Sciencemadness Discussion Board - What happened to NileRed, NurdRage, Chemplayer and Doug?

NileRed hasn't left... But it seems like he's really taken down his experiments a gear or two. I mean his transparent wood one was neat. But his latest several are just basically old videos he's already done but slightly different (eg: his bromine one, or his grape soda from gloves, he's done both before), or he does silly stuff like dehydrating magnesium sulfate or "does cyanide really smell". I don't consider the last two very interesting (or even chemistry...), but I suppose they're low hanging fruit and he gets a lot of $ for them from patreon (which I am on his patreon.. so I guess I kinda paid for them, lol).

I did too, but I’m considering withdrawing my support. That’s not very cool, but upgrading all his lab furniture and accessories like he did to merely capture how a beaker of water explode when you throw molten copper in it, or how make a bismuth knife… Not really the kind of video I’m after…

Fortunately they were smart enough to also upload all their videos on the Internet archive site for safekeeping. That’s where I usually stream them from.

Glad I'm not the only one whos noticed...

I forgot about the molten metal into water video.. That one was pretty lame as well. Personally, I would think all the non-chemistry ones would go on NileBlue, and the actual chemistry related videos would be on NileRed, the channel that focuses on... you know... chemistry.

Honestly, I just get the feeling he thinks "Hey, I get paid from my patreons for _any_ video... lets start uploading some simple shit... Or just re-making previous videos I've already done and try to pass them off as new stuff" lol.

On his plastic gloves to grape soda video, he says multiple times "Ive never actually done this before, so I wasn't sure if it would work"... Dude, he has separate videos of every part of that synth on his channel (the anthranilic acid one got taken down, but still). So saying he hasn't done any part of that step is silly. It was identical, just on a slightly larger scale.

P.S. I do have to say though, I appreciate his cleanup videos. It seems like he sometimes gets some flack for those (or so I hear) because they're "boring", but I sometimes replicate his videos, and knowing how to responsibly clean up any toxic/poisonous side products help when im researching how to clean up afterwords. Plus, when other amateurs replicate his videos, they're less likely to just flush them down the toilet if they know how to do the cleanup.

I’m not sure what kind of better lab he can set up, really. Unless he has found that the luxury estate he’s been renting was too expensive, after all.

On the other hand, you can’t expect him to live off his YT chemistry videos forever. Especially also if he has to support whoever is working with him (his brother?).

[Edited on 14-8-2021 by Keras]

One where he can continue with the physics experiments: throwing things around the lab and breaking them.

Nile red is in it as a scienctainment show. I stopped watching him 2 years ago.

Doug was great, I always wonder what happened to him.

Nurd is looking for a job last time I checked.

Anyway, youtube is not the place for interesting chemistry anymore. You have to decide wether you want YT money or share and grow your chem skills with other chemists. Just develop elsewhere, it is just a matter of habit, and patience.

Bitchute is acceptable and open minded.

Bmoore55 - 17-8-2021 at 16:04

I think everyone is being a bit tough on NileRed, he is currently moving and expanding his lab so that makes it very difficult to put out “new” material. I think he is putting out repeats using the YT shorts to try and keep some income going while he finishes his now lab space. Chemplayer is trapped away from his normal lab due to covid, but I’m sure will be making a comeback once some of the restrictions of removed. In the mean time we still have the silly behavior and quality science supplied by explosions and fire to keep us entertained. He just has to finish that dang thesis…

Chemplayer not making videos has nothing to do with COVID, they have not made videos since 2017 maybe early 2018 with one of them making the odd video the last while. In 2018 they were banned from YouTube and started a new channel on BitChute and reuploaded their shit.

this is a quote directly from their BitChute About page.

Quote:

In May 2015, two amateur-chemists decided to start filming their hobby and a journey of learning and discovery. Based at their secret island base location, they pieced together a 'lab' fitting into a small cupboard in a spare kitchen, and filmed over 150 experiments in a "series 1" spanning inorganic, organic and every-day household chemistry.

In mid-2017 the pair sadly departed company to different corners of the world, with one intrepid experimenter determined to keep on the work with occasional videos. They vowed to come together again one day to do "series 2".

Their popular but controversial YouTube channel "ChemPlayer" was banned in April 2018 for crimes against narration and for the gratuitous manufacture of chocolate cake, but has since moved here to BitChute for your continued enjoyment.

The journey continues!

and this is their BitChute channel.

I'm not sure why he needs an upgraded lab. The premises he worked in during his last videos were already more than luxurious (unless he had a spat with his neighbours). I have cancelled my support, but if he resumes releasing quality videos, I'm more than willing to back him again.

[Edited on 14-8-2021 by Bedlasky]

There is a way though. I have the same shit happening but I use youtubensfw.com . So basically when you're on an age restricted video, you just add "nsfw" to the url, click enter and it will redirect you to that site. After you click the link below the video should play. The problem is that sometimes the video won't play no matter what you do and the devs don't seem to be able to do anything either.

On a side note, some time ago I made a new account to see if yt will let me watch normally(some people don't have the block, so I thought that yt is doing some beta testing like one group gets the "feature" and the other doesn't), but I had the block anyway, though after some time It just... let me watch the videos without verification

>>What happened to NileRed, NurdRage, Chemplayer and Doug?

Nurdrage has always taken long breaks. Like Doug and Chemplayer, he's probably getting busy with life, work, family, etc.

Regarding NileRed's "new lab", like others have said, he already has the best possible lab you could want for chemistry. If he is moving, it is either because his landlord did not renew the lease, or because he wants to do more general science / less chemistry and needs a different kind of space for what he has planned.

Syn the Sizer - 18-8-2021 at 10:19

I think everyone is being a bit tough on NileRed, he is currently moving and expanding his lab so that makes it very difficult to put out “new” material.

To be honest I have only heard this through word of mouth. Several people say he is working on his new lab but I have never been shown evidence of it. Not saying it isn't true as I have not really followed NileRed for some time now but if anybody actually has evidence of why he needed to upgrade is already amazing lab would be nice.

The only thing I could possibly see as why is maybe zoning issues and he was forced to move. Or as MidLifeChemist said, maybe lease renewal issue or new scene.

Evidence? Here ya go

I almost signed up to be a patreon, but it said he gets almost $7,500 per creation... Which is awesome, but I would think he could stop worrying about getting demonetized on YT at that point and go back to some of his own stuff... You know, chemistry. lol.

But like stated above - he's just a scienctainment channel now. Seems like a cool dude (seen him on William Osmans channel, Explosions&Fire, and a few others), but there's just no doubt that his channel seems to get more boring with the more money he makes, lol.

P.S. I hope this doesn't come off as me being jealous of his awesome old lab, and whatever his new one will be. He's done a lot of work, and has earned the support he gets from his patreons. I honestly think its amazing that he was able to get as far as he is. It just sucks that the "new" NileRed is more basic physics demonstrations, recycling old videos, or throwing glassware around. Very little chemistry. It does go to show that it's not the lab that made his channel great, it was the content. Some of his best videos were filmed in his garage.

Triflic Acid - 19-8-2021 at 06:00

I agree that some of his best videos were when he was working in his garage. I mean, I guess we are all biased, given that we all work exclusively in our garages, but back then his audience was mostly chemists. Now, he has to give content that the majority of people will want to watch, in order to get money.

They certainly are. Google is smart enough to link both sides.

Also, I never got any age check either.

As for NileRed, I regret his pandering to a less demanding public. I suppose he could shoot mainstream ‘low-quality’ videos while still maintaining a stream of high-end chemistry videos.

karolus28 - 20-8-2021 at 06:13

Honestly, the "shorts" stuff is well.. not the best thing he made, but he's at the "top" of youtube, milliions of subscribers. If you're a big youtuber, yt has requirements for you, they want you to post regularly, if you don't do that, they might as as well cut you off and limit your views. So they want you to post a lot of shorts and make them money. Also these small videos he makes go aaalll the way to tiktok, so he's gathering a new(I assume giant) audience full of "normies" as the redditors call it.

But this goes back to the patreon stuff, if he really earns over $7k/video, then you would think the requirements of YT would be less important and the quality of the chemistry would be what he concentrates on. Just my opinion.

Doug is alive and well, just busy.

valeg96 - 21-9-2021 at 01:45

Keras and SuperOxide: if you ever made a purchase on the web linked to that email, google knows your identity and that's why you don't have to prove your age. That's unfortunate because this restriction makes all alt accounts useless, if you have to submit an ID or payment info.

Also, glad to see people sharing my distaste in videos where NileRed throws stuff around to make fun videos or smashes stuff. I remember talking with some fellow chemists about this back when he started getting very mainstream and being accused of being envious. I just don't like people throwing stuff around for fun, and for years I seemed the odd one out.

Also, glad to hear Doug is fine. His videos were some of the best around!

I've watched all of ChemPlayer's material several times and I hope they come back and make more at some point, but after such a long time I'm kinda losing hope.

The golden rule number one: never mix in politics, unless you run a politics channel, podcast or whatever that is based on ranting about stuff.

You really don't have to rant about how the big bad gov has banned x and y, instead just do a video how to make them. You can send a message and your viewers will agree with you without ever saying it out loud.

i once knew an egyptian coptic ordthodox christian, a researcher with a PhD in medicine and pharmacology studying the influence of Fluoroquinolone antibiotics on pancreatic cells, really a bright guy. once over lunch talk somehow the topic of evolution came up and it turns out he's a creationist as well. i asked him about how human fetuses at various stages of development somehow look like reptiles/aquatic animals etc. and if it wasn't at least a clue towards proving the concept of evolution right, and he outright denied that fetuses even do that and any photographic evidence of that is absolutely fake.

Ah man, idk about that. I mean I'm no genius or anything, but he seems very smart to me, and I learn a lot watching his videos.
Regarding his politics, even though I agree with most (not all) of his political views, it's a little tiring to hear politics come from every direction, then get them even from there. I suppose from his perspective he has a platform and political views he feels are important enough to put on a chemistry channel, but from my standpoint as a viewer, I wish he would at least keep the politics to a minimum.
But... he can do with it as he wants :-) Im sure he knows how people feel about it.

Ubya - 19-11-2021 at 04:45

About NileRed, it is just a behaviour i noticed in many channels.
They start small, gather a nice niche, doing specific out of the ordinary stuff. Their quality increases and they start to get more subscribers/donators.
The pool of people interested in that kind of stuff is pretty limited though, so to expand and get more views/subs/patreons they start making videos on "normie" subjects. The pool of normies is a few orders of magnitude greater than us, so it isn't profitable anymore to work a few weeks to make a single video that would be watched by maybe 300k people, once they honed their style they can get millions of views out of a single video that took them a few days to make.

My best example is The King Of Random. I subscribed on his 5th video probably, he had cool projects and shoot them in a professional way. With the growing of views and subs each video got dumber and dumber, and in the end i just ignored every video he/they poster. I unsubscribed the channel the year before his death, and now the channel isn't any better.

Nurdrage oscillated between "normie stuff" and cool projects, i think his idea was to get enough money from the simple and hopefully viral videos to fund his more scientific and interesting ones.

I can see why one would feel down seeing the video they worked on for weeks getting 50k views, while the video they shot for shits and giggles got 3mil views.
If you have passion and a job, you can do whatever you want, if youtube is your job, you need to produce something that earns you money.

Big youtubers simply can't do it for passion anymore

Before anyone says that patreon gets you out of the youtube ads policy, giving you more freedom to do whatever you want, eh yes and no, people are greedy, 10k a month for shooting simple stuff is still better than 10k a month while busting your ass off

I also can't recommend his channel enough.. He has some amazing videos. He has one where he built a mass spectrometer from an old popular science magazine article, definitely my favorite.

Hes probably one of the best science related YT channels, I just didn't include him in this list because he only has a few chemistry related videos.

That's for sure. I was on his patreon for a bit, and I did see he had more videos there, and I forgot how much he makes per a video, but it's something like $7k. I think his silly little "NileRed Shorts" are maybe to get more people attracted to his channel, then his old videos get them to sign up to patreon, maybe? Just speculation.

Yesterday I saw a ball mill video on YT on milling aluminum, it was 15min of which 10 min was on safety that burning powdered aluminum is so bright it can blind you. What the hell...? Is this bullshit really required, who wants this? who cares?

Im not sure I entirely agree. I don't think there's anything wrong with promoting safe practices. But the video you described seems to have gone overboard. I think the simple safety intros you see on Chemplayer, NurdRage, etc are perfectly adequate.

And while I did say I think that NileReds channel has taken a dive with the more traffic he gets, I really think his videos where he posts the cleanups are pretty useful/important. Not everyone that watches the YT videos is going to look up how to clean up responsibly or store your waste safely. So I don't mind those at all. I think he puts them on his NileBlue channel, which makes sense to me (that channel seems to be less chemistry, more of the day to day kinda stuff).

Syn the Sizer - 4-2-2022 at 23:01

Personally I like NileGreen lol, though the creator of this channel is pretty good and actually does his own stuff in the videos unlike Nile Pink who just hacks NileRed videos into a choppy not so funny short.

You are annoyed with it even though you don’t take issue with most of his viewpoints. Imagine how it must feel to someone who disagrees with most of it. Really renders it unwatchable. He seems smart when it comes to chemistry, sure. But he really throws his credibility out the window when he spends half the video whining about how “liberals are ruining science” instead of focusing on… science. Is he losing potential viewers/subscribers because of his approach? That’s hard to say. On the one hand, there are people like me who are put off by his pointless injection of politics into what would otherwise be good videos. On the other hand, I’m sure there are others who relish hearing his tirades that victimize the poor home chemist who is constantly suffering under the boot of tyranny (even as he freely posts videos of his experiments performed from his well-stocked home lab), and maybe they would get bored and move along if he wasn’t feeding into their emotions like that. Either way, I’m sure he’ll never change, cause he seems to enjoy “owning the libs” at least as much as he enjoys chemistry.

Syn the Sizer - 5-2-2022 at 15:36

One thing I have to say about PMCs well stocked lab, is that was mostly bought with or are donations.

I used to run his Discord server before I stepped away and basically left Discord period. I was becoming a troll like all the rest on Discord, but I digress.

He himself is not funding much out of his own pocket, that is from his faithful viewers.

I do understand how one can find the politics hard to get past, specially when you do not agree with it. Not that I agree with everything he says either.

I've watched his channel a few times. Just to clarify, PMC tirades against YouTube cracking down on channels (including chemists like ChemPlayer), not the boot of tyranny against labs in the USA (there isn't any afaik, we can mostly do want we want here in the USA).

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with his views in this reply, simply clarifying what his "boot of tyranny" tirades are usually about.

I know the guy very well, I ran his server for a reason, he doesn't pick people lightly to do that. He definitely is not pro-government, but he is far from anti-government. He is pro freedom, but understands that government and law is absolutely needed.

He is a strong Republican supporter but far from a bigot. Honestly when people take the time to actually get to know him he is a real "Sweet Heart" as many would put it.

But I am not trying to get political by mentioning the government as politics is against the forum rules. We had to ban politics from his server too because it was turning into a full on war in the politics channel and damn does that get exhausting to moderate.

One thought, maybe he can do 2 videos, the full video and the reprise which is just the chemistry sans the politics.

Edit:

BTW, I know lots of Canadians up here who are/were Trump supporters.

I'm disappointed Nile Red didn't make anything himself in his most recent nileblue video

I always thought his NileBlue videos were the more candid kinda videos, or cleanup videos (which I actually liked). But both of them are now just PBS level high school chem now

Yes, it would have been cool if he did it as a multistep synthesis ovr a few videos I least make a couple of the precursors to the the juice.

PMC has good content but the politics is hard to get past.
Particularly the covid crud, which is anti-science.

Im in the PMC discord server, and he announced today that he deleted his YT channel and will not be doing chem videos any more. Apparently it's not fun any more because.... politics. lol.

Yes, ChemicalForce is amazing! I think ChemicalForce and Thyzoid are some of the best up-and-comers on YouTube.

I agree. Thyzoid has been doing some quality stuff lately and at quite a remarkable rate. Really enjoying it.
Does anyone know if he is a member here?

Edit:
Seems he is, but not active and has not visited for a while.
Thyzoid

I have seen a lot of Thyzoid's videos lately. He is incredibly prolific and I really like his work. I wish I could be as active as him with my account.
