Unpleasant News

Dear Patrons,

Hi! I'm Philipp and founded Kurzgesagt five years ago. I write most of our scripts and choose our topics.

I want to let you know that there will be a drop in the frequency of videos in the next few months because I have cancer. Starting today I’ll be on leave for 3-5 months to deal with it. Hopefully it will be over after that.

We have a few things in the pipeline so at least for the next few weeks we should upload as much as usual. After that videos will be released as we finish them. It is impossible to say what exactly this means right now but we'll try to keep our pace if possible. 

Thank you for supporting Kurzgesagt and the ideas it stands for. And sorry for beginning the week with news like that. 

-Philipp

Terrible news! Our thoughts are with you. I can't imagine that YouTubing has great healthcare, but maybe you have universal healthcare? I hope so! Hope you get well very soon, experience minimal side effects, and go into extended remission!

My most sincere wishes of good health to you Philipp.

Enrico Cuoghi

Take all the time you need, videos can wait, your health is the most important issue. I wish you all the best!!!

Lenka Weingartová

Hi Philipp, I do hope you get better soon. My thoughts are with you. The most important thing you can do is look after yourself and concentrate on your health. It'll all still be here when you're recovered☺️. I was my mum's primary carer when she had cancer so I can relate to what you are and will be going through. If it helps, even though in my mother's case she was terminal, mum kept going with her part-time masters degree - successfully completing. It doesn't stop life - it just makes you re-organise it. Best wishes and lots of love.

Gabrielle Cochrane

Hi Philipp, I hope you can take your time to recover and get well. I really like to thank you for Kurzgesagt, it is a great project with a lot of great content that helps many people around the world. I wish you the best and hope you can get back soon.

Facundo

I'm like everyone else sorry for you Phillip. I hope that It can be treated and that we will get back on our 2-week cycle. But, I also want to point out that we are all fine with the drop of Kurzgesagt videos because quality>quantity, and we can't have you making videos when you are sick. So we all hope that you get better. Remember, cancer is also another living entity that puts it's survival over yours.

Clayton Ackroyd

What Eduardo said. Health first.

JAMES PAUL ALLEN

Hey Phillip, no need to worry about uploading videos for now, kicking cancer's ass is more important! Wish you well.

Eduardo

Hoffentlich eine heilbare Form... Alles Gute, du hast jetzt schon mit kurzgesagt so viel positives in die Welt gesetzt, hoffentlich sehen wir in Zukunft noch mehr. Wünsche dir das Beste!

Tobias Haase

Take care of you, we need your magic ! ;)

Olivier Marschalik

I wish you a quick recovery.

Michael A. from France

Lot of courage...

Fabrice Tardioli

Very sad news - I was laways happy to receive emails from Kurz as it meant always nice stuff to learn, positive messages and colourful animation but this time it was different. Of course, I wish you all the best, hoping that it's a form and a type of cancer for which the treatments are efficient and not too painful.

Fabrice Tardioli

I'm sorry to hear this. Focus on your recovery. I love your videos, all the passion and creativity you put on it. As a life scientist, sometimes it is difficult to transmit concepts like evolution or antibiotic resistance. Your videos have been of great help in that. Now, focus on your recovery. Success.

Gonzalo

Sorry to hear that Philipp, kick cancer's ass! Best wishes from Canada!

I'm very sorry to hear this and hope you recover stronger than ever. I think Kurzesagt is such a great series, and one that is so important. Thank you so much for putting this great series together, and I'll continue to make sure others check it out for the creativity in its art, strength in its message, wisdom in its voice, and the overall fun and honesty it brings to educational entertainment.

Foxfire

I would hope though that with all your contacts and the expertise that surrounds you, that you find the absolute best way through your journey ahead! Let all your patrons know how we can help!

Colin Sylvester

Wish you a sweep recovery. Thanks for everything. Please concentrate on your health. We can wait. Every one who can't understand that is a jerk. Do you live in America? If yes please tell the community if you have problems with covering health bills. God knows how dreadful health coverage is there....

Seokjun Kim

Christopher Nutt

ap

Thank you for all that you have done, for your brave transparency and all that you will do when you get back. Our whole family sends you a big mental get healthy hug. Maybe you can do a video on how how cancer therapy has evolved over time? Take the time you need we are not going away.

jessica feinleib

This saddens me. I hope you recover fully and soon from this, Philipp. I want to also tell you that your videos quite literally saved my life. Your video on Optimistic Nihilism came at a very dark time in my life when I was seriously questioning my place in the universe. I had just come to the conclusion that there likely is no god, and your video inspired me to define my own life and give my own life meaning. Know that your videos and words do more than you might think they do. Please take care of yourself. Your work is more than a YouTube channel to me, and I want you to remember that. Thank you for continuing to produce content through this, even in a trying time like this.

Amberlee Swiftarrow

Get well soon, Philipp, and best wishes to your full recovery. My 6 yr old daughter loves your videos and will ask to watch them (along with Ted-Ed) on the daily car rides to school. I currently have DNA base pairs and CAS9 protein drawn on my foot by her with a ball-point pen thanks to Kurzgesagt videos (don't ask). We've always enjoyed what you've created.

Curtis

Take care and stay positive, Philip. We look forward to having you back soon.

Dire Wolf

Take care Philipp! Now I see why most of the videos were so focused in existential crisis. Your work guys made history already!

j. d.

Take care, Philipp. Rest easy; the Internet will be just fine, while you recover. Don't spend your energy worrying about us. We'll be thinking of you.

Josh Ventura

Sad news indeed, please take care Philipp. And as many said before, take the time you need (and more) we can wait

Leon

Sad news. :/ Take care of your health Philipp and don't get stressed about the pace. We can wait.

Eric Ziegast

Dont worry about the videos, focus on your health, mate. Hope you get better soon, much love from Central America.

Rodrigo Cornejo

Stay strong man! Take all the time you need.

Boris Dimitrov

Philipp, I love your work - the videos are so wonderfully relevant. They express where are are in our time; they encapsulate many of the cultural and intellectual constructs that our generation grapples with. You and your team are brilliant! I wish you well in your recovery. All my best, Bec

So sorry to hear that Philipp. I just became a patreon a few minutes ago to show my support for the channel and all the great things that it's doing. Rootin' for you, bud.

That truly is unpleasantness news! I hope you will be well and back soon, you are doing important work that affects how millions of people think about the world and everything.

Jeetix

Such rotten news, Philipp. Sadly the statistical threat of cancer is one we all share, no matter who you are or what you've given the world (and I consider these videos to be great gifts to us all). I hope modern science is able to deliver you to swift remission. Your fans will be here when you return, excited for more Kurzgesagt!

Jeremy Bilas

I hope that the wonders of modern medicine are able to help you! Wishing you an effective treatment! Don't push yourself too hard.

Brandon High @bh@pdx.sh

Yours is one of the best channels on Youtube. Thank you so much for creating the most amazing videos I've ever seen. I hope you make a full recovery soon. Sending internet hugs your way. Take care and good luck, Philipp!

C A

Thank you so much for Kurzgesagt, Philipp, and for letting us know about your situation. Do what it takes to give yourself the best shot at beating it. Stay positive and as healthy as possible to give yourself the best prognosis. It's been a bit over three years since I was diagnosed (at 37) with leukemia, received chemo, full-body radiation, and a stem-cell transplant. I'm doing well and still in remission. It's not an easy road, but certainly an interesting and worthwhile one that has given me a different perspective on life, as well as a lot of love and support from family and friends. Good luck. I will be hoping for good news from you in 6+ months!

Ryan Patridge

Hang in there

Jona Derks

Hang in there!!!! Lots of energy coming your way.

anthony maffia, iii

Oh Phillipp. Not that it will physically help, but sending lots of iove and hugs. Also wishing you a full recovery..Take care of yourself at this time. Xx

Jennie Sapherson

I'm sorry to hear that Phillip! A friend of mine suffered breast cancer last year and it turned her life upside down. One thing that did help with the healing process, was Reiki. I've done Reiki training at levels 1 and 2, and trust me, it does work. You'll also find that there are many hospitals across the world that allow volunteer Reiki practitioners to help heal patients, because they've discovered that the patients recover quicker (and it allows the patient to leave the hospital quicker). As you know from Quantum Physics, we are all energy. All these electromagnetic fields around us are causing the health issues in the body (and mind) that we're witnessing a massive increase in the past 100 years. As they're interfering with our natural energy fields - unbalancing the energy field results in unbalancing the physical body because it is the energy. Even the Earth has a magnetic field that we've damaged and artificially corrected. You're a smart guy! Open your mind and do the research. If in doubt, ask for help and they'll respond.

Aaron Bradford

We love you Philipp. Wishing you a full recovery.

Oktay Caglar

So sad at reading the bad news. I hope that this hard time that was put in front of you ends up with you being stronger and wiser. I send to you my best wishes and thoughts. Thanks for all the content you gave us and looking forward the best of it that is yet to come.

Max Sterling

Shit, I'm so sorry to hear that Philipp. You've given so much to the world, you truly deserve this to go as well as possible. So many people these days push through it, but no matter how hard this next 6 months is just know you've got a huge number of people wanting the best for you.

Brentwahn

I am so sorry to hear this. I have lost my father and a few friends to cancer, and I wish this to no one in the world. I hope you stay strong and kick that cancer in the ass. My thoughts are with you Philipp.

Hugo Jackson

Best wishes, Philipp. You are such an incredible source of knowledge and positivity in this world, and I'll be thinking of you often in your recovery.

Waltimus Prime

The inconvenience of no videos pales in comparison to hearing that someone who has brought so much entertainment, knowledge and joy is ill. Unpleasant news indeed. All our hopes go with you.

Devin Harris

All the best! We all hope for your cure and speedy recovery!

CJ Canton

Philipp, how humble of you to ask for forgiveness in your situation. There's really no need to apologize. Please take the time to heal peacefully, knowing you've already given us so much that we have no right to complain about anything. Wishing you full recovery!

Eliad Levy

I wish you the best in this battle. I believe in the project, please take any time you need.

Luis Esteban

All the best in your battle, Philipp. You take the time you need, and don't worry about anything else. Thank you for starting this channel, putting together a great team and putting out such great content for so long.

Scott Smith

Wow, thanks for the honesty and open communication. I hope the rest of us agrees, we're all here for you sending you energy and strength. I know science does more than hopes and prayers, but know that I'll be thinking of you and sending you good vibes! The team has been such an amazing discovery for me, I love learning from you guys. I'll wait as long as is needed until you are well again. Much love!!

Bummer. We all think to ourselves, I will never get X, where X is some serious, life-threatening condition. I hope the first batch of treatments kick that s--- out of the house.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Please remember, throughout the ordeal, you're about to go through, that you have many fans and friends rooting for you and supporting you. This is a talk done by one of my favourite creators about his journey with cancer, hopefully, it can help you through yours. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dx0W0s9s2Q" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dx0W0s9s2Q</a>

Freya Northman

Good luck! I hope you get better soon! I love your videos and they're very helpful during my GCSE year!

Matthew Cartwright

Thank you for everything and take care of yourself now. I hope you a smooth recovery!

Kimberly Anastácio

Felt like I couldn't leave without showing my support. Kurzgesagt to me feels like a bright shining light in a world that desperately needs it. I am sure the founder of a production with such an inspiring and hopeful message won't have a hard time staying strong, but if it is getting tough I hope you read these comments and are reassured that the needful world shines back when you need it.

Matthew Hall

Good luck, and thank you for giving us all the wonderful content so far. All the best.

Paul Rozs

Hope for your swift recovery and best wishes!

Mark Radford

I wish you a speedy recovery

CastironWhisky

Hallo Philipp, das sind wirklich schlechte Neuigkeiten. In meiner Familie habe ich 2 (ehemalige) Krebspatienten und weiß daher aus erster Hand, dass dir ein langer und anstrengender Kampf bevorsteht. Das der Kurzgesagt-Kanal jetzt ruhen muss ist vollkommen verständlich und dass jetzt weniger Videos gepostet werden ist völlig bedeutungslos im Vergleich mit deiner Gesundheit. Ich wünsche dir sehr gute Besserung und viel Durchhaltevermögen. PS: Wenn du finanzielle Hilfe für die Behandlung benötigst, hast du mit 11'000 Patreons die ideale Basis. Ich jedenfalls würde bei einem einmaligen Crowd-Funding einiges springen lassen.

Michael Rück

So sorry to hear this. But as Steven Pinker says, now is the best possible time to be alive. In the fight against cancer this is most certainly true. All the best to you.

RoseAnne

I'm sorry about the diagnosis. I wish you good luck in journey ahead. It is a fight, but it can be won. Take care Philipp.

David L-F

Oh no! Take all the time you need, our thoughts are with you!

Kendall Hunter

Thank you so much for an incredibly entertaining series. You are awesome.

It takes courage to tell us this bad news. I wish you good luck for what is coming ahead and take the time you need to beat this <3

Jeanne Joachim

I hope your road to recovery is a great one, Phillipp. The contributions you've made to help the world suck just a little less with these videos is very much appreciated by your audience including myself. Take as much as you need to heal, we'll be here when you return 🙏🏾

Mugen

Get well soon.

Smith Mark

Hope you have a speedy recovery

Ken Arroyo Ohori

Very sorry to hear this Philipp. I hope you will be well soon and that we will all benefit from you going back to what you most. In the meantime, take care of yourself, and take all the time that you need. Best of luck in the days ahead. Thank you for your wonderful work and beautiful ideas.

Adrian Rădulescu

We'll be here when you come back. Take care of yourself and your family first.

Madison Kelly

The support continues—glad you're taking the time to take care of yourself! Here's to beating that dumb cancer.

Philipp, Obviously you have a long road ahead of you. I wish you the best on your treatment and hopeful recovery. Know that you and your team have done a phenomenal job creating some of the best explainer/research videos that have opened up complex subjects to easy discussion among my friends and family. I will always appreciate your work, and I wish you all the best that you'll be able to return to it as you are able. Good luck, and thank you for what you've taught us!

Patrick Kenna

So sorry to hear that Philipp <3 Get better speedily

Lisa Falzon

Very sorry to hear that. We wish you all the best! Get well soon!

phoenix

Dear Philipp, Very sorry to hear that my friend. Keep your head up and our thoughts is with you.

Khaled I. Johari

I'll sum it up for you without the video. IT'S MIND OVER MATER ALWAYS AND ALL WAYS. The sleeping mind that believes it's a body needs crutches (treatments) to restore itself to health, if it so chooses. That's why I tend to lobby for less violent/guilt-stricken ones. Willingness is the factor that calls upon God's Power and usurps the laws of physics with no order of difficulty. PERCEIVE LOVINGLY AND FORM WILL ADAPT. LET GO OF GRIEVANCES: THE SORUCE OF SICKNESS. Peace!

eric haddad

This is terrible news. Like everyone else, I wish you a speedy and complete recovery. My guess is that your obviously logical mind, calm & clear judgement, trust in science (medical & other), and all your other traits which have made literally millions of people listen and watch whatever you publish will help you through this troubling time. I shan't be changing my Patreonage, even if your videos drop in frequency. Focus on getting better, we are in this with you for the long term. Let us know if we can do anything else to support you & the Kurzgesagt team during this stressful but hopefully brief time of trouble. Because there is good science around feeling supported and having a good outlook correlating with health & fighting disease, perhaps the millions of subscribers and supporters wishing you well will help you heal.

Patrick W. Gilmore

Terrible news, but I'm glad you shared it. I'm happy to continue supporting you here!

Sabiryth

Please be well Philipp! You've done so much good and you deserve to live a long and healthy life. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. <3

I'm really sorry to hear this. Please take your time to fight cancer and don't overwork yourself trying to keep up the schedule. The Kurzgesagt videos are fantastic, but your life and well being are way more important.

Setcab

Very sorry to hear this. Keep your head up and focus on recovery!

Chris Bredesen

So sorry to hear this! Sending the best of healthy vibes!

Benjamin Degenhart

I'm sorry to hear this. The important thing for you to do is take care of #1. I'm looking forward to more videos once you're well.

Eric Marsh

I'm so sad to hear this. I hope you'll find the strength to go through the next months.

Federico Cavaletto

Damn, Philipp :( focus every Joule of energy on beating cancer's butt, we'll be here to welcome you back when you're done, ok? All the best to you!

Nuno Tiago

No need do apologize, all you need to do is take care of yourself!

Wish you the best and hope you can recover quickly

Rangachari Anand

My prayers are with you Philipp! As a cancer survivor, and having taken care of my mother who lost her battle with cancer, I impart to you that fighting cancer is a full-time job. Stay positive and keep fighting - you will triumph!

Tina

Best wishes, Phillip. Take care of yourself, don't worry about us. <3

Jesso Ossej

Perhaps a video on the efficacy of natural treatments? We would be fascinated to hear what you learn about medical science on your journey.

Andrew Blikken

Really sorry to hear that man. Thank you so much for your work over the years, you've inspired the inner scientist in my little sister and I more than school ever could. Take as much time for yourself as you need brother <3

Jonah Larsen

Dont apologize for something thats not your fault, but thank you for letting us know <3 hope you get better soon.

ANON

Sending positive vibes your way, Philipp! Kick cancer's ass!

The Awesomer

Get better, Philipp! You can beat this thing!

Doktor Andy

I would be willing to help!

Dave Langlinais

I've been fighting a rare form of Stage 4 liver cancer for nearly two years now, and Kurzgesagt has helped inform my perspectives on a lot of things while I go through treatment. I've made it this long by listening to good doctors, staying positive, and writing jokes about it (decample.tumblr.com if anyone's interested, no asks for $ or anything, promise). Everyone's battle is personalized, here's hoping you find what's most successful for you. Cheers.

Matt DeCample

Good luck, man. We're all pulling for ya!

Dave Langlinais

Good luck and come back soon

Claude Semay

The trials and tribulations of being organic. We care about you and look forward to your recovery, Philipp.

Mark Dowman

Philip, try the natural path before Chemo. There is specific honey from bees that has been proven to work for many Cancers. Also, buy the book the Presence Process by Michael Brown and do the 10 week daily exercises. He healed himself from a rare disease with this technique. Blessings on your path, brother!

eric haddad

Can we fund the treatment somewhere? :) I wish you to get better and overcome it! Stay strong.

Tomáš Hejlek

Really sorry to hear that. Take it easy and look after yourself, content can wait. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

That's an awfully sad message Philipp. In that light everything else becomes so irrelevant. I wish you lots of strength and a complete recovery.

Taco Nieuwenhuis

Im soo sorry to hear!! LIFE > CONTENT. As others have said, take it easy and recover soon!

Mauro Ferrantelli

I wish you all the best and quick recovery! It is great that you are getting treatment and your health is certainly more important! They say, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." So when you do get better and come back, it'll mean that much more. Know that we are keeping you in our thoughts--especially as we look at our 12,018 calendars everyday! <3

Super Denden

Best wishes for a speedy recover!!

Mason Du

I joined Patreon/Kursgezagt only 2-3 days ago but have enjoyed the videos on YouTube for a longer period already. They are incredible. Non the less, I don't have to stress that it's paramount to take care of yourself. Incredibly sad to hear about the news. I wish you all the best and strength to you and the people around you these months.

Valentijn van den Hout

Whoah. So sorry to hear. All the best for the fight ahead! Kurzgeagt is and has been a great joy for me ever since I discovered it. The talent, curiosity and originality of you and your team is just wonderful.

Tuomas Silverang

Increased my patronage amount. Don’t worry about the content. As others have said, take it easy.

Please, don't worry about the channel and the videos. Keep your energy for the treatment and your time for your family. Go kick that cancer's ass. Here, your fans will be waiting.

Cristian Navarro Parraguez

Gute Besserung :(

Janik

So sad to hear the news. Kurzgesagt has been such an important part of my life the last five years it’s hard to explain the positive impact it’s had on me personally. The impact your creativity has had thus far is immeasurable. Best of luck in the fight, you got this!

I, and all the people I know who watch and enjoy your work, wish you all the best and hope you'll be back to continue to enlighten our lives with knowledge and insight in the not-too-distant future. Thanks also to any local support you have helping you through this.

Oh fuck... I'll be blunt, I don't give a shit about the impact it will have on the videos. Take as much time as you need and be with the people you want to be with. I will continue to support you and hope for the best to happen to you.

MightyChicken

First i dont think that his idea behind this post was to be met by a wace of ppl telling him that you are sorry. I think it was merely a way to inform us that there will be a drop in frequency of videos posted. Also and i very much hope this to be the case, there are fortunately many types of cancer that can be cured as of today, so at least lets wish him a type of curable cancer, that is then ideed cured. I wish you best of luck and a swift recovery

Alessandro Medori

Please enter your name

Philipp, Kurzgesagt has been the most wonderful influence on my life and it has been tremendous to watch the channel grow since seeing your first upload 5 years ago when I was unemployed and going through a little bumpy patch myself. Since then Kurzgesagt videos have become a part of daily (well, monthly?) life for my partner and I, and I can’t wait to see what subjects arise from staring down this new challenge and tackling it head on. You optimism and philosophical outlook has been inspirational, comforting and sublime these last 5 years. I have no doubt you have a network in place now to give back in your time of need, but we’ll be rooting for you too. All the best, Philipp. You’ve got this.

Josh Chaffey

Best wishes from Slovakia, keep strong and hope your conquer that evil dragon soon. You'll be back changing the world with your videos soon.
