Should we make an Automation bonus video? (Patreon)

Hey Patrons – We would like your input: Should we make a bonus video about automation.

So as you might have heard on twitter, we cut about three minutes from the automation video to make it more concise.

But the parts we cut were already illustrated and animated. One of them is the clip I uploaded here. 

So we also have a few more parts like that already written out. It is about more examples how jobs are currently disappearing or will disappear in the near future. (self driving cars, robot accountants, robot lawyers, robot pharmacists & doctors).

We could make a 7-8 minute video from that. But we are not sure if we should do it. It would be something like a Kurzgesagt list video – Something like „5 Sectors where machines will take over your jobs“. It will be a second video pointing toward the universal basic income video. We usually just kill stuff when we cut it from a video but in this case this feels right on the edge of it being worth its own video. It won't be the best video we ever made but it also won't suck (at least I hope so).

What are the downsides? 

1. The video might not be good and people are disappointed.

2. This will delay the Basic income video by 3-5 weeks.

Do you want this video to exist?

No matter what, the next video will not be out before early/mid July. Right now we are working too on many different things at the same time. We won’t release a lot in the next two months and then a lot of stuff very close to each other (right now we have three videos that are being illustrated at the same time ). –Philipp
