Tom Scott will post 26 more videos before taking a break after 10 years of weekly content.
I mean, honestly his titles and thumbnails don’t stand out much, and most of the themes he explores in his videos aren’t something you’d intentionally search for, it just gets lost in the sea of youtubers talking about generic stuff while usually not saying anything at all.
I personally found him through the “This Video has (X) Views” video, (probably the most interesting title on his channel, if not in the whole Youtube), started watching to see how it was possible and at the end I was like “wtf, this guy is awesome” and started bingewatching most of his stuff.
He’s been around long enough that he doesn’t need to cater to the typical YouTube algorithm gaming that most channels do these days. But it’s a good point, I’d you do t know about him it’s be easy to miss.
Yeah he does thumbnails/titles fit for what he wants to show to his specific audience and that’s perfectly fine. I wish the algorithm didn’t actively promote clickbait and outrage so every channel could afford to do that, but unfortunately that’s not where the money is for advertisers.

That’s a good point. I couldn’t certainly understand not knowing him if you’re a more recent YouTube user. Just shows my age I guess!
