Excited to watch this interview. I enjoyed the last one and I'm sure this one will be no different. What you said about key visuals stuck out to me. I do something similar in my videos when it comes to things I know I want to show. I honestly probably found out about you from the last interview so I'm going to check out the channel now that I have more context. Also, I kept thinking to myself, she reminds me of a famous actress. But I couldn't think of who. Now I think I know who it is. Kiera Knightley. Has anyone ever told you that? 😂

I do wonder if larger media companies will start producing more content for KZbin. Waiting for scripted series to be exclusive to KZbin. The problem for most film makers would be the budget, which could be less of an issue with a media company. Could KZbin one day be more like a Spotify? Where lots of traditional TV shows and movies are uploaded to take advantage of the pay per view system?

she's proving that YT is not for everyone anymore: 1. she's a pro, many years of hard work under her belt 2. she already had an audience from Vox/Netflix 3. She already had a network to connect to 4. Most likely paid to further an agenda (that technology is inherently good)

Trends are always the same, just give people some fun and knowledge in your content, and you are good to go. Of course, it can be tough to get to that point when you are noticed enough (that's why I am using a little bit of Famester for every video I post).

Cleo is a one of a kind National Treasure! She is in a class of her own and functions at a level that literally sets the bar in intelligence, content and production. When you watch her videos, you realize that she is genuinely excited about what she does. Her expressions are real, and she is sharing her actual experience in real time. The camera is simply following her around while she enthusiastically learns and teaches at the same time. She is so humble and brilliant, and her enthusiasm is contagious. I don't think she even realizes how great her contribution is.

Cleo has an amazing ability to tell a story or convey a narrative, she is clearly very intelligent and curious, she asks the questions that occur to me and then asks experts for answers. It doesn't hurt that she "presents well", but more importantly she has the ability to break down complex ideas into simpler "bite size" pieces, so it makes the viewer feel smarter for having watched. What really blows me away is the production value in her videos... they don't feel like a "youtuber" video, they feel like professionally produced TV shows.

As much as I love watching Cleo for her relatability, she's obviously brilliant about media and her heading a media group would make for a huge set of fascinating content.

Cleo's content is fantastic: optimistic and rigourous. A sweet spot that perfectly matches the successful academic's vibe, and all of our need for hopeful news. The bitter part is coming back to reality after watching, which is harder if your work is a scientist's. Most people don't know much about the video's topics, and even less about how unrewarding and unfair the work can be. Mental health issues are common among young scientists, which get the most frustration, but get the least rewards out of it. If I could ask for something, it would be to see some disucssion of this topic, especially form an optimitsts view. ;) That being said, thanks for the videos. I hope the channel can keep growing and bringing more optimistic stories to everyone.

I click on cleo's videos with very little interest or knowledge of the subject matter, then she goes into such detail of explaining what it is and how many resources go into making it and the moment I ask "but why" is when she comes in asking the same question but then adding an even bigger question. Why did we build that. Wait why do we want to build an even bigger one?

Cleo is one of my favorites on youtube. brings back that OG mythbusters-esque vibe where its just based in curiosity, which is extremely relatable.

@@dadlife8289 You're describing a blueprint which many have followed but is absolutely not necessary to succeed and call yourself a KZbinr. Look at Casey Neistat who had a TV series then dominated KZbin for a period with those skills.

The CERN video is what made me realize her talent. Great job Cleo.

Great interview. I also think it’s the first one in C&S history where they didn’t bring up MrBeast at some point. (Kind of a running game I have to see how fast he’ll get mentioned in their conversations).

I had not heard of Huge If True, nor Cleo. So I watched three of her episodes (including CERN), to see what the buzz was about. Certainly the episodes are topical and interesting if the door to them is opened just a crack. And the production values employed are outstanding. But so much of what makes this engaging is Cleo herself - her enthusiasm, how she generates a sense of curiosity by the viewer, etc. I'm reminded of James Burke's Connections series from decades ago. I'll posit that if you take any of these episodes, with the same script and accompanying media, and give it to Taylor Swift (pick your most commanding entertainer) to deliver, they would fall flat. I am now a subscriber.

This was so helpful. I’ve been racking my brain on how to make my home tour, videos and community videos so much more interesting and this gives me a better idea as to how I can approach and still build a great personal brand within something that’s kind of… boring. no better way to put it

I love Samir’s pyramid metaphor to make a decision about Netflix. Smth any creator considering the multi platform approach should follow.

For me personally, it was the void set by unfortunate sabbatical Dianna Cowern(Physics Girl), an incredibly special physics educator on the platform, that led me discovering Cleo. Cleo is an amazing educator on her own right, and I was only just glad people were still making PBS-style long format tech and physics videos. Her journalism background also makes her video really digestable which I love. Great videos to listen to during Cardio days at the gym!
@NasiFelesАй бұрын
Came to the comments to look/say this exact same thing. I think part of her rise was from the absence of Dianna. They are different but similar. (also, I don't know of they mention it in the video, only 13 minutes into it)

Yo guys, there are few vids that are so exciting like this one! Love the questions Colin & Samir, especially about the business part of running a show (not a channel) on YT.
