the fact that this absolutely fire, eye opening, original video has less than a thousand views is absurd. you are incredibly underrated like seriously this was super entertaining and informative and up to par with some of the biggest commentary channels with millions of subs and i really hope you get the recognition you deserve soon!
I scrolled up to subscribe expeceting you to be in the thousands. Keep up this quality and it'll be inevitable
And so, it did! How long you think till he reaches a million?
This is the most uninformed dogshit imaginable. The whole thing is to appear like a channel that has a million viewers and produce long enough videos with high enough vocabulary to trick less intelligent people like yourself into believing this channel has any quality or any cogent observations to make.

Box Tops are so nostalgic to me. I miss the days of me and my family cutting Box Tops on ceral boxes.
I’ve been looking for this video. Thank you
Quality. I mainly wondered if box tops was still a thing.. bought a box of lucky charms and said imma youtube this shit. Man i wqs not disappointed. Bro came thru with the entertainment and knowledge!
I was a couple minutes into watching a video about "The Power" episode of regular show when they mentioned box tops. I decided tk search if there were any videos about box tops. So glad i found your channel, going to binge watch the rest of your stuff, keep it up!
Quality video with quality topic!! I love it!!
Oh damn he did it again, why you make me learn so much
So I've just finished watching this video, and while I was captivated by the active and direct presentation style, I did have more than a couple of issues with the video's form and content. Sorry in advance, I ended up typing a lot :/
Mainly, I find myself struggling to grasp the crux of your argument. I can't ascertain whether or not you think Box Tops is a beneficial or detrimental program or if it's some combination of both, or if it's in need of reform, or ought to be trashed. I feel like some of this ambiguity comes from the fact that you provided relatively little context and few real-world examples of the impact Box Tops has had on the schools it serves. If you had those examples and context, I think that would have grounded your essay a little more. Like, the title claims that Box Tops keeps schools poor, but in the essay the harm done to low-income communities by Box Tops is that it's largely inaccessible, which isn't the same as "keeping schools poor." Related to this, I watched this video with my friend who did grow up low-income and she does not agree that Box Tops had ever been inaccessible to low-income neighborhoods, and I think you would have been able to sell that point more convincingly if you had provided evidence for your claim.
You touched on a lot of really interesting aspects of this scenario, like why companies are pivoting to apps, or whether or not private corporate fundraising belongs in schools, but none of them are explored very deeply. And I feel like just one of those topics alone could fill up eleven minutes (likely more!). On the other hand, some of things you talked about I found to be less relevant, like the nutritional value of General Mills foods, or the vilifying of teachers during the conversation about why schools are underfunded.
I also want to talk about your sources... For one, I think you should adopt a standard citation style soon. In addition to just being more professional, it's more comprehensive and allows us to see where exactly you've pulled your ideas from. I did go to read the The Atlantic article you linked in the description and I noticed that your recanting of the history of corporate school fundraisers is structured similarly to that of the article. But the way you've cited the article doesn't make it clear that those were the parts that you referenced for the video. I also looked up the two books in your description (which does not specify that they are books, and which lack even the author's name), and while I found them really compelling as sources, I can't say I could draw a clear connection between your video and the ideas presented in those books. Which is such a shame, because I think those books are the strongest sources you have. The articles have a surface-level account of the scenario and they're also really short! I do like the newspaper archive, but I think if you pulled from those books with page numbers and quotes, that would definitely bolster your argument and probably give you something a bit deeper and more tangible to stand on.
Overall, I liked the style and headers, the presentation was great, but I think the actual argument has a lot of cleanup work to be done. But I'm wishing you well on your UA-cam journey!
damn this quality is great
