I think my immediate feedback is simply this: "Want." Note: I've got a 7-year-old and a 10-year-old. This has been taken into consideration, and summarily ignored.

Styropyro puts out some crazy videos! See also: "100 car batteries wired in parallel!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywaTX-nLm6Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywaTX-nLm6Y

  He's had some health issues this year and hasn't been posting. I'm just happy to see him active again.

    I'm shocked he's still alive. Only person I'd be less shocked to hear died from bad safety is Cody. (From Cody's lab)

I used to work in an office which briefly had a commercially available 4KW microwave in the coffee area. I used to like it because it was fast. Unfortunately several other people failed to appreciate that you had to take the 800W timings and divide by 5, and it was quickly removed after several people set fire to their food.

Why can't these youtubers be human? Everything about this guy speaks fake. The demeanor, the voice, everything.

  And yet, he's real. Have you never seen a fit, attractive, smart, enthusiastic, person before?

    The person in the video is not "real". No one speaks like that

      In a sense, doesn't speaking naturally in front of a camera require you to be more fake? It's not the easiest thing to do, trying to address audience without any feedback, looking at a black object sitting in a room, in multiple attempts and with random interruptions needed to fix technical issues or change shot, while pretending that it is all part of normal, continuous discussion. People watch him because he is genuinely good at what he does, not because of his presentation or editing skills.

      There are videos on his instgram page of him doing Q&As at hacker events and he talks the same way.

      Just for yourself, write a short script for a youtube video. Try to make it engaging, even if it's just a paragraph. Then put your phone up on your desk, put your script next to it. Read the script and record yourself. Also go out and meet more people.

  Your reactions are as interesting as the video
