Tom Scott is back on YouTube [video]

video was posted 9 days ago, in case anyone was blowing this off as an April Fools joke.

A great video following the day in a Loughborough bell foundry

It is not the same

inb4 it's AI generated and Tom sold his channel to some faceless corpo 3.. 2.. 1...

I don't think Tom would ever do that. From firsthand accounts from people I know who know Tom, that would be extremely out of character and not consistent with their moral compass.

Veritasium dude sold his channel so why not Tom?

I meant to reply days ago, but, if I were to hazard a guess:

• Tom Scott's brand is Tom Scott the Creative Vision, and Tom Scott the "It's Ready When It's Ready". Sacrificing either would drive away the audience.

• Having a presence on a creative collective platform like Nebula affords a great deal more autonomy here. Yeah, while the YouTube channel occupies a special and inimitable place, there's not a lot of recourse from their mercurial and non-transparent algorithmic changes.
