@SovietWombleمنذ 3 سنوات Watching Mark's videos makes me ponder the nature of historical documentaries and how Youtube as a format changes the game. For this sort of thing, id="hidden2" class="buttons"> kept concise and tightly edited (as Mark does terrifically) doesn't NEED to be an hour long timeslot, as would be the case on a traditional television. You can do brief one-and-done chapters on specific points of interest. Basically, a good example of small and nimble media outshining well-funded but ponderous old media. Even if both services become on-demand. Furthermore, it makes me wonder if lots of other documentaries can be done the exact same way. ....وسعت 2641

@Tijgertمنذ 3 سنوات The thing that I appreciate and value so much is that Mr.Felton doesn’t lower himself to popular and political expressions and exclamations in his video’s. They’re all clearly made with a non biased view, unlike anything you see on tv where I am certain some director or producer is insisting on a good vs evil POV with as much Nazi this and Nazi that thrown in as possible. You sir, are better than any history book or documentary I have ever seen and far more professional and in-depth. You are a gem to history and its buffs. ....وسعت 405
