Yes, I've watched both of those. Mathologer is in the biz of math, Vsauce is in the biz of ka-ching.

I don't think the vsauce channel is egregiously monetized. He sometimes does not upload for months or even years, and does not make the most clickbaity videos out there. He could've easily been much bigger than veritasium, in terms of monthly views, if he wanted to by just making the same type of videos as he used to do ( the broad mishmash videos that I really really liked honestly).
The fact that he didn't, to me, indicates he is obviously not in the business of making money.

Yeah, that's a good point. But I always found Vsauce and Ve to be clickbaity, with the former targeted at a more educated audience. But that's my opinion.

Each one is like half an hour long, but you may need to pause them and rewatch them a few times to understand the details.
