Many have asked why I post multi-hour long marathon videos with highly technical content. Why don't I post short, 20 minute simplified videos like many others trying to disseminate information in the community?
Today I realized that this is something I'm really just not interested in. This is a hobby of mine and I want it to be fun. If this becomes more of a job than it is fun, I probably won't do as good of a job. I also realized today that I don't think my intended audience is really the average community.
There may indeed be times when I want to communicate with the community at large, but for the most part the brunt of my content speaks for itself. It's hours long, and it's very technical. It's clearly not intended for laymen. I have tried to have laymen checks (IE: Isaac, Richard) to stop me if they are not following so that others can follow, but even then it's clear that my content is not presented in a way that is optimal for the average person to consume. Today I realized that I don't actually want that to change. My intended audience is going to be primarily suited for non-laymen (who don't mind my abrasive personality of course), and let's be honest - it probably always was that way to begin with.
I understand this results in having a smaller audience, and I'm okay with that. I'd rather have a smaller audience doing what I love than a larger audience doing something that feels like a job. In terms of sending messages I want to the movement, perhaps I may be able to attract those within the vegan community to engage with my content, so that they will in turn send those messages in clear and digestible ways.
That being said, here are a list of plant based experts that I recommend for simple and easy nutrition information for laymen. In my interactions with them, they have shown to be good faith actors and seek the truth over ideology. They are:

1) Gil Carvalho MD PhD: youtube.com/c/NutritionMadeSimple
2) Jack Norris RD: veganhealth.org/
3) Danielle Belardo MD: www.instagram.com/daniellebelardomd/
4) Ginny Kisch Messina RD: www.theveganrd.com/
If you are looking for plant based nutritional information that is reliable and evidence based, these 4 are the individuals I recommend for the public.
As for me, well...keep watching if you want more of the same I guess.
