5 Million Q&A

Hey, as some of you have already noticed, the channel hit 5 million subscribers yesterday!

Thank you all so much. What an incredible milestone to hit on the same day the new video goes live. The video could've easily been finished a few weeks or days before that so this was pure coincidence.

As I usually do, I'll make a new Q&A video soon so if you have any questions, ask away in the comments of this post.

Also, I'll probably make a separate post with some stats and information about the making of the new video soon.

Hope you enjoy the new video and have a great day, cheers!

Comments

You should make a video on Scientology!!!! It’s pretty creepy what goes on in there.

Mehul Shetty

What do your family and friends think of your success…?? We all know you as LEMMiNO - but they know the person behind that persona - when you aren’t creating, what do you do…?? Who do you hang out and spend your time with….? How demanding is this sort of work when it comes to having a social life or a relationship….??

wøødɔhuɔk’ᴚ

Do you keep in contact at all with other known content creators…? I know RealLifeLore posts in your comments about how he’s a fan and enjoys your content - do you ‘know’ him and other creators and share ideas or have conversations via messages or phone calls…?? Would you ever consider collaborating…? I’m sure many creators in this documentary world would love a chance to work with you - is it something you’ve thought about…?

wøødɔhuɔk’ᴚ

Do you travel much to the US or to other countries…? Have you ever done so for research on one of your videos..? If not, are future videos going to get to the point that you might need to do some traveling / research in person…?

wøødɔhuɔk’ᴚ

How did you go about finding/recruiting the voice actors for JFK…?? We’re these volunteers…? Were they paid…?? Also - do you intend to continue to use any of the same voices for future videos…?

wøødɔhuɔk’ᴚ

Will you be making anymore videos about JFK…?? The way you describe the rest of the investigation as “parts of a much bigger puzzle” and the fact that your vid is titled “The Kennedy Assassination: Inside The Book Depository” could both suggest that there’s other topics on JFK you plan on visiting eventually - almost as if “Inside the Book Depository” is its own chapter of a series….

wøødɔhuɔk’ᴚ

Why are there always so many johns?

Hollow Reality

Hey Lemmino, keep up the great work! I was wondering if you are going to make a video relating to the recent news and video releases by the US government of UAP siting? I know you’ve made a video on 3 of the videos but would love to see more on the subject!

Rupert Hutton

Lemmino, if you were a soup what soup would you be?

Ste

What do you think will be the topic for your next video? Can you give us any clues or a ball park as to what it could be? Personally I would love to see a video about the Zodiac Killer. Thanks, great content as always!

Joe Green

Do you think Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? It would be super cool if you made a video about it

Mehul Shetty

Congratulations on the subscriber count. I will wait on the q & a since I just joined up

James Herington

Also, did you know you've taught some of your audience a little Swedish? Thanks, slutet.

So Real

Given the length of the vid, I just assumed there'd be some focus on the different conspiracies, but as it approached the final chapters it was apparent there just wouldn't be enough time. Then the actual title jumped out: "Inside the Book Depository"... so much more to tell, it'd be an amazing multi-ep series.

So Real

Is there a video you wish you could remake and/or have since changed your opinion on?

So Real

How do you make these videos, honestly. They are so high quality and it amazes me that you don’t have more people watching your videos. Keep up the good work lemmino!

jksnryn

What happens to the Mandela Effect video? It has been away from your Youtube channel for a good while now

Magnus Grønn

Had only one questions but wanted to wait in the hope I'd think of more, but no luck. Any plans on making a new album? That's all, keep up the amazing work <:

Tais993

Will you upload more frequently after the jfk video?

jesse

Hey! Was it intentionally to not show any original footage from the actual JFK assassination in your video, seems like it would have been an otherwise obvious start of the video? Also would be great to hear your view or get a follow -up video on the UFO and AI topic. Love your content!

Martin Sadik

What would you say is your biggest motivation to keep producing such incredible, detailed and labor intensive video’s?

T

How do you make your video script so engaging? is there like a "special sauce" to it? and how do you find the right musics for the video?

Paper Evidence

Probably you would have a lot of video ideas / projects that you started and didn't finished. What are some of those and why did you "abandoned" them?

Angelos Kard

What are your current views on the David Grusch UAP/UFO situation and the claim that we get a "gradual" disclosure in the next few years, e.g. Salami slicing tactics?

Moth

Did you ever scrap a video topic because you didn't like where it was going or thought people might not like it?

Viper

Whats your opinion on documentaries not being truthful? Yours is amazing and filled to the brim with references and research. But some “documentaries” are just scripted or just a way to tell one side of the story. How do you feel about those? I personally felt helpless as a viewer as I consumed media to learn things from it, but sometimes it felt the things I “learn” need even more research, its like learning 1 + 1 = 2 in school but needing to question this very knowledge.

Sharky Boi

Many YouTubers have mentioned ideas of about projects that fell onto the cutting room floor, what project did you spend time on that you regretted not making into a video

Addison Gonzales

whats your opinion on high quality documentaries fading away from TV & movies, and having migrating to youtube and some platforms? have you always enjoyed documentaries in general or has your taste switched with time?

Alonso Ricano

Your latest video seems to have been caught up in the forever ongoing controversy surrounding reaction videos / streams. You have been very open with your music, so what are your thoughts on this?

Chico Demmenie

How much time day to day do you spend researching for your videos? As in do you treat it like a full time job or do you consider researching and making your videos as your free time.

Ethan Faulkner

Would you ever consider making videos about creepypasta?

Rafael Burgos Lund

I realize it's most unlikely but I can't shake a small feeling to ask, will your latest episode become a series?

Jacob

Do you use Snus

Kaedyn Scruggs

Any plan to release video on Nebula?

Chris Auw

Why the change from Top 10 Videos, to documentary like videos? What inspired you?

Abigail

Are we gonna expect a higher waiting time as the videos gain more quality

cameron

Do you still make music??

Kasper Dahlin

Hello David! I was wondering if you would consider making a video on a Swedish unsolved mystery/conspiracy such as the assassination of Olof Palme, or perhaps more relevant today, the sinking of Estonia?

Leon

^^i just saw that David Fravor himself was on the panel at the congress hearing yesterday

Charlie Walford

Will you follow up on your ‘extraordinary until proven otherwise’ video now that it seems as though aliens are finally here to enslave us ? 👽

Charlie Walford

Would also love to see this.

Rykard

I'd love for you to briefly go through your process. I teach a class on media production and I'd love to use a video like that for my students.

Aaron Hung

what are some YouTubers you currently enjoy watching

Ellis Steide

Will you ever give us a slight glimpse behind the scenes? How you go about making these wonderful, amazing, interesting, eye-candy videos?

Krabbarazzi

It feels like your videos are more directed to conspiracy theorists (subtly). Is it part of an effort to educate people on critical thinking by tricking them into watching something that might be supporting their conspiracy theory up to the end, until it doesn't? Your videos are amazing and I've been a fan for many years. I have to admit the amount of detail in the latest one, for someone who is not into any conspiracy theories or some kind of controversy on the specific matter, is a bit tedious to watch. However, the structure, the details, the production, everything is impeccable in terms of implementation and creativity. Your work is excellent.

Elvira Lingris

Is your next video also going to take this long to make?

Mike Sterckx

The amount of information in your last two videos has increased a lot compared to previous ones. Are you planning to continue to do very long, in-depth videos? Also, congratulations on well-deserved 5 mio subscribers!

terra incognita

Hello! Brilliant video, stellar just like always! Just curious, what artists (music, film, video game, etc) do you take the most inspiration from when you fall into a rut?

Nominis300

Why skim over Jack Ruby?

Dylan Hackworth

What’s the most recent tech innovation/trend that has gotten you excited?

Attollo

Have you had any offers from broadcasting corporations or streaming services to create documentaries for them? If so, why did you turn them down?

Aliflo

Have you incorporated any AI software into your video production process? If not, would you consider doing so?

arch

Hey! first, amazing new video and thanks for the work you put into making all these. For the question, alot of research goes into making these videos and even more time and manpower to create them i would imagine, do you just go about your day until a topic catches your eye and the interest in that is what lays the foundation or do you actively look for the next topic? Tack!

Marcus Ekmark

Are you still running all of the the channel processes by yourself? If so what’s stopping you from hiring researchers, editors etc?

J Wisdom

whats your current editing and research setups look like?

wil nilsson

Hey there! First of, what does your friends and family percieve of what you do, and how do you explain what you do to someone who doesn't know about YouTube? Also, you've been doing this job for some years now, how are you finding it? And do you see yourself doing it 10 years from now? I have much love, and admiration for you, and what you do, and i hope what little money i can contribute, can be of support to you, and your work. Have a lovely day!

Rasmus Henriksen

Talarðu Íslenska? Líka, ég elska myndbönd þinn :)

Rykard

Does your community ever help you with finding some parts of your research? You hav a fanbase all over the globe so maybe translating, seeking in their local archives, asking around in their locations and so on? Anyway, if there's (for some reason) anything you might need from Czechia, ask anytime!

Břetislav Orság

Hi LEMMiNO! First of all - big congrats, you rule! Second - I'm a huuuge fan of space, and one of the big reasons why are your videos. I was thinking, since your last Space Facts video was uploaded 6 years ago, some truly stunning new discoveries have been made and the science has advanced incredibly - what do you think about the idea of making a bit larger video (maybe 30-40 minutes?) about some interesting new discoveries, plans and theories? Not like a "Top 10", but probably basicaly the same concept without being constrained to exactly 10 articles. Love from Czechia, B.O.

Břetislav Orság

when is the last time you swore in a video? similarly, when is the last time you showed you face in a video? are those days just behind us now? also congrats on 5 million!

asterven

How does your research process work? what are the steps you take into creating such detailed documentaries?

CARLOS PONCE DE LEON

Hey LEMMiNO, How many other projects/ videos do you have in the works right now? The topics you pick are usually very interesting, any sneak peaks or hints at the next topic? Thanks, Devante

Devante

What are some of the most intriguing mysteries you’ve come across which seem too difficult to meaningfully explore, for whatever reason? Do you think you’ll run out of documentary-worthy topics to spend future months researching? Or do you have a decent lineup for the next long while?

Brian Rodriguez

Glad to see your content again on my feed❤️ do you regret not outsourcing or finding others to help with any processes of your videos or are you satisfied with the way things work doing it yourself?

Skyler Foster

I’ve noticed most of your videos are on topics that have had quite a bit of time between when they occurred, and now. Have you ever thought about covering more recent topics? I could see it being a bit difficult, as you could mix facts with speculation in an ongoing crisis, and it would be hard to get it out while that event is still happening, but I would love to hear what you have to say, of course.

FrostWizard4

Big fan. My question is what is your personal favorite of all the videos that you have made?

Swaggy_T

I love all the videos you make, every single one wants me itching for more. I of course understand the reason why it takes a while to get these videos out, but it always brings up the question of whether this will be the last. So, what is your plan regarding videos? I would love to see you here forever, and if possible, posting more often.

FrostWizard4

Most of your videos are about events or stories from America or the UK. Do you ever find yourself researching videos topics which are more specific to like, say, Sweden, but scrap them because of one reason or another?

Olive Murri

Hi Lemmino, watched since the top 10 era and finally can support you on patreon! Love your new video! How do you decide on topics and see it through? Do you have a partner in crime of sorts to help you through this process?

Sharky Boi

Hey Lemino love the new video and have been watching your channel since the top tens era. I know you have travelled in the past in order to conduct research for your videos, my question for you is where have you gone any crazy stories you have encountered whilst researching on site and what has been the most challenging field research you’ve encountered.

Isaac Patterson

Hi Lemmino! Big fan since the top 10 memes era. Just wanted to say I loved your new video, it was quite gripping. Since it has been almost over a year since you posted and you had been working on this video for that period of time, did you ever doubt yourself on whether this topic was interesting enough, or worthwhile enough to spend so long on? Has this happened for any of your previous video topics before? Thanks so much and eagerly await the next video!!! Much love ❤️ PS. Also more space videos please!!!

Manas Sarpatwar

Have made any plans for whether to continue making these longer videos, or maybe keep them at ~30 minutes? I love both formats

Kresten Sckerl

Hvad synes du om kold leverpåsteg?

Kresten Sckerl

I’ve seen YouTubers use their high sub count milestones as an opportunity to highlight smaller creators to their audience, are there any underrated creators you‘ve watched recently and think deserve some spotlight?

Nthsey

Are you planning on making any future videos that have the same playful tone as ‘The Universal S’? To this day it remains my favourite video on your channel, love all your work though!

RantingOff

Of all of your finished projects, were there any that were particularly difficult to produce compared to all the others?

Jehnk

If you could remake one, and only one, of your videos, what video would you remake? Why?

Ryan Jans

What made you want to stop making “Top Ten Facts” videos, in favor of making documentaries?

Ryan Jans

Do you ever plan to make yourself public? Also congrats on 5 mil!

Enos Contras

Hey there. I've always wondered if you ever had a video really close to completion that had to be scrapped. Have you ever had to walk back a project that you had already spent considerable time into?

Cap

How do you keep yourself motivated through months of making these videos? I myself work on projects for months at a time by myself which can get lonely and hard to stay motivated - but your projects and quality of work have really been an inspiration. I'm very curious to know if you experience similar loneliness and lack of motivation at times and how do you keep going?

Pranay Prakash

Do you take inspiration, or get inspired by some filmmakers when making your own?

Magnus Grønn

Är detta med långfilms format det nya? Eller kommer vi få se lite fler och kortare videos framöver? Hejja hejja

Dd

Hey LEMMiNO, Congrats on 5 Million! You mentioned in a previous Q&A that you are often working on multiple projects at once. How do you determine if a subject matter is good enough to make a full-length video on, and how often do you drop projects completely?

sl

We are desperately overdue for Top 10 Space facts Part 9.

Skippy Williamson

What are your opinions on today’s documentary climate? Streaming has revolutionised the game and true crime is everywhere. Is this a good or bad thing in your opinion? Do you have thoughts on the MH370 Netflix series? And would you ever make update videos to cases where new information has since come out?

Skippy Williamson

Are there any videos that you just completely gave up on and you won't revisit?

Adam Ball

Q: Do you have any ideas for future videos? Like a list of videos we might see in the future? Also, do you plan to market your content and documentaries in other websites or applications, and will you eventually need a larger team of people to help you produce content faster, as you now have 5 million subs?

Tyler Kingery

Why did this video take so long? What struggles you faced while making this video? Will other videos take as long as well, from here on out?

bhrugu rajput

What are your thoughts on doing videos about what the JWST finds?

Aaron Smith

Congrats on 5 mil! Do you plan on doing more videos on the JKF case (not right away, but eventually)? Also do you have any topics/events that you like talking about but don't plan on making a video on?

Lena Adams

If you have a life outside of YouTube, how do you balance it out with your work flow and stresses of life?

V0L74G3_H4CK

(Thank you but I was trying to set up a joke lol)

Mr. Bump 2.0

I really enjoyed your previous videos on ufo's and I was curious if you would be open to making a new one given the recent files the US government has released.

Brian Weaver

Do you have a job outside of YouTube?

Marko

It does, it's just unlisted, here is the link. https://youtu.be/vB7Xv6gG5_0

Brian Weaver

I dont have a question, i just want to say that im so glad my sister introduced me to your channel back in top 10 facts team fortress 2. Im so proud i could have seen your growth into what you have become. I listen to your videos almost every night when i go to sleep, it got into a point that i remember most of your documentaries. Thank you for everything

Ondřej Boček

Considering that your channel is getting larger and larger with each video, do you think you will need a team in the upcoming future?

CRVE

Congratulations on 5 million!!! Would you ever consider doing a video on the infamous Mandela Effect? It seems to be right up your alley, and I thought you did make one, but no such video exists. I must be remembering things incorrectly again.

Mr. Bump 2.0

What do you do when you're not working on these videos?

Vince Rhee

Question: Did the new video get cut down any from the original script the beginning kinda seemed like it started in the middle of a story you we’re already telling

Ellis Steide

Have you ever considered investing in a team or assistant for research and reference purposes to help speed up the process?

Corey Williams

Congratulations! Seriously so glad to see the channel's history grow over the years. My question is: Would you be open to trying tackling a fictional topic such as Mystery Fleshpit National Park?

TerrinX

how much time does the making of background music (if needed) usually take?

alpaca

Will you be making merch? If no would you please explain further? Thanks and congrats on the 5m!! :)

Russell Forbes

What's your favorite video you've made? And what's the next project?

Low budget Videos inc

What is your process for hiring voice talent? It looks like they come from Fiverr... do you get samples, submit revisions with specific vocal directions?

Eddie Coldrick

Do you know top10memes?

Luis Pozos

What was the reason the video took so long and what is ur next project

Luis Pozos

Congratulations on the 5 Million! I was wondering what's the most enjoyable part of doing a project? Video editing? The animations? Writing the script? Maybe even just the brainstorming for ideas? I was wondering because you always put a lot of effort into your Videos and we can feel your passion in your projects!

Ruyang F.N.

what's your favorite part of the process of making your videos?

Jackboy317

Oh, we enjoyed it. Thanks for the documentary and all the insight into this topic I knew so little about.

Øyvind Wallentinsen

Are you going to visit Denmark soon?

Isac Barslev

Being a very very long time follower of your work (since 2013 more precisely) I am very curious about what you plan on doing next: - Are you still 100% focused on the creative work or is this just a hobby by now? I remember vaguely that you had studies in the Software Engineering/Computer Science, therefore my question :) - I'm pretty sure you're still a one man show (and I love it - it's not an encouragement to change it). Have you ever considered growing a team? - Any spoilers of upcoming videos? You are by far the most talented and dedicated individual creator in YouTube IMHO. Your documentaries make big channels/projects look like a windows movie maker documentaries x) Please don't ever stop producing these videos.

Fábio Ferreira

No, you have a great day

hlx

Congratulations on the 5 mil sub., you really deserve it. My questions are: Have you ever come across copywriting issues? Like, have someone used your content without you knowing or referencing you? How do you make sure that the information/references you use are valid? I know that It might not be a very interesting topic for everyone, but I am just really curious about the researching phase. Thank you!

Dóra Divinyi

Seeing the obvious professional level of the work you do, have you been approached by any big streaming services such as Netflix?

Patrik Andersson

How many bolts are there in the Ölandsbridge?

Christoffer Alexandersson

Did the Kennedy Assassination video start out as covering the whole case but was focused due to the size of the video or was it always going to be focused on the events at the book depository?

Cwavs

What was the most embarrassing moment in your YouTube career, that you still remember and cringe at to this day?

Willi Krenz

First of all, as a fellow YouTube creator from Orust/Gothenburg: enormt grattis till 5 miljoner! You are hands down my biggest inspiration on YouTube. I’m curious to hear about your current video process (assuming it takes a long time). Do you have some best practices regarding researching in general and crafting a great story? Interested to hear as well how you made the 3D animations (if it was in Blender or somewhere else). With that said, extremely happy you are back and if you have a spare moment some day, we could have a short meetup in GBG. It would mean absolutely everything to me but I understand that your time is limited too. In the meantime, I wish you the best of luck to 10 million and I’m always available on DM here.

Oscar Lagrosen

What has been your most satisfying discovery about a subject that you initially knew nothing about?

Carter Davis

I have a bit of a longer list of questions. Congratulations on the 5 million! Hope the future is bright! Do you plan to release any standalone tracks or even albums? How many projects do you usually research at a time and how many have you stored away for some potential future? Have you thought about expanding into a team to allow you to do more videos or just longer in-depth researched videos? What are some of the biggest mistakes you remember making with your content and research that taught you a valuable lesson? What is a project you really would like to make a video on, but it just does not have enough information out there? Have you ever ran into the need to travel to real location to get access to some information for your research? Can't wait to see what the 5 Million Q&A will bring. Thanks for all the content over the years! Tack!

karlkarl93

What part of your creative career do you enjoy the most? Animation, writing, researching, music production?

Septuno

What topic do you want to cover the most, but never got the chance to or couldn't duo to any kind of reason, and what's your favorite video that you've made?

Hisham Yazbak

A couple of questions from me: Is content creation still your full-time job? Did you see mean or nagging post/comments about the production time of the latest release? If so, did they affect you, or did you just acknowledge them and moved on? How's life? I hope you're doing well!

devor

First of all, congratulations on 5 million. It has been a pleasure to watch your channel grow over the last decade. I know you have said before that you jump from one project to another sometimes, but when you are focussing on a project, do you prefer sticking to one "phase" such as exclusively scripting and exclusively modeling, or do you jump around phases, like scripting and modeling at the same time, for example?

Bandito

Given your subscriber count do you feel more pressure to make the “right” video and make the video “right”?

Chris Auw

Is there any topic that you find so interesting that you'd like to make a video about but is too short for your format? If so, would you consider making a second channel and only releasing shorter formatted videos?

Yohi

Congratulations on 5 million subscribers! I have two questions for you: What are your thoughts on the intense following you've cultivated, especially given the extremely high expectations from some viewers (looking at you reddit)? How do you feel about react videos getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of views? Does your perspective on this change when taking into account whether the reaction is uploaded within hours of the original release or several months later?

Hammar

What is the upcoming new project you are working on?

Audrius Zabitis

Do you have a team you work with? If not do you plan to get one to streamline the process?

LiquidGalaxy

Why do you very rarely interact with fans?

Audrius Zabitis

If you didn't decide to make videos, what else did you want to do in life?

Timo Cook

What would you say is you're biggest short coming or something you want to work better on for future videos?

dominic manhire

Has anyone ever recognized you from your voice alone or your face as you have shown it plenty of times before?

Daniel S

Have you ever scrapped a video you spent a consideral amount of time on?

zcx 2

Also thank you for the content all these years! One my absolute favourite creators. I find your videos and projects such an inspiration and I hope I can tune that inspiration into even a quarter of your creative legacy.

Joel Tuckwell

How long do you think you’ll continue making videos for? Do you still have a long list of projects you want to attempt to complete? You’ve spoken a lot before of the creative process and having your motivation for different projects and topics ebb and flow with your interest. Is there a bucket list of topics and history you want to cover? The videos you absolutely must make?

Joel Tuckwell

What inspired you to research the JFK assassination? What was your favorite alternative explanation (aka your favorite conspiracy theory)?

Gregory Walker

Do you see yourself ever hiring people to help release videos faster, or are you always going to do everything yourself?

XER0GRAVITY

Do you plan on making an extended version of the song "it's ok if you don't wanna sing along?" -- Love all your music <3

Johann Goode

The videos keep getting longer and larger in scope. Are you worried that this may become a problem or are you just doing what feels right?

Chico Demmenie

Are you ever planning on perhaps releasing the music you make on Vinyl?

niko

How many instruments do you play?
