Yes, it is still worth the watch! You always go out of your way to explain things differently, animate it beautifully, and provide a mini history lesson. You don't find that in many other places!

The importance of something doesn’t correlate strongly with how popular it is. Sometimes you make important videos that are less popular. Your urge to keep doing it is probably a character trait that shines through all of your videos and that viewers appreciate. I know I do.

I think it’s fine as long as the subject is covered in a significantly different way. With more math videos coming out, I imagine it’s increasingly difficult to find new material.

There is no other channel like Mathologer, the little tidbits and asides are often things I've never heard before. The perspectives are unique! I enjoy what you dig up for us! Brilliant 👌

I’m a maths professor and I love your videos. I often find myself drawing on them for my classes, but always love seeing new/adjusted/updated versions! Keep them up! :)

You are one of my favorite channels in YouTube. I find it particularly interesting that using high school math without resorting to integrals and differential equations, mostly graphical proofs and a bit of algebra, you are able to cover so much and in such depth. I still can’t believe it!

As others say, your teaching style does add a nice charm/extra visual information. For the Gabriel's Horn in particular, I have never seen a non-calculus look that gets the same answers intuitively, which is a big bonus. Also, the 8 rotating into an infinity sign is certainly a strong enough justification for a new look, in my opinion.

I appreciate every video you publish. They are unique in many ways, as most comments report. So, don’t give up, and don’t be afraid of explaining your way any topic, whether it has already been covered or not!

I really loved your latest video on Gabriel's trumpet. Your way of presenting is great and your passion is contagious.

I appreciate it! I don’t even remember the other videos, but remember watching your version of Gabriel’s Horn, etc. Thank you for the remakes!

We love your lectures, @Mathologer. I can’t tell you how to make money or be popular via YouTube, but you are above YouTube. You can republish your content in many places, and there are always new people wanting to learn and discover math. Insights about how results are arrived at - with the clarity you add - are far more important to sensible people than diamonds and gold. Those other things are for people who need to convince themselves they have the worth that you already have.

I think it's equal (if not more) worth the effort to provide a correction / fix / alternative perspective. Putting a rigorous and correct explanation out there tremendously helps the people who want to go deep. Might not attract a big audience, but gold for the people who resonate with your way

I don't recall seeing much about this horn paradox on other YouTube channels, though I have read about it. There are only a few YouTube math channels that I watch regularly, so I guess that's how I missed it. But I always enjoy Mathologer videos, whether it's a topic that I'm familiar with or not. Even when you cover a topic that I've seen covered elsewhere, your videos always help me to understand the topic better than I did before.

Different teaching styles suit different people! If you think you can explain something different or better then you're adding value!

This channel was one of the first I discovered covering math topics, and as such, it actually introduced me to the topics you mentioned. With that in mind, it was indeed helpful. Don't make assumptions about it only being existing math nerds that watch the channel. For myself, you're answering questions I didn't even know to ask and broadening my horizons. In short, if it's interesting to you, I'm interested in learning about it. Thanks for a great channel!

Absolutely worth it! I've seen each of the videos you've mentioned and enjoyed them all. I don't know (or don't recall) how much "new" info was shared in them, but I haven't seen the so-called originals of all of them so they were at least new to me. And for the ones that were a rehash of something I've seen, I liked getting a different point of view or approach.

Absolutly, even when I know a topic I always watch your videos, because every time there is at least one "WOW" moment! ❤️

You are a mathematician, a German with lots of humor … that is the rarest of combinations … all your videos are awesome. Thanks for them. I love them.

I should know by now that once a nice topic has been covered on YouTube, no matter how meh, it's not a good idea to cover the same topic again to fix things. Because if you do, don't expect many people to watch your masterpiece :( In fact, I do know and yet I just made the same mistake again: A video on Gabriel's horn (done to death ... badly). Before that it was Conway's soldiers. Before that it was mathematical table turning, etc. Anyway, since you are reading this, I am assuming that you are one of the Mathologer regulars. And, as a regular, and if you are familiar with one of those Mathologer remakes, did it make enough of a difference to be worth the effort, at least as far as you were concerned? Should I keep giving in to the urge to fix things on YouTube?
