As someone who knows very well what binary is, the explanation of 2^0, 2^1, 2^2 is still a genius way to look at it for me. Like when it's explained I think "oh well duh of course", but sometimes it never sinks in to my putty brain. You said "counting in all number systems works like this", and that's also crazy to think about. I think there's something to be said about re-explaining the basics, like sharpening a knife that you know you use often. For me, it will always be good to go over basic things again because I will pick up on different interpretations. But for the sake of wide appeal and retention, it is hard to justify explaining a concept that people "already know." I don't have any recommendations because it's a hard decision either way (thank god it's not my decision to make), but I just thought I'd share my 2 cents.

I think these are great points. It's tough, though, right, because the people who would support on Patreon likely *are* the people who would rather the video contain more explanations. So, this might not be the best group to poll, since we probably all agree hahaha Also, great pattern!!!

I understand what you mean about wanting to trim the fat of the video to get to the meat of what you're discussing, but I think that covering basics can be beneficial. My reasons are, A. If someone doesn't know what counting is, or if they could use a reminder on the topic (normally me), it is beneficial for the rest of the video, and B. The way that you explain things is both easily digestable (digestive?) and has helped me to see more simple concepts in different ways, making the complex concepts easier to understand. All of your content has been great fun to watch, hope to see more soon. PS my favorite Spinda pattern is 72000000
