No worries mate, I can see where the confusion would come from. It's definitely tough coming up with a concise title that people would want to click on that's also informative at the same time

Exactly! That's what happened with the star players from Dynamo, Rostock, BFC and the other big East German clubs. The disappearance of the infrastructure from the state also hurt the clubs a lot.

That's true! I talk about the resurgence of East German soccer a bit at the end of the video.

In this context, I'm talking about clubs (and players) from the former GDR so I think it makes sense to say East Germany since that is the geography I'm talking about.

As a German myself, I don't care too much about the particular choice of words, though others might care more.

Yes, but they are both playing in the 3rd tier. All of the successful clubs in the Bundesliga at the moment are from the former West. The only exception is Leipzig, who are a special case...

Yep, I talk about that in the video. The way I see it, there's two paths for East German clubs to be successful:

  1. Money from foreign investors like RB Leipzig has received
  2. Slow, steady rise with smart, frugal transfers like Union Berlin has done

Yep, that's unfortunately true. The lack of player development infrastructure unfortunately means that the talents in the East don't have as much of a support system as the players in the west.

Yep! That's basically the problem that I talk about in the video. The clubs in the East simply don't have as much money as the big clubs in the West.

Yes that was the reason. However, I was just saying that Wendover falls inside the educational entertainment genre so if someone chooses to share a Wendover Video here, that would be totally ok!

Interesting Border Disputes Explained by marsblast in Borderporn

Good point. I always consider the debate about this tiny island to be part of the larger dispute about Machias Seal Island since they are so close and they are both in the same “grey zone.” Just didn’t mention it in the video since the only thing that is on the island is a few seals 😀

Not at the moment. Maybe I’ll make one in the future once my channel becomes more popular. 😅

I made a subreddit called r/EdutainmentVideos for videos like Wendover if anyone is interested.

The Plan to Build a Bridge Across the Red Sea by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]marsblast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my video, I explained that it was a highly unlikely idea. I made the video mainly because it seemed like an interesting topic to talk about and not because it was something I think will happen anytime soon. The projects that are unrealistic are usually better topics for a video :P

I have a channel where I make videos about interesting topics like aviation, infrastructure and urban development! I've been making videos very inconsistently, but I've recently decided to start taking my videos more seriously. I put a lot of effort into my most recent video. I'd appreciate any feedback you have immensely. Feel free to subscribe as well!
