I think Vsauce is a lot more grifty than he looks. If you look at the really early videos they were very different and he changed his content wildly in order to find something that makes the most money with the least work. The science education happened to be profitable but as the Meta started favouring more than 10+ min and science vids became mini documentaries he just dropped off and started reviewing science toys and do compilation videos. Right now he is doing a lot of shorts because they are being pushed by the algorithm.

How is he going to be able to handle more videos when he has to ration text views because it’s melting his servers.

Let’s not be too hard on him. Being mod over 1000+ is a mental illness that reddit forced us to put up with.
