GRAPHS BONUS VIDEO!

I don't usually go through Patreon. Like, I throw money at people who deserve it and I just sleep better or something. Your videos however have become some of the few types of content I actually seek out and consume, absolutely ignoring my 5k+ mailbox of unread Patreon posts. Thank you for taking the time to make something visually appealing while also being so absolutely entertaining. Please keep making videos, and feel free to take your time to do so. I just felt I had to say this, and to thank you. Hope the cake was delicious <3

The implied authority of data video. Also known as "A Meausred Response to 'When am I gonna use this in real life?'"

Neander-told-ya-so! (been dying to use that joke literally anywhere)

Stephen Gillie

May be you need to use something like Python notebooks for visualization, then capture the screen and somehow mix it with your videos. Plugging JSON data to video editing software is clearly using an instrument that barely suits the task. IMHO.

Robert Socal

This video, especially the part where you jump up and level a revolver at the screen before summarily executing me, made me spit out my tasty beverage. This occurred more often for me over the course of viewing this video than it usually does. I made this graph to prove it too! Just kidding. I'm exceedingly lazy. Besides, it's the thought that counts. Well done. xD

aaaa thank you!

Hbomb

it is!

Hbomb

I'm late to this video, but I hope that the choice of not ZERO-INDEXING YOUR GRAPH was intentional, and something you will talk about in your future video about graphs. Otherwise, you are dead to me 😬

David Chatenay

I was so curious about this video after you hinted about it in the War on Christmas Response video that I became a patron just to see it, and I'm not disappointed! You're right, it's some great work, and I'm excited to see more videos like this!

Nathan Orck

At the end of your updated War on Christmas video, you half-joked about how this video is probably the best video you've ever made. And honestly, I have to agree. This video is excellent. I'm also super excited for your implied authority of data/revealing your trick of the graph in the war on Christmas video.

Rupour

If you're wondering who keeps coming back and watching this video like once a week, hbomb, it's me. I am the one who is doing it. This is possibly my favorite video of yours, because of how much I love visual representations of data.

As a scientist who's job is to find interesting ways to visualise their data using graphs (in R), I highly appreciated this video &lt;3 .

i fucking cackled till my sides hurt at the cake gag

Upscale Furry Trash

This video should be public!

Pavel A

i love this video and how it's probably the most rapid-fire thing you've made! I'd love to see more of this contrast between the more methodical [x] is [onion] n here's why, this, and the slower reaction stuff!!!

gardenofdelete

I love graphs. Visualizations, and maps which show data like a graph (incidentally I went to school for this last bit so I am bias). So this video is a sold 10/14 or a perfect 5 out of 7 (a 7 out of 7 would be like a -2, don't ask) from me. The bit about JSON files was particularly interesting to me because now I want to know what the fuck a JSON file is, how I use it, and how I could personally replicate this effect because of my nonsensical love of data visualization. As another aside, there are a lot of books written on that subject and you managed to capture the essence of it in a relatively short video with a great table gag.

Aaron M

As someone working in Business Intelligence (Corporate Graphs), this makes me very happy.

https://www.livescience.com/45083-misleading-gun-death-chart.html I'm surprised this one didn't come up, though it's not exactly a complicated way of misrepresenting the data. New patron, thanks for the videos my dude! I'm in quarantine alone in Sydney and it's great to have new videos. Good luck with star wars

Book_freak

i may have backed you mostly for this and to be a part of you having to defend the prequels. thank you for these opportunities. i am very thankful

Will Bower

I paid money just to see this video and it was a very good cake thank you

Duck

I became a patron specifically to watch this video, and it was totally worth it. I'm a grad student currently studying education policy analysis, and this video sounds like what my brain does when I have been drowning in data analysis for too long—there are lots of images, things move quickly, GRAPHS, I eat cake with my hands,

Hey dude. I really appreciate your work.

Danny F. Mainville

1) That's a really good point. I think I'm going to try to keep that up as well, so people still know how to go looking for data and read papers and studies, but produce my own visuals when something really matters or it lends an air of professionalism 2) Someone sent it to my PO Box! I have no idea!

Hbomb

I have two thoughts about this that are winning out over the rest right now: 1) I think the raw graphs and tables were interesting because it not only lent authenticity to what you were saying, but also because there was a low key level of "hey, btw, this is how to read and understand tables" which had value imo 2) I really want that planet shirt, where did you get it?

alexis

Hi Hbomb, Nice video, Little disapointed to hear you're moving away from the raw graphs and data from research, but I do understand why you're doing it, I honestly just liked it because it felt more authetic and less manipulated, but I realise that it's just a batter of estetics as you'll still be using referenced matterial that we can read ourselves.

LeondeBowa

Also, In before everybody from RT you were gonna talk to dies of COVID19.

Tbh, I'm pretty much done with the show. I basically follow some fan art stuff and that's about it.

Can't wait for the rwby video :D

Conor Lynch

Asking the real questions.

Elizabeth Foster

Pete Asick

I get it. It's unlisted because the bit where you import Json into AfterEffects is hardcore adult content that'd get your channel blacklisted.

Jack Deeth

This was an awesome video!

Looks like I became a patron at the perfect time.

Screaming Vomit Man

Reminds me of a quote I saw the other day: "Numbers aren’t facts. They’re the result of a lot of subjective choices that have to be documented transparently and in detail before you can even begin to consider treating the output as fact. How data is gathered — and whether it is gathered the same way each time — matters." (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-its-so-freaking-hard-to-make-a-good-covid-19-model)

fuck yeah! graphs!

Ian Priest

Fantastic video and that AE tip is gonna save my life!

more graph/data visualization tutorials it was actually informative, thanks

I thought that reasonable-ist bear was gone forever why did you bring him back?

that was really good!! also i feel special now. disconcerting

Lars Arney

Wonderful video, loved it start to finish. We've got your back!

Hi Hbomb, cool video! If you're looking to make making graphs easier on yourself, consider looking into using the programming language R and ggplot. There's pretty great resources for making and animating graphs. This book is a good introduction https://socviz.co/ and you can use gganimate to get animated graphs https://www.r-graph-gallery.com/animation.html Just something to consider. Sounds like getting nice looking graphs in after effects is a bit of a pain and this might be easier.

Nathan

Pls say piss more in your videos thnx

We call them "figures" over here in USA

Jake Zydek

oh no, the milk graph bowl

Brendan Young

I didn't know what RWBY was so I googled it and the second sentence of the first review started, "Normally I'd feel weird watching something with female characters as protagonists..." So I know we're in for a treat. I have VRV so I feel like maybe I should watch it so I know what I'm getting into...? Is it good? I haven't watched an anime since... Yu Yu Hakusho,,, Rurouni Kenshin? No, that can't be right. Dragonball? Wait, Dragonball Z! What? They made more Dragonballs... Am... Am I old now? Anyway, I really just wanted to come down here to say that as an engineer that writes reports using graphs all day, literally all I do is "screenshot" the graph from whatever white paper I'm referencing and paste in my report. It's much easier than... whatever "adobe" is.

HiddenPineapple20

I'm liking the fast pace for these shorter videos. Did UpIsNotJump drop any tips, or were you just spending the day watching his videos?

Andrew H

you doing alright, harry?

(Gay) Rosencrantz

Fantastic work. I also want to shout out the time you take to explain facets of your craft. I don't always understand 100 percent of it, but even what I don't understand helps me be appreciative of the care you put into your work. Was this a fun detox in between bigger projects? It would be cool if these happened every-so-often, but not at the expense of the care you bring to your Measured Response/This is Why stuff.

Marie Cory

"this made zero practical difference, but made me feel smart!" - any time I use JSON

Ryan Elliott

Wait, we've got a RWBY video coming ?

Ipsin

I always imagined that you had a far nicer table in your kitchen.

Have you read the book How to Lie with Maps? Cause this is like the graphs version of that book and I really like it.

Alex Scranton

loved the video

Elad

As a statistics person, this makes me happy.

Trace Myers

First time, long time - I love this video :D I have a statistician housemate I wish I could show this to, but I'm currently in quarantine with Mighty No 19 - Solidarity &lt;3

Paul Michael Dorgan

As someone who constantly bugs his friends about how context matters so much more when looking at visual data, it kills me that I couldn’t share this immediately after I finished watching it... I’ll just sit here twitching until I can then, top notch job HBomb! Especially with your wrangling of After Effects and Premier!

Another interesting way that Bar Graphs can distort data is with relative increases. Minute physics brought this up with the example of two bar graphs, one showing a rise between 201 and 202 (obviously seems very small), and one showing a rise between 1 and 2 (an apparent doubling). Even though the ACTUAL data change is exactly the same the visual difference is amazing!

Vague attempt to sound smart and unique in a single line username

As a recovering video editor I feel seen.

Great video!! Also loved the flat earth shirt. Was it part of your homeless tweaker's shelter collection or did you buy it somewhere?

sssilppuri

Looking forward to the mentioned video! I think it's a very important topic, can't wait to use your future video as a source for my future workshop on the political use of graphs and data.

Spencer St. James

Oh god I love this

"manipulating" data implies we're tricking the data in some way. I prefer the term "molesting" data, because no self-respecting datum would ever try to say what Prager-U wants it to say.

I have two book recommendations for you: (1) The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Edward Tufte; and (2) Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten by Stephen Few. These books will help frame your future video because they lay out important do and don'ts for creating data visualizations, which are framed around revealing rather than obscuring data. Also, they will help you think about ways to improve your data visualizations in future videos.

getting over the plague here and yeah don't get it. it sucks. stay safe, stay clean, don't die. &lt;3

Grand Gobbo Barb

Honestly the visual gag with you jumping from behind the table caught me so off guard that that was all i could think about for the rest of the video

Look at this graph!!!

I actually had to pause the video just to double check, but you have the same demon table that I spent most of last night constructing. They truly are terrible to move. In any case, it's always fantastic to see the growth of creators and that's what I've always liked with you if how willing you are to go back to your previous work and say that you could have done better. Stay safe, and may Soybek be with you.

Was the cake tasty?

Jower

Cool! I bet you've already read this, but on the off chance you haven't, "How to Lie With Statistics" by Darrell Huff is an old (1954!) but short and very easy to digest look at ways stats and graphs can be misrepresented. Or I guess for anyone else who's interested in this topic.

Riina

My high school Psych class had a segment on how to mislead with statistics and data that changed my whole brain forever and I have flashbacks to my teacher debunking popular nonsense every time I see a bad faith youtuber use vague graphery. Awesome stuff, so glad to see you around again!

alicia

The puns were amazing XD

Too much cultural marxism made by a beh-tah.

Had a good chuckle t the cake jokeshttps://www.ted.com/talks/david_mccandless_the_beauty_of_data_visualization?language=en Highly recommend this talk on aesthetic data visualisation

Ashleigh Gurney

Incredible video, hope you're keeping yourself safe Hbomb, this virus isn't nice. I am self isolating in Italy at the moment and it's pretty lonely. Your video made my day.

Damiano Carretta

The table bit at the beginning was proper funny

Adobe Illustrator also has tools for creating accurate graphs, which you can then bring into After Effects for animation

Veronica Reeves

thank goodness for more content I can only watch your Dark Souls 2 video 100 times before my brain melts and I'm quickly coming up on #98

In fact without hand sanitizer, your skin is considerably more likely to dry and crack, exposing open wounds which provide direct access to viral infection. Your skin is a critical part of your immune system! So hbomb is wrong, moisturizing DOES help with infection CHECKMATE ATHEISTS

Glyph

As a motion designer, this was super entertaining to watch. Create Nulls from Path is great! (@ 8:43 - I wish expressions worked that way) I'm excited to see the newfangled graph animations in your future videos!

Veronica Reeves

Anakin got more love in this 12-minute video than in his entire diegetic life.

Valastrius

From having worked in a kitchen I can confirm that soap and hand sanitizer absolutely will destroy your skin if you don't moisturize, so please do! 👏⁠💦

Very insightful and fun video, thank you!

I really liked the brisk pacing of this one! It seems like you had a lot of fun with it.
