I hope he starts making What If?'s about things he hasn't covered in his comic. This video was essentially the spent nuclear fuel pool comic in video form, including the joke at the end about being shot.

What I keep thinking is: he's already done the technical research, then condensed everything down to a (usually) easily understandable, thought provoking, (often) 4-panel artistic comic - basically all the really hard stuff.

Remember all those fucking annoying YouTube channels, where the "creator" would just grab posts and comments from /bestof or /goodlongposts, or top-voted stuff from /aitah, etc, and then they'd just have a robotic voice read the content and they were getting all these views even though they weren't actually doing anything creative?

I'd rather he get any YouTube money from his actual effort, than some sketchy YouTube "creator" - because you know the only reason there isn't a channel for it yet is that no one's thought of it yet.
