I’m putting together some ideas for a chemistry YouTube channel, but I’m stuck between wanting it to be a practical channel where the focus is on experiment or a discussion-based channel where the focus is on theory. (And sorry little girl, I don’t know that I can do both.)

Looking at these channels though, I realize there is a fuck-ton of overhead in terms of cost. A flask of mercury is fucking expensive and Cody is flushing toilets with it (not into the sewer system, don’t worry), and I don’t own my dwelling. I mean, I love a lot of these channels, but I’ve only recently realized just how much of their own money they’ve had to pull together to make these things work. A lot of these people already have the equipment because it’s their profession or hobby. I’m not knocking them at all for it, but what’s this emotion I’m feeling? Oh, that’s right, it’s envy.

EDIT:
Dunno if Electroboom is mentioned, but he deserves a mention.

About half of my Youtube list is already here, these are some that aren’t.

I’m sad that there is so little diversity in this list. Leaving out Simone Giertz feels like a terrible oversight.
