I feel like this video might be really divisive. Some will love it, some may hate it.
I'm not too sure what I feel about it yet. I certainly don't love it because that's the thing that I'd know immediately. Most probably it falls into "meh, quite ok" category for me.
I can sort of see where the opinions that it was rushed may stem from; the structure felt choppy and illogical at parts, like he didn't think it through properly so the story arc (lol) of the video ended up being a little bit all over the place for me. And I didn't laugh or even smile at some of the things that were supposed to make me smile, eg Sherlock references or him cramming all the paper into his giant mouth.
BUT, and it's a giant but, there were some parts that did make me smile. For example, I replayed the periodic table song about 10 times. I love singing Dan apparently
Also, I enjoyed his self-depreciating remarks. Especially the "am i really gonna make this joke" comment about drop the base scene because to me it felt quite genuine. The speech at the end (watch me or I'll starve) was also nice in the sense that this was his way, slightly too little too late but still, of acknowledging the irony in him giving the advice. So that's good. However, he msised the mark of why exactly it is ironic, at least to me.
To break it down. My reasoning: he has nothing to do with school and exams at this stage of his life, he is a 25 college dropout who is now totally loaded and makes this video to stay reletable and helpful to his younger audience. His reasoning (or rather the one that that he's willing to reveal): I have only youtube to fall back on because I sucked at education haha, please love and help me, I'm a fail. No. Youtube isn't even remotely the only thing he has going on right now. He's a full on businessman and I'm not sure him trying to hide that sits right with me. So basically
eevee I feel you on that, you're not the only one
Wow, that became a tangent. So, just to repeat, the video as a whole was quite nice
