- I've put the North-o-Meter, and some other old UsVsTh3m games, up at www.tomscott.com/usvsth3m/ - I've disabled the sharing buttons, though. No-one needs them to go viral again. In the middle part of "How To Be Popular On The Internet*", it's time to talk about giving the people what they want, about getting noticed, and about the north-south divide.

I was genuinely worried this might turn into an ASMR video if I had to talk any lower than this. Apologies to whoever was in the next cabin.
How was this comment posted 3 days ago 😐🙄🙄
3 day old comment on a 3 minute old comment? Ahh I get it. It's been private for 3 days while you edit
that's a BAD thing?? tom, your voice is perfect for this!
I'd genuinely appreciate Tom Scott ASMR.
Haha. I was going to comment on this. There were definitely ASMR vibes in this.
I was on the train heading north the other day, some southerner was clapping his hands and talking to himself about Internet popularity in the cabin next door. It really spoilt my post pie, chips n gravy nap.
Maxx B I don’t want to know what else he was doing 🤣
jay biddle the joke is that he was next to Tom scott
You guys eat post pies? Doesn't the postman get annoyed?

I'm 0% northern, which is fair since I'm from Spain.
i got London kind of make sense seeing as i am from Texas. so a major city is where i would fit in.
Jason Irwin texas is the wales of america tbh
I'm from near Chicago and got London. Can't say I'm surprised.
Gothenburg, Sweden- 30% northerner
You know you're still in the northern hemisphere right ?
"Computerphile, who were already doing some good numbers."
and later Numberphile, who were already doing some good computers.

YOOOOO 😳
LMAO

Can someone explain plz
the test: "We reckon you're 82% northern. That's somewhere around York."
Me, a Bavarian German: InTeReStInG
Us vs Them should have done a Germans vs Austrians.
Maybe Germometer would be too much.
I've heard that Germany is like Italy, each region has almost a dialect of their own.
@@JonatasAdoM oh yes we have very distinct dialects for different regions and those divide in sub-dialects again
Germans vs Austrians ... if you really want to spark some rivalry, make it Bavarians vs Austrians. The rest of Germany doesn't really care.
Bavaria is essentially a German version of the English north 😉
The city of BMW
@@JonatasAdoM Wouldn't that require them to study the German people in depth, like, live there for 15 years? Only reason this works for Brits is because it was made by Brits who knew their own country. For any other country(s) it would need to be done by people who have lived there (and traveled around there) all their lives.
No one is going to talk about his other red t-shirt hanging up in the background?
He only has red t-shirts. No other colours, just red.
Well how else is he going to change his shirt?
That’s his smart shirt. It’s got its own hanger.
Well, technically that´s a mirror and the shirt is in the foreground.
I hadn’t even noticed that!
It should be surprising (but it's not...) that Tom can do Eight Minutes of a single shot, with NO EDITS, and no mouth fumbles. Most people have no idea how hard that is. I had to do 2.5 minutes worth of video once -- just me talking into the camera -- and I didn't have the patience to do it over & over 'til I got it right. I wound up with one small edit.
But Tom...Tom is a real pro.
You know how to get to Carnegie Hall, don't ya?
David Beamer most popular TH-camrs have gift of the gab, they are natural born gobshites....!
just 15 years of training
Take a left at times square?
David Beamer unless it's all there is in your inbox
Tom's the only one on TH-cam I know who can monologue for 8 and a half minutes straight, without a single um or stutter, hold my interest in an amazingly narrative way with barely any distracting graphics, and make it all feel completely spontaneous. I'm sure you've had a lot of practice, but damn, that's serious talent.
You should check out Lindybeige, this guy is a God of that. He makes single take monologue videos which are 40-50 minutes long without stuttering or anything.
"and people in Birmingham kept insisting there was a place called the midlands"
mahogany mahogany
So people are crazy, but we already knew that. What we need is a geography teacher
It absolutely blows my mind that Tom is able to do videos like these in a single take. Such an incredible skill 😮
Absolutely!
that's a looooot of focus
Seriously, most youtubers have to cut so much because they aren't good speakers, but tom is an excellent speaker.
When you know things well and you're a seasoned speaker, it gets easier, I would imagine
@@eelexa Exactly. Like every skill it takes hard work and constant practice. Something, sadly, not taught in these 'live your dream' days.
You know, I always thought the North-o-meter was sneaking a look at my IP address. My result even changed after I moved down to London...
Oh my god! The world really is a small place! What are the sheer odds of stumbling into a comment from a creator you watch before they became famous!
Tom, you easily makes the best content on TH-cam. You never run out of interesting things to speak about and rather than sitting in your bedroom reacting to some "TH-cam drama", you are out there in the real world, sharing all the wonders and mysteries with us at home. Not to mention, I haven't seen anyone appreciate that this was done in one take.
That train is awfully stable
You're meant to be able to fall asleep on it.
Tomatjävel Two words. Rocking Chair.
The train is *bloody* stable
It's a British train, I doubt it's even moving ! ;)
0:16 Not moving at all, I see.
You know Tom's serious when he does ASMR on public transport.
No one could sleep on that train as they were wide awake from the seductive power of ASMR.
Guess Who This Is
It is too late. The lube has already been applied.
wth is ASMR
there's no way to explain it without you watching one of the videos...and I'd advise against that.

It didn't hurt that you were also the only charismatic and interesting speaker on computerphile. You spoke more clearly than most of the guests they chose. You spoke in common language without going on technical tangents. You were the only young person they spoke to. You spoke about some of the most interesting subjects they could have chosen.
+[jamalcolmson]
True, though since then there have been several more young, charismatic, energetic and interesting speakers added to that channel. And it's even the case that some of the older (both in the time they've been on Computerphile and in age) people there have become significantly better speakers now!
I agree. The channel, and its guests, has really grown in quality since Tom Scott's contributions.
Dr Mike Pound deserves some recognition as well!
mashallah tbark allah alhamdulillah inshallah better astaghfirullah
@@allahm-ast3mnlywlatstbdlny164 ??? LMAO
Tom there are a few people I have found on TH-cam I am very glad I found and you are one of them. I love the diverse range of topics that you cover. I am Australian, born and raised in Newcastle, New South Wales of Scottish, Cornish and English descent although according to a DNA test I also have a lot of Irish DNA as well. On a number of occasions I have been asked in what part of England I was born because they couldn't quite place my accent. Please keep your channel going I really love your work.
"I'm from the Midlands so both sides hate me" I love that
I love how the Northometer currently says "There aren't sharing buttons. This doesn't need to go viral again."
I needs to go viral again

@@Agvazela_Vega at least scotland doesn’t have a slough
Loving this series! Not only a genuine and insightful take on the topic, but also as a relatively new viewer it's really interesting to learn about your beginnings.
It's crazy what stuff Tom has been involved in creating what seems like very established "Internet Culture" now. I'm so glad to be able to watch your videos and get your perspective on things. Please never leave!
I feel like a British person wouldn't yell at you for being too loud, but would give you a really stern look when you got off the train.
found the american
something tells me you haven't met many Brits
That would be terrible. But you know what’s worse? Getting *tutted* at. *tut tut tut* . Just the thought of it makes me shiver.
A forceful throat clearing depending on the severity.
here in florida people just flash their alligators when you annoy them
I got 0% northern. I'm from southern USA. Seems legit.
"Every county has a north"
Is this a Doctor Who reference?
@@cosmicdonkey3473 I think Gary says it in a citation needed episode
JBpiification wait how do you do that
Dunno about that "every country has a north" bit. Cuba? What about Greenland -- the whole thing is North. And what about countries that straddle the equator (Ecuador comes to mind).
Just discovered your channel recently Tom, I would like to say I really appreciate your uncut dialogue! a problem with a lot of youtubers at the moment is cutting every sentence or so. However yours are uncut but still gripping. Thanks!
I really REALLY like the informal and intimate feeling of this video, Tom. If you feel up to it, and it'll get more frequent videos out from you, this would be grand to see more regularly.
You've disabled the sharing buttons? No problem! I'll copy and paste it into my Facebook feed!
Or just share this vid
I kinda did both. xD
1 missed call

More like Ebola nowadays, I'd say.
Because on todays Unsocial Media, bad things spread faster than a wildfire and might kill you even faster than cancer.
6:50 Tom I have to say, I love how self aware you are and always have been. While I've never felt the need to comment on your videos before, I have to give this to you; You're a great entertainer who seems like a genuine and wonderful person. Watching your content feels like sharing an experience and what I appreciate most is how you enjoy creating content as much as we enjoy consuming it. Thank you for all your work so far and here's to many more great videos yet to come! Thank you :)
Best comment so far!

Rewatching these for fun, you rock Tom : )
This is some of the best work I’ve seen from you! Loving this mini series
Computerphile introduced me to you!
me too :)
Brady Haran is the connecting thread to many of my favorite things on the internet right now.
Probably same thing. Or maybe "Things You Might Not Know - Leap Seconds".
Me three :)p
Shaun Dreclin Me too :)
It’s really nice to have this series talking about online growth from someone I respect. This is so sensible compared to the vast majority of videos explaining online growth.
"Just do what you love! That's how I got popular" --Every other TH-camr
What I like about Tom, you've got the feeling he's talking to _you_, not to 1.3 million people.
Lekker Spellen Spelen that’s a really good point... his content is very personal.
What I admire so much about you is how well you do single cut videos. You say everything well and clearly and I love your videos. But in one cut?! Wow!
I feel like this video is going to be one of those videos that don’t quite get as many views as normal, but it’s seriously one of your best. Very insightful
"There aren't sharing buttons. This doesn't need to go viral again."
I was one of the people who came from Computerphile. I remember then when you had under 100k subs, when there was just a few Things You Might Not Know videos up, it's crazy how fast you blew up, and I feel like you are one of the few who deserved it.
Computerfiles was the way I fount to you. Your way of takling is able to tell stories that keep attention and you make a excelent job in compressing the context in a short precise clip. Thanks for the good and entertaining work.
Loving this series lots of little tid bits in it to think about. Be interesting to put some of them to work and see where is gets us.
I feel like about 80% of the relatable, recognisable things on the internet has its roots in either Tom Scott or Neil Cicirega
I like the title "Things You Might Not Know", it don't assumes that the viewer has no knowledge about the subject. Where other channels tells you know nothing.
And which you will prefer! And how you will feel !
Seriously, what is it with this trend of "deciding" what is on people's minds ?
Is it a manifestation of a widespread dictator/guru instinct ?
Not only that but the driving sense of your own curiosity and vanity to discover if you really do know that thing.
Near York? Almost! Scooch about 20 miles east and you got me
It was those videos on Computerphile that brought me here. Ever since, you’ve been one of my favorite content creators.
I really hope this TH-cam channel doesn't go away as you said
All good things come to an end.
I guess he would've needed the whole trip to get all that dialogue out in one go. Literally just blew me away.
Really enjoying this series Tom, good work 😁
This series is very insightful and well developed thank you Tom Scott
After catching your "Things you might not know" videos, I noticed your name in the credits for Jay Foreman's excellent 'Unfinished Londo' videos. Cameoing in one such vid, was Geoff Marshall who I knew from Londonist and Secrets of the Underground (and later did an A1 car trip with Jay) before doing All the Stattions with his partner Vicki Pipe, who were then "Team Off Peak" on your quiz Lateral. Is Ep3 entitled "Have Interesting* Friends"?? (* friends may not actually be interesting.)
You Can't do Simple Maths Under Pressure is such a good one. Frustrating but rewarding
I found your work through your Language File videos during my MA which involved some Linguistics. I went on to enjoy many hours of your work with Numberphile and the Technical Difficulties crew. Thank you for what you put on the internet.
What got me gud in the funnies was when i watched your news day challenge bit. Also your trivia gameshow was top notch and id listen to more technical difficulties
Got it, so I should stop making ROM hack Lets Plays and start making "What Colour Yoshi Are You?" quizzes. See you on the other side boys
If you just want popularity, yes.
I need to know what color Yoshi I am now
Depends, moving from a niche to a saturated market could be suicide or the next big thing :P
You're a Blue Yoshi because you have good taste in music and blue is the colour in my head most closely associated to music. Damn, I'm a natural.
hell yeah boye, gonna share that on facebook
Got literally 0% on the test, which puts me in the Channel Islands...im Cornish, so close enough.
Yay another who got Channel Islands apart I am the only I have found from them
I enjoy this series of sitting down and talking with Tom. :)
The games are great, thanks for the link. New to your videos and really enjoying them.
UsVsTh3m was quality content. Absolutely fantastic.
Eurosong Generator, for a Eurovision fan, was pure gold. Amateur Hacker Simulator, as well.
I really love this type of format with the personal experiences and anecdotes. I really learn a lot and i feel so connected, as if I'm actually in the room having a conversation. I love this so much
Tom Scott is just brilliant. The amount of effort and time he puts into his videos is astounding, and yet his output is still high. Truly a provider a quality content!
Oh my gosh!! I forgot you were ever on Computerphile. I remember when that was created... I bet that's how I found you! Glad I did, Tom. Your content always makes my day better.
The North-o-Meter even works outside the UK. Even though I live in Holland, the latitude that came out was extremely accurate.
It gives me a yearning feeling when I hear someone give great advice that I will not understand until I learn it by personal experience.
What’s crazy is that I started watching only connect from a suggested video on the YT algorithm and started getting suggestions for your channel, I was already subscribed 😂😂
6:53 spitting truth. I love your work, mr. scott. I like what you decide needs to be heard in any sentence I hear on youtube.
If it makes you feel better Tom, I've been following your work since I saw the Breakfast With Added Iron video pop up in the B3ta newsletter. Which I believe ages both of us...
damn
... I don't even know what that is, I've been following him since his crazy experiments on his website were some had videos uploaded to his channel, the "two drums and a cymbal off a cliff" days :D
Love your videos, Tom. Keep it up, proud of you! 💜💛💚💙🍄
I like this series a lot, Tom
One of my favourite videos due to the setting and scenery shots!
I found you from Computerphile and loved it !! Would like more videos from you on that channel. Love your presentation and knowledge. Keep it up Sir !!
The "You can't do simple maths under pressure" jingle is CATCHY AS HELL.
I clicked the channel because of its name 'things you may not know' and every video you do gives me info I really didn't know, all those other channels and video titles were 'things you didn't know' and giving info on things I already know. I like how you aren't presumptuous to your audience :)
I absolutely love the concept of this series.
What magical unicorn are you though? I'm curious.
It’s always the best to have people recommend what you do to other people. That means it’s probably something positive to them and the next person will almost always look at it positively. In the company i work for that’s the main reason people buy what we build.
Found you on the Computerphile channel and loved the way you easily explained difficult concepts!
It says I'm from Jersey.
But I'm on the other side of the Hudson...

Am I spotting subtle *Back to the Future* references in these videos, or am I just being overly fanatical?

Apparently I'm 100% Northern, likely in Newcastle. (I'm actually 5 miles outside of Birmingham) I got a good laugh out of it, so it served its purpose well! Bravo! 🎉
I found your channel via Computerphile. Loved your way of telling a story, so I was happy to subscribe to your channel.
Vicki looks different in this one
Apologies for my ignorance but is this an All The Stations joke?
Yep

Mad i somehow understood this
To a southerner the North starts at Watford Gap, to a Northerner the south starts at the Tyne. The Midlands are large and negative.
I think the Tyne is a bit optimistic. The wear though... Perhaps. Certainly past the tees.
'aut south of Sheffield is southern :D
Jay Forman has a particularly good video about the the line actually is in his Map Men series, it's worth a watch.
Having grown up in Plymouth, I firmly believe everything past Torbay is The North
This is my favourite ASMR video of the year, granted its the only one I've watched, but still
i love that tom has a red shirt on a hanger, not sure if its a joke or just practical for shooting the next day
Things I learned from today's video. 1, The UK still has sleeper trains. 2, Tom really knows how to keep his audience baited for the next week's video. :)
I really expected you‘ll be telling us, you coded the legendary „impossible quiz“ 😃
Just found you via an old quiz share, now following your journey north. Look forward to the next episode.
I appreciate you sharing. Encouraging others to provide meaningful content and humble honestly. You are a cool dude..

People trust white men with British accents. And yet we're the baddies in movies all the time too ;-)
Coming next - "How to build an underground lair, narrated by Tom"
For "British" and "Underground Lair" See: Colin Furze
Yes, but white men with German accents are more often the villain and white men with British accents basically always play someone who knows what he's doing. This is both true for the villains and the heroes
dude you’re literally James Bond
I'd love to see the lair thing.
white women with british accents are gravely underrepresented 😭😭😔😔😔
This was sush a great movie, thank you very much for the episode.
I'm really impressed how you do these in a single take. I don't think I can talk for 30 seconds without saying ERRR or without completely forgetting the point I was trying to make.
