A lot of people don't know TodayIFoundOut started as a website all the way back in 2009. The website is still around and we publish the article version of every video you see here, plus occasionally more you don't! There are over 5,000 articles on the website, for instance, but only a bit over 2,000 videos here. So if you'd like the reading version of things, go check out our site!  https://www.todayifoundout.com/

So we ran a poll a while ago exactly like this with animals. And I'm interested to see the contrasting results for humans. And in particular, as obviously this is not legal in most countries, I'm interested to see if people's votes line up with the law or not here, or if it's something where the prevailing opinion has changed since those laws were made. -Daven 

I support voluntary human euthanasia if the person is elderly

It turns out most of what people say about Edison and Tesla on the internet is quite incorrect. So we made a 2.5 hour video on it all. :-) One of the more interesting we've done. A lot of surprising things in it, and a great long form listen while cleaning up Christmas mess. :-) Hope you enjoy. It was an insane amount of research and work. :-)

So at the end of some videos like our How to Get the Best Sleep Possible one (  https://youtu.be/va3LEn_UMPo?si=aIizh...  ) we've started occasionally doing little bloopers as just like a sort of something extra for watching all the way through. :-) Which I don't know. Do you enjoy that? But second question- What do you think about also/alternatively a couple Q&A type answers at the end of videos? Just you ask anything from When did Simon go bald to what's the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Whatever. :-) Just short little things of interest. 

 This is both for algorithmic reasons (fun fact: Watch % / time is KING of all metrics in whether a video will do well or not, far more than click rate or likes or comments or anything else, and the difference is not subtle at all even at slight changes), but also to add something interesting or entertaining for everyone who makes it to the end. :-) So what do you think? Good idea? Other? If you like the idea, any questions? Baste us like a Christmas Turkey with your thoughts. :-) 

I like the end video bloopers best

I like end video random Q&A best

I like and want a mix of both of these

I don't like either of these
