Great stuff and more awareness is always a good thing.

Please, just put english subtitles on the german videos and everyone will be fine ;)

The video is great, but what you said in the end: I'm not sure about this, especially the part of German exclusive videos. I'd suspect that majority of your patrons do not speak German, so this wouldn't be beneficial to most of us. And treating it as a step towards multilingual videos also seems like a stretch. I mean, OK, you're one of the most successful creators on patreon but I don't think even you guys can afford translating all (or most) Kurzgesagt videos to as many as, say, 10 languages?

The biggest problem with this video is you constantly mispronounce "bullshit". The second-biggest is that you confuse charlancy with alternative medicine. The latter involves using non-drug regimens and emphasizes healthy living practices (natural foods, avoiding processed and added-sugar foods), regular exercise, and practice of mental-health techniques like breathing exercises, mindfulness, and meditation to treat ailments. There is good science behind the idea that there are alternatives to ingesting manufactured medicines and that these alternative treatments can even be better for peoples' long-term health. For example, avoiding antibiotics in some situations is more beneficial because the antibiotic destroys the helpful bacteria in our guts along with the invasive targets. THAT is alternative medicine - homeopathy is just bullshit.

DrWex

I should add that alternative medicine also includes herbal medicine, much of which is derived from Chinese practice. I'm not any sort of expert in that, but talking to people who are they find it extremely frustrating that their practice is confused with homeopathic bullshit.

Love the video, as always. One question though: Why not provide reliable subtitles? You guys have so many fans and Patrons that I am sure you could easily get good subtitles by just releasing the video to a closed group of volunteers a few days prior.

Maybe we should have phrased it differently. This has nothing to do with Patreon. The German public broadcast is giving us extra resources to make *more* stuff that we will publish first in German and then in english after a few months. Without their funds we could never afford to do anything in German or any other language because it costs us so much time (and money because we have to pay for new recordings etc)

How about a video on putting the A in STEM. Many people are pushing for more STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) in education while discouraging STEAM (adding Art to the curriculum) because they think Art has nothing to do with the other four fields. Yet many scientists (mostly those who have an artistic hobby or training) say that Art greatly expands and aids science.

My spouse got a NASA job because she had art and animation in her network engineer and computer development background! Art used to be part of STEM, when hand made sketches and representations were considered part of the curriculum.

I had never heard of Homeopathy before. Please make your introduction a bit clearer for something that maybe very popular in one country, but it’s unheard of in another.

The german videos are under another channel, and so far anyway are not exclusive to the german channel so there are english versions available.

I'm curious whether animations are altered for the german video given the differences in the length to say a phrase is different. My guess is that it's easier to alter the script, and probably shorten when necessary. I noticed one bit is different in the german homeopathy - no mention of a black hole created between the earth and sun. (I speak a little german) When writing, are there considerations made in the script for the german translation?

Oh dear, memories from watching Don't Hug Me I'm Scared videos just resurfaced at 5:40! Let's agree to never think creatively again...

Marcos Guevara

I don’t mind videos exclusively narrated in German language. I would just ask to have subtitles in English. Does YouTube provide automatic translation that works with your videos?
