    It's crazy how people still say "you're not Simon". All I hear is "you're not my real dad" and like, come on guys, Biographics deserves to be happy too and Karl has never been anything but cool. Thank you for being our step daddy, Mr. Smallwood

      And like all new stepdads, he is disliked by the stepchildren. He’s an interloper here, and there’s objective reasons he’s disliked. He does the whole “Im British and I’m going to waste everyone’s time talking about how much I hate that fact.” The lack of emotion when reading, the fact that everything he’s says off script sounds like it was pulled right out of Twitter. I could go on, but I’m living with my REAL DAD from now on

      Karl being here still makes me double check the channel icon to make sure I’m not in “fact fiend” and I’m here, and it still throws me off that Karl is doing the reads rather than Simon, but Simon deserves to be able to watch his kids grow up rather than being bullied into doing the reads on his 69292060702094960302420 CZcams channels.
      Plus, it’s no sacrifice to hear Karl instead of Simon. I like listening to both and hearing each of them have tangents ^_^

      I like how he writes better than I like how he talks 🤷 big fan of his stuff from cracked back in the day.
      Getting used to it though, he's doing fine.

    Great video.
    Presentation wise, slow down a tiny bit, add some slight pauses between dramatic points where logic paragraphs exist. It's possibly an editing issue, but find the paragraphs join a bit too tightly.

      This is the slower version. When he started on this channel some months ago that was a big point to a lot of people and I get it because I'm a fast talker too, but this is probably as slow as you're gonna get 💜

      @@Biographics I’d be happy to tell you. Commercialization is when something is being ran purely for financial gain. When I stop seeing the guy who I subscribed for narrate I immediately think, he has enough money he hires someone else to narrate so he has less work and can make more profit, commercialization. You see this with many channels and I just don’t mess with it. Especially when you subscribe for someone’s personality.
