I am missing motivation. Why should I care about any particular pi formula? And the explanations are obviously way too complicated and/or abridged for anyone not already deep in the topic.

3.1

The Visuals (Specifically the talking head) I found to complicated and distracting (especially at the start, with the scrolling screen). The topic was very interesting, but I didn’t feel enlightened or like I gained understanding. It felt like rather than spending time on actually explaining the maths, more of the was spent on making the maths look scary and complicated rather than simplifying the mathematics and giving intuition or helping the view to learn.

6.1

You have an engaging tone. Not a fan of the anime character but that’s just me. The music is a bit distracting. I kindof lost interest at the halfway mark.

The material was interesting but the presentation was way over-the-top. The excessive affected fake excitement did not appeal to me. I also did not come away from the video with any sort of understanding about what was really going on mathematically.
