What do you mean by "it won't work"? What you do is make interesting videos about coming up with answers. So far, all of the videos I've seen of yours actually *have* an answer in them. But your brand name isn't "answer". It's not "answer at the end of the video showing how we got there." It's "answer in progress". If you make a video and do not have an answer by the end, and you call that "part 1", I will probably be happy with that. I mean, I'm sure somebody could make an "answer in progress" video like that which I wouldn't like, but I don't think that somebody is any of you all. Your "answer in progress part 1" video will at least show what you're attempting to figure out, how you're attempting to figure it out, and how that turned out. And that's exactly the videos I'm here for. As such, I think you may have an unrealistically high bar for your videos "work"ing. Granted, I'm just one viewer. But from a lot of the comments I read, I don't think I'm alone on this. I'll admit there are also some videos of that format that I wouldn't be interested in. I could imagine Spectate Swamp making an "answer in progress" kind of video where he starts out asking the question of whether there are aliens, and the whole video is spent with him stomping about in the woods, turning over rocks, and watching leaves fall at distances significantly different than his camera's focal length. I can imagine that because I've seen it and I'll never get that hour back. I don't want to go there again. But I'm confident that y'all will have a question you can plausibly answer and a method for actually finding that answer. That doesn't mean you'll always get an answer, but it should always result in you having content for the channel.

That may have some consequences. We haven't been doing this for long enough to really understand exactly what it does to us without actually performing human subjects research. There have been multiple human subjects research studies that have been performed, but many of those seem to be evidence for "the politics of whomever funds research skews the results of the research." A lot of different organizations have done studies and those performed by industries favorable to the dairy industry have very different results from those performed by groups that were already opposed to the dairy industry before they started doing any research. There might be some research that has been done by groups that don't already have an opinion. However, it can be difficult to identify those, especially since they all attempt to portray themselves as impartial. Note that I cannot myself run a study to have one be done impartially, because I myself am not impartial. The bit where I'm not getting on a soapbox and arguing for my opinion is due to my preference for science and knowledge. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't subconsciously skew the results.
