We need more animation companies to be like Kurzgesagt

Not only will their new history channel be outputting even more animated content (and therefore providing more work), but they’re also promising to only use human artists and NOT AI 🔥

I LOVE Kurzgesagt videos! It's one of my favorite channels to watch in the evenings. Did you know they just launched a second channel that's focusing on history???

The first video was great & I look forward to all the stories they will tell. 💜❤️

China kauft keinen Strom mehr aus Russland; kurzgesagt: weil russischer Strom durch den Krieg gegen die Urkaine teurer und chinesischer Strom aus Erneuerbaren billiger wird. Die Rede ist von bis zu 7 Milliarden kWh Strom jährlich.
Schau'n wir mal, wohin die Einnahmeverlusste führen […]

We Made A New Channel!
For years, we’ve been dreaming of a second channel. A channel where we could tell different kinds of stories and dive into something else we deeply care about: history. Because the story of the past is also the story of us, of humanity. Welcome to the nightshift. 🌚 Our first video dives into the extraordinary story of Zheng Yi Sao, a young woman who built the largest pirate confederation the world has ever seen. Her floating shadow state of 1,800 ships and 70,000 pirates pushed the Chinese Empire to its limits and reshaped trade in the South China Sea. Continue watching on nightshift: https://kgs.link/NGT_PP We’d love to hear what you think. 🖤 OUR CHANNELS ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ German: https://kgs.link/youtubeDE Spanish: https://kgs.link/youtubeES French: https://kgs.link/youtubeFR Portuguese: https://kgs.link/youtubePT Arabic: https://kgs.link/youtubeAR Hindi: https://kgs.link/youtubeHI Japanese: https://kgs.link/youtubeJA Korean: https://kgs.link/youtubeKO HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT US? ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ This is how we make our living and it would be a pleasure if you support us!

So the fine folks at Kurzgesagt started an awesome other channel called Nightshift for dark-toned historical stories. They opened with Zheng Yi Sao, the leader of a pirate confederation that dominated the South China Sea in the early 1800s and it’s magnificent.

Kurzgesagt has started a separate channel just for videos on historical events (instead of their usual space and science stuff). This is their first vid there, and it's informative and beautiful to look at.

I was reading earlier about how the rise of podcasts and YouTube creators is killing off traditional broadcast documentaries, especially for history.

Unrelatedly, Kurzgesagt announced today that it's branching out into historical videos www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0WQ...

I normally recommend the kurzgesagt calendar, but it's sold out.

Yes that sticker is from your kpop demon hunter sticker sheets.
A photo of the January pages of the kurzgesagt calendar for the year 12026. The illustration on top shows one of the first creatures to emerge from the sea and get a look at the stars overhead. There is a kpop demon hunters 'save the date' sticker on the 12th, from the artist Yamino.

Kurzgesagt is diversifing their production and it's as good as ever

(And the first episode of their new channel made me think of @aliettedebodard.com)

I don't know if any real world religions have ever believed something similar, but obviously Andy Weir (whose story the Kurzgesagt video is based on) came up with the idea independently from me, so I'm going to count that as "from the real world". (2/3)
