Having skimmed their further reading section for this video, I’m happy to see how seriously this channel takes its research. And as became apparent from the video itself, it was supported by Open Philanthropy and FHI.
Other random things I learned about the channel:
The channel is headquartered in Munich.
“In 2013 an average video took about 150 hours. In 2015 it was about 250 hours. Now in 2021 we spend around 1200 hours per video.” (From their Patreon.)
Besides their free “kurzgesagt” videos, they also do commercial animation projects, and it’s a bizarre experience to see an ad (e.g. one for “Macorva”) with the same animation and narration as their “kurzgesagt” videos.
