Thanks a billion!
Added 2021-03-17 00:34:32 +0000 UTCToday Veritasium hit one billion views on Youtube. That is a crazy milestone and one I never thought the channel would achieve.
I'm incredibly grateful for all the support I've received from family, friends, viewers on YouTube and especially you, the patrons of this channel. There are around 4,000 of you but you make the videos better for the millions of others who watch. I am indebted to you for your generosity not only financially but in ideas, feedback, and the time you contribute to this endeavor.
I believe people live better, happier lives when they are lived in accordance with reality rather than the way things appear to be or how weβd like them to be. And I think science provides the best way to get at the truth. That is why I make videos on Veritasium - to show how science works, how beautiful it is, and how powerful it can be to unravel seemingly impenetrable mysteries. You help me do that and I can't thank you enough.
The pi day video went live today (finally!). Better to get the video right than hit an arbitrary date. https://youtu.be/gMlf1ELvRzc
All the best,
Derek
