I am always blown away by the quality, depth and love that you all put into your videos. Thank you so much for this peek behind the curtain and for the opportunity to support you directly! Thank you for the well researched videos, the facts, the cute birds and every step of the process that we don’t see or realize. You’re making science more accessible and from the bottom of my heart, thank you once again.

Quick Question, how many birds have you got on the set?

I have been a Kurzgesagt viewer since the beginning, and always appreciated your videos to supplement my teaching and improving as a human being. This video is worth signing up for the $100 a month in membership in gratitude for the time I've saved trying to figure out the details to my own project. Thank you.

You guys are incredible <3

Am I wrong, or did that bird slide down a bass, but that sounded like a guitar?

I'm a little confused about the patron-only content. I have several emails about "patron-only" videos, but they all appear on your YouTube channel. Are the ones linked from the emails longer or something (like director's cuts)?

There are silly things I pledge to from time to time. When budget gets tight, I have to shrink my pledges, but there are a few that I do not even touch because they're important, Kurzgesagt is that few. Keep on the good work.

I loved this glimpse into your creative process. Thanks for making the video!

Science Mom

As a video creator, I find that 1,200 number incredibly validating. Thank you for helping people realize that quality content takes time to produce!

It would be interesting to hear how much this video increases your Patreon donations or merch income! I found it very easy to justify increasing my monthly pledge after watching :)

John Cosgrove

Just Patreon’d because of this video :-)

Cameron James

This video made me become a Patreon subscriber. I had no idea you relied so strongly on the support of your fans - I always assumed this was government funded, or something. This is an incredibly channel and I'm totally happy to help support it financially. Thanks, Cam

I have become a Patreon subscriber in the same way like Cameron did, I had no idea that I could support you in such way until now.. I wish you all the best !!!

I'm just starting to use illustrator and you guys are a strong inspiration. Im an art major bio minor and when people say art and science are so different i show them your videos (most have already seen them) but then they get that lightbulb.
