As the distribution of digital media has diversified, more opportunities have emerged for content thieves who wish to re-upload videos and claim resulting ad revenue for themselves. This infringing process, which Cgp Grey and Brady Haran dubbed “freebooting” in an episode of their Hello, Internet podcast, is particularly prevalent on Facebook, where some freebooted uploads tally tens of millions of unlicensed views.
One of the creators who has been most affected by freebooting is Destin Sandlin, the host and producer of the YouTube channel Smarter Every Day. Sandlin’s educational science videos have scored nearly 300 million views on YouTube, but they’ve also served as ripe targets for freebooters. Between news distributors, individual Reddit users who distill videos into short gifs, and unabashed pirates who aim to profit off the busiest period of Sandlin’s traffic, Smarter Every Day episodes often show on channels where they are not authorized to be.

For the second straight year, a trio of YouTube stars sat down with President Barack Obama for a candid and relatively informal interview series that covered a broad range of issues. This year’s lucky interviewers were Adande “Swoozie” Thorne, Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day, and Ingrid “MissGlamorazzi” Nilsen, and their presidential chats have drawn quite a large audience. An on-demand version of the interview has drawn more than one million views on the White House YouTube channel, and several of the topics discussed within the video have sparked conversation online.
As with YouTube’s first presidential interview, the 2016 edition varied widely in terms of the topics it touched upon. Thorne, Sandlin, and Nilsen gave President Obama a chance to restate well-tread talking points about minimum wage, gun control, and the tenor of political discourse in America, but they also brought up a few lesser-known issues. The deepest cut...

The Coriolis effect, which causes ocean currents to move in different directions across Earth’s two hemispheres, is a well-known scientific theory. What’s more regularly debated, however, is whether this effect causes toilet water to move in opposite directions in the USA and Australia. That particular factoid has been referenced several times in pop culture, but it has also been refuted, with Hank Green calling it “bunk” in a SciShow video.
Now, in an innovative new video, two members of YouTube’s scientific community have decided to test the Coriolis effect on a small scale. Destin Sandlin of Smarter Every Day and Derek Muller of Veritasium launched a collaboration in which they both perform the same experiment on opposite sides of the world before sharing their results in a fascinating pair of synchronized videos.
In his hometown of Huntsville, Alabama, Sandlin filled a large, circular tub with water. Across the world,...

Astronaut Scott Kelly is currently in the middle of a year-long stay aboard the International Space Station, which Nasa is using to research the health effects of long-term trips to space. Kelly’s journey is the subject of a Time Magazine web series called A Year In Space, but the news publication isn’t alone in its interest in his life. Recently, seven YouTube stars took to the ReelNASA channel, where they each got the chance to ask Kelly one question.
The seven participating creators--Hank Green from Vlogbrothers, Louis from FunForLouis, Emily Graslie from The Brain Scoop, Kyle Hill from Nerdist’s Because Science, Henry Reich from MinutePhysics, Destin Sandlin from Smarter Every Day, and Michael Stevens from VSauce--are all popular on YouTube, and all of them, with the exception of Cole, create science videos.
