Feedback on "Hamilton's rule is a lie is a lie"

Hey folks,

These feedback posts are normally reserved for the Adviser tier. But it wasn't a paid video, and the departure from the normal style makes me want extra feedback, so I'm opening this one up to everyone.

This was an unusual video in several ways.

1. It was an apology/correction video
2. It featured my face on camera
3. It did not feature a simulation

Here are my initial thoughts on these differences, but I'd love to know your reactions, too.

1. I'll continue to own up to mistakes when they happen, of course, but it goes without saying that I want to minimize apology/correction videos.

2. I included my face simply to give viewers something to look at, since there was no animated simulation. But I do think there were some other benefits. First, it makes the video feel more personal, which felt right for this particular video. And unexpectedly, it felt like the camera sharpened my delivery, making the video editing faster than editing together a mess of audio takes. These benefits are making me consider including my face (with better production value) during interstitial sections of simulation-based videos. Kind of like MarbleScience, a channel well worth checking out if you haven't already: https://youtu.be/7ESK5SaP-bc

3. Simulation videos are core to Primer's identity, and there's plenty of fodder for years, if not decades of simulation-driven content. But not all topics lend themselves to simulation, and simulation videos are a pretty large investment (hence the slow publish rate), so I'm trying to develop an informed opinion about the role of non-simulation videos for Primer. 

I'll likely experiment with these factors a bit more over time so I can get a better sense, but I'd appreciate hearing your perspectives to help accelerate this evaluation process.

Giving my own thoughts before having you fill out the survey (and indeed embedding them in the survey) isn't good data collection practice, but since the numbers are fairly small anyway, I'm thinking of this more as a sort of middle ground between a survey and a conversation, and I look forward to any rebuttals in the free-response section. :)

Thanks much,
Justin
