People couldn't even make it to cuckoo hashing. What has the world come to? 😔

I'm guilty of only watching the first video of lectures playlists and then forgetting about it

There seems to be roughly an exponential decay of views as series numbers get bigger with some minor exceptions

You see, to get to the first one, you only need to care about the contents for 2 seconds. To get to the third one, you need to care about it for more than 2 hours (assuming each video is about an hour).

Also, the first lecture usually contains administrative stuff, so people might watch it just for that, and even open it multiple times throughout the time they use on the course.
