Who's behind Cicada 3301

Hey folks! This video is sponsored but I took the sponsored section out for the Patreon version. We've been dealing with a lot of heavy topics are here lately so I wanted to take a break for this one. Back to it on Friday :) Next videos are on Hannah Graham, LISK, Kenneka Jenkins, Kaylyn Louder, Kimberly Kessler, Savopoulos Family, and another lighter video on a "haunted" painting.  

Who's behind Cicada 3301

I hope so! Watched a lot of crazy stuff when researching it

Oh don't worry, I think creators still get revenue from YouTube Premium, but it comes directly from YouTube, not advertisers.

I’m excited to see what you do for the Kenneka Jenkins video. I have followed her Case since the day she was reported missing in the Hotel. I have no doubt you will do an exceptional job with her Case.

Hi Mike, me again. I had a look at the sponsored version of this video at YouTube. In what follows, bear in mind that I belong to YouTube Premium and so, I don't see inserted adverts. ~ Aside: I wonder if being a premium member is denying ad revenue to monetized videos? I hope not, but I feel like something of a freeloader to people who monetize and thus, in my angst, I become a patron of my favourite creators. I want to chip in, but I don't want to be annoyed by jarring adverts. ~ Your inline advert was cool, because it felt like a brief aside from the conversation. I like that it was apparently ad lib. Flashing the cicada was a nice touch. ~ I'm a fan of classic radio shows (before TV existed) and the averts in those shows were often a part of the programme, occasionally with hilarious results as they were broadcast live. ~ Now, hypothetically speaking as someone who doesn't belong to YouTube Premium , it boils down to reciprocity. You work hard to make a video and you want to tell me about someone who's willing to pay you for your hard work and to broadcast it. I'm listening...

I've never watched a better deep-dive on 3301 than yours. Cheers mate!

Oh wow, thanks for the suggestion Mark, always looking for them! I'll look into it and add it to the list :)

Thanks Mike, for the most coherent explanation of Cicada 3301 that I've ever encountered, not that there's anything really coherent about them. In a vague way, this reminds me of the Q-anon nonsense, just one or more people messing with people's heads for the hell of it albeit with rather different goals in mind between them.

Most definitely Reptoids. Hey, when you get back to heavy, dark topics, my personal favorites, consider the murder of Sigrid Stevenson in 1977. It's a crazy, unsolved case that would be right up your alley. There's even a tinfoil hat angle you could take, as it has developed into a ghost story. I'm sure you have a giant list of things to research, but I thought I'd throw this out to you as well. I'm super helpful like that. Anyway, another great video full of chuckles. Thanks, Mike!
