Why Is It So Hard to Make a Decision?

[@alien9279]

Really gonna miss this channel:( been here since the very very start, amd watched every video since. To the future! I'll see you on scishow hank

I have also been here since the first video. It is sad to see something so good come and go :(

[@K0h4ku42]

Indeed sad! Thanks for the love of the social sciences!!!

[@eliljeho]

Could come back, but it requires funding and other things. There will be scishow videos on psychology occasionally too.

[@grimnirnacht]

Same 😢

[@Kamel419]

wow, i remember voting for scishow psych for which type of channel you should make. i was thrilled when you all decided on psych, and now just as sad to see it go. this channel has enriched my life and meant a lot to me. i would have liked to hear more about why, it feels very abrupt.

[@thumper5555]

This channel has never been nearly as popular as the main channel, and perhaps after 5 years it has not become the money maker they'd hoped for. Only they know for sure though.

[@lijohnyoutube101]

@@thumper5555 They do a horrible job of marketing their other channels.

[@Bom-pff]

The same content will get more views on their bigger main channel. Because more exposure and because... well, algorithms.

This channel influenced me to do a master's degree in cognitive psychology, move to another country, and make a lot of efforts because of that; but its existence reminds me that it was worth it because we really need better science and divulgation in psychology to face so many challenges we have as human beings nowadays. It saddens me to know that the channel did not have enough popularity, being that psychology is one of the topics where we need urgently more education and quality information, as PsyShow regularly does in their videos. But I am also very grateful for everything they did. People suffering from mental illness are in a more inclusive world thanks to many efforts, and this channel was certainly one of them. Thank you sincerely for everything you did!

[@amanatee27]

I trust you all know what you're doing in consolidating the channels, but I really hope the main channel still produces a robust number/quality of psych episodes! Thank you for everything you've put into this series!

[@Stargazer.]

Thank you so much for all your work. I'll miss this channel very much. In part, it was thanks to content from this channel that I got into neuroscience so much that I plan to pursue it as my second major besides physics. I'll be looking forward to enjoying all the content over in the main channel, but SciShow Psych will keep a special place in my heart 💜

[@Nosajsom]

This was really nice while it lasted. Thanks everyone that worked on making it what it was!

[@IanGrams]

Wow, has it really been 5 years already? Feels like just yesterday there was the vote on what topic to cover for a new channel. I'm sad to see the end of SciShow Psych but I guess it just didn't grow enough to become self-sustaining. I think I recall hearing somewhere Brit moved away from Missoula so that may have been a factor as well. Thank you to Hank, Brit, Anthony, and everyone else on the Complexly team that made this a wonderful 5 years. You've taught me a lot and I look forward to new episodes on psychology topics on the main channel. DFTBA ✌️

[@Elmerphant]

Thank You Hank & Team at SciShow Psych for all the hard work and content! You guys singlehandedly got me through my BA in Psychology lol. I learn through videos (audio & visual) so these videos were everything! I hope you keep them free for people to access because these videos can help so many more people in future. Seriously love you guys!!!

[@TheDestoyer24]

This is and will be my favorite SciShow branch ever! Discovering you all through 2 Teachers, (Scishow only) from High School, and bringing that curiosity home to discover the treasure trove of academics the KZbin Algorithm has curated from your channels presence. Psych, Space, Show, and more- all of them digital lexicons on The Evolution of Knowledge. I'll miss all of the wonderful faces. Thank you all for being apart of the success in my Life.

[@mbuhtz]

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this channel, and I look forward to the occasional psych topic on SciShow prime ❤️

[@barrydysert2974]

SciShow Prime. i like that !:-)

[@pepetru]

Thank you for all the works on the SciShow Psych! And I also appreciate that you'll keep discussing about psychology on the SciShow!

[@RavenFilms]

I can’t believe it’s been FIVE years!!!! I remember participating in the vote that brought about this channel. Though this channel wasn’t the one I voted for, I have thoroughly enjoyed it over the years. Thank you for all the knowledge you’ve provided.

[@artilleryisbetter]

Thanks for all your hard work Hank and SciSHow Psych team. I only recently discovered this channel from the main channel but will be looking forward to seeing past videos from here!

[@Seaotter1821]

Thank you all so much for helping us to understand the complexities and amazing aspects of our minds! I'm excited that you'll still be covering this on SciShow!

[@TheContrariann]

Our Sir used to say "When you can't decide what the right decision is - JUST TAKE THE DECISION AND MAKE IT RIGHT!" But every time I take a decision, the 'other one' that I did not took turns out to be right P.S. Gonna miss this channel though, it had a dedicated community that followed it. Anyways posting all the future videos on SciShow makes more sense as it's 6 Million+ subscribers will provide more reach to the videos. HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!

[@thumper5555]

Dont just make it right. Making a decision that turned out poorly and working to "make it the right one" is not good.

[@CulixIII]

It's sad to see this channel come to an end, but thank you for the wonderful time while it lasted. ^_^ Consolidating in the main SciShow channel can't have been a decision you all made lightly. Here's hoping for more great psych content on the main channel, rubbing elbows with the other great science content!

[@washulis]

Among all Sci Show channels, this one was my fav by far. Sad to know it gets routed in with the other content, I hope many new enlightening shows about our psychology are yet to come. Cheers!

[@nick.raptis]

ScienceShow psych might not be the channel I mostly consume, but, apart from John's sunset videos, are the ones that have helped me the most. Will still be here when you decide to bring back the channel. Cheers ❤

[@metametodo]

Hard to see it go, but it was a great pleasure to watch almost every single episode of it while it lasted. The riches I got from learning here cannot be overstated.

[@sukki6052]

This channel started when i just started studying for my degree in psych. It has definitely been a great companion all these years. Thank you for the great content! ❤

[@Pikminiman]

Thanks very much for covering decision difficulty. I found this episode comforting. It's a particularly valuable topic to cover right at the end of the channel.

[@XRaym]

Watching scishow since day 1, one of the first patreons... Sad to hear that this is over :( it is a great channel with great hosts... too bad ! 😥

[@MayankKumar-so6sr]

Thanks a lot team for all the hard work you guys have put all those years. Will definitely keep coming back to old episodes cause why not.

[@NotHPotter]

Has it really been 5 years? Wow. So glad to see this repository of information will stay available.

[@gabrielarantest]

Aww man... Really sad to see this channel go. Thank you for all the videos done so far. I hope to see scishow psych content on the sci channel.

[@carpemkarzi]

Damn. Well I know you’re not going anywhere so sad to see this channel fade, but SciShow will always be a place I want to visit. Thanks for all the great content.

[@madsringswaldegan1687]

Thank you for all of your work!! I’ve been watching SciShow religiously since before this channel started, and this was what convinced me to minor in psychology!! To all of the hosts: I love u

[@phunkyMacK]

loved this channel, sad to see it go! but glad to hear SciShow will continue!

[@ryandoesstuffapparently1540]

Noooooo. This is my favourite of the scishow channels.

[@annnakarenina]

I will miss this channel too, I’ve used so many of these videos in my classroom. I hope you’ll continue making fascinating and informative psych videos on the main scishow channel though. See you there!

[@1234j]

Thank you SO much for all your efforts and videos. Will miss you here. Good luck!

[@lesleyghostdragon3149]

Thank you for all the wonderful episodes, the hosts and topics you presented on SciShow Psych. Please continue all the goodness on the main channel. You guys are absolutely awesome xoxo

[@CourtOfWinter]

As someone from an opt-out country: It's also worth mentioning that most people in my country don't seem to be aware of us being opt-out.

[@Kamel419]

I agree, I think this video also makes it clear that people may be signed up that wish to opt-out but haven't gotten around to it.

[@matthewchanschweitze]

Sad to see it go. Y’all are amazing for everything you do!

[@colorsofjasperbyvilma]

I am so glad to hear you will still provide the same content on your main channel 😊 Thanks guys

[@jcespinoza]

Thank you SciShow Psych team, we loved every episode! You're legends!

[@shadowdagger2]

Thank you! You are an excellent teacher. I look forward to getting updates from the main channel!

[@sp9127]

I must say that the end of this awesome concept came as a sad surprise. I REALLY hope SSP will come back in the future. Thank you for everything and wishing the whole gang the very best.

[@bekahpainter8156]

I'll miss the channel. I have really enjoyed having this separate channel, so that I can get both your general content plus the content you've provided here.

[@racehen]

The end of an era!!! Also explains hank’s “six flags before telling you that grandma died” disposition here

[@hartonotandjoeng2314]

This video is more about difficulties in starting doing things and following up, not really on difficulties of making decision

[@paraalso]

The specific plan approach might work with cigarette packaging labeling regulation. Many countries mandate the packaging to have scary pictures of lung cancer or messages that cigarettes cause cancer, but maybe having specific action items on how the buyer could stop or reduce smoking today would be more effective.

[@CarthagoMike]

Thank you for all the dedication you have given to this channel. I am looking forward to watching more psychology videos on the main channel next year!

[@ritatiffany4640]

So the sponsor for the decision video gives you more choice in news, I see you Scishow!

[@sallyhansen7968]

Agreed! I will check them out

[@sirdeadlock]

Glad you'll still be making videos. Thanks for keeping me informed about interesting things.

[@fratiorgan]

I'm really sad to see this go.😢 It helped me better understand my mental health journey. I am very thankful for all that it has done. Thank You for the time and help that you gave us all. 😭

[@JustMeJH]

Wow! This is a great channel. May I suggest that when you post a psychological topic on the main channel that you also post it here on SciShow Psych? That way this channel lives on and it’s new content keeps people coming here, also helping your revenue in on Psych. It would seem like a paired down SciShow Psych, an active, money making channel that you aren’t actually funding.

[@Locut0s]

I have found it transformative to my life to try to lean more and more into not allowing my brain the time to processes decisions and just taking SOME kind of action. Practicing mindfulness watching myself in the present moment choosing to do the action maybe even while my brain is screaming at me to stop and think about it more. It's freeing.

[@DevPreston]

I'm so sorry to see this channel go. I'm glad that the main channel will be covering psych issues now, but I am concerned that I will lose sight of them in my feed because I am much less likely to watch as high a proportion of the main channel's videos. Fingers crossed, and thanks for all the great content to you have put out here over the years.

[@punxchickreject]

We support you Hank! Thank you for everything you do! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also, you're not allowed to stop Scishow Kids, my child is addicted! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@samanthahockley1015]

Omg this is heart braking. Thank you so much for all the amazing videos on this channel over the years

[@WaterIsLife77]

So, I've been diagnosed with OCD. I really appreciated the fact that your psych info was on a separate channel. It was actually cathartic. This may be good exposure therapy for me. Anyhoo, I'll see you guys on the main channel. Thank you for continuing to make psych content.Take care.

[@rogue3398]

Gosh dangit I JUST FOUND this gem of a channel and it's already made my life so much better. Now it's going away.

[@victor9]

All good as long as you continue to provide psychological support to get us through this pandemic, I am grateful! Thank you

[@MP-cs9qc]

Thank you Hank for all the amazing lectures on scishowpsych.

[@taidashar7]

Thank you for everything, sad to see you all go, as with some of the other channels you have but will be back to watch the main channel.

[@bobbiscub]

Oh man, so sad to hear about this channel ending! This is one of my favorite channels!

[@Alverant]

It's been a good run. I enjoyed SciShow Psych and will continue to support the main channel. Maybe it will reappear again in some form in the future or you'll start a new spinoff channel so psych news can be featured more often on the main channel. It's your channel so you know what's best. Thanks for everything.

[@KilgoreTroutAsf]

This is imo why visualization is important in order to get something done. If you cant even think of a concrete action plan, even if flawed or tentative, it is much harder to get the motivation to do the first step.

[@sethnaugle984]

Atleast there will still be Sci shows. When he said indefinite hiatus I was alittle upset but then he said future shows in 2022 I was relieved.

[@dkdrock456]

Sad to hear this channel is going down, but I'm hoping the change will expose more people to psychology information, news, and concepts, allowing more people to consider the mind, mental health, and how we feel, through the Main SciShow channel. Oh, and maybe we could have a Psych Playlist on the Main Channel?

[@The_Cyber_System]

Oh no! I'll be sad to see it go. It's been very helpful with my therapy and in educating a lot of people I know about what's going on for me. It's also helped me learn about other conditions that I didn't understand or didn't know about.

[@little_forest]

It is sad, that the SciShowPsych Channel is not continued, though it does not come as too much of a surprise, since there seemed to have been a change some weeks/months ago in all SciShow Channels. For example I was already missing one host, I do not know her name, who specifically was hosting episodes of the Psych Channel. My thoughts are also with her, I really enjoyed her hosting the shows! In general, I am curious as to what exactly the changes behind the scenes are, that the SciShowChannels go through. Anyways, happy holidays!

[@SpiralMagic]

Thank you for all the information you've shared throughout the years! I've loved every video

[@MamguSian]

Oh no! I'll miss this channel 😥 Thank you for all the fantastic videos I've enjoyed so much and learnt so much from. You will be sadly missed by many I'm sure. I bet this was a hard decision to make. 💖

[@jeffboudwin7833]

Awe sad sad sad news! As a therapist I will really miss this channel!! I hope the hiatus will end sooner then later.

[@laserkei]

Sad to see the channel go... I enjoyed seeing all your video thru out the years.

[@liseturner1019]

I like Canada's in between system for organ donation. Whenever you renew your license or health card, they ask you. So you have to answer the question either way and neither option is inaction. It also means you have affirmative consent for everyone who's registered. Our registration rat is 43% which is in between.

[@AngryKittens]

It's been 5 years already?! I remember voting for the planned "new" SciShow channel a while back. 5 years! :o

[@LetsTakeWalk]

Took me 2 hours before I decided to watch this video. (Which was published 15 minutes ago at the time of writing)

[@augustlizabethmoore]

AWWWWW..... That's sad, but hey, I'm glad we will still get content!

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

So. Goodbye. Sort of. I’m glad the topics will still be covered.

[@artemaeus]

Aw ;_; thanks for the heads up. I appreciate the hard work from the team behind Sci show psych & Sci show

[@KittyRenee1212]

:'( this is one of my favorite channels. I love all of the SciShows, and it'll be sad to see this one go T_T SciShow Psych will be missed

[@armstrong.r]

I literally just discovered this channel and subscribed after watching videos on the main channel for years. What a coincidence.

[@swimdownx6365]

Talk about memories organ Transplants maybe memories are in the cells themselves. Maybe those chemical structure . And emotions energy flows . And Memories physical objective chemicals

[@angrybeluga1697]

Thanks for the excellent content! I hope psych show comes back.

[@yogyakarakasia3859]

This channel meant so much to me, thank you.

[@GetThePun]

ah, scishow psych was an amazing channel, I will be sad to see it go. Thank you all for the great content!

[@ZeldaWolf2000]

I'm an organ donor. I'm also on the be the match bone marrow registry. Easy decisions in my opinion.

[@nicholaslogan6840]

love seeing this channel for the first time now that you're ending it, thanks algorithm. I guess I could keep up with SciShow more closely but I'm busy :/

[@ofands]

Via con dios! I love all these channels and am very sorry to see this go. R.I.P.

[@ZainHusain]

Dang, this channel was one I looked forward to a lot. Well, thank you for everything!

[@PLuMUK54]

I think that the problem is not deciding to become an organ donor, but plucking up the courage to make the arrangements. To many people thinking about their own death is something that they prefer not to do, so to actually make an effort about something associated with that is a step that they prefer not to take. Here in the UK that action has been taken from me. I know that, unless I opt out, my organs are available for transplant. Now I am not concerned about thinking about my own mortality; 17 years ago I was given 48 hours to live because I was suffering viral cardiomyopathy. Since then death is something that I have thought about a number of times, so signing up to organ donation should have been easy. However, I still felt that it was a step I could not take, tempting fate and all of that. The reason why people do not opt out is not an inability to make the decision, but unwillingness to think about it, with possibly a slight fear of looking bad if you do opt out.

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

I will miss this channel but, already follow the other channel so I will still get my nerdy fix. All the best to you all.

[@TheGFeather]

Sad to see SciShow Psych go. I'm certain it was a tough call, but sometimes those need to be made. I'm sure we'll all catch you on the main channel.

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

Hiatus= means they're thinking about it, actually with my bipolar disorder this channel has been a comfort my a way of a place of refuge from the normal stressors so remember never surrender no matter what I do tend to rant angrily

[@germainp]

The study about the demographic rates of organ donators as a function of the state making each citizen a donor by default or not makes me think of a marketing strategy employed by, among others, accommodation companies. When booking a place you are told that you will have days or even weeks during which you can change your mind and get a full refund. What invariably happens to me is that I make the reservation thinking I might cancel it later on, but I never do!

[@DianeKovacs]

I won't mind having one channel for everything. Helps me keep up. :)

[@kyle20176]

Nooo!! I love this channel. I need more scishow channels not less.

[@mooselove]

My dad died and it’s been very hard to get rid of all his things, make decisions about what to keep and what to trash. It’s just hard. I can barely feed myself and remember what I have in my own house.

[@teeshirt]

GONNA MISS YOU, @SciShow Psych! 😢

[@lesleyghostdragon3149]

Awww I am not psyched to say goodbye to SciShow Psych.

[@karthikharitha5712]

I am going to miss this channel. This was amazing.

[@SangoProductions213]

"In countries where you are automatically an organ donor, there are more organ donors." Such insight. Much wow.

[@thepeff]

It sounds great until the ambulance your in slows down

[@GKEK]

thank you sci show psych for all the great vidz. i will miss you. T.T

[@sierrawhite8088]

The people at my local DMV ask you when you get/renew your license if you want to be an organ donor, no calls required, people just don't do it for some reason 🤷

[@timelessnugget]

I've been putting off deciding to watch this video for weeks.

[@NewMessage]

Man.. I'm sad to see the channel go.. especially since I'm ghost banned on the main channel for some unknown reason. Not much of a Christmas present, this.
