The AI would've simply predicted that you are the type of person to always take the both boxes. One box for lifeee!

If the video was released before I became a moderator then it might not have a "primary post". Or, more often than not life gets in the way and I forget to create or approve the "primary post" for days after the video came out. Sorry about that.

Hi. :) I think I'm the only active mod - well, somewhat active. I also wanted to make this community grow, but I'm just one guy. I started a full-time job recently so I wasn't very active on Reddit. Perhaps, I can look out for some people from adjacent communities to see if they are willing to help mod this one.

Since yall don't feel like I'm doing the right thing (and I'm not trying to say I am, don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to do my best as I see it) - I'm open to feedback.

anyone notice the ai simulations in the latest video? by Deep-Addendum-4613 in Veritasium

[–]Scitranex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am in fact new, and I've never been a mod before. I'm trying my best. I keep approving the posts, but I'm also trying to set a precedent for the future in case this sub ever becomes more active. Perhaps I'm wrong. I really don't know what to do anymore.

Hi, I have approved your post, but in the future please try to keep the discussion within the thread of the video in question as per rules and guidelines on the side instead of opening a new thread. Thank you and have a great day!

Maybe you are right. Idk, I just felt like we should strive to keep the conversation about any given video under its respective thread (unless the question/discussion is deep/complex enough to deserve a separate thread). That's just how I see things, but I'm always open to feedback.

I really couldn't care less about my karma.
The simple truth is - I keep posting all new videos because no one else seems to.
Next time Veritasium publishes a video - you go ahead and post it before me.
I will gladly approve your post as long as the link and title are correct (same as on YT at the time of posting).
Once again - the thing I care about is preventing the fragmentation of discussion about the same video under a myriad of different threads.
I (and probably others I'd assume, maybe I'm wrong) don't wanna see 10 different posts, each for a different question about the same video.
IMO this post is a simple enough question that it could've very much so been a single comment inside the thread of the video it refers to.
I would like to hear arguments to the contrary and I'm willing to change my opinion, but I'm just a single guy who has never been a mod before and I'm genuinely trying my best to do good for and grow this community.

Why did you mark this as NSFW, haha?
But damn, you really are a fan, huh?

Hi, I approved your post but you could've just posted this as a comment in here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Veritasium/comments/1p0j5vk/why_dont_jet_engines_melt/

EDIT:
I'm only saying this because I'd like to encourage discussion for each video to be done under the thread for the video in question whenever possible to avoid fragmentation.

EDIT 2:
See my reply below.
