he might be good at not dying in his projects, but the concept of making cotton candy is just too novel for him to be fair, if I was given a cotton candy maker I’d probably look at least as confused as he was, then promptly die in a horrible lab accident that I have no business getting into

[@unploog]

Hey, things that spin are terrifying.

[@zariaworld2104]

Im not a scintest but ive tried my hand at making cotton candy from other types of comercialized candies. One thing I think caused the diffrence in density and burnt taste is the size of the sugar. Large peices of sugar can cause for an uneven melting process. Which can cause peices of the sugar to burn and become dense. I would suggest blending the sugar into small granulated peices. This might make a more balanced heating process; eliminating the burnt taste and fluffier cotton candy.

I like how Niles Red/Blue never really changed his approach from his mid 2010s original intention of being an education channel. Sure he makes some fun "just cause" experiments, but he still speaks in a serious way and doesn't speak like the typical clickbaiting KZbinr. Definitely still feels like a chemist who originally decided to make an educational channel.

While it is fantastic that you're trying to be more independent with your monetization, I think it's also OK for you to continue getting sponsorships. This is due to your "long-form" content relative to the typical ~10minute KZbinrs out there. These youtubers would spend 2-4 minutes talking about a product they may or may not use/like, then proceed to give us 6-8 minutes of content including the intro and outro. So because of your channel's long-form videos, it is very appropriate for you to have it sponsored by a company or 2, given that it wouldn't eat up a bunch of meaningful video length.

[@lindsey2542]

^^ absolutely also a lot of those youtubers are able to keep up with youtubes algorithm a bit better because they upload at least a few times a week up to a few times a day. i absolutely would not care at all if he took on a few sponsorships every video.

[@bowtiesarecool2220]

Sponsorships are a business decision, and If the alternative is to forfeit content that may be out of a budget or to affect other aspects of your life, 5 minutes of a video is fine

[@EdwardMcClung]

Of course alchemy is just chemistry, in today's world people look down on that word, but in the year 1500, there was no difference, alchemists were just chemists, and some of their goals may have been infeasible or impossible, but others were not, same as it is today I'm sure, it was simply two famous notions that were misguided at the time, that other metals might be simply turned into gold and that there may be some quick life hack to curing aging, but chemists are wrong about things today too, we don't as a result define them as being something other than chemists.
