We don't deserve this detail or production quality in such a neat little bundle. Ridiculously good, Henry. Well done as always
Exactly what everyone is trying to say
I glad he doesn’t quit because I love these vidoe
🤓🤓🤓
if you dont deserve, then dont watch🤔🤔
He’s basically a carbon (get it?) copy of Johnny Harris.
It's worth mentioning that Europe and the USA were very much into other precious stones when the diamond inception began.
De Beers did a lot to tarnish the reputation of those other stones: bad luck, magnet for ghosts, illnesses, etc. while perfecting the reputation of the diamond as something pure and as unbreakable as some holy spirit.
😮 I didn’t know that! Thanks for putting that extra information out in a public comment. 😊
Interesting.
Opal was growing in popularity as an engagement stone and DeBeers, as part of their effort to make diamonds the standard, purchased a big opal mine in Hungary and shut it down.
Bro your humour is terrible and I know you'll have little fanboys and fangirls who will always tell you you rock but trust me your humour is ok not terrible how can I word it......... That nerdy uncomfortable when someone's just awkward and weird. Essentially this is constructive criticism and I'll throw some praise in with it but the criticism is your high level production work and side cartoons are less entertaining and funny and more irritating and embarrassing you're afraid to give the proper punchline because it doesn't come across as pg13 so you dumb the joke down which the joke itself is so specific to the topic that only ppl who have studied and followed the diamond industry would follow and as you've proven those are some gullible ppl. And as for the end of this video what do you think myself the viewer took away from this diamonds aren't rare or forever ok rarity any dummy should be able to see this isn't true if it were then 90% of all diamonds on earth would be in a rappers closet ever buy a diamond anything and then try to sell it the diamond is worth nothing real or labgrown. Not forever........ Ok........ But still a super long ass time and still the hardest but the point is there was no point you just said diamonds were not forever but then did nothing to explain your declaration what's you're argument that they aren't forever.
OK here it is..... The praise though your humour is too exclusive and just........ Weak, timid, with brutal voice over..... Seriously hire someone to read the skit scripts, you did a pretty good job keeping me interested when you weren't irritating me with terrible skits, and you've caught on with a new kind of info seekers who are seeking to find out the truth and awakening to the system of lies we are all fed daily so there's a lot of ppl out there right now seeking honest truth becoming more aligned with the real reality once they have learned to decouple from the matrix....... (Anyway bit of a tangent there sorry) there are some good and some just not so good aspects but I wish you well and look forward to coming across a new video of yours cause it's blowing up and lands in my feed
@@FarangDoingThaiStuff 😮😮😮😮 it looks like they were all over in the world
My significant other and I already chose a down payment on a house for our family over a rock. After this, I'm reassured we made the right choice regardless of how society judges us.
Thanks for yet another amazing video, your screen magic is top notch 😙👌
She's a keeper. Anyone who sees the value of the relationship over everything else is worth spending your life with.
Why would people judge you for that ?
@@user-gx9ev3cj4f Trust me, they do, apparently having an expensive and big diamond is more important to people
@@elialfassi9139💯💯
Just use zircon cheap as shit looks literally the same except under literal microscope.
My wife hates it when I mention that her engagement ring will never be worth what we paid for it. It’s beautiful, sure, but if it appraised for anything near what I paid, I’d be shocked.
if I got married I would buy another gem
I mean, it has sentimental value, though the actual gem themself are worth less.
Well I can understand why she hates it
The main thing about a ring is the sentimental value
And there's no reason to regret something you can't, and shouldn't, take back
If I ever get married, Im giving em a ring pop
@@CrowAkechi_The_Luminary shit if I was given a ring pop I'd be honored and treasure that for the rest of my 5 minutes I eat it
I watched a bunch of your shorts and I think you do a great job on them. You have a good look and voice and your delivery is full of excitement and energy without going over the top. I also like that you are kid friendly with the language. Keep up the good work.
don't forget the sussy animations too 😂
These videos are so damn immersive. This is the quality content that deserves recognition.

Don't forget, when some nasty competition shows up, call their product "blood diamonds" and declare them evil.
oof, i think debeers was the blood diamond cuz they were the europeans profiteering off the local africans.
either from cheap labor then marking up the price to ludicrously high levels or out right slave labor. (idk, because bloody or unsafe work conditions is a topic i kinda know exists but ive yet to compile my evidence.
1) sweat shops, 2) child labor, 3) modern day slavery, and so on. its nice to be american but the goods we enjoy that are cheap is probably due to them paying them low wages. even adjusting for thier country
I mean, they right about the blood diamonds, wars and massacres have been done for them pieces of carbon.
Yeah blood diamonds from sierra lone
This is SUCH a well executed video..honestly idk how this isn’t more popular
its simple they want money to go to tahin
Simple, because he belabored a very simple point in order to increase the length of the video. That whole supply and demand graph was particularly circuitous. I was going..."just get to the point!". And we all know the point. In fact, the point of this whole video is common knowledge. Debeers are artificially limiting diamond supply in order to increase demand. This is not unique to Debeers. Rolex, Hermes, Gucci...etc. basically all high end brands do it. But diamonds are unique. Because, although DeBeers do limit supply of diamonds, and carbons are everywhere, not all carbons are diamonds, and not all diamonds are of the quality fit for jewelry. Only a small percentage of diamonds are of high enough quality to be sold as jewelries. And here is the actual truth, diamond supply, just like every natural resource, is finite. If you mine too much, you could run out of supply. And, it's not like every place has diamonds, there are only select mining sites in the world, and even the act of mining is a very difficult and expensive process. So, while the video is true enough, there are a lot more reasons why diamonds are expensive, and it's not as simplistic as "DeBeers limit supply".
@@RJ-xh4xb agreed, kinda frustrating to watch how slowly he got to the point
Could be that its pretty old news that diamonds are not rare but the video sure was fun to watch with the high production quality
Your long form videos are underrated.
These long-form vids are STUNNING!
This is absolutely creativity with a bunch of knowledge. Thank you Henry!
Bro this voice acting is top tier 💯
Why does this have under a thousand views? He deserves more
20+ years ago, I watched a documentary the truth about diamonds just before I got married. It stated almost everything this video mentioned. Can't remember the title tho. Told my wife to be that I will never buy her diamond jewellery. But I bought her the monetary equivalent in gold jewellery.
Apart from the rare one, diamonds never hold their value. Try and see how much that $10 000 you paid for diamond ring can get you at a pawn shop vs. a 916 gold ring.
Like buying a new car, moment ypu bought it ,you lost a lot of money.
glad you and your spouse chose gold instead, gold don't decrease value after buying and either stay or even increase over time. It's a good investment!
Never mind the ring.
Do some research on true female nature and marriage.
I got Red Pilled after my cheating fiancé was exposed and saved myself from getting married.
Yellow gold is THE best jewelry.
Gold is a investment a diamond is not i was thinking when buying a diamond but i don’t think so anymore….
I took Eco 101 in my first semester at university, but I never learned about equilibrium, which you just cleared up for me.
You learn about equilibrium in uinv? In India we were taught about this is class 11/12 (1-3 years before attending college/univ) and while at it we were taught brilliantly, It lead to eco being my favourite subject in that class.
Wtf did you learn?
@@holy_marijuana In the states econ is part of 8-10th grade common core curriculum. You need it to graduate High School, I imagine the first guy is either older or not in the states.
Here in indonesia, equilibrium is taught in 7-8th grade no joke
Chill, peeps. It's taught in schools everywhere, he just never took it as a subject in high school, so he had to do an introductory course in uni. Though this doesn't explain why he never got to learn about equilibrium...
Your ability to explain things while making high quality production like this has gained you a subscriber..
Great content😁💯
Idk why, but your videos are just amazing 🤩
Good animation, good but yet funny Voice Acting, he's energetic, which doesn't make it boring to watch, his videos are informative and optional unlike school, meaning we have the choice to watch them which makes them even better. So, overall his videos are just amazing.
Your channel are the real rare gem
Maybe the real precious gems were the content creators we found along the way
PLEASE make more videos. these bring joy to my days
Man this is one of the best TH-cam videos I've seen in a long time. The quality is insane.
Amazing video 🎉
These videos are amazing! Please continue making long form content!
I think my favorite part about videos like this is the chaotic work space and random junk in the background. Like why are you surrounded by random boxes and looking for your papers😭
1:56 is why I love your channel.
The quality of this video is insane
This is some Grade A content here! I'm sure that of you continue to make long form content you'd hit the jackpot with it!
This guy deserves some respect. Can you believe this guy only pushed 500 views 8 months ago? And so he did for over 2 years before he gained tracktion. This guy should be a role model for any young aspiring youtubers out there.
I came to your long form content from shorts and holy crap are these videos underrated. So beautifully edited and animated. Keep up the amazing work. 😁
The production quality is insane, you managed to explain everything in a very exciting and entertaining way
First long form video I've seen from him
i cant be the only person that just recently found out that diamonds are just carbon not a super rare thing from outer space
Hank! Can I call you Hank? Ok Hank, this has got to be your most informative video yet. WoW very thorough and detailed. Not to mention that we all LOVE the voices. They are hilarious. Keep up the great work
Wat
Maybe they’re trying to make a point that Henry’s videos are exciting, engaging, and informative like Hank Green’s informative videos?
This video was so good, I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the quality and I hope to continuing seeing you grow!
I recently found out that sapphires and rubies are made of the same compound (Al2O3) only differing by trace minerals and emeralds are made of something completely different (Be3Al2(SiO3)6).
Just this stupid thing cemented in my head that Pokemon emerald is better than Ruby and sapphire for some reason
Yep. I knew that about rubies and sapphires
Babe wake up, HENRY JUST MADE A VIDEO
Just the effort. WoW
Now I understand why there are huge abandoned fields where it is strictly prohibited to pick diamonds and even leave road.
This quality of video should not be free.
The long-form videos you make are so underrated and high quality! Can't wait to see what you'll make next :)
One of the best production qualities I have ever seen
when he pulled out his signature green screen, i felt that
more long-form please
Writing my dissertation on the mining economy of my country where this De Beers company is influential. This video has to be the most informative and detailed historical background I could get my hands on. Love it here
Where do you live?

This... is a diamond
DEAR GOD!
They're expensive
NO!
It’s really strange how I was talking about my bosses diamond wedding rings today and I even (jokingly) said “Diamonds are forever “ it really is ingrained I. Our society
First time checking out your long-format vidoes,. They're super underrated
Omg you make full length videos too! This has made my day
This is too good to be in TH-cam
1:06 that fingernail though 💀💀
Infected dawg
Sensational quality, can't wait to see these videos getting 1 million views at least as they deserve
Love this long form content! ❤
i really watched a video about things I already know
Your economics class on demand and supply was good
I subscribed to this dude bc of that animation and prods quality. Man. You deserve it, you deserve more!
Thanks for the insight. Your videos are fantastic.
Best thing I have watched all week. Thank you Henry, this is brilliant 🇿🇦
I've only ever watched your shorts, but watching your actual videos is worth, the quality of these vids are underrated
The editing is immaculate and the animation is just *muah* chefs kiss love it
Adam ruins everything also did a video on De beers diamonds a couple of years ago and it was quite interesting, I would recommend checking that out as well
Editors/animators are getting sus every minute 💀
You've seriously upped the animation game....*Great* work as always Henry! 👍
you deserve my sub. this quality is insane
Fun fact :- *World's 70 % diamonds go through India* !
Hey man, Amazing quality of production and content! Deserves much more impressions!
Btw can i happen to get some tips for start ups and learning about how to go from zero to one?
would love if you could help.
wow i usually just watch this guy’s shorts and seeing even his full videos have such good production quality is amazing
Fantastic video Henry. Hope that finger nail heals up fast!
Diamonds' only advatage is that they are hard and can be used as great tool tips, reinforcement material etc
They basically are tools, not jewellery smh
people are easily influenced by everything, it's irritating
I love these videos every single one
This long form content of yours is so good
Respect for the great work. you have done on all of your videos.♥️
This is so good
that was so good keep it up :)
I never knew you made full vids I am hooked on your shorts, loved your presentation and language...excellent
Man, it's either the video or the information....I'm satisfied. The Best!
I subscribed, I can say this decision was the right thing to do
It means I was right from the get go when I told my mom that "Gold" are far more expensive than "Diamond" when I was little but she disapproved and told me I was wrong and I started to believe it until now but the thought and perception of Gold being way more expensive than diamond didn't falter in my mind.
Sometimes I wonder what made me value and cherish Gold way more than diamond. lmao 😂
Gold and even silver have practical application. Especially gold for the tech industry, did you know gold is used in micro chips? You were absolutely right, diamonds are worth nothing.
I found out that gold can only be made in supernovas or collision of neutron stars. When planet was hot mass it sunk deep inside our planet. So its much much rarer then diamons.
Former diamond believer here
Perhaps even better than gold......platinum, 18x rarer....🤔
@@eddieharris6004 i see
I’ve been watching the shorts for awhile now and just found the main channel I love the slap dash footage with the quality animation.

Absolute banger Henry!!! (As usual) 🔥🔥

Dude for a still growing channel you have some SERIOUSLY high quality content! It’s like watching something on National Geographic!
I’m surprised at how good the pacing is here coming from your shorts, which are typically so fast paced. Great editing on both fronts!
Your videos are so underrated man keep it up
The production quality of animation is Netflix tier
This dude is massively underrated, great journalism on interesting topics
Why do videos like these always feel illegal to watch 💀
How?
Wait we just found out in the 2000s!? Geez
This is the best quality of content i have ever seen,Good Work
nice editing
These videos will honestly never disappoint, and I'll say this again. Some news channel hire this man!
Henry. You’ve done it again!🫡
I never get bored watching his vids
Excellent video. Been watching videos from this channel for quite some time, this one is the one that made me subscribe.
This video is so detailed and high quality yet doesn't have a million view.Underrated.
Great job brother. Homework nicely done, awesome production quality. Obnoxiously awesome.
