The year is 2027, Simon has 178 channels going, my subscription feed is almost entirely Simon. "How does he do it? " I ask myself as I search for that one video on a Sunday afternoon that isn't Simon.
He licenses CGI driven AI talking images of himself by then. Probably has already.
I've thought that he's a small youtuber as I knew him only from sideprojects, and I've just discovered he's a UA-cam overlord.
Today I found out the mysterious story of the man running half the world's UA-cam channels
I'm pretty sure that's going to be someone reacting to one of Simon's videos 🤔
Look up star wars and Marvel he doesn't like those
As a mexican I can confirm, none of this is ever taught in basic education, if you want to actually learn in depth about the conquista and the hell people went through during it, you have to turn to foreign studies and heavily underfunded local sources.
I'm actually hearing about cocoliztli for the first time today, most people are taught only (and on a very superficial level) about the smallpox outbreak
@Niko Ratković I am, yes.
And once again, all of that I investigated on my own while in college. Totally unrelated to my major, just out of curiosity.
Because people know more about smallpox than the lesser known or no cause cocolitzli plague
Why is that? Maybe I don't get it but I can't understand why Mexico would not go into detail about colonizers
Even if it’s Mexico, it still suffers from “Whiteness”. This is why this isn’t taught even in Mexico, and indigenous people are heavily discriminated. Mexico, like the US was built on White Supremacy. Some of those systems, wether cultural still exist to this day.
Thank you! It's never easy to determine whether, as a white American, I simply didn't know any of this due to gaps in our education concerning other countries. I'm always interested in becoming more educated, especially in cases like this. We need to be armed with knowledge so that these things NEVER repeat. Hopefully.
So I'm convinced that Simon is a dragon who's horde consists of play buttons
A dragon who's minions (writers, editors, etc.) are cockatiels, budgies and various other species of small parrots. It's far easier to keep a bunch of small birds in the basement than a bunch of humans.

(Heil grammatik)
I thought HE was earth's Black Box
lol now I know what my next drawing is gonna be.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is what happens when Simon realizes he can make a channel out of "the past was the worst"
You did find into the shadows channel 👀🤣
That would have been a really good name for a channel. It's such a good name that I think it deserves a channel of its own. Simon, make it so!
Hahah, I felt that giving the channel a non inside-joke name was for the best long term :D
Mega projects isn’t in the description. Has it been…gasp….cancelled? 😱.
Congratulations on new channel Simon. It is indeed the worst.
Great idea
One of Simon's best videos ever how someone can make like 12 videos a day and maintain quality is beyond me this guy must have a serious team working for him. Good stuff.
He just reads. His teams do all the rest.
No every channel publishes daily.
Videos are recorded in sessions, weeks or months in advance.
He's doing just fine.
He has a basement full. If no one buy merch.....he won't feed them.😥
Well….his videos include many, many factual mistakes. Not differing opinions, stuff that is just wrong. For example, that the FDA approved ephedra in the US (it never did, Google it….as an herbal supplement, it didn’t need approval before marketing, and then the FDA spent 4 years trying to get it off the US markets due to cardiac concerns, despite the owner being a huge political donor). Worse, he seems to have no concern or care for the damage his mistakes do.
@@Itried20takennames Curious, which video is ephedra mentioned?
Simon taking over yt with his channel empire.
Work in progress ;)
Two extraodinary facts:
1) The pandemics spread well beyond Mezo-America, causing a massive depopulation of both North and South America. This is why, for example, the earliest British and French colonists who arrived in the early 1600s were faced with a greatly depopulated continent. It is estimated that the Amerindian population of the Americas may have fallen by up to 90% from its peak iround 1500 to its low point around 1900, with most of that decline caused by pandemics in the 1500s, and a second wave of death by warfare and pandemic caused by wars with European settlers in the 1800s as they rapidly spread from their small areas of initial settlement in the 1600s.
2) Today the majority of Mexicans are Mestizo, and genetic testing shows that the Mestizo are mainly descended from a small number of Spanish males who arrived in the 1500s and native women. It's estimated that most Mestizo are descended from only a few thousand Spaniards.
The pandemics and genocides in the americas were so big that the earth experienced a period of cooling.
There was Spanish immigration to Mexico in later times to. My grandmothers family moved to Mexico from Spain in the early 1930's
This is what is not taught in school today. When the pilgrims arrived in North America, it was mostly already depopulated due to rampant plagues brought much earlier (~100 years earlier) and got really really lucky that Squanto happened to be around. Early colonists in North America did not need to conquer and displace natives. There weren't any around. Humanity got lucky that there were no plagues that went the other direction back to Europe.
The book "1491" is a good discussion of what societies were in the Americas before the Europeans came and the effects of the diseases brought by them.
Also, there was one notable plague brought back to Europe from the Americas: syphilis. There may be other diseases brought back, but that's the most impactful by far.
@@us89na Syphilis already existed in the Eastern Hemisphere what are you talking about bro
Simon is an excellent orator with an excellent ability to hire the right writers appropriate for a channels format. The information conveyed is never in-depth but also not too shallow, such that it allows the viewer to soak up just enough high-level information allowing them to dig deeper if interested.
Very much admire your work. All of it. Your documentary films are extremely well researched, marvelously organized & artistically presented. Thank you greatly.
Thanks for watching :)
Dear Simon: today September 15 is the celebration of our Independence. Thank you for the video, is like a present! 🇲🇽
1. I love your pronunciation of Tenochtitlán and Panuco. It’s kind of cute.
2. Thank you for mentioning than the Aztecs also practiced slavery. It is not only a disease of the white people
3. The Spanish famously refused to eat the local meat for religious reasons. Until they were able to raise their own cattle in New Spain, they relied almost exclusively on fish and vegetables. Perhaps the indigenous population caught cocoliztli from game, whatever it was it was certainly less present in the Spanish diets.
4. The Spanish had to import African slaves due to the lack of indigenous population and their weaknesses. The south of Mexico in particular has plenty of African descendants like myself. So, the collapse of the indigenous population brought about an increase of the slave traffic in Europe. The Spanish tried to create a caste system to separate the African from the rest, but they failed at it, because the Spanish themselves started procreating with the Africans.
5. This is why many present day Mexicans have a genetic profile of the three “sources”, European, indigenous and African, and why we never had a segregation history like the USA did, because all our families are MIXED. Even the ones of European descent
Cool name.
Thank you for this information. I wasn’t aware of a lot of it
I'm sure you must realise that your own ancestors are more than likely of Spanish decent.
@@rezarfar but not entirely. Almost all Mexicans are mixed, or as we say "mestizo". She never claimed she didn't have Spanish heritage.
Minerva, enslavement of Mexicans was banned by law in 1510 by Isabel la Católica. That's why African slaves had to be imported, because the Decree left them out of its scope and specifically included a mandate to marry the local populace. Ah, slaves don't rise through a stamental(not caste) system. Indigenous people did. Los "indios" fueron nombrados súbditos de la Corona. Los esclavos no tienen esa consideración. Here's a excerpt of Isabel La Católica's will.
“e non consientan e den lugar que los indios vezinos e moradores en las dichas Indias e tierra firme, ganadas e por ganar, reciban agravio alguno en sus personas e bienes; mas mando que sea bien e justamente tratados. E si algún agravio han rescebido, lo remedien e provean, por manera que no se exceda en cosa alguna de lo que por las Letras Apostólicas de la dicha concessión nos es inyungido e mandado.”
Un saludo.
Blaze boy will rule UA-cam with his channels, and we love it!
I think he prefers f#ktboi. 😅
Just waiting for disney to buy him out.
@@damonm113 f*ckboy with his only fans, allegedly
I think it's called the Simon Whistlerverse
@@jakshana "Hello Danny"
Met a bunch of mayans in Yucatan peninsula years ago, lovely people.
What a horrific story.
Big fan of everything you post blaze boy. Please don't stop business "brain" blaze and the casual criminalist
OGBB will live on forever. Whistle boy is unending
Good thing he has 11 channels to be a fan of. 😉
There another Simon . Into the shadows 👀 channel 😱🤣
NEVER
He’s fact boy not blaze boy
Your new channels are so dark but utterly entertaining
Thanks :).
Dark like my soul.
@@IntotheShadows noooo! That crushed me to hear that! I hope that was sarcasm. You are such a beacon of information and education certainly not dark :)
@@Bambisgf77 Simon keeps several minions chained in the basement, allegedly. He susbsists on Magic Spoon and cocaine, allegedly. And with so many channels even the algorithms cant keep count he is The Dark Overlord of YT, undeniably.
In the first fifty years following 1493, 95,000,000 native peoples perished. The English pilgrims found skeletons on the beaches of Massachusetts. They had tried to cool their bodies from the fever of measles. (I can relate!) The hemisphere was much better nourished than Europe, but the Indians had never encountered diseases that been culling the Eastern Hemisphere for 1,0000s of years.
deploy a sound maximiser and limiter on all channels, its insane vidioes still go from barely audible to house-clearing
Such a beautiful country. Love from Brazil, Mexico!
zuca nos Portugueses tambem fizemas das boas 😅😅😅😅 cade meu ouro
It'd be even more beautiful if it gave wide spread vaccines for small pox.
Can we get a channel filled wild speculations and conspiracies just so we can hear you say allegedly 137 times a video like in the casual criminalist 😂
Call it InfoKombat?
@@TheRedneckBudha nice little mortal kombat Easter egg there friend. You get a like.
Isn’t that Brain Blaze?? (Aka Business Blaze)
The Casual Conspiracist will be what it's called lmao
I was also thinking of Info wars itd be funny to watch fact boi go full Alex Jones
I like the layout for this one too, we've got the setup of megaprojects/side projects with the red lighting of casual criminalist with a fancy new dynamic zoom! Keep it up fact boy!
Mexico also had a pretty rough day around 65-66 million years ago....
What was that?
@@elenapelayo1 Chixulub
Are we sure that Simon isn't actually triplets all pretending to be the same person? This is my theory how he accomplishes so much.
Go on son!
No description for this channel?
I'm liking the direction it seems to be heading though
I think it's based on the past is the worst?
So, I studied Occupational Health and Safety Science at Uni. I have to say, most of the symptoms do kind of mimic metal poisoning, like from mercury, arsenic, lead, flourine, etc (or a mix there-of), all of which were released in significant amounts into groundwater of mexico during the extensive silver mining of the 1500s. And the cocoliztli outbreaks were localised in specific areas and valleys, during heavy drought or fheavy flooding.
In both cases, groundwater would be heavily relied upon for drinking water, where rivers and lakes would otherwise have been the watersources. Were floodwater drunk, it would also likely be further contaminated. In any case, richer spaniards, even if they remained in the area, would largely rely on shipped-in stored water, filtered water, alcohols, etc. Thye would not likley be working in the mines, would not likely be living as near to the mines, and would likely be eating very different food, avoiding bioaccumulation that native mexicans may have been exposed to.
Just saying. Skin lesions, fever, thirst, jaundice and cysts, bloody and frequent vomiting and diarrhoea/dysentery, breathing difficulties, muscle twitching, headaches, bloody eyes, nose and ears, kidney, liver and spleen failure, chest and abodminal pains, dementia, etc. Doctors not getting the disease despite exposure. Sudden outbreak of the disease, but highly localised to areas. Abrupt change of outbreak frequency aligning with the beginining of a rain season. Acute onset of disease, with minimal prior symptoms. Frequent relapse. Again, just saying.
Your hypothesis deserves to be looked at more closely.
I am considered by my friends to be fairly knowledgeable in world history but you constantly come up with sections of time that I have never heard of! Thank you so much. All joking aside I am glade you have all your channels
What is great of history is that there's so much to know, you could literally learn new things about it all day everyday for the rest of your life, and still have centuries left to learn about when you die
@@sherrylovegood If you were to learn everything you want to know, then you would want to know more afterwards. That's the thing about having a curious and inquisitive mind, the thirst to learn is literally insatiable. That's the beauty of life I guess, it's impossible to learn and see everything there is to learn and see, so make the best out of the limited time you got! :)
So, does this mean that there is another script writer in Simon’s basement?
I don't even know what this channel is about but of course I instantly subscribed after the first video. I honestly stopped watching Netflix, because I can't keep up with this guy's daily upload schedule.
You know when you find a UA-camr you really enjoy so you binge watch their content and get sad when you realize you have watched all thier episodes and have to wait for new content, well that will never happen with Simon!!!
At this point, you should do a "Top Tenz" on the Top Ten Simon Whistler channels.
And sponsored by his channels that didn't make the list.
Truth
The day Tenochtitlan fell to the Spaniards it was not a lost, it was not a win, it was the painful birth of Mexico.
Do you ever see your family, Simon? Don't be abandoning then on our behalf! ,😂
Simon needs to make a channel themed around "smash that dislike button".
Our sponsor today is raid shadow legends
I swear, Simon is slowly just trying to take over UA-cam.
Someone @ me if Simon starts a video games channel...
He did it again. This time a war channel.
This is one of the most terrible stories in human history, and we have only a few fairly fragmentary native accounts of what it was like to live in, what you quite accurately call The Century of Hell. I wonder how many of the native people simply gave up and died out of utter despair? I just can't imagine the psychological horror of being 20 years old in 1521 and living until 1580 and seeing so many die and your world collapse. Where once your village had, say, 200 people and now it has less than 30!!! The abandoned homes everywhere, abandoned fields, a society utterly decimated.
One despot youtuber to rule them all (and expand his basement space to accommodate more radiator chained staff)
As much as I appreciate Mr. Whistlers delivery style in general, I am really liking this slowed down story style narration. Keep the content & channels coming, so far today I am at over 6 hours of Simon content! Single handedly keeping my mind off this awful cold. 😌
Loving this new channel Simon keep up the good work blaze boii!
This is my favorite series so far, but everything is so good!
I look forward too your videos every day, thank you and your crews for all of the hard work !
I'll always wonder what the Americas would be like if they'd never been colonized by Europe. Imagine the possibilities that lay in a history where the Americas were left alone and allowed to develop and prosper on their own... Or properly and respectfully traded with but the natives were left to build their own empires and govern their own people. It's so sad that so many people, and so many cultures were ruined by the way this land was colonized.
Loving the new channel guys 👌🏾
I love these videos. Simon is so knowledgeable and shines lights in the less than explored corners of history.
Always hyped for more Blaze Boy content, especially the darker points of history!
Is this really ANOTHER new channel?!?!! How does he do it?! Love you Simon!
I love the stand up and fade out at the end, perfect fit for the content. 👍
28 seconds ago woo! Hi Simon! 🤘
Simon has some of the greatest energy I've ever seen. Being able to make as many videos as he does, it's almost impossible for any but the most legendary of souls, like Fact Boy himself. I wonder what his new nickname will be on this channel?
Simon is definitely the hardest working man on UA-cam. I don't believe anyone can argue that. We all truly appreciate your hard work Simon. Thank you
As both a physician and avid history buff I find this fascinating. Keep up the good work
Though I was previously aware of the history covered here seeing it once again is truly heartbreaking
Simon - if you are being held against your will to create new channels, please give us a sign! But seriously, love your content. Thank you for your hard work!
You know everything Simon, and i love it! .. just keep it coming! .. my brain is like a knowledge sponge!
Found your new channel on accident, and again, extremely excited about the content..Great video, I mean, not great what happened, but you are able to tell information in a way that holds attention. With all your channels, if you are locked on the basement, rather than Danny, please find a way to let us know like maybe blink twice wait, you might not do the editing Jen might, and then she might edit it that out...find a way to let us know! 🤣
Excellent video. I knew of the epidemics, but not the symptoms and populations that were targeted. Thank you Simon for presenting this interesting case.
Dang it mate, so many channels i admire your dedication!!! 👍
nice work for teaching a bit of history. so many are ignorant of it and that way destined to repeat mistakes
Simon's knocking it outta the park with another amazing channel! Woohoo!
Another channel, Simon must rollin in the money now. The best part is the content is way better than average on UA-cam
Love the new channel
What a nasty experience for those poor people. It's such a major event that I cannot believe I have not even had an inkling of it over the last 50 years. Oh well, Simon brings to light yet another episode in history that deserves to be known. Thanks.
I'm a simple man, I see a new channel from Simon, I subscribe.
Like a proper legend, the new channel is sick!
Oh wow, a new channel, I try to tell the algorithm, or maybe am telling the algorithm. That although I can watch the news or listen to music alot, I really need to keep some of the good educational stuff, especially with Simon and Nindo and Sci-Show at a high priority near the top of the list.
We got ourselves a whole Simon cable network on UA-cam! Loving it
Your videos are gold! I'm from Mexico and never knew how bad it was!!
It goes to show that if you really love doing something, you'll find the time to do it. I want a video on Simon's Time management skills... Lol
Don't tell him, he'll start another channel on it.
@@ferociousgumby 🤣🤣🤣 I just saw this
Yay 🎊 just found the new channel today
Thank you big brain🎊🎊❤
I wish we knew more about the Olmec. Those stone heads are really cool
I have followed Simon from channel to channel, learning more and more. 🧠 power!
Those "disenchanted locals" were fodder for
The Aztec's blood rituals and dominance.
How does he manage to keep up with all of his channels? Please don't burn yourself out dude
How do you have time for all of these channels
Great Simon 👍 Subscribed!
Awesome! Thanks! I had heard of the devastations of native populations in the "new world" but I didn't realize how much was related to disease. It does occur to me that you do associate disease with the rapid decline of population but you don't refer to any statistical analyses. It would be difficult to dig up large numbers of remains and examine them all for the specific diseases that were specified as the cause of population reductions. The secondary testimonies appear to be written records compiled by Europeans, which would allow for a bias in the attribution of cause of death. The fact remains that a cataclysmic decline in the native population occurred within 100 years of the arrival of Christopher Columbus and his Spanish financiers.
I love this new channel!
Good lord Simon! How many channels do you have? I do enjoy all your channels though so keep it up
You've got another subscribe. not sure about the bell yet, still literally only business/brain blaze is the only channel with a notification bell set.
Man and just as I thought I was getting a grip on Simon's content creation rate, he DOES IT AGAIN! Bravo Fact Boy keep reading us those facts.
We don't deserve you.
How weird…I had not heard of the cocoliztli epidemic until now.
Also weird how such a devastating disease just showed up and then disappeared less than 3 centuries later 🤔
Proud of you, Simon. You’ve done it again
True Fact: The game Simon Says was actually named after UA-cam Lord Simon Whistler
the UA-cam lord fact boi.
Holy hell another channel!?!? Do you just record 25 hours a day 8 days a week?
One of the best narrators for a variety of subjects
I feel like all that's missing now for Simon is a collab channel, lol. Also, would be really cool if he did "Dark Matters: Twisted But True" subject-style videos here, the one show hosted by John Noble a while back.
Thank you very much. I had never heard of this disease before.
It's all horrible, but them getting it a 2nd time (assuming it was the same disease and not just caused by their weakened bodies from the illness succumbing to another illness) has to be the scariest part
Loving the channel so far but,
12:44 Decemeber? 😆
Bro, I'm loosing track of all your channels, podcasts how do you do it!!?
Simon will one day end up in a Jet Li "The One" situation where he has to kill off the other version of himself from other channels to increase his own power.
Another channel! Sweet! Hey Simon thank you for sending me to Science Get! Eric is a genius!
Simon is still out of control! I don’t think Danny’s locked in the basement, I think you’re locked in a Czech basement ordered by Daven to read scripts for eternity! #freesimon
I love watching Simone’s videos
Great to see my home country featured by Fact Boi
Good video 👍
I do wonder if it was mosquito borne, appearing during rainy seasons.
Man has like 19 channels lmfao. AND I KEEP WATCHING THEM ALL!!!!
Damnit Simon 95% of the videos I watch are yours and my queue keeps getting longer because of you.
haha the thumbnail looks like Simon's like "ouff tough luck, boy. didn't end well"
That cocowhatever makes covid look like a walk in the park.
Every time Simon gets a new channel, a minute passes
Another channel of expertly presented history. Great scripts. Subject matter too dark to completely watch in single viewing.
