I hate it how few views you actually get. Your content is something very valuable to the humanity as a whole, it should be promoted everywhere, like literally. Not just because science doesn’t get enough respect from peasants alike, but because we don’t wanna go into Idiocracy movie IRL, which is going to only be closer and closer each year if we just ignore it.
