It's funny how, after years of hearing his voice and not seeing his face, seeing his face puts me in smack in the middle of the uncanny valley.

- wruza 2y agoHe featured multiple times before with Matt Parker and Brady Haran (NF), strange that you missed it. Although I guess even in this niche channel preferences vary wildly.
- bonoboTP 2y agoWhat's NF? ChatGPT thinks it refers to Numberphile in this comment, but wouldn't that be NP? I've never seen Numberphile abbreviated as NF.
- wruza 2y agoMy bad, ph is not my first language’s foneme.
- taneq 2y agoWe phorgive you.
- OrderlyTiamat 2y agoI'm assuming Numberphile indeed, as that's the most likely for a Brady Haran channel with 3b3b as a guest.
- fragmede 2y agoYes, Numberphile, as confirmed by looking up Brady Haran in Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_Haran https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_Haran
- phlakaton 2y agoHis commencement addresses might really freak you out, then! See e.g. https://youtu.be/z7GVHB2wiyg https://youtu.be/z7GVHB2wiyg
- ozzydave 2y agoOne of the best commencement speeches I’ve seen.
- raverbashing 2y agoEspecially because when narrating the audio is better than someone being filmed casually, that small difference can get really weird
- cruffle_duffle 2y agoI feel like quite a few of the content creators I watch are starting to “show their face”, though the big one that comes to mind is the Real Engineering guy. A few of his newest videos have had him acting a bit like a host, interviewer and narrator. It’s also weird when some of these creators swap with somebody else, like veratasium has had his producer do some of the videos instead. The big reveal would be AvE.
- pests 2y agoI noticed a few of the people I watch revealed their face last year before the big collab with Mark Rober.
- ravetcofx 2y agoI used to like AvE till COVID. Then he became an anti-masker conspiratorial nutjob.
- nkrisc 2y agoI mean, kind of sounds like he never really changed, just your opinion of him did.
- zen928 2y agoFramed differently, it sounds like the youtuber opportunisticially divulged some of their true thoughts on topics slowly over time that would have alienated members of their audience had they known who and what they were initially supporting. Pretty cowardly, but not an uncommon tactic amongst his similar peers. In light of receiving new information that goes against your own tenants against poorly researched misinformation, changing your opinion isn't really a noteworthy response.
- the_gorilla 2y ago> Framed differently Framed in an insane way by someone looking to denigrate someone they don't like. I have no idea who you're targeting but you obviously have a chip on your shoulder.
- philipwhiuk 2y agoThis means you missed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOCsdhzo6Jg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOCsdhzo6Jg which is hillarious
- teekert 2y agoSame same, now imagine him singing… https://youtu.be/djzKCZHeVjY?si=mw0P14f_hUE_kIlW https://youtu.be/djzKCZHeVjY?si=mw0P14f_hUE_kIlW I love that people like this exist.
- Izkata 2y agoHe started revealing his face in 2020 as a way to help people maintain human connection during lockdowns. A huge number of the comments on the video were about his channel name and icon, one of his eyes actually looks like that.
- brianpan 2y agoWell, now we know what the logo and the channel name is referencing! (His eye)
- quectophoton 2y agoRandall Munroe from xkcd is a stick figure (cueball), and you can't convince me otherwise.
- phlakaton 2y agoHis "What if?" videos have his actual voice, and it sounds nothing like a stick figure. Horrors.
