Hi Kurzgesagt! I am currently a college student and was very inspired by your periodic table poster, though i was unable to afford them, I and my roommate tried to make each element ourselves on photoshop as a week long project and that was when I truly realized how much work your guys really do (The 100x60cm poster we made is currently on our walls and it really sparks up our home). the first thing I do when I finally get a job is to support you inspire others, Thank you for being awe-inspiring

Lot of dedication and love, just what I expected from the best KZread channel ever.
It's mind-blowing and almost sad that it takes so many people so long to make these videos, but I am glad you make them anyway.
For those wondering: The "sauce" on the thumbnail was white
The fact you tried to push for the year to be changed to 12,024 H.E. makes this channel important alone. I doubt I'll live to see it happen, but I honestly think it will one day.
The thumbnail, the topic, the animation are always on point. This proves a lot why Kurzgesagt is so popular among science lovers sitting over here.
Thank you, Kurzgesagt, for the quality and big effort in your productions.
Thank you for your amazing activities!!! 🙌👏 Team kurzgesagt I will always support you ❤
That thumbnail is... certainly something... 💀
I love you guys so much. Your channel is truly unparalelled !

How, then, do you release a video more than once a month if 1000 hours (straight) are about 6 weeks? Are those hours distributed, or do you have multiple teams working on different videos simultaneously
@bendp99
18 күн бұрын
They mean 1000 working hours. Like if one person put 8 hours into something you get 8 hours of work but if two people do it you have 16 working hours. They also have script written and animators that work on more than 1 project at a time
Thanks for your determination and hardwork 😊
I was not prepared for that thumbnail! Amazing work as always (:
Thank you for your work and videos. You guys are amazing
you know it's a good day when kurzgesagt uploads
What makes Kurzgesagt so special? Uhm... nothing? It does things different than other info dump channels regarding visuals, but it's still the same as them regarding the info they convey.
this is by far the best educational youtube channel to ever exist
Kurzgesagt does a great job explaining fascinating science concepts with cool illustrations, and always gives a weekly dose of existential dread. Keep up the good work!
im glad this channel exists
The thumbnail is absolutely UNHINGED
thank you for making videos I never knew how much it took
What makes you special is despite the type of art you do it's the quality and effects you do, plus the narration, effort into writing, and budget for quality music. These videos have as stated thousands of hours at most put into them. That speaks for itself.

Thank you for putting so much work into every video! I really appreciate it and understand how hard it can be. You’ve introduced me to so many interesting concepts and helped me grasp others. I also like how you mentioned the soundtrack composition, I think Epic Mountain deserves some more recognition and appreciation. I’ve listen to a lot of their music and it’s really good. Perhaps one of my favorite artists!
That thumbnail is a phrase from the KZreadr who made the video about "im so happy im not becoming a dad"
I mean no offense when I ask, isn't most of this video just repeating the things you already said in the past videos? "How We Make Money on KZread with 20M Subs" and "How to Make a Kurzgesagt Video in 1200 Hours" covered this in more details. Just that it seems rather excessive to spend time working on the script, animation, music, and everything for this repeated announcement video.
