously repetitive task (I did repetitive factory work back in the 70s, when we were cheaper than robots - glad to see the back of it). However, many starter enterprises are involved in fast-food production and I wouldn't like to see them elbowed out tof the market. This is a point that could be included in the video, to help people understand that robotisation is not all bad, or indeed all-encompassing. We humans will always have a place.
2017-06-11 17:05:51 +0000 UTC
Swap it around. Make the new video in Jul about the basic income as you intended. Work on the bonus video as time permits, e.g. over the lull of the holiday season.
2017-06-11 14:26:03 +0000 UTC
Yes. Your standard is high. Every single one of your videos is extremely good by all measures. Your content quality is what makes you so successful so I bet you won't disappoint. With regards to the delay, well I don't think that there are many people who have so strict time dependencies on a content which has not yet been released. So .. by all means, do another great video
George datseris
2017-06-11 12:04:47 +0000 UTC
Do the video, we like the idea of examples like this
2017-06-11 10:42:25 +0000 UTC
JUST DO IT!
2017-06-11 09:53:03 +0000 UTC
When I think about my average friend, this video is not convincing enough, More personal arguments/examples like the pizza will do the job, or we can just make a robot to convince everybody :-/
2017-06-11 08:59:25 +0000 UTC
Really would like to see more. Automation will be a major issue and should be explained very well before going for basic income.
2017-06-11 08:01:37 +0000 UTC
100% yes. This was one of the best videos in a while, definitely release the extra material! Thanks as always.
2017-06-11 07:41:31 +0000 UTC
Absolutely! I'd love to see the bonus video, especially if much of the work is already done.

2017-06-11 05:48:48 +0000 UTC
Your videos are so amazing it would be a crime to waste the material you've already created! It may mean the next video gets delayed but it would definitely be worth the wait.

Kurzgesagt = Good
More Kurzgesagt = Better :-)
2017-06-10 13:25:47 +0000 UTC
Yes.
Or you could just take the already animated parts and release them as bonus to pareons, like the one above. You don't have to make a complete video out of it, but please don't throw away already done and awesome work :)
2017-06-10 13:22:20 +0000 UTC
I think it could be a really good idea to release it. Despite the delays for BI, having more examples of what sectors can be hit is better for a lot of people, highlighting a greater importance for our need to set up safeguards for people against automation.
2017-06-10 13:19:29 +0000 UTC
yes <3
2017-06-10 12:47:21 +0000 UTC
Definitely. Yes.

2017-06-10 10:50:44 +0000 UTC
I'm a little mixed, since I'm not sure how much more concrete examples will add, especially since there may be a lot of overlap with CGP Grey's "Humans Need Not Apply". At the same time, the general public may benefit from more concrete examples as a lot of our social discourse is still about creating new jobs, and, by extension, having people purchase goods and services they don't necessarily need. We should really be discussing how to restructure society to take advantage of our post-scarcity world.
The other argument I can see for the bonus video is that it's likely good to have one consistent work on the AI-robotics topics. This is especially so since a few of these videos seem to be part of a larger series/sci-fi vision (Automation, UBI, AI, Robot Rights). It's a little unsettling, because the Ancient Greeks(?) allegedly said that utopia was only possible with slaves and the word robot apparently means slave in Czech or Slavic. The first sci-fi story to feature the word has the robots doing all the work for the humans, then wondering why humans who do nothing should benefit from mechanical labor. The robot subsequently rebel and wipe out all the humans. It's unsettling because we seem headed in that direction.
Having a bonus video might be useful then, because it leaves an important word of caution. We think we might have utopia by navigating automation correctly, but maybe we're walking into more difficulty.
2017-06-10 10:25:27 +0000 UTC
Absolutely!
2017-06-10 10:20:47 +0000 UTC

2017-06-10 08:59:10 +0000 UTC
YES! Always yes! Like when movies come out in Director's cut or extended edition. I understand the need to cut things short and to the point for the mainstream, but here on Patreon, getting such longer cuts, even if with less cohesive, is a very welcome bonus for us.

Do eeeeeeeet !
2017-06-10 05:59:23 +0000 UTC
Speaking with a personal bias because I am really interested in this stuff, I would love to see it. it also seems like a practical thing for people to know and wrap their heads around, especially as a young person who is trying to work out how to make a sustainable career. If you don't turn it into a full video to trash the bit's you have made does still seem like a waste, like some other people here have said I'd love to just see what you've got as like a bonus video, even if you just posted it here unedited you could make bonus cuts of scrapped content an extra incentive for patreons, I'm sure most people on here would be happy to see any content even if it's not a polished video. Then again, the main Idea is communicated pretty well in the main video and just getting the concept across concisely does seem to be what you are know for, so it's hard to say.
2017-06-10 05:48:27 +0000 UTC
Yeah, I'd argue go ahead and release as is or with minor changes to make it more of its own thing. Not everything you produce has to be up to your lofty standards for story quality. I love your content for the content quality. And if you have quality content, use it, call it a bonus video :)
Ice
2017-06-10 05:03:49 +0000 UTC
Unless it provides new context...I think I personally got what I needed out of the jobs are being eaten by automation video. My vote is for new content. Perhaps you can just release the trimmed bits to us patreon folks in the future. Just like extras on Video releases.
Christopher Buteau
2017-06-10 04:42:31 +0000 UTC
Obviously we want all the content
Lines of Desire
2017-06-10 03:24:11 +0000 UTC
While I can see both sides of the argument, the "yay content" side and the "wait, don't delay some other important topics" side, I think that the time and effort that goes into kurz content means that the extra material you already have actually represents effort that has already been spent. I would rather see that effort honored by finishing it into a video than just tossing it out.
SO to offer a potential compromise to keep all happy: how about you hold onto this extra material, get the UBI video taken care of as first priority, and only work on this extra project to fill the gaps in schedule until it is also ready? :D

Please do.
2017-06-10 01:18:47 +0000 UTC
I'm with the minority of patrons in thinking that you shouldn't focus on a bonus video if it means delaying a main one. I know that almost everyone here are saying you should do it and I would love to see that too, but we are not the ones you should be trying to gain on your field, we already love you and I think is a little risky to not give the prime product to the world. Anyway those are my two cents, I know you would be fine anyway, YOU ROCK
2017-06-10 01:14:22 +0000 UTC
Let's move on to the basic income video :)
2017-06-10 01:13:15 +0000 UTC
I have had issues convincing people this is a problem. The counter argument is always that this has happened before and automation will create new jobs. I would love to have more examples to point to that this is not the case. Please complete and post your content so I can link people to it!
2017-06-10 00:58:09 +0000 UTC
Yay!

2017-06-09 21:54:41 +0000 UTC
i don't need the bonus video if it means delaying other content,
2017-06-09 21:49:55 +0000 UTC
Please do :D, even without audio i love looking at your animations/graphics so I would even be ok with a half baked video. Kind of a "behind the polish view of Kurzgesagt" :D
2017-06-09 21:34:52 +0000 UTC
Please do!
Devon Kersten
2017-06-09 21:28:34 +0000 UTC

2017-06-09 21:26:13 +0000 UTC
Yes
2017-06-09 21:21:25 +0000 UTC
Absolutely. All the stuff you guys do is good. This is a very serious topic and deserves treatment by great animators like yourselves. I view this as useful supplemental material to go along with the main line video. This will help complete the chapter on this topic. Then go work on UBI :)
Frank Sydnor
2017-06-09 21:10:32 +0000 UTC
I want to see the Bonus video, especially if it's pretty much already made. BONUS, BONUS, BONUS! Looking forward to the UBI video too.
2017-06-09 21:09:30 +0000 UTC
Yes, but maybe not at the expense of the UBI video. The thing that concerned me most about the last video was how incredibly ill-prepared our societal thinking is for this. With the amount of power the political right holds in America at present and their views on safety nets and welfare we desperately need to be having the UBI discussion and be getting our heads around it as quickly as possible. I tend to use these videos as a good way to start conversations on this with people on the political right (and others) so the sooner the UBI video is out the quicker I, and many other people, can talk about possible solutions to this very quickly impending problem.
2017-06-09 20:52:54 +0000 UTC
Yes, being an independent investment advisor I'm particularly interested in how adaptive learning technology could supplement (or replace) professions in my industry.
Also, I'm very interested in your upcoming video on universal basic income (UBI). Keep up the hard/good work Team K (I never spell it correctly).

2017-06-09 20:05:35 +0000 UTC
I think an examples video would be fantastic! It is really powerful to be able to point to specific examples when discussing with people who don't see how imminent this is!
2017-06-09 20:03:53 +0000 UTC
No, there is no need for this additional video. It would only increase the fear of people who already are anxious about the increasingly technological nature of services and loosing their job to robots.
2017-06-09 19:38:29 +0000 UTC
Personally I'd say no. You covered the subject well, and making another might just be content for contents sake. Unless this new video has new points, I'd say just skip it and move on
2017-06-09 19:02:53 +0000 UTC
Hello! I'm going to have to disagree with the majority. I loved the concise video you made, and would rather your team spend their time on the UBI video!

Jose Schroeder
2017-06-09 17:10:45 +0000 UTC
I would like to see it. It would be interesting to see some examples that I, or other viewers, would not have thought of, like the pizza truck that by the way should totally become a thing.
2017-06-09 17:00:08 +0000 UTC
Honestly, I feel like you shouldn't make it if it's "just a list video."
What makes your content some of the best around isn't just the fantastic animation, or the in depth information, or the easy-to-listen-to voice narration, rather, it's your ability to tie all this information into a single narrative which reads like a story—setting the scene to demonstrate why the topic is interesting, starting from the beginning to show what things were like, then following the events to their final form, concluding with a takeaway that gently brings the viewer back to reality in a way that demonstrates how they can be an important part of the story to.
If you can tie these extra ideas into one such cohesive narrative, then yes, please do make the bonus video. However, I, personally, would prefer to see the relationship between your examples which are greater than just the overall theme of "how automation will progress."
Either way, you have me as a more than loyal viewer. I will happily watch, like, and share any and every video you post. I have complete faith in your ability to make the absolute best list video ever, because you already make some of the absolute best videos on the internet.
tl;dr No, please don't make a list video, but if your gut feeling is that this could be a worthwhile endeavor, please do make it. 🙂

2017-06-09 16:54:16 +0000 UTC
I like it because I'm a Fan but I believe its not like the rest of the videos in a sense of quality and things learned. Cause we always enjoy and learn with Kurzgesagt.
2017-06-09 16:53:40 +0000 UTC
I'd like to see it!
2017-06-09 16:53:21 +0000 UTC
I'd rather have the basic income one not delayed. Maybe these cuts can be reused for the future.
Raul Martin Lesma
2017-06-09 16:44:59 +0000 UTC
I'm fascinated to no end by this subject, which makes me want to say yes, but if you're at all on the fence - kill the thing and move on. It's the riskier, more painful choice, and you guys have never seemed risk averse in the past. It's a long time to work on a video you don't LOVE.
2017-06-09 16:43:27 +0000 UTC
listicles are insanely popular and could draw a lot of attention to the original video/ your channel. I think you deserve this!
Uwe
2017-06-09 16:40:51 +0000 UTC
I think it's a good idea but it should be posted as a bonus video, in a sense that states clearly that this is different then the ones you usually make.
2017-06-09 16:40:02 +0000 UTC
The original video was good, but I would love to see a Basic Income video .

Nah, I don't need it
2017-06-09 16:36:23 +0000 UTC
No. I only like examples if they're real-world. Use the time to put meaningful statistics from the present and past into new videos, not startup pitches
2017-06-09 16:29:40 +0000 UTC
I trust your judgment on that. You had your reasons to cut them out in the first place. If it fits into your workflow and you create something you are satisfied with, then do it. But if you rather use the momentum to do the next video, leave it on the cutting floor. You might recycle some of it in the next video or use it later. I wouldn't be surprised if some possible extra material pops up, while you do the basic income movie. Maybe you can finish the series with a conclusion video, where you can use the stuff.
Michael Gehrmann
2017-06-09 16:28:53 +0000 UTC
No, it's not worth the delay on other videos.
Furthermore I thought the examples in the video (and the clip posted here) were rather weak (by necessity) because of how short and general they were. They sounded more like the pitch of an ambitious silicon valley startup, and sound kinda idealizated compared to the probable actual quality. So I wouldn't like an example-only video

I would also like to add my 'yes' to this discussion. But will there be a counter point video on how certain job types and processes are not reliably place by machines/automation?
Blake Isaac Gordon
2017-06-09 16:25:10 +0000 UTC
Yes please! It sounds worthwhile. I'm sure it will be up to par. This is an important topic!

Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell
2017-06-09 16:20:16 +0000 UTC
First I just want to say thank you all for hard working and sharing interesting contents for the entire internet. Personally I don't think it is necessary to add any further examples, especially at the cost of delaying more important ideas such as UBI. But this can also be just my own opinion, as someone who is working in the area of ML...
2017-06-09 16:14:58 +0000 UTC
Yes please I would love to see that

Lorenzo Gentile
2017-06-09 16:02:45 +0000 UTC
One way to get out of the quality vs. additional work conundrum: open a "Deleted scenes" playlist, with some prominent caveat "These are unfinished rushes / checkout our official stuff <here> and <there>".</there></here>
2017-06-09 16:01:54 +0000 UTC
Considering how long creating each minute must take, the Patreon hardcore are more likely to vote for a yes to the original question, as I'm sure many appreciate the content of any release however large or small. However, this particular topic is very much something I'd like to see more of, and relevant enough to a lot of the wider public too who'd also get to see the cut content fixed up. So I say "yes please".

Yes, please! Thanks for all your hard work!!
2017-06-09 15:43:25 +0000 UTC
I would definitely watch it and not be disappointed. Take your time on the basic income video.
2017-06-09 15:41:36 +0000 UTC
Yes please! =)
2017-06-09 15:40:45 +0000 UTC
One word. YES! Here's why. I don't think the overwhelming majority of people realize how close a lot of these technologies are and how impactful they will be. In short, it's not "REAL" to them. They think this automation is something that is in the distant "sci-fi" future when in reality with the advances in AI it really is on our doorstep.
Please do.
2017-06-09 15:40:28 +0000 UTC
Yes, examples are great!
2017-06-09 15:40:21 +0000 UTC
Yes !
2017-06-09 15:39:37 +0000 UTC

I would love to watch a part two!
2017-06-09 15:37:26 +0000 UTC
Definitely publish the bonus footage. The pizza delivery example reminds me of Hiro from Snow Crash.

Claus Appel

Of course! I can't get enough of you guys. Love your content!
Ahmed Mian
2017-06-09 15:30:40 +0000 UTC
I mean, have you ever delivered pizzas? For one, pretending you can predict travel times down to the minute might work if you're the only car in the road, but that's what would be needed.
People get their addresses wrong all the time. All the time. They forget the compass ordinals, whether it's "Olive Street" or "Olive Way".
And then when you get there, they don't come to the door. Or they forgot to give you an apartment number. Or they're just not answering the phone.
Then they complain about the order being wrong. Or the wrong size. Or they wanted cokes, or cheesy bread. Or their drunk and nobody can find a wallet.
So yeah, love you guys, but to-the-minute algorithmic predictions of delivery times is a little too "Snow Crash".
2017-06-09 15:25:07 +0000 UTC
I know I belong to the minority but I vote no. I think the original video is pretty complete. Also, I look forward to the video about basic income video.
P.S. : Interestingly enough basic income can be intimately related with automation as the channel "The Rest Of Us" points in this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEkT14RBzDI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEkT14RBzDI</a>

Thorben Menne
2017-06-09 15:24:14 +0000 UTC
Definitely! I think it's important to illustrate the issues of automation en detail before going to the basic income, because IMHO the automation is the best reason for a universal basic income. Go for it!

Yes, please!
2017-06-09 15:21:07 +0000 UTC
As much as I would like to see the basic income video as soon as possible, I say yes!
It would further demonstrate how much technology can do for us and potentially convince some people that there is a way to create a world in which work, as we currently define it, is non-existant.
2017-06-09 15:21:00 +0000 UTC
Yes, definitely!
2017-06-09 15:18:45 +0000 UTC
Yes, of course!

Go for it...!
Carlos A Carreno
2017-06-09 15:15:28 +0000 UTC
I think doing an video with examples will indeed make it easier for people to understand how much of an impact the automation this time around will have on the world
2017-06-09 15:13:24 +0000 UTC
BTW - It might be to your credit, but the "robot pizza" example suggests that not many of your staff have spent much time working in pizza restaurants.
2017-06-09 15:12:58 +0000 UTC
The whole automation video was nice but feels incomplete because I didn't see the danger at all and am really more curious about the solutions that definitely exist (like the universal basic income).
So even though I'm always curious about what you guys do and any build-up to the basic income video is a great idea, I'd personally vote no.
I know which sectors can be affected - and also I think CGP Grey already did something like this with his video Humans need not apply.
So no : I want to see the basic income video as soon as possible :)
Nicolas Berube
2017-06-09 15:11:52 +0000 UTC
I'm all for more videos, but you do not want to delay the basic income video.
That's the real heart of this question. Providing (somewhat silly) "robot pizza" video extras isn't worth being late to the MBI conversation.
2017-06-09 15:10:39 +0000 UTC
it sounds good to have some more specific examples to put the topic in perspective
2017-06-09 15:10:00 +0000 UTC
Yeah! Sounds lovely
2017-06-09 15:09:18 +0000 UTC
Yes!
2017-06-09 15:09:12 +0000 UTC
I like the idea of having a "Director's Cut" of each video. If there's any way you can save workload by creating them simultaneously, that would be ideal. Maybe a second channel for the 'less trimmed / more dry' videos with the additional content?
TL;DR: Yes! I'd love to see it!
2017-06-09 15:09:02 +0000 UTC
Yes, you should!
2017-06-09 15:08:51 +0000 UTC
Good point, I really should have asked differently! There are two risks involved here: 1. The video might not be very good and people are disappointed. 2. It will delay the basic income video by 3-4 weeks.
Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell
2017-06-09 15:07:48 +0000 UTC
Yes please! Especially since a good part of the work is done
2017-06-09 15:07:48 +0000 UTC
Definitely!
2017-06-09 15:06:08 +0000 UTC
Yes, yes, yes!
Daniel Friesen
2017-06-09 15:04:54 +0000 UTC
Yes, I liked the video but at least for me it feels like some concrete examples of jobs that could be done by machines would even further help me understand on what scale automation will affect us.
2017-06-09 15:04:45 +0000 UTC
Yes please
CJ Winslow

I find this topic fascinating, so I'd love to see more examples! It's amazing to think that these are changes that will not only happen in our lifetime, but in only a few short years.
2017-06-09 15:02:21 +0000 UTC
Yes! In my opinion the deeper you go into the matter, the more interesting it gets. So I think a standalone video explaining in detail some of the examples is a great idea. And it leads perfectly to the subject of universal basic income.
2017-06-09 15:01:25 +0000 UTC
Please do. The automation video was very enjoyable and any more on the subject is welcome. I'm especially excited for the follow up video mentioned at the end!

2017-06-09 15:00:00 +0000 UTC
Absolutely! Would love to see more information on the topic.
2017-06-09 14:58:48 +0000 UTC
If it's not to overwhelming for you guys then please do it!
2017-06-09 14:58:22 +0000 UTC
I would vote yes. I assume you have seen the CGP Grey video on this topic? His was good, but there is new info since, and it could use an update. If anyone can do a better job than Grey, it is Kurzgesagt!
Patrick W. Gilmore
2017-06-09 14:57:08 +0000 UTC
My first instinct was "the more the better from these guys!" However, once I got over that instinctive reaction, I started to think... that automation video was perfect. It described things in enough detail to make a good point, and provided references for those who might want to get more in-depth. It's exactly what I would expect from the quality-over-quantity bias that the Kurzgesagt authors have. At this point I thought... no, let's not cheapen Kurzgesagt with lower quality content.
Now that I've seen the example clip I realize that even "lower" quality from these guys is still amazing. I think an automation list show would add a lot to the discussion, especially if there were references for folks wishing to learn even more.
Steve Bonds
2017-06-09 14:55:53 +0000 UTC
Yes Please.
2017-06-09 14:55:14 +0000 UTC
The way in which you asked this question is going to guarantee that no one will object. Instead, you should ask if its worth spending time on this versus spending time on another video about X subject. With the expectation that the latter would be held off or not done. Basically, what are we giving up by voting in favor of this?
Andres Rodriguez
2017-06-09 14:55:07 +0000 UTC

2017-06-09 14:54:13 +0000 UTC
Sounds good, but if you do autonomous cars, please actually do some research into which companies are actually bringing something to the table vs which companies are just strutting peacocks before talking about them. Most videos covering this don't.

2017-06-09 14:49:21 +0000 UTC
Sorry, didn't think when I hit carriage return... Today, we are living smack in the middle of an age where robotics is rapidly transforming our daily activities. However, it's no different than any other form of competition. For those who make their livings doing activities that are likely to be done more "efficiently" (whatever that means) by a robot, they are probably feeling great unease. For those who make their livings doing things that have a perceived value to others and where robotics cannot (at least right now) step in, they are enjoying the fruits of the robotic revolution. Will be interesting to see how Kurzgesagt could describe that without being too melodramatic ("heat death of the universe" comes to mind %^).

As with everyone else here, an emphatic yes!
Dawson
2017-06-09 14:41:57 +0000 UTC
Robotics are neither good nor bad. It's how people apply them to solutions. Using machines to do work that used to be only capable by humans has been going on since before the printing press.
Jon Adams
2017-06-09 14:41:25 +0000 UTC
Unequivocally yes.
2017-06-09 14:41:22 +0000 UTC
YES! everything you do, I think, should not be tossed away especially when those cut parts already create a bigger whole and already are animated. <3 :)

2017-06-09 14:39:43 +0000 UTC
It would be a shame if you just throw your hard work away. An extra video about the video subject is surely interesting for (at least) some peoples. (Including me!)

You definitely should .
Lilly
2017-06-09 14:38:38 +0000 UTC
Kind of. We are trying to do that with the basic income video. But this is more and more evolving into the value of human work and time, or what makes a human worth something. Personally I think without big societal changes automation will not turn out great for the majority of people. So many different thoughts on this...

Andrew Wrangell Music
2017-06-09 14:38:20 +0000 UTC
I see that the trend is toward yes. I'm sort of a qualified maybe. Yes, if you feel that doing this would meet your standards and not distract from the main story you're telling. No if not - more is not always better and overemphasizing a point isn't the best pedagogy.

More is better. If you required every video to be your best yet, we wouldn't get to watch as many!
2017-06-09 14:37:52 +0000 UTC
Yeesss!!! Was wanting to hear more on this 😁

Hell yeah
2017-06-09 14:37:45 +0000 UTC

Yea
2017-06-09 14:37:41 +0000 UTC
Bring it on. The more people understand the reality of automation, the better.

That would be great. Just to be clear. You are still making a 'good side of automation' video right?

Hell yeah! And I want Pizza now :D
2017-06-09 14:36:39 +0000 UTC
I vote yay. More relevant than planet videos in my opinion.
2017-06-09 14:36:24 +0000 UTC
Yeah more is better😁

Do it.

2017-06-09 14:36:08 +0000 UTC
YES! Just be as transparent as you are here about it being stuff cut from the other video and I'm sure people will enjoy it
2017-06-09 14:35:56 +0000 UTC
Do it!
2017-06-09 14:35:34 +0000 UTC
Yes please!
2017-06-09 14:35:14 +0000 UTC
Definitely!
2017-06-09 14:35:09 +0000 UTC
Yes, that sounds awesome
2017-06-09 14:34:52 +0000 UTC

Definitely. After you guys work so hard on making those animations and scripts, killing them entirely seems wasteful. If they don't fit on the main channel, they could definitely fit on a second channel maybe

Yes please
