10 Years of Philosophy Tube

Hello lovely Patrons!

Philosophy Tube is a decade old today. 10 years ago I uploaded the first ever episode. What an incredible road we've travelled since then!

I won't belabour the point: there'll be plenty of time for stories and probably crying on the celebration livestream, which I'm hoping will be this weekend. But I just wanted to say thank you

Especially to you Patrons. I mean, literally, the show would not happen without you. My life has been forever altered by making it, and I wanted you to know the impact you've had on me, and how grateful I am.

I'm honoured to do this job, and I hope I will do it to the best of my ability for as long as I can. Truly, it's an honour.

With all my love,

Abi XXx

Happy birthday

I signed up to patreon because your Identity video resonated with my story - it helped me understand. I had zero interest in philosophy before I found your YouTube channel. The fact that I've probably watched over 80% of your videos now is testimony to your abilities. While I'd be sad to see the end of Philosophy Tube, I hope that your acting career success far eclipses you success with Philosophy Tube.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your work with us! Your videos have and continue to mean a lot to me, and in fact have contributed to my relationship. When I started dating my now fiancé, he showed me some of your work (I knew nothing of video essays at the time) and then, as an early-dating ritual, we started watching every new video, sharing our reactions and ideas about the points you raised. Not only did it make us stronger as a couple, but to be quite honestnit also helped me vet quite early on if he shared my values on a much deeper level. So while I wouldn't necessarily say everyone should watch philosophy essays as a relationship test, I will say that I'm very glad I did. Thank you for a decade of incredible, thought-provoking work, and here's to many more!

I’ve been following your work for so so long—I’m almost 26, and I remember kicking my feet around in my dorm at age 18 binge-watching your bookshelf videos and getting into philosophy as a subject because of you. Seeing your growth in that time has been incredible to me. Your work has contributed so much to the way I think about the world, and I really cannot articulate how grateful I am for Philosophy Tube because of it!

Congrats! So glad I stumbled across your work ^_^

You are a total BADASS! This year I set some firm boundaries with my YouTube use to be more intentional about the content I watch. Your essays continue to be high-quality, thought-provoking, and optimistic in a vast ocean of rage bait and mind-numbing “content.” Here’s to ten more years of growth and success for your career! 👏🏻

*curtseys* many more to come!

"For she's a jolly good lady / for she's a jolly good lady / for she's a jolly good lady / which nobody can deny!" Happy Anniversary 💖. I have a couple of favorite moments, but one of my absolute faves is, as best as I can describe it, your "brother" doing an impersonation of Ms. LaBonz from Bob's Burgers during the Amy Coney Barrett video. Something to the effect of, "Sorry sweetheart, you're in the wrong hospital. You want the other one across town," said in the voice of a Jersey Girl with a three packs a day habit. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I think of that voice and smile.

Congratulations! I'm here because i believe in your work, and i appreciate it. I will support you in that for as long as i have that option, and i will count every opportunity a blessing

Congratulations!!!! I only found your channel this past year, but I have binge watched every video you have uploaded, and witnessing retroactively how you've grown into yourself, your art style, etc. has been amazing to watch. Thank you for all the effort you put into this; YOU are the reason this is such a great community to be in. Here's to all the wonderful things to come!

Calls for a toast imo. you're in depth look at and corresponding analysis helps me better grasp philosophical concepts. I appreciate your channel since waaaaasy back in the day when you did a colab with legal eagle and ate haggis. #jealous to 10 more years of you working in such a way as you choose. also loved your video on transhumanism.

Congratulations, Abi! I've only in the last year started watching your content and engaging in philosophy in general, and I'm continuously impressed and enraptured by the work you do. To another ten, if it's in the cards!

Happy philosoversary!!! Congrats! :)
