- With all the CZcamsrs quitting lately, you might be worried about who is next. Well, it ain't me! I do need to make some changes though.

CZcams is forcing everyone to use the premium pay as you go. As far as I know they will now pay you for all the ads I blocked or skipped before. So you might be getting more dosh on that front.
same here, I'm hoping creators are actually seeing a notable uptick since I am 100% sure we are not the only one's who shilled out for YT premium just because it's not worth hunting after working add block versions, dealing with the intentional slow downs ect ect @
Keep sponsorships as moral people are boycotting/blocking yt adverts and their profit making services! They said they couldnt underpay females so checked when they found out men where under paid by 30% they said ah thats ok we dont need to fix that! 😒
You should see all the bloggers on here they take their 5 staff on their "road trip" LOL
Count my support in before we only get only streamlined and shallow infotainment (probably by AI) ;-)
Done! Good luck Nick. Awesome channel 😊
I am going to be honest. 90% of your videos taught me something new, 100% of them were entertaining.
Ditto on that. (Me too).
same here
Indeed. His video on Hawking Radiation always comes to mind coz it made me accept that, unlike my bias for them, black holes aren't forever.
Good to know, thanks!
I 100% agree with this!
Thanks Nick for all you do in the science community here on CZcams.
As a random viewer, I'm going to say thank you for supporting the cause! Cheers!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for not catering to the "average" person. We watch you because we don't want to watch what everyone else watches. My favorite videos you make are on stuff nobody else would watch. Also along those lines, I love it when your wife comes on and you explain things with her. You two are great together. The chemistry is just fun to see.
That is exactly why I stopped watching game theory many years ago, his transformation into "dadpat" (his words), basically ruined his content for me. I watched his content for videos like the companion cube and majora's mask theories, his channel became something entirely different that didn't mesh with my interests at all, it felt too watered down for me. I want that existential dread and dark humor, not dad jokes!
Yep, when you cater to the average viewer they tend to hang around for a few videos and then move on to the "latest and greatest thing". A few channels i have been a big fan of have gradually changed their content over the last few years. Nothing wrong with the average viewer either, i tend to follow a channel, here and there from time to time and lose interest after awhile, but I will always support channels that are doing their own thing, like Asylum.
Thanks! I could feel myself slipping away and I had to stop it before I became cookie cutter.
@@ScienceAsylum I love your content just the way it is, I've shown it to my family and friends as the topics you cover perfectly blend with my own interests, I greatly appreciate the content through time, commitment, effort and your love for science has created, I have a lot of respect for you. Stay crazy. ✅ This isn't a para-social thing or anything, I just wanted you to know that your work is appreciated is all.
I completely agree, I watch Nick because he is an amazing teacher and because finding content like his on CZcams is impossible!!
please protect this channel at all cost ! 🙏
This channel is a national...nah...planetary treasure. Been with you for a long time and support you as I'm able. You rock. Also: To the Timeline!!
Yes, planetary. 👽
Celestial. Multidimensional. Cross-multiversal - is that a thing? 😂 💎 gem
If you would quit 50% of the quality science CZcams would be lost 😔
You should be crazy to prefer to be an educator rather than a businessman, and that's why I love this channel!! So, keep going!!
Thanks so much for all these years of knowledge and fun! Stay crazy and awesome :-)
Wow, thanks!
Change 1
I understand where you are coming from. I am a Patreon Science Asylum member and I want you to know, that I do not, in ANY way, mind your sponsored segments. You do it in a rather unobtrusive and ethically salient way, it's inherently skippable, and its a structured way to further support some of my favorite content on the net.
Unless it's morally objectionable to you, I support your unique use of Sponsored content all the same. Please do what you love and educate those who would otherwise have no means to do so by any means.
Absolute integrity move here, massive respect. I can say I have never minded your sponsored segments so I wouldnt have minded if you kept it up.
You have taught me so much and shown me ways of thinking that I never learned in my undergrad or masters mathematical physics courses, I am very thankful for that. You deserve the support!
Thank you, Nick! Your videos inspired me to continue learning physics. Keep them coming!
That's great! Thanks for sharing 🤓
Love your channel, hope it never stops. Always look forward to your next videos😎👍!
Holy cow! Thanks! 🤯
Bro doing work. Amazing.
wow i love your donations too!
How generous! 🎊 🎉
Thank you Nick for your great work on science education here on CZcams!
You guys rock!
Thank you so much! And thanks for appreciating my work.
Thank you for opening up and reaching out to your community! Your content does a huge service to the science education space on CZcams, and I sincerely hope more and more people will come to support your work financially. Wishing you all the best for 2024 and beyond 🚀
I’m a physics student and whenever I have a question in my head, you are the first channel that I check for an answer. Thank you for years worth of truly educational and entertaining content. Keep going Nick, wish you all the best. Love to you and AwkwardM from Turkey.
Me too!!
Thank you Nick for years of great content, for your honesty and for the decisions you made. It would be a loss if you stopped.
Folks that donate keep my faith in humanity alive.
Thanks for watching and for the support!
I've loved science asylum for years, and I'm eager for more of that weird content we all came here for. I don't care what everyone else likes, I just wanna hear about the weird stuff.
Good on ya! ❤
I remember watching the OG stuff, it's been a long time but I checked and I remember watching videos from 10 years ago like "what is energy really?" And many others from that time. I was homeschooled and used many of these videos in my free time to help me get a better understanding of the concepts. I cannot overstate my gratitude to Nick for his deep and nuanced explanations of concepts, as well as his humorous presentation.
@@umbrakinesis2011 Oh, you've been around since the "dark" times.
@@ScienceAsylum Yes, the dog days of youtube when it was really awkward to use and loaded unreasonably slowly. Also, even if you were a bit cringe (to me) at some moments, it still was better information than I was getting from anywhere else, presented in a really engaging way that I really enjoyed, even as a teenager. And you've only gotten better at it! ❤️
Thank you for making physics and science in general more understandable for us "muggles"! And if it helps you make what you're doing sustainable, I don't mind you talking about sponsors at all. Much love from Germany
Holy cow! Thanks for the huge Super Thanks!
@@ScienceAsylum That's something I'd like to comment too.
I really don't like YT ads, (specially those in the middle), but I really don't mind seeing sponsored promotions! Sometimes I find myself entertained with the promotion and I think it's because of the same reason I kinda like them: because it's still you, Nick, passing the message, and we, the viewers, we like you. I find it fun to see how different creators adapt their way of communicating into marketing. It's still marketing, but the aesthetics of it remains of that person we like to watch and listen to. It's interesting and sometimes fun.
Anyway, I just wanted to reinforce that comment because maybe the majority of people don't mind sponsoring that much (like I said, I kinda like it), but you know, Nick, in the end we all want you to do what makes you more comfortable.
P.S.: just to exemplify, you might remember a comment I wrote once, that I was joyful to see you and a Brazilian youtuber that I like both promoting the same company (surf shark in that case) on what was for me, as viewer, the same day, and seeing you both maintaining your aesthetics during the promotion.
P.S.2: already a supporter on Patreon! Wish you all the success! Cheers from Brazil! ♥
Okay, you Patreon convinced me! This was compelling, so nice job. I've been following this channel since about 8k subscribers and it's been so great to see it rise after several years of relative obscurity, but there's never been anyone tackling these subjects in quiiiiite this way. So I'm on board. Just keep doing what you do!
Been watching for about 2 years, and its about time I support beyond likes on CZcams. Im joining on Patreon. Thanks for tons and tons of content, and probably the best explinations Ive ever seen of many concepts. ❤
Thanks!
Can't spare much at the minute, but every little helps - hopefully. Keep being crazy! Much love to you both from the UK
Thanks! Yes, every little bit helps.
I'm happy to support the channel! The content is top-notch quality, entertaining while educational, and the live streams are a great way to ask some questions I've been wondering about. I'm looking forward to the topics you are most interested in rather than having to try to appease the algorithm. That's also why I subscribe to Nebula, because there's a ton of great content on there and most of it could never work on CZcams. I've always believed that if I want something to exist, the best way to make that happen is to help fund it's creation.
Just joined Patreon knowing you needed more support, keep up your amazing work, you helped me so very many times. I'm sorry it took me this many years to start helping you back.
I noticed how the scale of production volume vs quality for this channel tips in toward quality and absense of ads in a lot of videos. I respect that. I don't make big money but have been supporting him on Patreon for 1 Euro monthly. Continuous contribution adds a lot more value than bursts of cash.
Nick, I've been subscribed for about 2 -3 years now, and have watched every science asylum video you've made. I have never been a member of any channel, nor supported on Patreon, I guess this is where it starts. Thanks for everything, the entertainment (gravity squirrel, timeline), and the AH HA moments especially!!
Thanks!
This is one of the best channels on CZcams. Good information. Well presented. I like your style of humor.
You are appreciated.
Thanks! I'm glad you like my work.
You are a great guy! 👍
Please continue with the wonderful work!
TOTALLY resonates with me! Throughout my career (as a scientist, educator, and creator), I have resisted the push to be a manager or spend my time doing business tasks like accounting that I find deadly boring. It's affirming to hear somebody as talented as yourself say this! In the end, we have limited time on this earth, and how we spend our days and talents matters. If there is enough money to pay the bills, then trading quality time and freedom for money is "so-what?" pointless.
Really great to hear that you'll be doing the type of video topics you love to do. I fully support that path and personally prefer it. Also, your enthusiasm for what you do is another vital part of its being sustainable. Glad you're sharing about struggles with that journey, as we're in some ways part of the journey and can help.
Thanks Marino!
Your videos are among my favorites -- literally every post is not only vastly informative, but also we entertaining as heck! I just joined your Patreon and can hardly wait for your next installment (and I *love* when your wife joins occasionally, she asks the questions I'd ask!). Stay crazy!
Told myself I’d never get out my CC for CZcams Spinsorship, Patreon, Buy me a coffee, etc.
But..
A) I love your content and enthusiasm.
B) This statement on making videos for the pure sake of educating regardless of the paralyzing blender of algorithm focused videos was spot-on.
Just be a good person. Say what you want to say / the way you want to say it. No overhyped, misleading thumbnail. No AI images.
Just two people (content provider - viewer) having a conversation like proper humans.
Thank you for all you do. My first (small) such contribution. $5/month.
Cheers.
I'm in the same boat. Now, I have purchased shirts and such from a very few select youtubers, but here will be my first Patreon subscription. His videos are the very best (in my opinion). Keep doing what you love Nick.
I was thinking about buying your book for my studies anyway. I'll do it now ;)
Keep doing what love !
Just subscribed to your Patreon. Your circuit energy flow and Time-Gravity videos completely transformed my understandings of the topics. The knowledge I gained from those two videos alone is absolutely worth the subscription!
I find many of your video's of very high educational value. The way you are able to explain subjects often makes it very understandable for me as a layman (laywoman) interested in physics. Thank you so much for making these. I wish I could support you, and I hope my financial situation will allow it at some point. Until then I'm grateful you share your knowledge! You're not weird to me at all, I perceive an honost, kind, curious, intelligent and funny person. That impression is solely based on your CZcams video's, I know:) But an impression still. Hug from Amsterdam to you and your wife
Thanks! You have awesome content. Hope you are able to keep it up for years to come.
Thanks! I hope so too.
Thank you for your service, integrity, and commitment to quality science communication. To support your channel a while back, I bought your book on theoretical physics and, as a physics professor, really enjoyed it and would recommend it to my students. Keep up the great work!
We love the work of you and your wife! Thanks from your crazy friend in Dublin! 👍
Dude, I'm broke. All I can afford is an upvote and a comment. I like your science videos, hope you can keep making em.
I'll take the upvote and comment, thanks! 🙂
Thank you so much for being an excellent science educator and for doing the right thing. I fully support your changes and have joined Patreon to support your efforts. With so many trying to cash in on AI junk channels, we need to support high quality channels like yours.
Been meaning to buy the book. Thanks for the reminder. :) Now take my money and keep doing the things you love, because I acquired a taste for your style on video 1 and haven't stopped loving your wacky but extremely detailed and accurate teaching style since. I love all your videos!
I love your videos and appreciate your integrity regarding your content. This has been one of the few channels that deliberately tries to demystify the peculiarities of physics, that presents information in a materialist way and breaks down metaphysical explanations. Thank you for your work and good luck!
Thanks! Good luck with the changes.
Thanks! 🤞
Just signed up for Patreon, sorry it took me this long!
You wanting to make the content you want to make is exactly the reason I'm here! I love this channel so much, thanks for all you do!
Subscribed to Patreon! We all want you to stay in this space but you need the money to do it. I'm happy to help you and the continuity of your channel. Love your work Nick!
I love this update. It is nice to see youtubers deciding to put the fun back into their work and embrace their passion without worrying about analytics
As a fellow CZcamsr, I feel the pain. Good for you. You gotta make the changes towards self-sustainability. There will always be a tension there between making a living and doing what you love, and there are always parts of every job that you won't like as much, but being creative sure beats working in civil service...although that's what gave Einstein the time he needed to be brilliant on the side.
Honestly, I find the videos people are passionate about the most fascinating. I love the fringe topics so I'm right behind ya, bring on the crazy!
Happy to subscribe to your Patreon, I love the decisions you have made to improve the viewer experience (even though I'd still love your videos regardless!) I also bought your brilliant book a while back.
Dziękujemy z Polski!
I remember watching your videos when I was 17. I’m 26 now with a degree in physics. I think your switch to not care about what other people think/click/view and instead do what you love = very inspiring
I love your tone and your unique way of finding explanations for us lay people. I really enjoyed your conversations with your wife too (sorry I forget her name), they flow naturally and the interaction between you is great, like how she starts with her prior knowledge and you go from there. All the best for the future and mad respect for letting go of sponsors!
More power to ya. I really admire that you're taking control of your channel and doing what you really want to do even if it means making less. There's a very small amount of people that would do that.
So glad you are staying on CZcams. We desperately need educators like you, Nick. The world needs to be much more lucid. And I will definitely buy your book! 🎉😊
Glad to hear you are doubling down on the kinds of great content you have always provided! For what it's worth, I know I'll keep watching whether or not you have sponsored segments, midroll, or start wearing a "MeUndies" T-shirt in all your videos 😂 Do what you need to do - we'll be here!
You’re videos are fantastic. I think you’re on the right track - it’s great to learn new things and viewpoints and ideas. Looking forward to more!
Keep doing you, Nick! The thing I've always loved the most about the Science Asylum is that it's YOUR perspective on things, and YOUR particular subjects of interest. A number of times you've touched subjects that I couldn't find answer to for years.
Hi!
I love your videoes and always had and always will, especially because you put so much passion in them.
I'm really glad that you have decided to try and worry less about the analytics, it's random and mostly about luck with the algorithm
I wish I could financially support you, but I'm currently unemployed so that has to wait. However, I will continue, watching, liking and sharing your videos, because they are really cool and interesting!
Thank you for your work!
- Clara
I really like your intuitive explanations on hard topics like general relativity! They help alot!
Glad you like them! A topic like GR requires a lot of thought to convey.
Best of luck Nick, and keep up the good fight! I'm sorry that I missed December's Patreon stream.
I love this channel so much! Please continue making weird physics videos, the weirder the better! I actually watched the planetary ring one and thought it was fascinating. I'll support you on Patreon. Don't go away!
Love that you are doing it the way you want! Patreon membership enabled!
Thank you!
You could talk about just about anything and be entertaining while also being educational. You are one of the few youtubers I really relate to in personality and demeanor. I'm happy to start contributing directly, so no sweat.
I really appreciate your honesty and transparency. I hope the viewer supported approach works out! I just became a patreon. Thank you so much for your absolutely brilliant videos! ♥
Your change 2 hits hard! As a fellow physics content creator, I understand the performance anxiety! Especially when they are sponsored ones! Keep it up, Nick. Maybe we can collab sometime!
It would be the BEST collab EVER.... my dream will come true...Mahesh, Nick could be your EInstein/Faymann!
Can’t do a regular thing but have this, great channel.
Thanks! Every little bit helps.
Dude no Mr Nick, I wish I could do something. I love your show so much, you're the best science show we have in South Africa.
Your style has clarified so much I was unsure about with physics - you are an educator and physics needs this style to be honest. Especially your myth busting
Been your subscriber since you had less than 2k subscribers. You are doing fantastic.
Your videos are educational / sometimes mind-blown and fun to watch !! Keep up the good work !
Thank you for your work.
I understand why you're doing this, Nick, and hope it goes well.
Wish that I could support you financially, but that's not an option for me right now.
Your videos are informative, educational, and entertaining, even if I can't always understand the topic every time! (I don't have any qualifications in physics, just an interest).
Best wishes to you, Emily, and the clones!
I completely understand. The hope is that some people can support for the benefit of everyone 👍
Nick you have a great educating style, keep the videos coming! :)
Thanks! I want to keep enjoying it.
Thank you for your videos! I’m sure following your passion and making the videos you feel more compelled to make will definitely pay off. As long as you’re living a healthy live, your work will reflect that!
100% happy to see you make the videos you WANT to make rather than chasing the subs - those are the videos I want to watch!
I’ve been thinking about buying your book, actually so yeah, sounds like a good reason to do that. I watch most of your videos twice, right now - once on CZcams (because it’s convenient) and again since I realised you’re on Nebula - because I like the ethos of what they’re doing and because they have some SUPERB content producers there. I really don’t want to subscribe on Patreon or CZcams though - if I subscribe to your channel, how do I justify not subscribing to one of the other 100 channels I regularly watch? This is why I think Nebula is such a great model.
I'm a masters student in astrophysics and your channel helps me a lot. Thank you so much for your awesome content. Love you from India. ❤
Glad I can help! Thanks for the support.
Do what you have to do Nick. Best of luck to you and Awk. 👍🏻
You're the best! You're absolutely a huge success in my eyes! Especially as an educator. I'm no slouch yet you constantly manage to impress me with new and interesting facts.
I'm glad you're doing things the way you want to. Keep it up, it's very much appreciated!
I've been loving your videos. such a fun way to learn about the universe, and you always seem to do a good job at balancing that fun while not getting too deep into the weeds on this. I love to learn new things and physics is always an interesting topic. I just want to say I hope you can continue doing what you love. WE appreciate it
Not a suggestion, just an observation: part of hiring a team can be hiring a manager. Indie bands hire managers for exactly this reason -- they want to focus on making music and not get bogged down in the business side of things. You would still be the director, able to focus on the creative side, and give your ideas to the manager to let them handle the details.
Again, just an observation. I would never presume to tell you how to do your own thing. I will support as I can, and I look forward to the content you have in store for us.
Nick. Do whatever makes you feel good and accomplished ( I hope it is the correct word...) we'll support you as far as we can . Best wishes for your 2024! LOL ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hell yeah!! I just found you trying to find out the science behind light, photons and cameras today, and got so scared as soon as I saw this as the most recent video! I'm so glad to find you, and excited to see more!!
Welcome to asylum 😉
My hat goes off to you for ditching the CZcams mid-rolls. I have *never* used them because all they do is annoy viewers. I made the decision to not use mid-rolls and my viewers appreciate that. I find it a little annoying that so many people constantly complain that CZcams is running too many ads when, in reality, the operators of monetized channels still have the option of disabling mid-rolls so it's actually creator-greed that is driving all those ad-breaks, not CZcams.
If all creators stopped and considered their viewers interests by ditching mid-rolls the whole CZcams experience would be a whole lot better -- for *everyone* and the reduced amount of ad-space would actually push the CPM/RPM up significantly so we'd even earn a little more for our efforts.
Yeah. I had them off for years, but then another creator convinced me to turn them on last July. I thought maybe I'd get comfortable with it, but I never did.
You are by far my favorite science channel on youtube. I have no education on science but ended up getting into it as a hobby and i teach myself everything i can by reading books. Whenever there's something im having trouble understanding you have a way of putting it in a simple term i can understand. Although i understand the need for sponsorships as a viewer i hate them. Ive never given anything on youtube before but you deserve all the support we can give you. Thank you for the years of education and stay crazy.
Thanks for the kind words about my work _and_ for that huge amount of support!
I admire your business decisions.. not following the algorithm. Follow your instincts.
Love ya Nick and this channel. Do what you enjoy and it will never seem like work. Stay positive my friend. We value what you do.
Thanks for your work. I always find something new to learn from your videos. Keep up your work the way you think is the best. Statistics are not what matters. It is tha passion you put into your projects. And this passion is clearly visible and makes your videos so unique and likable.
It's not much, but I am proud to be a new Patreon $1 level member (believe me, I'll up it when I can). I adore your work here and love your unique personality and take on things. Thanks for being one of the best science educators on CZcams!
Thanks for the support! The smaller the support, the more sustainable it'll probably be. I value the $1 pledges 👍
This is one of my favorite CZcams channels! Keep the high quality content! EDUCATE US! :)
I'm definitely going to support this channel. I've been watching it ever since my first introductions to physics. I'm definitely buying the book.
I want to see some better merch though. You have some amazing graphics that you make for this channel but I don't see them in your store!
Im happy to see that you're going back to making of those awesome videos! They are really informative and cool to watch and really, really well made.
You were the first person who taught me to mostly understand the double slit experiment
Glad I could help. Thanks for the support 🙂
Nick you are one of the best physics educators I have ever come across....keep going❤
Thanks! Will do!
I think you are awesome, and honestly you are a real inspiration to me. I think that embracing your creativity is the best idea of all! It shouldn't be about numbers or analytics in my opinion, that is such a detached way of approaching these things. Personally, I have been hesitating to make my first video for a bit since getting some recording equipment, however it really feels to me like it is time to make that leap. There has been so many talented youtubers who I thoroughly respect stepping away from the platform. Ultimately it makes me feel almost like the end of an internet culture epoch. Inevitably, where something ends there is an infinite possibility of beginnings.
Your presentation is the best in all you tube for a deep subject. Your channel is a work of love and art. You have educated so many of us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and congrats on taking a stand in favor of content.
Stay a little crazy my friend. I always watch your channel. You’re an excellent educator.
Nick, the membership thing may not work for me, coz I always have the deepest fear "if i die and forget to cancel, will it charge me till all black holes evaporate?" But I do want to support you because I got 3 years of free education from you. Here it is. And I will randomly do this in the future.
Thanks for the support! I appreciate what anyone can give.
Hi Nick! Your work here on CZcams as a science educator is greatly appreciated. Your videos have inspired me to make a few videos essays about reality myself. They are still in the works but I'll let you know when they are done so you can have a look see. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a fun and entertaining way and for being you!
Good luck with your video essays!
I love when you teach the history of physics. It got me obsessed and resulted in the career I'm in. I suggest you do that when you get the urge - it's truly phenomenal.
This is the only CZcams channel that explains physics without going into woo woo mystery land, what Nick teaches here is directly taken from an advanced physics class with real equations and solutions. Thank you so much
Pbs space time also has this attribute
Love your work please don’t quit ❤
Well, I can't remember how long I've been watching your content, Nick, but all of it has interested, intrigued or educated me. Sometimes all at the same time.
But I'm really into science geekery anyway. Some of my favourite channels include STEM ambassadors like Physics Girl, PBS SpaceTime, Up and Atom, Tibees, Dr Becky, Numberphile, Sixty Symbols, Chemical Force, Nile Red and whatever Kyle Hill is calling his channel these days (I subbed to that one when it was Because Science).
I love your approach to explaining stuff; I love your casual attitude to the safety and wellbeing of your clones; I love how often you feature a skwirl in your content; and I love that you openly embrace how mind-bending and counterintuitive some of this stuff is.
