WOW. Yeah, I don't know what happened at the 3:03 mark with that intro music. Sorry, everyone. 😄
Made me jump 😆👍
I recommended one of my professors to your channel. We’re talking about climate change and energy production and I used your video on the Gulf Stream for reference.
In Citizen Kane (1941), a scene is interrupted with the sudden appearance and loud screech of Answers with Joe Scott's intro. After much speculation from people on its symbolism, Orson Welles admitted that he put it in there to wake up any audience members who might be dozing off.
I love minor mistakes, keeps you human and relatable... you're all good! Loved the Somerton man mystery by the way. Probably half algorithm, half human psychology.
I thought it was hilariously well timed.
I enjoyed the Somerton Man video, even having heard about it on many other channels in the past. I do love a good doom and gloom video, too, though.
Yeah I agree. I really like Joe's particular take on things. He and his writer and editor craft an earnest, and funny, and curious style.
If you've heard about it on many other channels, I have to think you have very strange tastes. 😳 I agree it was enjoyable, but I understand that UA-cam algorithms are just unsustainable, I wonder if UA-cam has peaked and people will look at other platforms more, because it's really aggravating to have your own worst impulses (and everyone else's) directing entertainment choices and opportunities. When it comes to streaming video, I want someone with better taste to save me from myself!
yeah im surprised! I watched that video and thought it was just as good and interesting as all the other ones! wonder what his definition of "tanked" is
I dont even remember seeing a notification for it. UA-cam is manipulating your subscriber base, Joe. (kidding)
Yeah that’s why I didn’t watch it. I’ve seen so many videos on it already that I could tell the story 😭
I really liked The Somerton Man, video. I hope you won't be discouraged from making more. I'd love to hear more mystery file stuff
yeah, same here. was honestly one of my favorites.
it was not a bad video, and it was not a boring story.
Agree.
I watched it on Nebula... so sorry for not bumping the view count on UA-cam :-/
Same! I love the doom and gloom videos but the mystery videos like that are actually how I found this channel
Your "mystery" videos like Somerton Man are my favourites. Please keep making them - your channel is richer for them, even if you aren't!
Mine too!
Lol well said. Gave me a chuckle.
They’re really great, honestly.
There's a Halloween every year
3:01 just want to let you know that there is an audio error at this point in the video.
Think it's gonna be taken down and re-upped with this corrected.
i jumped a bit xD
It's a easter egg
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY
I had to go back and listen again to make sure I wasn't insane lol
Please don't change what you are doing. The doom and gloom is great and all, but I really like the mysterious stuff too. And lightning round videos are good too. What I'm saying is I like clicking on one of your videos and having no idea what genre I'll be watching, but knowing the presentation will be good.
Totally agree. I constantly hit my subscription pane to see if there's something new from Joe, because it's ALWAYS good. But I love the funny stuff (the "human infestation" one is still my favorite!).
From one workaholic YTer to another. Schedule that movie time! Make a commitment to yourself. Leave the phone and your work thoughts at the door. Take the time off. Its worth it :-)
I used to watch a lot of your Minecraft videos, xisuma. I don't play Minecraft anymore, so I don't really watch Minecraft videos anymore either but it's really nice to see you.
This part is for both you and Joe... Eminem is known as one of the best rappers of our time and he treats working in the studio as a job. He starts at 9am and by 5pm he's done, no matter what he's in the middle of. He says it helps to keep him from being burnt out, which we could arguably say has helped his creative process. I'd say his approach had definitely worked for him.
Keep up the good work. You and Joe have been two of my go-to’s for years. Being a UA-camr is one of those rare jobs that gets to inspire people and bring something new to our lives. Thank you Mr. Void
love this comment. 100%
I really appreciated that you included the poem in your Somerton coverage, it was very tastefully and artistically done ♡
Agreed, that was beautiful
I'm pretty sure I've watched every video you've made since I discovered you just after the pandemic began, and I've enjoyed all of them. Not that every topic has been of interest, but you have a way of presenting that is fun and engaging for me so even when the topic is something less interesting to me, I still enjoy your video.
I can say that having lived in the Seattle area for 35 years there is basically no worry from anyone. We have been hearing about the "big one" for so long and live next to a active volcano so that it's lost it's punch. We also happen to be a nuke target so really it's hard to be worked up
I too have grown up in the Seattle area and agree with all the points made above.
We live on an active fault line with an active volcano and because we have some major military bases in the area we are a nuclear target. It's all true.
It does make you somewhat desensitized to possible catastrophes.
Agreed. Quite used to all of it. Born in Tacoma, lived in Seattle for 14 years, live in Bremerton now.
Also we've got legal weed. We don't get worked up about much.
We keep having minor tremors now and again hopefully relieving some geological stress. I would rather have many small earthquakes than one big one.
I grew up in Seattle and recently moved to Oklahoma City. I think part of it is the Pacific Northwest doesn't really endure significant weather events regularly. Here you get tornadoes nearby frequently and the spectre of doom is ever present as opposed to hypothetical. In 38 years, outside of the Nisqually earthquake, I never thought about disasters but I now side eye every menacing cloud here
perspective:
while the somerton man video didn't get a lot of traction, the people who DID see it, really liked it. for me, its one of my favorite videos you've put out. so, yeah. hopefully that...means something...idk..
Same, I watched it twice, it was so good
As a non-UA-cam-creator, to me it's really interesting to hear about which videos 'tanked' and which videos were more successful. I personally loved the video on the Somerton man, though part of that could be because I already knew a bit about it so getting a video from you about it was extra awesome.
3:01 I think this wasn't intentional. lol
I watch any video of yours without fail. I also enjoyed the Somerton Man even though I had seen other stories about him. It is a truly sad story. I watched it because you usually have something new to add or a different twist on things. You also do a really complete look into your stories. I also love your humor and absolutely wonderful facial expressions. I suppose viewers are fickle and I’m pretty sure the average attention span has shortened dramatically with the advent of tik tok and the like. I love your channel. 👍👍👍👍👍
I don't think the actual content is the problem at all. It's getting a topic people would be interested in, or is "click bait-y" enough. He probably should have went with "Is the Somerton Murderer still at large? Will the murdered come get YOU?"
I hadn’t heard of it till joe. Honestly
@@broadcastliveTV Puzzling and sad story
I loved your Somerton Man video! Ever since I heard of that case years ago, I've sought out and devoured every podcast, video and story I can find about it. Since it's such an old story though I don't see much new and in-depth material about it, but your video delivered! Sorry to hear it tanked BUT I wasn't one of the people that made it tank! Cheers to you Joe and keep making interesting videos about interesting stuff.
I LOVED the Somerton Man video!! I have no idea why it would’ve tanked! It’s such a classic mystery and I hadn’t heard the updates ☺️
I very much loved the Australian man video. As someone who does not know who my biological grandfather is; I found hearing about his possible granddaughter learning about who he was to be incredibly fascinating.
Hey Joe, I never miss a video, just keep doing what you find interesting and the viewers will come.
For the record i found the Somerton Man video fascinating. It was a story i knew pretty well before but you guys found a lot of information that i did not know.
Sorry to hear it didn’t do better, you guys did an awesome job on it!
I think, I have watched every video you uploaded since I started following you a couple years ago. One thing I learned after watching some videos was, that no matter, how "boring" that topic might appear to me, there's still stuff to learn and you're always making the videos interesting, that I can easily follow and don't get bored.
12:33 “Nemesis” was also the name of a star in an Isaac Asimov novel of the same name (1989), which in the story was on a course that would destabilize our solar system. It’s a good read.
I shall read this
He has a youtube channel aswell.
Nevermind, I misremembered. I thought of Isaac Arthur...
@@Thelango99 what's up with Isaac's and being good with science?
ALL Isaac Asimov books are well worth a read.
I'm sure not everyone loves every subject you talk about, but me personally, i live in Adelaide, I've heard the Somerton man story a few times, i thought it was a really cool dive into it, thanks for making it, i really enjoyed it, even if i was in the small handful of people that did.
I admit I didn't watch it because it's been presented before pretty well in other videos.
Absolutely love your subtle humor in your videos. The tiny text at the bottom showing video sources for the movie clips was classic.
Scientists release paper on new existential threat to humanity.
Joe: excited happy butterflies in stomach.
I LOVED the Somerton man vid! I'm shocked it tanked! The story is such a cool mystery. Please, more vids like that. Intrigue and puzzles are cool!
I too have watched all of that video.
...I am unsurprised to find that even here with Joe I'm still part of the fraggin wierdo group.
Thursday videos are back!!! Hell yes. I struggle to hold conversations with my friends about related topics, so watching your videos is sort of an outlet for me. Thank you!
I for one like just about all your videos! Keep going, man. I always learn something new on your channel, and have fun doing it.
The annotations for the video clips @3:50 are brilliant, simple yet brilliant.
Thank you for being a super creative channel. It’s a perfect blend of comedy and education. Netflix should give you your own show.
Personally, I'm more into the science/tech side of things than historical mystery when it comes to individual cases (specially if it involves crimes), but if it's some kind of mystery on a more macro scale, like how X cultural legacy/technology/historical event was mysteriously lost to recorded history or what we know of it in the present doesn't make sense or smth like that, I'd be more curious about it. Doom and gloom videos are appealing as well but that's clear to see.
I agree!
I really like your mystery/historical videos and hope you continue with them.
Joe, I for one loved the video on the Somerton man! I honestly wasn’t going to watch it when you first published it, simply because it’s a story I’ve heard before; then I remembered this is your channel, and I always enjoy your videos, even if - sometimes especially if - it’s a story I’ve heard before.
As for the doom & gloom. I don’t know why, but hearing you talk about it always makes me feel…well, not better…less alone? Let’s just say you sharing your existential dread makes me feel better about mine.
You and your team’s content is always great Joe, even if we don’t always appreciate it the way we should. You are loved and appreciated friend!
I really liked the Sommerton Man video! The format with the poem was really beautiful. My other fav was the Victorian one. I'm an art historian so honestly the super sciency (it's a word!) ones don't keep me engaged.
I loved the "guitar" into, and the Raycon plug was really well done! I love your videos and they put a smile on my face. Or they make the do a lot or research. Both are good. Thanks! (Oh yeah. I am a Patreon member now too!)
Thank you for the reminder to get back into childhood hobbies. Your videos are amazing, and I appreciate your insights. Peace, Love, and Harmony to all of our lives
I haven't watched the whole video, yet, but I'd like to put forward that I grew up just north of Seattle, and currently live in Olympia, so I'm grateful the dreaded "superquake" is being addressed here. I quite enjoy your lightning round episodes as jumping-off points to find topics I might want to research, myself.
Well I for one was happy to see the Somerton Man episode. I prefer the historical mystery episodes, but the Science is useful to know.
Yeah I found it really interesting.
the science for me is "edutainment". More enlightening than something from the Oscars, for example. But I have no real use for graphene batteries, for example. I mean, it's not actually "useful" useful.
I love your stuff Joe. UA-cam screws up exposure on some videos that has nothing to do with your content. You and your writers and editors are fantastic, no matter the topic
The Somerton Man video was really good. The story and how it was presented on this channel was exactly what I'm here for. Even now I still think about the video and the things presented in it. Actually I hope something new comes out of it and we get a revisit here!
Joe please keep doing your mystery videos, I love them. They are one of my favourites of yours.
This is honestly my favorite UA-cam channel thank you for keeping up the great content
I just hit the bell so I can see all your videos. You create incredibly interesting videos with great storytelling and rigorous research.
Well done... the discussion about periodic asteroid bombardments (and what may be causing them) was great.
Dude your sommerton man video was amazing I bet over time it becomes one of your most watched. It's vids like that that got me in to your channel now I don't miss a video when you upload. Keep up good informative videos like that because the obvious research and effort that went in to it is what keeps people like me coming back. Anybody can do doom and gloom videos, but you have a real talent for storytelling/getting people invested in the subject. Appreciate the content brother keep up the good work!
The Somerton Man video was one of my favorites that you’ve created so far! It was a fascinating story. I love the doom and gloom too of course, but I hope the vids you really enjoy making pick up the views/interactions needed to keep the team paid too.
same! i’m a new fan and it was my first video from this channel, and nothing can really beat that :)
The bottom line is we're all torqued up with the anxiety that our ecosystem is collapsing and we want to know about it, so just maybe we can do something about it instead of allowing it to happen. Human beings crave certainty and control and information gives us a sense of control
See GeoCosmic REX channel with Randall Carlson. We`re ALL doomed, if the history of widespread disaster is any indication.
I watch all of your videos no matter the subject because you all do a great job presenting it. I've got the flipping BELL clicked for all notifications for goodness sake.
Thanks for all you and your team does to make each video amazing.
Dude! The Somerton man video was really good. I learned some things I didn’t already know, and you weaved everything together in a cool way.
I think "doom and gloom" being so popular right now is a direct result of the general panic in the ether.
Fear and hopelessness sure do feel like the zeitgeist right now
I don’t think there’s a bad video on this channel. I’ll see a video and think that sounds boring but then watch it and of course it wasn’t boring and I found the video really interesting
That guitar riffs at 3:04... Amazing... I'ma keep watching!
I really enjoyed the Sumerton man video. Hands down one of my favorites in a while. I think the tech stuff is cool, but I hope you keep making some videos like the sumerton man in the future.
The thing about gravitons. If it takes a super collider to excite them, then we would ask need super colliders in our flying cars. But the generational space colony ship could manage it more probably
I’m in Seattle right now!
And without even playing this video I can say: yes.
Ive lived in seattle for 10 years, And I can say, Probably not. Unless they keep up the west seattle bridge.
Just be inland of 1st or 2nd ave and you have a better chance.
@@lukeanakar This made me laugh harder than I probably should have.
In Portland people either somehow don't know about it or have just accepted that it will level everything and aren't doing anything (or at not least nearly enough) to prepare for it.
I learned more from YOUR Somerton man episode than from all previous ones I may have seen/heard before combined, so no apology needed here. Plus, your take on anything is fun. I listen while I work.
Your Somerton Man video was the best-researched examination I've ever seen on the topic and really helped fill in a lot of gaps in various theories.
There's the sound of and editor slapping their own forehead at 3mins. Believe me, I know that sound.
think i want joe to narrate my life and use the tangent cam for every time i made a drunk decision
I loved watching the Something man, I watched it multiple times. Please keep making videos like that
Seems to be a bit more errors then normal. The intro song just playing a few minutes in. And a few transitions a bit wonky.
I live in Bellingham, north of Seattle and most people here have no idea why we even have tsunami sirens, let alone what is going to cause this eventual wave. The mega-thrust fault/subduction zone scares the 💩 out of me. This country and our planet is screwed in lots of ways but this one will be like Katrina but 20 times worse right here at my doorstep... Easily double that if it sets off the San Andreas fault at or near the same time. Ugh.
See GeoCosmic REX channel with Randall Carlson.
I come across info about the Carrington even pretty often in my ham radio hobby. We pay a lot of attention to the sun, especially sun spots.
just so you know joe, I love all of your videos. everytime I get a notification from you I pretty much instantly watch it
Great video Joe! Having been raised here in Seattle, it faces many natural risks. However, it is doomed for a different reason. As opposed to natural catastrophes, we are currently experience a cultural one. That's a different conversation though which I will not have on UA-cam.
Smart man, smart man. I live in cap hill and am probably im more danger than the coastal people
I was born in Seattle and enjoyed going into the city in my youth. Now, I won't get off I-5 even if the low gas light in on in my car.
The mountains around us here in Seattle are so mesmerizing that we’re lured into staying and hoping to buy a million dollar house or two! Lol
Tbh, the doom topic on my mind living in the greater Seattle area is the drug use/homelessness/ black crime rates shooting through the roof- these factors are more likely on the minds of Seattlelites than a volcano.
Well I would much rather watch a video about this topic than those, as someone from seattle
Mystery videos like the Somerton Man one are *great*. Thanks for taking the effort.
Watching a Joe Scott video is like visiting an old friend....thanks Joe - we appreciate you!
I just realised you look a bit like Nicolas Cage.
So we are to be blamed for the doom and gloom? 🤣
Joe, I really feel you on the hobbies bit. I haven't really done any of my hobbies over the last, 2 years. Just working. ... and a cellphone game I'm addicted to.
@Joe Scott, I never comment but always watch; this really got me at 00:03:50. I also have no clue how the popular actors are anymore, we gettin old bud, it happens. But about the convincing yourself of movies being part of work - that's because you have a solid work ethic, and that's also important. Many do not. IMO, to stop working and building and creating is to lose a very important part of yourself. Never stop sir, never stop. (but also yes, hobbies are important too, but they change over time)
Umm... You want some help with guitar?
Whatever video you make, I will watch it. Your videos are my highlights of the week.
i definitely started watching your channel because of one of your videos about doom & gloom (i think it was the one about plagues that i saw first) but i realllllyyy enjoy your videos about new technology & cool science ♡
I really enjoyed the Somerton video. I heard that story before, but I thought you did a FAR more thorough job with it. It was a great video! I would love to see a more thorough video of the Green Children of Woolpit. I think that would be a great topic to sink your teeth into. I also LOVED the springheel jack video!
I like your content mostly because of the subjects you cover. I stopped paying attention to the topics except to check if i have seen it before. But i also want to mention that was the best opening you have done. I laughed out loud. Great job
Somerron Man was the first video I watched on your channel cause I was interested after the history channel did an unsolved mystery show on it and I thought it was fantastic! Idk why it didn’t do as well as your other videos, but it’s what got me to subscribe, so it will still be my favorite
Somerton man was the first video of yours I saw, and now I'm binging your entire channel
I love your humour, Joe. Been watching for many years. Thanks for sharing the joy. The guitar bit, lol. So subtle.
That's a bummer about the Somerton video! That is one of my favorites you've done recently! It didn't tank in my heart, Joe!
So as someone who moved away from Washington this past year, I understand that it's quite possible that the Cascadian earthquake might not happen for hundreds of years. But that said, I am happier to be in Arizona where I can ignore a slow death by megadrought rather than a possible huge earthquake followed by a massive lahar flow from Mt. Rainier.
That "brick-breaker" game was in a beautiful, in video and sound game on the Commodore AMIGA, using colored bricks (shiny gold, for example) and ringing bell-like sounds then a brick was destroyed. One of the most easy on the eye and ear games I have ever played.
Joe your Somerton Man video was very good, don't lose hope mate! I was chuffed that you did an Australian story!
On the off chance you read this, I like you're history/mystery stuff way more because you're great at it. You have the perfect tone, you don't exaggerate, you know when to joke and when to be sensitive, you don't go for sensationalism and you deliver it in a matter of fact way and you actually present the less exciting but more probable theories on them. Those videos were the reason I subscribed and the ones I go back to and rewatch. Please do more of them.
Joe I love those mystery videos or new technology videos most of all. Everyone leans into worst case scenarios on most channels I watch and it’s a wonderful contrast because it always sparks curiosity instead of dread. Even if world ending scenarios are what get the views please don’t erase the others entirely.
LOL I loved the Somerton video. Love the Channel and all it’s content!!
I’m surprised the Somerton Man video didn’t do as well as the others! The bizarre and macabre ones are my favorite and i always assumed everyone else did - especially after your “beheading” video and its crazy popularity. Those videos are what i signed up for - i love the more “big picture” ones for sure but theres a certain charm in your matter-of-fact glib presentation of a subject that isn’t often found in videos on the more macabre topics. They’re my faves for sure.
I spend a lot of time on UA-cam and I'm subscribed to a lot of channels, however the only channel I watch religiously is this one. Mondays, in my life, are Joedays. I always look forward to Mondays. And if Joe posts a video on Thursdays, it's a bonus.
Anyways, when I saw the Somerton Man thumbnail I was like "meh, okay... I'll watch". But it was really interesting. That's the video I'll remember the most from all the videos Joe has posted so far this year. So I guess sometimes we don't know what we might find interesting or not. That's what so great about this channel. It's such a wide spectrum of topics to get you hooked on new ideas, technologies or history. You don't learn new things by watching the same themes over and over.
So Joe, please just continue to post videos on anything you find interesting.
Thank you for the great videos through the years Joe ! 🔥💪🏽you are tha man
I grew up on Vancouver Island and as a child was constantly told about "The big one". In elementary school, we had regular earthquake drills. As I grew up, I realised the stress about it wasn't quite worthwhile. It is definitely something good to be aware about. Not something worth stressing over. Just have a plan setup. Move on with the day.
Loves Mondays. The kitchen does be sparkling because I watch your video. Other half is going to be happy again tonight 😀
I have followed the Tamam Shud since I heard about it in the early days of the ~spooky internet~ I considered myself to have a good understanding of the case, and yet your video was still massively informative. Even to someone who felt they understood the case deeply. Extremely well done
Love your work mate!
I thought your video on the somerton man was excellent!! I loved it and learn things I had not known! Loved it!!!!
I loved Somerton Man!! The reason I am a Patreon supporter of yours is BECAUSE of your genuine curiosity about...all sorts of things. For goodness sakes don't let the bastard algorithms kill your joy!!!
I really enjoyed the Somerton man video! I have heard the story a billion times everywhere, but the video was still fresh.
I watched your Somerton man video! The three of us all really enjoyed it!
I get around to watching everything you make Joe sooner or later. Some are better than others, but time is a precious commodity when you're old.
I was super excited about last weeks video!
Don’t let them get you down! The Sommertan Man episode was awesome (just like the Isdal Woman, Peter Bergman, etc.) I wanna see all kinds of videos: science/technology, the supernatural/unexplained, all of it.
I always like your content joe. I will go back and watch that episode again and comment and like it just to make sure it counts
