When he stopped presenting them live, and switched to animation with voice over. The change was likely made to be able to pump them out faster, and there was a definite drop in quality that came along with the change.

The animations seem appropriate for teaching the content and actually seem like more effort than just talking into a camera.

But I agree there has been a drop in quality with the growth of his team.

The animations replaced practical demonstrations. They did allow the channel to explore more topics, things that couldn't be done practically, but I think overall it was a net-loss.

That’s likely due to the fact that Veritasium has PE investment now.

Is there anything PE can't make worse ?
