Not sure if you are humble bragging, but I agree The Witcher is more demanding. Layers of meaning, emotions, allegory, subtext. It’s no Shakespeare, but physics and math are simple in comparison especially in the wonderfully produced and easily digestible format of Veritasium.

I mean, the author has a doctoral degree in science communication. It's his job and the point of the channel to try to make things easy to understand.

The opposite is true with fiction. You're intentionally trying to have the audience make connections themselves, like a Sherlock story or the Great Gatsby. The point is in the discovery by the viewer.
