Good and bad news (Patreon)

The bad news first – We need more time for all sorts of things. 

Kurzgesagt is restructuring itself right now. The idea is to be more efficient and identify all the places where we waste time and resources. As fun as it was to post two minutes of bonus material last week, it was a huge waste of time – we should have been able to identify this much earlier. It is not 100% preventable but we can do better than we are doing right now. So we need to change the way we work a bit. This is not a thing that will be done overnight but we need to have an honest look at ourselves and make changes. 

The bad news part of that is that the basic income video will be delayed until August. We are trying to push out another, easier video in between but this won't also happen fast – we have some things in a semi finished state but the topics feel wrong in between automation and basic income, so we won't use them. 

So the next video on the channel will probably not be published until late July.

Now the good news. Because of the fact that we have been quietly working on many projects on the side, we will probably have a real surge of videos. There might be three new videos in August alone. 

So, TLDR:  dry spell up ahead and then probably a lot of videos for the rest of the year. 

It kind of sucks and I feel bad about not publishing something soon, especially since the amount of patreon reached its all time high. But I also think it is more important to think longterm right now. Ultimately it will hopefully lead to a higher output –Philipp
