How much would you spend to buy Minecraft? Java edition at most comes to $39.99 USD. Would you spend $50 for Minecraft, $100? Some break Mojang's terms of service and buy Minecraft accounts for thousands of dollars!
Why would someone do this? In this video, we make a brief overview of this online black market. Then, using linear regression, try to correlate something with account prices. Within is embedded a multivariable calculus lesson, and its application in least squares regression.

It's really three videos (Minecraft black market, maths explainer and specific analysis) jammed together. I'd suggest picking an audience for each video because not many people are going to have all these three interests. The audio isn't great in parts and the levels are burnt making it grating to listen to in parts. If you want people to get excited about your content you really need to be passionate about it and you come across as bored.

Interesting topic, quite original, unique. It is clear that you put a great amount of work into this video. I'd recommand learning how to use software like manim to enhance your visual explanations and make it more enjoyable to see for the viewer. Good work !

I really like the style! As a Minecraft fan, I was immediately drawn in to the story. Very comedic, and also real, as if we were watching a documentary take place. And the lesson about data science's pitfall of just "collecting more data" ends up being the trump card arguably more valuable than if you did prove your hypothesis right.
I'd say the only weakness is that the pacing slowed quite a lot when talking about the math.
