I'd be super active too for that much!
From looking around various video comment sections, his apparent goal is to create a full comprehensive video on the causes of WW1 before uploading it to YouTube in one long video. You can see that all the videos uploaded to his Patreon are short (5 to 15 minutes) and cover just one thing, and considering YouTube favours longer videos to shorter ones, it make sense that he'd prefer to go all in on one giga vid than pump out a bunch of shorter ones. I don't have access to the Patreon itself so I can't help updates.
Edit: I should've scrolled down a little more.

I suspected as much. His videos are so good I'm willing to wait.
 
On a whim I rewatched some of the late Brain4breakfest's videos and it struck me how trite they seem. They aren't that bad content wise, but they all are sort of written with this Neoliberal bend that makes them quite funny in retrospect. He draws a lot from Blank Slate theory and a plethora of his arguments are based solely on statistics and geography. He never really delves into how culture, and religion effect a nation aside from broad overgeneralized claims. He notably demonizes nationalism, basically considering it an ontological evil. In his weird Yugoslavia video, he essentially claims that genocide is the natural conclusion of nationalism, which sounds like something out of The End of History.

(Also he has a weird hate boner for Yugoslavia. Like, he really does not like Yugoslavia. He talks more ill of it than he does of Nazi Germany.)

I don't think he was ever malicious or disingenuous, but I can't help but feel that he was rather naive. His most viewed video is on Germany, where he praises the strength of the modern German economy and its use of immigrant labor to prop up its welfare state. Just eight years have passed since that video was uploaded and the German economy is now flagging badly.

I wonder what sort of videos he would put out if he was still alive. Would he have stayed the course?

I remember the part of his video on soccer failing in the US had a Dane talk shit about American worker's rights. Was a curveball that didn't explain shit aside from typical European failure to understand American culture.

Brandon's transformation from talking about material history and the British army to every video being about how my great grand pappy was evil makes me sad

I got into Civil War reenacting because his reenactment based content was very interesting to me and its a hobby I love to tears and I really wish that was still what his content focused on instead of whatever this nonsense is

Guy who made my favourite video on Sulla made one on Julian the Apostate.

My favorite thing about Julian is reading his letters and the level of barely contained seethe about Christianity is great. Also the way he died and how it perfectly mirrors the death of Christ so is divinely perfect it is proof god is real.
 
Love this channel. There's something really niche but also very entertaining about some guy blabbing on about the history behind random graves and the people contained inside them. Guy does a lot of work trying to research and uncover the true story of the people as best he can from whatever new paper articles, papers, and other minute things exist in archives.


Shitty pop history video on the HRE. I don't particulalry like Jack's content, it is very hit or miss but this one is probably one of his worst.
