For the last month or so, I haven't been very active on the channel (or the discord). I made this choice as I am currently starting my first year of university and wanted to settle into a solid routine before spending more time on the channel. For the most part, this has happened, so I'll be back at it soon! I already have a few videos in the works, including a collab (👀), so stay tuned. My output should be about the same as last year, i.e. a video every month or two lol.
I'll also take this opportunity to tell you guys that I have a discord server. discord.gg/pZPeXckkHr There's about 20 members at the moment, so feel free to join and introduce yourself.
I made a video for the Summer of Math Exposition contest hosted by 3blue1brown. If you're interested in math, please watch the video and subscribe to the channel; if this video receives enough positive response, I will consider continuing to make math videos.
On a related note, I've created a new channel, Polychoron STEM, to be the home of my STEM-based content, starting with this video. As such, if I decided to make a non-music theory related video (likely about math, cs, or physics), it will be posted here. If that sounds interesting to you, please consider subscribing to the channel.
As I mentioned in my cellular automata video, I intended to make a series of videos about the techniques that computers use to make music (or more specifically, procedurally generated music). However, the reception to the last video was quite a bit positive less than others, and as of now, I have actually lost subscribers on the video. As such, I'm planning to take a break from the series and publish videos about "regular" (less computer-y) topics for awhile. That seems to make more sense in terms of growing the channel and creating a niche. I plan to come back to that series someday though, I still find the subject super interesting.
This decision will not impact the schedule: next video is coming out on Tuesday.
Because of my intention to keep making videos about music theory, I'm considering moving all of the non-music theory related content (AP Physics Videos, how computers store numbers, etc) to a separate channel, likely named "Polychoron STEM" or something. Should I:
It was always my intention to do a Q and A video once I reached 1000 subscribers. However, because of YouTube's weeklong lag for community post privileges, I missed that opportunity. Having hit 2500 subscribers today, I thought that this would be a good opportunity to publish this Q and A post. Hopefully this is a big enough milestone to avoid seeing too much of the 1 subscriber Q and A meme.
If you have any questions you would like answered in the Q and A, channel-related or otherwise, don't hesitate to ask! I will answer all the reasonable questions.
In other news, my channel just hit 4k watch hours, so I can apply to monetize my videos. So that's nice :)
When I first created my channel, my intention wasn't to stick to a certain subject or area, but to make videos about topics I found interesting; I was my own target audience. However, given that my channel has grown in a certain music theory-ish direction, I'd like to recalibrate my goals a bit. I'll still make videos about other subjects occasionally, but by and large, what kind of videos do you want to see?

Hey, I think I owe you guys an update.

Hope I'm not spamming too much,

Finally, I can make community posts!
When I first created my channel, my intention wasn't to stick to a certain subject or area, but to make videos about topics I found interesting; I was my own target audience. However, given that my channel has grown in a certain music theory-ish direction, I'd like to recalibrate my goals a bit. I'll still make videos about other subjects occasionally, but by and large, what kind of videos do you want to see?
Thank you for the support,
