    Karl’s videos have advertising is for the same reason newspapers have advertisement pages, most new sites have ADs all over them, and others still charge a subscription fee - the money to make this stuff has to come from somewhere.

    As it is the last video he did on this was unsponsored, which meant he took a huge hit to his income for the video - that’s unfair to say he can’t advertise because it looks tacky when other free to access mediums do exactly the same (or rely on donations ala Wikipedia).

    Is a 13 minute video enough to cover absolutely everything in-depth?
    Absolutely not, he literally states as much in the video - but he isn’t trying to cover everything, he’s covering one specific aspect of the situation and it’s covered well.
