Just finished listening to the backstage from yesterday. Good work as always, and in following of your advice, ill have some playlist or another playing on a separate computer perpetually.
As for another thing you said in that video, im quite pleased to see your hard work paying off in the recent growth as well as the channel's expansion of recognition from outside of youtube. I personally have exposed some videos about particular historical subjects to my friends in real life and through social, but only 2 of maybe 10 have actually mentioned continuing to consume your content afterward, which we will take as it is.
You also mentioned twitter and discord, neither of which have quite the monetization power as this platform, but I would perhaps suggest that a few little drops of your intense wisdom on other platforms might boost the interactions with your account and bring more eyeballs to the youtube channel itself at least if shared on twitter (understanding that your time may not permit). You may even find some interesting results through youtube and twitter polls regarding various questions or debates you'd like to have discussed within your watchers.
Some other points, but this comment is long, so for today, I stop it here... God bless you. Thank you for the content, I just hope you have enjoyed this comment (if you did, please, share it), otherwise, leave a like, OR keep reading my other comments, if youre interested in my upcoming thoughts.
As always, I thank you heartily for reading, have a good time, and - ill see you next time. Bye.

The questions you brought up with your audience were plentiful in number, but I will try to address (from my perspective) some of those topics, which I took down in notes so that my comment would not be a continuous stream of thought regarding 2 hours of conversation.
(1) Why do I watch some videos, not others?
- I will start by clarifying that I am between the ages of 22 and 26, and the first video I ever saw on the channel was a Thuringians history lecture (from the youtube home-page algorithm), which, even though I did not have interest in directly, caught my attention by your relaxing voice and empirically truthful style of discussion. It was around 2am and I was looking for something to fall asleep to, and that for some reason held my attention for longer than I wanted it to. So its easy to find why I stayed to find more of your content, not knowing all that ive already missed.
- For a quick view of the playlists of yours that I have saved, I will list them (in order of how often i view, not my overall enjoyment); Vom Kriege , The Merovingians , Carolingian Empire , Medieval Aristocracy (almost finished with this one) , Q&A series , PhD Series , Maritime Republics , and the most recent addition of the Diadokoi.
- It is not any particular subject or underlying theme to which of your videos interest me most, as you say often, you cant understand any history without all of the context. However, my highest interest is in the pre-industrial eras all the way back to the dawn of Bronze-Age civilization (3kbc -> around 18th cent. AD). As far as the Catholic Tradition videos which you mention sometimes, they actually interest me far more than the average, but my walnut sized brain only allows me to understand very little at a time, and I feel as if I need to watch some of your other Tradition videos or ones about the continuities of roman spiritual practices in order to actually grasp what youre sharing.
- As for videos which I do not click on, or scroll past while searching for videos of yours to watch, I struggle (though i am convinced that it is important) to spend time in the non Afro-EurAsian content. This I eventually hope to get more familiar with, but as you said in the video released today, 'We cover the history of Europe/Eurasia, then the world, but there is a heirarchy' - or something to that effect. There is also the fact that I am indeed american, and so do have as much of a child-like curiosity when it comes to history which has already been badly and briefly explained to me. But rest assured, I am quite ready to have my pre-schwerpunkt understanding of my own country's history upturned and replaced with more methodologically sound conceptions than those given by modern schools. I havent mentioned it prior because its obvious, but for clarity's sake, time is a limiting factor as well, since the space in the day can only go to so many places, I am not even able to complete all the videos I'd like to in the span given, let alone those which are on the outskirts of my investigations.
(2) How can we share more effectively?
- In other places, I may or may not have suggested some things along these lines, but have forgotten them or have disregarded them as less effective than is becoming of your stature. In future, I may add another comment or edit this one.
(3) You mentioned that you have 'too many playlists, in a sense'. I wont assume that I understood wholly what you said, but I will briefly summarize my own experience on your playlists tab. There are a whole lot of entries, and its incredibly useful to have the same video in multiple playlists so that you can really see the hyper-linked nature of the whole span of content. It takes a large amount of scrolling, but they are aptly named, and well organized, not to mentioned updated frequently. There is very little negative I have to say about the playlists (other than lamenting the fact that i have not consumed even 1% of them), but then again I may have been completely off about what you meant by the words themselves.
(4) Why do I stay subscribed?
- Quite simply, I remain as a loyal listener because I see immense value in the knowledge that you constantly elaborate upon, it has helped me with college work, with personal historical discussions, and general expansion of schema for the subject which I hold as my passion.
- There is also a necessity to this sort of thing. A weaker man would have quit ages ago, but the fact that relatively low subscriber and following rates do not dissuade you, is a message to the world; that some things are true and factually sound, and that some topics are more worthy of discussion than others. Particularly, you lay out the facts as they are, as opposed to summarizing the topics and lingering on the emotionally satisfying portions of them, as is done by many in person and online. It is an encouragement to someone who feels as if they are (quoting the lion king) "surrounded by idiots" - if I may expand the quote; surrounded by those who will reject deeply studying historical concepts because it would take too much resource (time, research, etc), or because they are more emotionally attatched to the knowledge they already have. Not out of laziness, but out of personal preference - which seems to be the highest virtue of the modern day, according to the general public.
This is the longest youtube comment ive ever written, and according to google, the max character limit is 10,000.
God Bless schwerpunkt and may he finish this week in good health.
