Finally over the hump of the AP Physics 1 series. Hopefully I'll find it easier to finish off now that I'm more than halfway done.
Torque holds a special place in my heart. In high school, I made an explainer on torque for a video production course. Part of the course involved creating a style guide, which later became the basis for the current Polychoron Productions style guide. The torque video would become the spiritual predecessor of the current AP Physics series.
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.

Hello all!
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.

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.

Thank you for the support,
