Ten or so years ago, I started an educational YouTube channel on a whim, based on a course I was teaching at the time. I made a video every day for a month and then decided I didn't enjoy the process of making videos enough so I set it aside. A few months ago, it crossed 300,000 subscribers, 8.7 million views, and 670,000 hours of content watched. Working with individual students always felt more impactful, but it's truly mind-boggling to think that people have spent 670,000 hours (76 years!!) listening to me teach. I don't really know how to think about this, except to be in awe of the internet and hope that I did a good enough job with the lessons to make their life better.
