Well. That's the answer, folks. Pack it up, people. The entire purpose of this AMA has been achieved.

Hey Captain! I've been a huge fan for a while, I've watched every one of your videos, many of which more than once. There are many people who believe that your channel would be even more popular if you abandoned the Captain D character, but left literally every other aspect of your videos exactly the same. They feel like the facepaint is a little strange, that it might be a little off-putting for new viewers, and it can be harder to get people addicted to your videos. Personally, I've gotten past the initial weirdness of it and I've fully embraced the character. I would never suggest that a creator change their content to maximize views, subscribers, etc., nor should you if you don't want to. But I think these opinions might actually be accurate, even if it's something you'd never consider doing. So, my question is: What would you say to someone who thinks that abandoning the character would be better for your channel? Do you agree with that assessment? Would you ever even consider doing that?

How does it feel to be both a spicy meme and very professional science-y guy at the same time? Those don't really seem like two personalities that go hand-in-hand much.

How much do you guys oversee the editing processor GMM? Not just the graphics and animations, but I've noticed that there have been a few episodes that are 14:59, just under your 15 minute limit. This leads me to believe that some things were cut out in order to get the episode under the time limit. In cases like that, how much of an input do you guys have, or do you just trust your editor to make the right decision?
