Terrible failure? Or infinite realms of discovery?
For those interested in this, I highly recommend Doug Hofstadter's "Godel, Escher, Bach".

It's an exceedingly good book.

I find his videos are quite good, though occasionally they run on a bit longer than they should.
For those interested in such things, this video was only released on 22 May of this year, yet as of today has been viewed > 5.7 Million times, and earned the author > $100k.
While I'm sure he only makes these videos for intellectual satisfaction, that's a boatload of satisfaction...

Derek Muller is currently the best in the trade of "science explainers" (those who are not convinced or don't know him yet should watch his evening-long documentary on Uranium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_%E2%80%93_Twisting_the_Dragon%27s_Tail ) - and not by pure chance but because he wrote his ph.d. thesis about "Designing Effective Multimedia for Physics Education".
And if his YouTube videos really earn him that much money I think he deserves it. Only today I read that Bruce Willis gets paid 3M$ for ten minute appearances in straight-to-DVD B-movies - not to mention what some sports stars are paid every minute... I rather spend my time watching the Veritasium channel on YouTube!

In Germany, good science shows ceased to exist long ago and were presumably not cheaper. Veritasium stepped in with a program much better than anything I've seen before. This guy is worth every single Penny.
Forget about his earning and enjoy the show.

I agree with both of you, his videos are better than any others I've seen, and he indeed deserves all that YT can pay him. My point, which it seems I missed making, is that such excellence should be well rewarded. I hope he continues...

He just won a $10,000 bet
