    I almost feel like I should apologise for voting for Hank's hair, but I think the issue is the Puff reminds me too much of the Pyramid of Frizz that is my own hair. Although I have learned to love my hair, and I do of course admire your Puff greatly as well John, the appeal of the unattainably non-frizzardly inclined Hank Hair swayed me in the end.

    John, because of you I decided to revisit a doctor about my OCD and anxiety. I’m 20 and out of shame I rejected treatment. Then I found your vlogs. Finding out someone with a mental illness can actually accomplish awesome things like you have has inspired me to seek treatment. I’ll never be 100% healed(I had a panic attack today for instance) but now I have a better chance to achieve my goals. I doubt we’ll ever meet but you should know that talking about your illness has actually impacted someone’s life.

I'm not ready to see a doctor yet because my anxiety makes that a really difficult thing for me to do, but knowing that someone I have looked up to for all of my teenage years (I'm now 18) and have respected and admired for all of that time, lives with and handles mental illness so effectively gives me an immense amount of hope and positivity for my future. tl;dr same, thanks John

    Oh, don't worry John, I took the survey as soon as I watched Hank's video and when I got to question 25, I paused and I said (out loud to myself and my cats, because it was 2 AM and I was in my room) "Well Hank just got that new haircut... but the Puff" and proceeded to vote you. I am also very impressed with how at the Paper Towns NYC premiere, despite the unbearable heat and stress (and the fact that you kept wiping sweat off your face), the Puff remained so remarkably puffy. Also, I'm worried that you may have forgotten the Great Batman Debate. I would say that was truly a divisive moment in Nerdfighteria. And while you are correct that we've never been "Team Hank" vs "Team John", we may occasionally be "Team Hank and John" vs "Team John and Hank".

    With the census I felt that a lot of questions asked me whether I did something at school (and not at work), when -- I don't go to school anymore. Like it felt very geared towards a younger audience, which is alright, but I kind of felt left out, I guess? And maybe that's why it looks as if 85% of us were unemployed, because the survey does not ask many things about people with jobs.

    After I took the survey I remembered something I could have said. I really love your videos and I think it would be great to have some sort of unbiased news show that covered anything important happening in the world, not just science like on SciShow. Again thanks for the awesome content you guys put out there and I know that you guys must be always busy, just wanted to put that idea out there.

    GoldenJeweler See, this is kind of the problem with how the census is calculating "employed" vs. "unemployed" because you wouldn't technically count as unemployed. To be unemployed you have to be seeking employment, but not currently employed. Not having a job because you're too young, or are supported by your parents, or are a stay at home mom/dad, or you are unable to work, or you have some other means of support, isn't unemployment in the census-y meaning of the word.

And now that I think of it, I was at your Industry keynote at Vidcon. You addressed a room full of ~1,000 of the people who had paid the most to come to Vidcon with wet hair. Your speech was great, as usual, and I know you were under a lot of stress with Paper Towns opening. But if you want to hang on to your hair status, you can't phone it in. You gotta earn it.

John, you're right, you're hair is much more iconic and has much more personality. What the heck was I thinking? On the plus side, I'm happily employed as an English Teacher in Japan. I guess I'm in the 15% of working Nerdfighteria. Actually, my guess is a lot of Nerdfighteria is students still. I know I was until recently. That might explain the high percentage. Maybe it would be better to have a way for people to report that they are students etc. instead of just asking their income.

    Educated and unemployed. I spend most days filling out resumes/questionnaires for employment; then in response to those filled opportunities... I wait. While the internet does make things easier on funding a job search... it does create a dividing wall between employer and hopeful candidate. I do have an opportunity or two in the works, but the standard wait time keeps me in a position that the word "suspense" has nothing on. Day to day progress leans my expectations of my future to a four letter word, fear. Fear leads to hope. I hope for a better future that is gained through my persistent goal of my own personal set marks of success. To live in fear when I have done everything expected of me is something I see in too many people.

    If it was going to be capitalist vs socialist, capitalism is an older concept like John's puff is an older concept. Therefore, John's Puff= Capitalist. John's rising and falling puff is also the same as the risings and fallings of a capitalism's stock market. Hank's Haircut is a newer concept like socialism. The fact that Hank fully controls his hair is the same as the fact that Socialist states had very strong state control. This is unlike John's puff of which John doesn't really control the puff level. I hope this analysis helped :)

Not to mention that DFTBA employs a bunch of nerdfighters, who get paid to help increase awesome and decrease suck for their jobs... so... much more complicated. Maybe you'd have to expand the number or specify like... nerdfighters connecting from x.
