Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell is a popular YouTube channel. A lot of its content is EA-adjacent. The most viewed videos in a bunch of EA topics are ones posted by Kurzgesagt. The videos are also of very high quality. Has anyone tried collaborating with them or supporting them? I think it could be high impact (although careful evaluation is probably required).
Some fairly prominent people in EA have spoken with the person behind this channel about creating an introductory EA video. I’m not sure whether such a video is actually in the works, though. (I imagine that sponsoring one of these is quite expensive.)
Sorry for the lack of further detail; I don’t know much else, beyond the fact that this meeting happened.
