Many of you have given me feedback on what you did and didn't like about the recent "with the authors" videos. Here's the result of that feedback and an outlook into the future.

 Hi all, this is just a short channel update. Recently I've been conducting a lot of surveys of people and asked a lot of people to comment on things about the channel and I want to give you an update on how that's going. So as you might have realized, I've had the great opportunity to bring on a lot of authors firsthand on the channel to explain their papers, explain what they think and sort of the behind-the-scenes stuff of the research. And this is amazing. I would have never thought that so many people would want to, you know, come on and share things with the audience. But, you know, here we are. It was really cool for the people, I guess, to come on because they get to share their work. It was really cool for me because I got to interview the people and then after that I would make the paper review which would be shorter, more condensed because we'd already covered so much in the interview and I thought that would sort of be, you know, a good piece of content. However, it was not so good for you. A lot of you, and I've read a lot of comments, I've conducted surveys, you might have come across them on YouTube, on Twitter and so on. A lot of you missed the old style paper reviews, the longer paper reviews and you pointed out some crucial things. First of all, it is really difficult to be critical of a paper when you make the paper review after interviewing the authors because that's what I would do. I would let the authors explain the paper to me essentially so I know even more when doing the review and then after that I'd record the review. However, it'd be a real dick move if I were to bring up some sort of criticism in the paper review that I didn't bring up in the interview, right? Because, you know, what am I going to do? Interview the authors and then be like, well, but this part here, this is really crap and then the authors have no chance of responding. I mean, it's not a good way of doing things. So I was not able to be as critical as I would be when I would just approach the paper for myself. Not that I want to be critical, but it was just a different atmosphere. So I've decided going forward that I would do the paper review first in its full length in its sort of classical way and then show that to the authors and then interview the authors. This allows us to get into the criticism and into the meat of the paper much more quickly and also a little bit more of that behind-the-scenes stuff. It will make the interviews a bit shorter as well. And I think that will just be an improvement for everyone. It does represent a bit more work for myself, but you know, that's life. Yeah, it's essentially whatever I did before plus the interviews plus the most dreaded part, which is like scheduling and organizing all the people, which is really not something I'm good at, but I'm trying. So if you are something that's kind of like expecting an email from me for like four weeks, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Yeah, what's still not clear to me is whether or not to release the videos in one part or to release the review and the interview separately, maybe back to back on two different days or whether to release them apart from each other like the review as soon as I have it and then the interview later. People are kind of split between the two methods and we'll just have to experiment a bit. So going forward, there will be classic paper reviews and if there is an author coming on, the author will be able to react to the paper review. Not always, it's not always going to be possible. It does require more work on deadlines for me and I don't always have time to prepare the review before I interview, but I'm trying as best as I can. So there are about two or three videos in the backlog that still have the old format and then after that, we're going to switch to the new format and it will be glorious. I really want to thank everyone who's contributed to finding this to tell me what they think to you know, all the commenters, all the people on Discord, all the people who took part in surveys. Thank you very much. I want to do as best as I can. I want to make the best use of your time, want to make the best use of the author's time and I hope this is just going to lead to greater content. Please, as we continue to experiment with stuff, let me know what you think, continue to tell me what is best for you, continue to tell me what you didn't like and with that, I'll see you around. Ciao.
 Hi all, this is just a short channel update.
 Recently I've been conducting a lot of surveys of people
 and asked a lot of people to comment on things about the channel
 and I want to give you an update on how that's going.
 So as you might have realized, I've had the great opportunity
 to bring on a lot of authors firsthand on the channel
 to explain their papers, explain what they think
 and sort of the behind-the-scenes stuff of the research.
 And this is amazing.
 I would have never thought that so many people would want to,
 you know, come on and share things with the audience.
 But, you know, here we are.
 It was really cool for the people, I guess, to come on
 because they get to share their work.
 It was really cool for me because I got to interview the people
 and then after that I would make the paper review
 which would be shorter, more condensed
 because we'd already covered so much in the interview
 and I thought that would sort of be, you know, a good piece of content.
 However, it was not so good for you.
 A lot of you, and I've read a lot of comments,
 I've conducted surveys, you might have come across them on YouTube,
 on Twitter and so on.
 A lot of you missed the old style paper reviews,
 the longer paper reviews and you pointed out some crucial things.
 First of all, it is really difficult to be critical of a paper
 when you make the paper review after interviewing the authors
 because that's what I would do.
 I would let the authors explain the paper to me
 essentially so I know even more when doing the review
 and then after that I'd record the review.
 However, it'd be a real dick move if I were to bring up
 some sort of criticism in the paper review
 that I didn't bring up in the interview, right?
 Because, you know, what am I going to do?
 Interview the authors and then be like,
 well, but this part here, this is really crap
 and then the authors have no chance of responding.
 I mean, it's not a good way of doing things.
