      Please don't change anything. To be honest, I only recently discovered your channel. I think it has been about a year now. It showed up whilst I was devouring astrophysics content. So, this is also the first time I see your face. Which is a bit weird, as my imagination had developed a different face. It is quite an intriguing experience, to see for the first time someone that the mind relates to almost like if it was a long time friend.
      So, nice to meet you, face. I really love your voice.
      And I love the pace of your content. And I think that's part of the soul of its soul. Let's kick this algorithm to the curb.

It's a shame the "pay me elsewhere" concept wasn't a thing before the corporate money grabbing behavior started. Things may be different now. But as a result of how it has unfolded, derpiness gets rewarded while hard work gets pushed to the side.

    I really appreciate the topics you delve into, the well-considered pacing you employ in doing so, and the fact that you're not afraid to make longer videos that explore topics more deeply. That is indeed a rarity in the YT world. Which brings me to another point. I think having a Patreon presence for Astrum is a wonderful idea, as it will allow those of us who can, support your work to whatever extent each of us can. That said, for those who would like to see ad-free videos, one option might be to ditch the YT platform entirely and head to greener (i.e. less restrictive) pastures, such as Rumble or Oddysee. I realise there are still many good reasons for content providers to post on YT, but I think having a long-term alternative on the back burner might be prudent. At any rate, Astrum is one of a handful of my all-time favourite channels, and I truly love what you do and how you do it. Cheers!

    We all learned so much from Mr. Sagan.
    He was one of the most intelligent men to walk this earth.

    I particularly enjoy how you present and narrate each video. Calm, intelligent, and captivating - really easy to take in.
    I've learned so much from ASTRUM. It has given answers to wonder, and I THANK YOU so much!
    Please continue the excellent work, and I look forward to being a patron.

    I've been watching your videos since the very beginning and have never once been disappointed with a video. Your voice, as well as the overall use of video and audio to suit, is what has captivated us in the first place. Its great to see your face every once in a while to remind us of who we're listening to and to connect with you a bit, don't change that, but its definitely your intense focus on the subject matter, coupled with the perfect cinematic experience, that has brought me back to your content. I've often found myself sitting for multiple hours binge watching your videos to catch up after life has been busy

    I wouldn't worry about appeasing the YT algorythm. People who are genuinely curious will find your channel. I subscribed after the first video. As of right now there is only one channel I support when support was asked for and that is Destin over at Smarter Every Day. His videos are entertaining, informative and he seems like a geninely nice guy! While I generally don't care to see the UA-camr on the videos (and they just narrate like yours, Rex's Hangar or IHYLS) Destin is different. His enthusiasm comes across in his presentation.
    I love your videos and feel your channel deserves support as well so I'll check out the tiers. (Also, thank you for narrating your own videos. Usually when I find an AI narrated video I skip it )
    Also, Destin has a per video option on his Patreon. I currently pledge $10 per video for him. Someting you might want to consider adding!

    Please know that there are many out there who are most grateful and appreciative of your time and sharing your depth and breadth of knowledge with all of us - we are definitely the beneficiaries of it. This is probably the 3rd or 4th Space & Astronomy-related UA-cam channel that has expressed the same concern and difficulty. I know of one channel that reached out to UA-cam to inquire about what they needed to or should do given the change in the algorithm and the negative impacts that have followed, and unfortunately, UA-cam was of no help. I've also seen two channels transition to other platforms to share content. It's disappointing to see as I absolutely love and most appreciate educationally based content along with being able to access other things like music, movies, and other interests all in one place, and hate to see educationally based channels be negatively impacted by the changes.
    Closer to home, I share your videos with my son, who grew up fascinated by and interested in Astronomy and space sciences. It's been a joy to be able to share in this interest together and for that, along with all of the other comments shared here, I thank you.
