A video like this could not thrive on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or even Facebook for that matter. This is my attempt to explain what's good about CZcams, and to encourage decisions within CZcams's leadership to consider leaving a bit of money on the table in favor of protecting the beautiful cathedral that they have created for us. Following the short-term numbers will destroy the beautiful thing you have created, but if you stay the course and stay true to Your Voice, I believe the fact that Educational content thrives here on CZcams will ultimately make you win in the end. Thank you to those who work at CZcams for making a platform where beautiful things like this can exist. The challenge now is to fight to keep it this way, when the siren song of more dollars is no doubt trying to pull you away from that which is good.
Well said!
☝️☝️☝️ this is so extremely important. Thanks for all you do & God Bless You!
Your awesome Destin
That was a good choice of verse at the end, Destin. I have watched your channel for years and I really appreciate your content.
Thank you! I'm so happy you are resisting the shorts movement, while there may be a place for such things - When I see a SED video, I know it's great content and I want there to be a substantial amount of info being hurled in my direction. Thank you for saying it so well, I agree
Thanks for this thoughtful video Destin. I am constantly reminded of how ‘the medium is the message’ which makes me wonder what is the real message of CZcams? I think for a long time the message of CZcams has been in depth, quality content, which contrasts with other social media platforms. Like you I hope they keep it this way and don’t keep trying to copy every other platform out there. What I love about your work is you’ve never lost your voice. Thanks for using your voice for good on here.
Yeah
you fell off + ratio + the hood watches Tom Nicholas now
I was a bit sad when you made the video about the need to change your titles due to the algorithm, it felt like youtube already started evolving to bury your (and destin's and many others') quality channels under piles of clickbait fiesta without any substance behind.
It reminds me of an old interview of a leader of the first TV channel in france (TF1) explaining the meaning of their programs is to sell people's attention to the advertisers...
Its weird because I noticed the evolution of Derek's and Destin's channel. Not in a negative way, but just noticed how much more in depth their videos were progressing. I still found myself watching videos that were 15-25 min long and was still engaged just as much as the 10 min videos. STILL incredible content from my favorite creators, learning subjects I had no idea I was interested in. YOU really are getting smarter everyday. Thank you guys for the content over the last 10-12 years. The impact has not gone unnoticed. Cheers
I appreciate the kind words Derek. I appreciate you and count you as a true friend. I’ve really enjoyed your work lately for many reasons. I’m excited to see you hit your stride and lead us all towards more intelligent content.
Thank you all creators still try to steer CZcams to the right direction.
We are all trying! " like and subscribe" 😄😄
right...
@@sorenkair he said left
As Destin would say: “in a world of talkers, be a THINKER and a doer”. Thank you Destin for thinking about how content on internet should be delivered and for producing such good stuff for so many years.
Thank you Destin for the fun photo project!
Running around Paris to find the exact same spots and capture it again was like a really cool Indiana Jones adventure!
Well done guys! You've both made my day!
The photos were perfect. Even the objects locations
thanks for your effort for recreating the photo. hope you have a good day as i have from this video:)
@@RadManGG Thanks a lot !
@@DJON0071 Thanks :)
Very good points. To add to the conversation, I'm not a fan of the dislike button no longer showing the count either. Now it's harder to sort through tutorial videos. I learn how to do some household tasks like change outlets here on CZcams. Now I can't tell if the video is clickbait, low quality, or if everyone got electrocuted unless I read the comments in every video. The problem is, content creators can turn the comments OFF. So now people here on CZcams can curate a well crafted lie for watch time, and even propaganda can flourish now. I think they're creating a monster without even realizing it. The CZcams shorts are only going to exacerbate this downward trend too.
Very valid point.
I have cut down on new content since they removed the buttons numbers. That's ok, I have got plenty i know are good.
Its all part of youtube becoming a better part of the Marxist-Communist-Socialist propaganda machine.
I remember when they did the same thing with the thumbs down on comments. That’s when CZcams comments went from mostly helpful and quality to trolling and garbage. This will have the same effect on their video contents quality. It’s a huge mistake.
I suggest we all use the feedback option in the app to let them know, we want it back and why. If I was looking up a repair or troubleshooting video. I used the likes to dislikes as a meter of the reliability of the video.
CZcams "Broadcast Yourself"
That was the slogan and mantra when it was climbing up from obscurity.
It was power to the people to make their voice heard.
power to the people lmaooooo hahahahahahahahhahahaha
@@chrismathewsjr Yes, and it was all about the people and small creators. That was over a decade ago, what's so hard to believe? CZcams wasn't always so political and censored as it is today, you know?
It was. Now it is turning into another Facebook full of censorship.
@@chrismathewsjr this was before google bought them
@@chrismathewsjr you're showing your age
After the disappearance of the dislike counter it's clearly harder to see yt in such a positive light, but i think that the overall message is still extremely important AND relevant, all content producers should take this message to heart, if they didn't already by themselves.
God bless you Destin, never change.
you can add a chrome extension to bring back the dislike counter
@@zangoz_2693yes but so many people are watching videos via the YT app on our smartphones or tablets.
CZcams needs to be replaced with something better. Removing dislike view is such a dumb decision, one of many these past few years.
They shouldn’t remove it. They should just bring back some stuff
You can try something like Rumble, but those are political echo chambers
@@NickzAndMikz You mean it's a certain group of people that were censored off of CZcams?
CZcams was better 2 years ago 😢
@@NickzAndMikz 'first they came for x, but I was not an x so I did not speak up'
Agreed. I'm not a fan of shorts, but rather more thorough content. Shorts, TikTok and reels are fine, but everyone wants to be what CZcams is. CZcams shouldn't try to be what they are not.
I prefer trousers in winter
God, why is everyone making shorts?! It's December for Christ sake.
@@unlokia That could actually work as a pretty good metaphor. TikTok lives in a hot climate and wears shorts, and now CZcams is seeing them wear shorts and now CZcams wants to wear shorts too. But it's just going to end up with CZcams getting frostbite because it doesn't work in this climate.
What shorts are doing is basically reuploaded tik toks. Most of the shorts I watch are just short food clips from content creators who upload on tik tok and youtube shorts side by side. Basically somewhat a reincarnation of vine. It's a format that fits certain contents but not the long-form video youtube is already providing
CZcams thrived with short videos about cats, memes, and "fails" during its beginning and by dropping them they allowed tiktok to pick up the idea and grow as a contender. CZcams is not copying other platforms by using shorts. CZcams WAS the main platform for short videos, and corporate karen made the mistake get rid of them by punishing creators who made them.
Long videos are fine, but some of us also have been enjoying short videos for over 15 years in this platform. I'd rather have both.
I honestly feel this is one of your most important videos that you have done.
Although the aim of this video content is directed at the platform of CZcams, it's application is much more broader and far reaching. And is fundamental to navigating our "modern" life.
Keep up the good fight and stay the course.
With those acoustics in Notre Dame, imagine how absolutely crazy the fire might have sounded before it destroyed the ceiling.
You get it man, now you know why I started it. the sound!
“Half of CZcams's mission is to give everyone a voice"
The other half is making sure no one is able to hear it
Facts
You have an intelligent, interesting, scientific channel. Of course CZcams wants it destroyed.
Dictatorship of the algorithm
"the other 2 halves are making sure no one is able to hear it"
perfect.
I use CZcams mainly for education. I watch tutorials and DIY projects, and the dislike button saved me from wasting my time with bad videos, because people with more knowledge than me would dislike something that is wrong.
Now I have no idea if something new for me is correct or wrong !!! CZcams just destroyed education!!! 🤬
Why I usually read comments first.
👍 maybe everybody should start their comments with a thumbs up or thumbs down 👎 👍 to replace the youtube editing.
@@rebeccawhite3804 creators can delete any specific comment they want
@@rebeccawhite3804 Too messy. And you wouldn't be able to know the actual ratio with thousands of them. Negative emotions are more contagious and hence some trolls will abuse it just for the heck of it.
Same. I'd use the dislike ratio as a barometer on if it was terrible advice or if the video was click bait. CZcams already takes down comments on the regular. Not a good way forward.
I have been watching you for a few years now, if there was a youtube saint award, you would get one. Khan academy comes to mind to compare to what you are doing. Making facinating subjects accessible and adding a level of unobstuctive entertainment is a massively effective delivery. You do an incredible job. Smarter Every Day is an example of the good things online communication has to offer and I wish you nothing but the best. (Also, as a 50 year old, I've been forwarding the James Webb video to everyone. Geeking out hard, fingers crossed, can't wait to see the results. Cheers to your Dad)
A very fascinating video!!!! The power of the “Voice” is amazing!! Thanks for your version/vision of voice….. You hit a major point I have thought of often. The “short” version… I watch Utube because I have the choice to go in-depth on a subject and think about it. It provides many opinions and points of view. That’s the short part. But it also allows you to think about it and make your own choice. That’s the long part. At least for me… Thanks again for the video!!! Definitely a change of pace!!! Keep your voice!!!! Please!!!! In this point in time too many are content with letting others “Voice” for them……
Completely agree. So many other CZcamsrs I see just copy the latest trend or success, rather than stick to their style that gave them the passion in the first place.
Welp, this particular video is _not_ what Destin was/is about.
It's just another meta/self-absorbed/introspective piece like a million other youTube-identity-crisis "who am I, what is youTube... _really_ , etc." monologues.
I just want another Destin video about the usual (or unusual) Destin real topics, say "Schlieren Imaging of Butterfly Wing 🦋 in Flight", just to make something up.

OUTSTANDING VIDEO!
My favorite part of SmarterEveryDay is the reaction of those involved. When the baseball broke Mach 1, the weedwacker line wrapped and unwrapped, the submariners proudly discussed their craft, the snatch blocks lifted an incredible mass, etc, etc.... Each of the moments included the unfiltered responses of those involved. Sheer exaltation, shock, and dismay are all at play here.
KEEP SHARING THESE MOMENTS! And keep including your friends throughout the world.
Well done Destin.
SNATCH BLOCK!
Another showcase of not only how smart you are, but how WISE you are. Big props Destin🔥🔥
Absolutely nailed it! CZcams is a publishing platform. You are a content creator. You earn/"perform" for both yourself and CZcams. CZcams exists to profit from your work. It's options are to do so either parasitically (by consuming value from you) or symbiotically (by creating value for you). In reality, this is a spectrum. But the fact remains, the content creator is the host.
No content creator should ever change for their publishing platform, in the same way that no person should ever change for their mosquito.
Smarter Every Day is my doorway to the thinky place.
Algorithms from a handful of companies are altering our culture in small increments but not insignificant amounts. It’s important for creators to remember their values. Thank you Destin for keeping them.
Last video's frog in context
You're running one of the best educational outlets in the world Destin. Forget shorts, forget pandering to the algorithm, you are doing everything right.
Thank you sincerely for everything this channel has done, and thank you on behalf of my kids too.
This was a FANTASTIC video!! Excellent content! Excellent subject! And it's about time WE ALL stand up and PROTECT "OUR OWN VOICES" as you say! And our HISTORY at the same time! Two things we should ALL remember and live by;
"BE TRUE TO YOUR SELF" And "SPEAK YOUR OWN TRUTH"! 100%! As a SOCIETY we are having that basic RIGHT/Freedom taken-away globally if it doesn't fit with a Narrative being peddled by large conglomerates and those in power.
We are ALSO having/have had our HISTORY wiped out over the last few decades! And Historical Buildings monuments etc! London is unrecognisable from 25-30years ago now! ...So I feel this video is MORE IMPORTANT than even you Realise!
Well done and cheers from London England 👍💪😎🏴
Hi Destin. That's one of the best video I've ever seen about being a individual, being true to yourself, being who you really are and not letting CZcams, Facebook and all the other tech companies dictate your content and stuff with their algorithms. It's really food for thoughts. 👍👍
I agree, and really appreciate your message!
If someone's true to their voice on this platform, it's you Ben.
Keep doing what you do!
I watch both of you and subscribe 😄 Thanks for what you are doing.
Please never change your video type, you make the best of the best type of videos.
don't hitch your wagon to a dem horse
Destin is, without a doubt, one of the very best content creators on CZcams. I can't think of anyone that communicates as clearly, effectively, and thoughtfully as he does.
Agreed! Although I know a few other great content creators, like Jon McCray (Whaddo You Meme channel).
And his unbridled joy seen when he learns or discovers or successfully completes a build is so beautiful to see the honesty in his expression in that moment.

Destin: "Don't lose your voice"
Me: "Oh man, I totally agree with everything Destin says."
CZcams: "let's remove the dislike count"
@@smarkies I know
You made me Laugh out so loud ! Thank you for this one !
I also don't like how they removed the dislike button. It's going down the path of the other platforms that also don't have dislikes. It really provides a good measure of whether a video is actually good or bad. It is supposed to be a useful tool, but some people just use it as a weapon and now we all have to suffer without one of CZcams's greatest tools.
Other than YT Rewind I never encountered a video where the dislike count impacted whether I was going to watch. It may have made me feel better about disliking it, seeing that many others did as well, but I'm genuinely curious whether it changed your behavior -- not your opinion.
almost nobody used it as a weapon - people used it to express their actual opinion of disagreement. Often at CZcams itself. And youtube didn't like that.
@@x--. It's actually very useful for education videos and tutorials, so you can see which ones are more trustworthy or useful to other people
Yeah, ratio is gone, so bye-bye useful indicator if the video is actually good. Now the likes are less valuable too because they stopped being compared to anything. Should I compare them to the number of views the video has? It's so clunky and backward and hardly tells about video quality at all.
@@x--. The dislike count was a tool I used for determining if I was going to watch an educational video.
A key example would be when looking for a video on how to do a simple car repair.
The dislike number helped me avoid click-bait videos, and guide me to the one video that told me what I needed in less than ten minutes.
-
The dislike counter helped avoid clickbait videos that are just re-postings of other peoples' content in a long video of marginally related content.
I love your format and content. I have shared it with all four of my grandchildren. They love watching Smarter Every Day with Opa.
Thank you for ‘not losing your voice’ and sharing this message. I hope to follow that lead in those things I pursue.
Thanks for making this video Destin!

Destin...
When you pulled put the slides I got a bit emotional.
My mom and dad took MAANY slides (and photos and stuff) and they've passed away in the last 10 years. But this year I was told I'm in the late stages of Esophageal Cancer. I won't be alive long and my sister came to stay with me a bit. We were going through slides and pics from mom and dad. I can't imagine being without those physical ties to the past, our childhood, and even further back.
They didn't lie and didn't stage things to get more views. It meant a lot to see our true past.
So glad to see you are being strong on being a true and unrelenting 'you', in the face of a world desperate to 'remake'.
God bless.

Jeremy - can't imagine what you're going through, but I do know the thought of dying brings what's truly important in life to crystal clarity. God is for you. He loves you. You need him - you need forgiveness of sins only He can give. He stands ready to forgive if we admit we've done wrong in our lives and ask for His forgiveness. And his name is Jesus Christ.
I hope my message doesn't offend you - I type this with all sincerity and good will. Jesus has changed my life and forgiven me of my sins - past, present, and future. He also gives me peace during these troubled times. I have an incurable genetic disorder that causes headaches every day and night, and I'm allergic to headache medicine. But God carries me through each day.
Praying for you buddy. Thanks for being strong enough to post what's going on in your life. It means a lot.
@@charlietheteacher7795 Jesus doesn't exist, stop indoctrinating people. What can save someone with cancer is science, not imaginary person you created cause you couldn't cope with our problems.
Hey Jeremy, I just wanted to say your comment will be up here for generations and this little piece of you will be remembered.
Remembering my past is often tough for me but your thoughts have prompted me to reconsider trying to hold on to some of the good parts, the faded trinkets and the bittersweet memories. Large or small, I will carry this little corner of your shared experience with me. Thank you.
@@versedi You're right but this isn't the place man. Only if for OPs sake. Yes, he took this mans situation and made it about his favourite story book character but you don't need to develop that argument here. Maybe consider deleting the comment, idk
Your comment hits me too. I just lost my father to esophageal cancer at the age of 68 in April. We were late to getting him diagnosed and it wasn't even 6 months between his diagnosis and his passing.
I don't know how old you are, or what your story in getting to where you are now is, but I'm sorry you're going through this, and I hope with whatever meaningless power to magically change things that I have that you get every extra day, hour and ounce of time that you can, and that you face it with all the bravery and strength you can muster.
As a photographer and HUGE fan of your content, this is the most insightful video I’ve watched in a long time. As a photographer, I’m not happy with the shift from photography to video shorts on Instagram. I think you have a very important perspective on mental health and the positive data in respect to the CZcams platform. I hope CZcams is listening….listening to you.
This was a great video, recreating old photos and especially capturing a moment in time at the cathedral. What a great 24 minutes!
Destin...man don't change anything. I like watch your videos due to how you do things, the enjoyment you get from it (Evident in each video) and yeah...your voice in every applicable meaning of that phrase. Love this project you did and had no idea about your other channel which I will certainly check out. Cheers mate!
I'm a huge fan of doing these then and now photo projects. It's a great way to connect with history. Appreciate your voice!
There is a roughly 40 minute video of exploring the Somme and recreating photos taken over a hundred years ago, and its amazing to me that you can see just how much the earth was moved to accommodate the Great War, and just how much of those earthworks still remain exactly the same today.
@@loganmartin59 Interesting. I’d like to see that.
There’s two things I found interesting about this. Firstly, cathedrals like Notre Dame are extraordinarily vast given their age. The people who planned it and laid the foundation stones would never have lived long enough to see it completed. The scale of such buildings is such that there’s constant building maintenance going on. You could say that, from the first stone to this day, builders have never really left.
The second point is that those glass negatives are almost certainly 5 x 4 inches, a format that is still in use today. 5 x 4 and 10 x 8 large format cameras are still used for architectural and studio photography, especially where poster-sized images are required. Even in this digital age, larger formats provide for incredible detail and detect a range of colours that normal cameras can’t.
Remember the Argo...
LOVED the stereo audio/video of Notre Dame... Dustin, you are one of the best and smartest on CZcams. Thanks for what you share! ❤👍😎
Just two days before Notre-Dame burned, I was in Paris on a school trip in Europe where we explored different important places from WW2. I was standing in front of the Notre-Dame but decided not to go in due to long lines and time constraints (this was a school trip after all). I remember after we’d moved on from Paris and were in Belgium, watching on TV as the spire of the cathedral fell, engulfed by the flames. My biggest regret then and now was not taking the time to go inside and see it with my own eyes. It was right there, and though it’ll be rebuilt, I would never be able to see and feel how it once was myself. This video allowed me to at least get some feel for what it was like, and for that I thank you, Destin.
Wow that timing
Hopefully it will be back to it's normal form.. I'm glad I went there a few years ago after living in France and finally got the chance to go inside.. lesson is, try not to miss an opportunity when it's in front of us.
Thank you Destin for this video. You just don't know the impact it had on me: I'm French, I live in Paris, and when Notre Dame went down in flames I had the privilege as a police officer to enter the still smoking cathedral the morning after. Since that day I haven't been back there and avoided watching images of it cause it hurts so much. Therefore, thank you so much for taking me back inside before the disaster !
And yes, your voice counts ! It really does. Thanks for all the learning and discovery on your awesome channel !!!!!!!
Same for me, watching from the USA... My heart was crashing down with the roof. Such a beautiful house of God. I will likely never get to see it in my lifetime, but I felt it as well.
I’m so grateful for your channel and work. Love the material, perspective and heart and soul of your work.
“Gly”: Absolutely brilliant video! As a creator myself I’ve struggled with this very same issue. Thanks for bringing it to light. Take care.
Whats a "gly"?
It's his name. He's got an awesome CZcams channel where he explores old mines and old mining towns. It's really awesome and got me to do some of my own exploring around Utahs many old mining towns and sites.
I've never had an Instagram account, I've tried TikTok for a few minutes and hated it, and my Facebook account, which I've had for about 10 years, I rarely use. What I've noticed is that all these platforms want you to do is consume and keep them on their platforms as long as they can. But what's worse is the algorithms they use to impose an opinion on you, whether you realise it, or not. The reason I rarely use Facebook is because I did notice what was trying to be pushed down my throat and I don't like it. These types of platforms are dangerous and really set up echo chambers that take people down negative rabbit holes that turns them antisocial and as Destin says, it changes their voice. CZcams still has an element of that as well, but there is so much content like what Destin provides to learn and enjoy. His channel is varied, educational and, I believe, comes from a great heart without being hyperbolic or trying to assert an opinion, rather he encourages you to think for yourself, and that's what I like.
Anything owned by Meta(FaceBook) is a bad idea, TikTok sucks, I could write an article on everything I hate about it. But their is more platforms and most of the other ones are not bad, CZcams is going downhill with stuff like removing the dislike button, but it’s the only good option. I don’t like Twitter because of its community but that’s purely just my opinion. There is a new platform called GETTR that is like Twitter but it’s trying to stop canceled culture instead. Discord and Reddit seem to me like the places to go, Reddit divides itself into countless communities so if you don’t like the community just find a new one. Anyways that’s my 2 cents on these social media platforms,
Tiktok it brain cancer.
Whats really scary is how Facebook promotes conflict because conflict promotes engagement.
You hate tik tok until the algorithms start only showing you exactly what you wanna see.
Destin. This has hit me hard. Thank you, my life was turned upside down because I lived to what I thought people wanted to hear. I am getting better now but hearing you speak in such an inspiring way about what you love has mad eme get up and be productive again. Much love from the UK
Do the next right thing Dale.

I'm SOOOO HAPPY! I was able to go to Paris before the Notre Dame fire and was able to see it inside and out. One of the best parts was feeding pigeons outside the cathedral with my wife. It really is a special place of European culture and history and it should absolutely be preserved as close to original as possible.
I think there are a few places where they actually managed to find the right balance between "keep it as original as possible", which in my opinion should be the first goal for such a historic building, and on the other hand, put in whatever is needed to acomodate large numbers of visitors.
And to be fair, some change (minor ones) is ok. It is not like nothing ever changed in the 900 years before based on needs and new technology (I guess the building initially had nothing prepared to put in electric wires etc., lights, heating, whatever)
Thank you Dustin. Thank you for putting into words what so many of us have felt in this weird age of mis/disinformation competing with real facts. I appreciate your voice, your opinion, and your insight on the matter. Keep doing what you do, because you truly do make the world smarter every day :)
I really love how you applied the "don't lose your voice" to yourself at first, then circled back with tying the message to Big CZcams. Your video really drove that point home.
I recently visited Paris and when near Notre Dame, I couldn't help but be moved to tears with the detailed photo gallery of the damage that they had on display. It really is beyond belief that the cathedral is still standing at all. The photos available on the internet don't really do the damage justice. The team working on the cathedral are heroes in every sense of the word. I know we apply that label to a lot of things these days, however, it takes people of heroic courage to have entered and worked on that structure after the amount of damage done.
I personally hope they make it as it was, recognizing that it will be impossible to recreate everything, but as you said, it's really not my say and others get to make that decision.
I love how educational CZcams
Unlucky if i cant see dislikes i cant know, video is good or not when i watching tutorials 😞
Thank you for this! I totally agree: we have something magical here on CZcams right now, and I enjoy it everyday. Things are always changing, but I really hope we can hold onto this as long as possible
And that's a main reason why I subscribed to you. I love how you investigate something. So far, my favorite is the supersonic canon.
One of the reasons why I have primarily turned to CZcams over cable television is of channels like yours where I feel like I can be entertained, but also walk away having really learned something new. Every 6 months or so I do a youtube cleanse and look through my subscriptions and remove subscriptions that interested me in the moment, but are just filler content in the now. Your channel never gets removed. Its very refreshing that you are being blatantly introspective of your content creation. Just do you! That's what your viewers are here for.
CZcams has the type of videos that cable will never provide. I'd like to try Nebula as it seems to fulfill the role CZcams has in my life but I try and stay away from subscriptions. Maybe in the future I'll justify it. CZcams being free also has allowed people to try different things without crazy startup costs and knowhow. If Destiny's only option was to convince a production studio to allow him a TV show we'd never have SED. And if CZcams devolves into pushing shorts and hiding long-form content then we won't ever get the "next" SED. Who wants to create a long standing educational show on tiktok or Instagram? Nobody. But ads can be shown and data can be tracked. I hope CZcams pushes back on the idea.
Hi, I'm Emilia. Can you guess my age and nationality? Hom😊
@@mafia5509 Age: mid-2020 bot update? Nationality: Russian?
I agree about Notre Dame; most of the reason people want to visit is to see that time capsule; how all the parts of such a building encapsulated a period of time in France and Europe's history, and the relationship the Catholic Church had with art, architecture, and civil engineering.
When you randomly change bits of it to have modern art, you lose part of the spirit of the cathedral, what makes it what it is.
Hasn't ND literally been changed and altered through the past tons of times though ?
Nobody really said anything about those instances. It just occured and anyone adapted to the alterations as still representing the " original " entity.
Ya no, Notre Dame is very much a living and changing edifice. It has endured many ravages of history from wars and uprisings to the slog of time, and if it weren’t for Victor Hugo it might have been torn down entirely.
I personally think it should have been slightly changed and updated after the fire. There is nothing more Notre Dame than an update after turmoil.
Hi when is turning pi2 vid coming?
France becoming slowly but surely a muslim territory and you can tell by living here that people are more and more looking to copy and spread north African culture . That's why in some city like Strasbourg or Marseille it's always easy to find cash for a new mosque rather than refreshing to identical an old and lesser attractive over time church or cathedral .
it encapsulated the whole period of time between the 12th century and today, it has never stopped changing over the centuries. If people visit it and think it hasn't, they're missing the point
Thanks Destin I need that occasion enlightening ideas throughout the year! Merry Christmas from Hong Kong
Fascinating and a little initially depressing to see all these sights swarming with people where they were not so much 100 years ago. I wonder if that is down to population growth of the shrinking globe brought about by cheaper air travel. Then I see your bit about actually experiencing these places in the flesh, and I realise that yes, they may not look as pristine, and spacious, but they were built to be enjoyed in person, not simply seen in photographs, and I realise that even though they are disfigured by the swarms of people, the democratisation of international tourism has enabled these places to be enjoyed as they were designed to be enjoyed.
The internet: “let’s get people hyped about digital NFTs!!”

It is telling that one of the biggest media phenomena of the year is Get Back, the Beatles documentary based on a cache of film footage. It is an amazing piece of history, like being inside the group during their final months together. So much of the video and digital era will be lost.

Love your voice Destin!
On top of this, I want to add the recent move by CZcams in making the like/dislike buttons irrelevant.
This has been a terrible move, which will open the doors to click bait videos, bad content overall which we could just skip looking at the like/dislike ration.
As I'm pretty sure CZcams uses the likes as a key element for their "algorithm", I'm now protesting to make it irrelevant for them as well by not liking or disliking anything anymore.
Unfortunately this might hurt some of the creators I follow in the short term, but hopefully if more people do it, we might get our voice back as a viewer.
Well put. Perhaps we can shift to just commenting "like" or "dislike" for a bit.
@@isaacislaughter or have people makes comments with people saying "like my comment if you disagree" either way works
Aaand this is the point where I'm not just subscribed but also enabled all notifications. I like when a content creator stops/reduces clickbait and focuses on doing quality content without really caring about playing the algorithm.
Awesome Job to Matthew for recreating the exact angle and everything. Truly has an artistic eye! Thats amazing
You won my subscription when you said you aren’t going to just do what the algorithm wants. Well done sir, well done.
Exactly the moment I dropped my like. 😀
DogCarMan me too.
Destin: don't lose your voice.
CZcams: active noise cancellation is on.
I love how genuine this channel is.
Wow! I am glad I watched that whole thing. Your message near the end there is what we all need to hear! My channel is extremely tiny compared to yours, but this helps me. I just got an Insta360 Go2 so I can do shorts easier than I can with a GoPro. But after this I do think I am going to make sure and not, as you say, lose my voice. My shorts will be mainly to promote my main channel content or channel in general, not a replacement for it. Thanks for this and I do hope CZcams listens and makes sure they keep true to the platform and don't evolve to another TikTok.
I was part of a choir that sang the Ave Maria in that cathedral and the acoustics and experience were amazing. No mics, no speakers, just the reverberation of our voices into an otherwise fairly dark space.
The walkthrough brought me right back to walking into that cathedral and the shift into a darker, hushed yet cavernous space.
I agree with you. Don't sell out! Make videos for you and if viewers don't appreciate it, that's their problem. When the viewers pay you directly a substantial amount, then they can complain. As long as the content is free, viewers should take it or leave it, and since you did not make the content for any specific viewer, the criticism of some random stranger on the internet with entitlement is a serious mental disability. Not all viewers are reasonable and respectful no matter what you do. Make the videos you want to see and nurture the viewers who appreciate your hard work. Everyone else is an unnecessary distraction and their delusional self-entitled and self-important opinions are of no value to you.
Right? Well said!
"the criticism of some random stranger on the internet with entitlement is a serious mental disability. Not all viewers are reasonable and respectful no matter what you do." Are you respectful by saying that? Your opinion feels a little bit like delusional and self-entitled...
@@arnohakk114 Not at all. Politely calling out people being rude, or supporting someone who's being attacked by another with an obvious mental disability isn't “self entitled”, it's just facts. The fact that you feel personally hurt by his comment suggests to me that you owe someone an apology. I'm not rude on the internet unless someone earns it, and even then, I stick to facts, ergo, I'm not the least bit hurt by his comment. I've met people with obvious mental handicaps who are very rude and your hesitation to call it what it is just enables the problem.
@@wilfdarr Actually, I was just suprised how she is devaluating people for insulting which is like doing the same thing as she complained about... I did not insult anybody, so no apology needed I guess?
@@arnohakk114 First: Devaluating isn't a word.
Second, the difference is that the people HE (Carey can be both male or female: in this case he's a man) is speaking of habitually devalue others [hard] work, while this person is being critical of their need to unnecessarily and habitually belittle others. If you can't see the difference between the two, there's something wrong with you. They are not the same thing.
Man, You definitely are on the right track. I'm happy to support your channel to stay the same. I love learning and I don't really like the way things are going.
Very well said Destin, Stay Original as you always do. Thank you for making us aware about these things!
To be fair, the length and depth of the Smarter Every Day videos is one of the reasons I love watching them.
I'll always choose a thorough explanation of a subject over a quick snippet of information a la TikTok.
Keep doing great work, Destin.
I have always loved learning on “Smarter Every Day “. Do Not do short mindless videos. You have covered some of the miracles of life. Keep it up Justin.
Totally agree, well put.
(Side note, autocorrect might have got you - did you mean "Destin" at the end there?)
@@oogalook yes
I adore the "Think!" advice of yours, Destin. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Destin, I really appreciate your work, have a great day😊
I appreciate you not catering to an algorithm and actually creating authentic content. Don't ever change. We need more content creators (and people) like you.
Your videos on social media disinformation ... your science videos... all of them. Phenomenal.
This is so insightful. Owning your voice is important on youtube. Thanks for making this video!
The funny thing is many other "science" channels have already succumbed to it
Hard to have “your voice”… when YT censors those who step out of line😒
Its important every man
Corporations being able to buy your voice and use it to sell product is the only benefit you get from using the internet in this way. We are all no nobody on the Internet by design. Corporations are trying to change that model so they can profit from it. Not so you can have more voice. The Internet is meant to be "EVERYONEs" voice. Not just the highest paid most commercially viable voices curated to us by the Corporations that for all intents and purposes, own them.
It blows my mind how people as smart as Destin, and the people he regularly associates with, could get the Internet so completely wrong. And fall so easily for corporate "gifts".
@@ZennExile its because he lives in a privilaged bubble and has never been censored or had his content taken down without any reason or recourse like so many others have experienced.
Hi Destin. I'm late to this video but just wanted to say thank you. You've always made interesting and valuable content and I'm glad you are resisting the 'trends' and trying to stay true to 'your voice'. Great video, love the old photos and your insightful messages, keep up the great work.
Dustin, great subject. The way I see it, CZcams is today the best Tv content channel, anywhere in the Globe. Everyone can choose what to watch and at what time. With Smarter Every Day and some other youtube channels, I learn and have fun, leaving my Tv… for movie purposes only. Keep your voice please… we just love it!
This is the kind of content that keeps CZcams ahead of other brain candy platforms who don't respect your attention. Thank you Destin and it was lovely seeing Matthieu join you
As soon as you started talking about images and how they affect our perception, I perked up.
I'm a photographer, majored in photography some 30 years ago, and studied the history of photography then. Its interesting once you note how our perception of events is activated by photography, and yeah, its even more fascinating when you realize how much 'data' was captured in those early glass plates. (Only to be partially lost by the ravages of time)
Just as important is the fact that how we capture images changes what we decide to shoot. 150 years ago, you didn't shoot images of your lunch, because it took too long to set up the shot, you had to coat a plate in order to shoot it, and you had to prioritize what you shoot.
On the other hand, *everyone* is a much better photographer than people were 150 years ago. Not just because of the tools we have, but because we can constantly shoot images and get better. We also shoot more images of each other when we're happy, which affects not only how we see ourselves as a people, but how we feel worse when we're sad... because everyone else 'seems happy'. Right?
Again, talking about images and perception is my thing. Thanks, Destin.
What a wonderful video, full of enthusiasm and thought provoking discussion. Plus, it was so much fun to pause it and look closely at how the locations have changed and remained the same through the decades. While doing this I noticed that the modern picture of the Arc de Triomphe is taken from the opposite side from the old picture. The bas relief sculture didn't look the same so I virtually walked around the Arc using Google Street View (we truly do live in the future!) and discovered this. It's amazing how much deep information and data is at everybody's fingertips. Smarter Every Day and Mathieu Stern are adding to that depth of easily accessible knowledge. Thank you!
Thanks for your efforts to highlight the positive aspects of CZcams, over the race to the bottom. As you have so clearly explained.
I love this video. You are so right about everything. That’s exactly what my thought were about these changes within all these social media platforms. I feel like they want us to be a sheep and jump from one place to another for their own benefits.
First one
Edwin keep doing what you like with Gasparito, and don't mind the algorithm you have a great community.
Greetings from France 😁
Hey Edwin
dont comply,, everyone is fed up with u tube
Love your content bro!
" I want you to think when you watch a SmarterEveryDay Episode"
That is exactly why I watch your videos, be it Carburators, Laminar Flow or even Baseball Vs Mayo, I end up being intrigued by every video I watch.
Thank You so much Destin! Your ideas are beautiful and so is your channel.
Thank you. Physical artifacts that preserve and promote memory are so key to our rituals of remembrance. Preserving our memories is key to preserving our voice.
Fantastic Work!
Great points--and Thanks for taking us to Paris.
Cheers!
Just last year during the pandemic I took the time to scan and restore my grandfather's slide photos, and he happened to have a whole set of really interesting sights from Paris in 1959 and 1963, as well as other locations around Europe. It was a really fascinating process not only in the technical details of photo digitization and restoration, but also discovering moments and stories from the past that I had never heard about from my grandparents when they were alive. This video conveyed some of that excitement for sure.
Much respect. You're one of the few with integrity.
Hey Destin! (Iate to the party, here!). I’m fairly new to your channel but I’ve also been watching some of your older stuff because, well, because of your “voice”. I personally do not think you have lost your voice any or that your voice is compromised when comparing 2, 3, 5, even 10 years ago (shout-out to Rupert and Barack) to today. Obviously, you evolve in some ways when it comes to the production and whatnot but you still seem to be YOU.
Anyway, THANK YOU for reminding me of the things that are impactful in life (i.e. 35mm film vs digital, ha) and for helping me to become smarter every day!!
New sub. Some of the best content I've seen is the silent 'how to' videos, not even music. Very informative stuff with excellent filming.
I have been hitting that same wall on whether to follow my own voice or chase what the platforms want. CZcams should be fun and I want to keep it that way. Thank you for putting this out as I felt it was less a choice and more a necessity. Make what you love!
I could agree more!
Never expected to see argo here but anyway
Hear hear!
Nice to see a fellow Brony.
and the thing is, there always the chance that both will go hand in hand at some point. Algorithm will sometimes just choose a video to popularize, could be yours next
Thank you for staying the course. I personally believe that the short content trend is negatively impacting people’s attention span. My line of work doesn’t allow for such traits but it’s a constant struggle when I train new and younger people. As for the pictures; I have always viewed stills as snapshot in time that cannot be repeated. It captures things in that instant and if you look hard enough it will reward you with immense detail. By far my favorite and most rewarding form of record.
Thank you Destin for being honest and open with your thoughts
As someone who has used most social media platforms, I couldn’t agree more that CZcams is net positive. I often feel I need to take a break from Instagram and facebook for mental health. CZcams on the other hand helps me expand my world view and learn. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows here, but it’s the best we got! Thanks for encouraging the company to keep it that way!
this guy is the most wholesome creator on youtube
this video could also be titled 'how to not be a grifter'...so many youtubers, creators, political commentators completely change who they are for their audience, and once I realize they are doing that, all my trust is lost for them.
thank you for being one of the good ones
Idk if he is the most wholesome. To be *most* wholesome I think he should have steered clear of the US military. Making them out to be an organization children should uncritically admire is problematic.
exactly how i feel, destin is goated for not selling out to the corporatization
@@norezenable i agree with that but on the whole i think his channel is good. plus he supports smaller channels and doesn't even advertise it. found out about him through a smaller channel he is a 'mega patron' of
20:59 - This isn't surprising to me, and it's why YT is still my fave platform after 13 years of use. Even with its changes over the years (most of which I haven't really liked), it's better than any other video/social platform. I have learned *so much,* and I've enjoyed learning it!
@Can Nam"Dog nuts" is too scientific -- explain in layman's terms 😀.
Which video platform is better?
Completely agree with you. It's my favourite as well despite all the obnoxious yet hilarious comments in YT!!!
CZcams is by far the best platform for educational content along with engaging comments. It's sad to see a whole new generation wasting their precious time and mind watching 10 second long brain-dead TikTok videos all day long with little to no educational value. It's fine for a few minutes of entertainment now and then, but frankly it's just a bunch of BS from what I've seen.
Amazing. I had this preconception of what I thought the message of the video would be based on the title and thumbnail and even hesitated to watch for a moment… but then totally blown away. Now deep in thought thinking about the topics wishing I had someone here now to talk about it with!
I been watching this channel for a while now. I would say that you have gotten more seasoned in your presentations of things and also being around longer will also have a better chance that we will come back. Always enjoy your thoughful informative content.
Shorts are fast food but long form is a home cooked meal. Yes fast food is popular, but it cannot beat moms cooking. It doesn't make you feel good in the long term, that's why I think there will always be a spot for long form videos here on CZcams. Shorts is just an answer to where the attention market is moving towards, and I am not immune to this. Destin you said you are resisting but are not closed to shorts. I am a noob but I can personally vouch that there is value in converting a long form video into a short. It is like distilling an idea to its purest form, it shows whats important, and is just another tool in content creation.
Accurate comparison! On point.
I like and agree with the food comparison. I hadn't considered that aspect or possibility of using shorts in that way- as sort of a condensed blurb or, perhaps, even as a preview, teaser or trailer for the full length videos, or just quick, fleeting, passing thoughts or observations on the go.
Well said! Absolutely agree!
In some aspects I like to equate shorts to, if you've read or heard of Kantian philosophy, Kantian lower pleasures and long videos to Kantian higher pleasures.
Shorts are like snacks/ junk food, while longer form videos are the main course. Like snacks, shorts are fine in small amounts, but are addictive and unhealthy if they become all you consume, as they are shallow and don't go in depth.
I've had immense respect for you for years, Destin, and it has only grown in hearing your thoughts around maintaining your channel's identity and on your plans in the face of platform pressures. Thank you for doing what you do and how you do it.
Also, all of France groaned when you tried to pronounce Arc de Triomphe 😂.
Thanks Destin! This is one important and heart-warming topic. It is really a conflict to pick what one wants to embrace and what one throwaway while there is a need... like need to survive, more money, fame, etc...
I love your love of graphs. You've made me realize how useful they are.
I love how this entire video Destin is talking about staying true to who you are while playing music by someone who composed for a game about staying true to who you are that helped me rediscover my voice to stay true to who I am.
Layers, people. Layers.
