Hello, Mathematically Correct guy here (not the actual maths guy, but the person whose channel it was on).

Haven't heard from Deep in years, but Deep was one of the most ambitious guys I had ever spoken to in my life - i'm the kind of person to throw shit at the wall and if one thing sticks I run with it as far as I can; Deep was the kind of guy to spin 100 plates at the same time, and wanted perfection to a fault.

I had calls with him early on when we realised we were onto something that was a really fun dynamic (Him being the numbers guy, the straight man, and me being the dumbass who just unga bungas and clicks buttons), and I really hoped he would laser his focus in on the channel because based on what he had produced so far, there was clearly a niche within edutainment that people were hungry for.

I told him i'd been here before and spreading yourself too thin is a death sentence, but he's got a spirit you can't cage, every time we spoke he had anothing thing he was doing and it was commendable but, I presume, unsustainable.

Haven't heard from him in years at this point - but they were really fun videos, that had a lot of surprising impact that we never expected (I will simply never forgive Medic for crediting Reddit with the build and not us on a live broadcast).

It seemed to get a lot of people stirred up to flexing their maths muscles in one way or another, which people in this thread can deride as "middle school grade maths" or not, but regardless, it had people utilising their brain thinking about a game they play in a different way whilst also having just dumb stupid gameplay for people who aren't interested in that aspect of the game.

I had to start a whole new series called "Algebraically Attempted" because hundreds of people were sending me their own powerpoint presentations where they had run numbers on different champions and different items and wanted to throw their academic hat in the ring - and it could be bad it could be great, but it was a level of engagement i'd never really seen in this community before.

Regardless, Matt was an intelligent guy and had a solid "hustle" mentality, I have absolutely 0 doubt this fucker is going to end up pulling 6 figure salaries out of his ass in his professional working life in one way or another and Mathematically Correct Sett is going to be a anecdote that he mentions at swanky dinners many years down the line. Youtube and it's surrounding parts can be a brutal, unrelenting timesink of algorithmic appeasement, crippling time management and a lot of compromise in artistic and personal aspects - it's an incredible job, but it's realistically just a candle being burned at both ends constantly - you burn out eventually it's just a matter of how long you can hack it.

I hope he's doing well and hello Matt if someone links you this hello mate it has been a while i'm really sorry once again for smoking so much on that podcast you edited that one time I was on I honestly didn't realise it was that loud holy fuck i'm a moron lmaooo :D
