Awww... Kurzgesagt's Course over at Brilliant is retiring soon... :(

As I was casually revisiting the website, there was a special notice under Kurzgesagt's course. Brilliant is retiring the course on August 31, 2026. It's sad, but why are they retiring it? :(((((((

Has Kurzgesagt been sold?

There is currently a debate over the recent issue of YouTube slapping an AI Slop Label on Kurzgesagt video in r/YouTube. I don't care much for the drama they make, it's mostly dumb arguments over how Shadow banning is real, or that Kurzgesagts lying since their contents deteriorating anyway etc etc etc. However, the most controversial claim i saw were the dozen people claiming Kurzgesagt has been sold to private equity like many other channels. Way too many people in that thread claiming this to just be an individual insult yet I have found no sources for this information so i am 90% sure they are spouting bullshit. However, i would rather be sure than feel slighted later on.

(FYI, The discussions in r/YouTube on this topic is not very civilized to begin with and had mostly degraded into personal insults. My goal is not to contest them but to find a source for that most controversial claim and verify it for myself. Thanks!)

Astronomers discover a new kind of cosmic object – a black hole ‘star’

These were just theories when Kurzgesagt made the video about them, and it looks like they may have been actually discovered!

Galaxy eating Black hole?

Can A supermassive black hole like Phoenix A* or TON eat a galaxy whole?

Can a supermassive black hole eat a ultra-faint dwarf galaxy like Segue 2?

How would the gravitational field and spacetime curvature be affected across the galaxy, even on a planet?
