    • @TheGreatYukon
      @TheGreatYukon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Agreed, and I thought that's what he was going to go for. Especially given enough examples, human personality will inevitably CREATE a theme. A solid chunk of all relationships is shared interest in topics, or interest in someone else's interest in a topic, stuff like that. Para-social relationships can work the same way, and they sort of do here. We like Grey because we like the stuff he likes, or we like to see him present information because his personality jives with us. Maybe we like his presentation style, maybe we enjoy watching him talk about stuff he enjoys because his enthusiasm comes out, maybe we like the stuff he talks about and want to learn more, or maybe we never would have even given a certain topic much thought if he hadn't talked about it. Whatever the reason is it's all tied together. Grey is going with the most organic, natural theme of all.

  • @ultradude5410
    @ultradude5410 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Grey has got to be one of the best creators on this platform. No nonsense, no filler, not a dull moment and as demonstrated in the Tekoi Trilogy, he *readily admits when he is wrong* (the importance of which is not to be understated). Every video made with care and a clear passion for even the most obscure of topics. Watching through a lot of his videos, every video is distinct, the only truly common threads being Grey’s fantastic presentation style, and the consistently spectacular quality. When a new Grey video drops, it is consistently the highlight of my *week.*
    Hats off to Grey and the team!

      I remember being in 7th grade and watching the jury nullification video in the locker room of my gym class. I didn’t have headphones with me and I didn’t want people to make fun of me for being a nerd so I put it on volume 2 on my IPod touch and alternately held the video up to my ear or watched subtitles. I didn’t have an awful highschool or middle school, but I think it would’ve been worse without Grey.

    I didn’t expect it to get so deep so casually and so easily, I didn’t expect for this qna to be so interesting or get something out of it and yet… every time you had upload something, or find one recommend to me, it has always been at the right moment in my life, feeling like you just taught me a life lesson that is recently important to me, regardless if it was upload it that week or last month. For example, when you uploaded the video of how to be the most miserable, I was at one of my lowest points, I was doing every single thing on that it was said on that video unconsciously for several months before the upload date because I was merely a tumble weed at the mercy of the wind of my hormones and what was going on around me at home, then I saw it, and it helped me find what I were things I could and needed to fix, I was able to talk to my psychologist more clearly why I was so trapped I that vicious depression cycle. I’m still a mess to this day, but I’m less of a mess than I was before, so thank you.

For all the interesting tidbits of knowledge illuminated by you, I really must thank you. Thank you for 10 years worth of content and learning new thinks.

    I never expected to cry at the end of a "Fun Q&A" video by cgp grey, but here we are.

    This is probably one of the most educational channels on youtube, I learned more from here than the entire year spent in quarantine.
