I guess unplugging is really the only way to go when you rely on the internet to pay your rent and stuff. The conundrum appears when you can't unplug frequently because you know... plugging in is technically your job. I don't envy your position (although I would also like to be in a position where my videos could fully support me), but yeah you might want to call every winter off and say, "Ciao, I'm disappearing like the sun above the arctic circle." Personally I wouldn't mind waiting for longer if that meant better videos, or videos that were released with a less stressful mindset. I'm subscribed to CGP Grey. Waiting for several months for a video isn't a new concept to me. That being said, I'm sure the numbers on KZitem show you better than it shows me that infrequent - especially horribly infrequent - uploads don't really help you out in the game against The Algorithm. In any case, I love your work, take care :) -- an undergrad physics student who also wants to do youtube cuz why the fuck not

I've been treading on a thin line during my two years of phd (in Geological modelling, s'pose you're familiar with the concept) and to be fair, I haven't watched a lot of your videos but I've never regretted any of those 10 minutish. Thanks man! I really aspire to reaching that "Apotheosis" feeling you described.

Interesting, thanks. Here in Finland the process (as I have witnessed it from outside) is slightly different. PhD thesis is sent out for "precheck" to 2 senior researchers. They need to agree that the work is sufficient/suitable for PhD, otherwise the the process does not go forward. Precheckers do give comments and requests so that corresponds to what you describe as changes. But it is the final version that is published&submitted to a public and oral examination (like viva, I assume) and it is then very rare that the thesis would be rejected.

Congratulations to being one step closer to being completely free! I think major corrections have a bigger stigma for PhDs but as you explained it's not as "major" as it sounds. I spoke to Steve Cross recently who essentially echoed your sentiments stating that he got major corrections, it took a few days of extra analysing of data and that was that. Hope to see more content from you in the future!
