Origins of the First World War, pt. 2 -- Serbia
We consider the history and explosive politics of the often-forgotten Eastern European nation that set the events of the First World War in motion: Serbia. We examine the country’s emergence and brief flowering as an Eastern Orthodox kingdom in the high Middle Ages, its fall to the Ottoman advance, its many years of quiet resistance in religion and song, its re-emergence amidst the Napoleonic wars and the Ottoman breakdown, and finally, its long-frustrated quest to fulfill its purported destiny of reunifying the Southern Slavs, which led a militant and conspiratorial secret society to murder their own country’s king and to smuggle teenage assassins across the border to kill their rivals’ crown prince.

If he learned how to boost engagement in the comment section it would have boosted his subs and tweaked the algorithm in his favor. The classic mistake these guys make is to view this as an intellectual stand alone exercise where quality speaks for itself. It doesn't. No discussion in the comment section means no engagement with the channel. He actually chills discussion. The resulting relegation by YT is inevitable. But let's face it, that's probably the way he prefers it on a subconscious level. I doubt he ever felt entirely comfortable with YT in the first place. In short, it is what it is.
