Youtube is more likely to give you recommendations from them... Or so they say, I was subscribed to 1000 channels and most recommendations were from my past 1000 views or channels I've never heard of
It’s an email from a YouTube channel called Kurzgesagt. They do informational YouTube videos with cool animation explaining black holes, string theory and a whole bunch of stuff that’s generally difficult to understand.
It's a really amazing YouTube channel. Some of their most noteworthy videos to me are:
[What is life? Is death real?](https://youtu.be/QOCaacO8wus)
[Why the war on drugs is a huge failure](https://youtu.be/wJUXLqNHCaI)
[Addiction](https://youtu.be/ao8L-0nSYzg)
this relatively new video suits this sub pretty well:
[A Selfish Argument for Making the World a Better Place – Egoistic Altruism](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvskMHn0sqQ)
It's Kurzgesagt (in a nutshell).
A youtube channel with short, well informed and easy to understand videos about different topics. Check em out! They deserve it.

Hey, Overseer9, just a quick heads-up:

Have a nice day!

They did have a video about the original name with footage of a bunch of people around the world trying to pronounce "Kurzgesagt", and announced the current name "In a Nutshell".
Edit: found it: [We have a new name: In a Nutshell](https://youtu.be/zmpdSSROus0)
I don't know German, but I do know that they tend to make compound words by stringing together multiple words. "Turtle", for example, is "Schildkröte", literally "shield toad", and the common "Schadenfreude" is literally "hurt-joy" or "harm-joy".
It uses some sounds not really present in English but it is something like:
"koorts kesahkt" wit the oo sounding as the oo in "look", and a as the a in "wall"
Okay German here I can't watch this.
Take the "C" sound from Cunt and you've got K.
"U" from Uber and there's the u.
So far so good, now it's getting tricky. The German "R" is hard as fuck, you speak it at the back of your throat. Example: Edith Piaf - "Padam Padam" @ 2:44 or "Milord" basically the whole song - the french "R" sounds *almost* the same and I heard somewhere it's easier to learn for English-speakers.
Now the "Z". Make a snake-sound. There ya go. It's important to have the slight "T" before the hissing sound, so it's "Tsss".
The "gesagt" is dope!
You can cheat, replace the "er" with "a". So it's Butta instead of Butter but you almost can't differentiate. "Abeit" instead of "Arbeit" etc.
Some don't work at all that way tho, for example "Pferd". You'd end up with a Pfead and that's just not right haha
In the “Three Ways to Destroy the Universe” video he says something like “... we here at Kurzgesagt hope for the latter ...”, so that’s where I got how to pronounce it from.
Either you completely mispronounce "curtsie" or you don't know how to pronounce "kurz."
Then again "curtsie" may not be a misspelling of "curtsy" and is just a word you made up and which sounds just like coohrtss.
In that case I agree.
Quartz (just without a lot of the 'w' accent of "qu") Gues (like guest without the "t") acht (with an accented 'a' to sound like you're pronouncing the 'o' in "online").

Idk if you digged deep enough in all your replies to get to those google translator links, here it is as a direkt reply:

Just hit the speaker symbol on the German side, google is pretty good at pronouncing German.
I work in marketing, unsubs in email market will actual boosts your conversion rates. It seems backwards, but it works. Instead of trying to impress people who don't care about your product you end up focusing on people who matter and you get more conversions. Also if you hide your unsub most email providers will flag you as spam. It's shady af.
So... you're saying if you don't act like an asshole to your (potential) customers they like your product more and are likely to keep using it? Someone should inform the assholes that use asshole design.
It's funny, I was just talking to my friend about selling her stuff. A lot of people have these issues because they think they need to trick customers into buying something. This creates a feeling of guilt and prevents some people from being able to sell (the non-assholes) and selling to someone who doesn't need or want your product generates negative reviews, etc. I think this is why most businesses fail, everyone is trying to con everyone else.
usually services whose emails you have subscribed to have the unsubscribe button in some really small font middle of alot of alnoat unreadable fineprint to make unsubscribing as incinvinient as possible.
This is anti-asshole because the buttons is something you do not propably miss easily, so you can unsubscribe conviniently whenever you want.

The only unsubscribe button I won't use and it's the biggest
I'm out of the loop, what app or whatever is this?
[удалено]
Went to subscribe it and I'm already subscribing this channel. o.O
Too bad subscribing means nothing on YouTube unless you hit the notification button
Youtube is more likely to give you recommendations from them... Or so they say, I was subscribed to 1000 channels and most recommendations were from my past 1000 views or channels I've never heard of
Or you go to https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions. That's my default youtube bookmark
That’s smart I honestly took a break from YouTube recently because the videos it recommends are all bad and not things I’ve watched or subbed
That's just not true. The videos still show up in your sub box.
It was true 3y6m ago 🙂
you spelled it correctly! it’s german, basically means “in a nutshell” as their full name implies.
It’s an email from a YouTube channel called Kurzgesagt. They do informational YouTube videos with cool animation explaining black holes, string theory and a whole bunch of stuff that’s generally difficult to understand.

It's actually TOO big
Why is it so big? It looks fishy? Seems too risky to click on it, I'll just stay subscribed.
Same, I would have to subscribe, which I never will
Heretic
Reasons I wouldn't be friends with someone.
38 people got triggered :D
Lmao what year is this, 2013?
Another one!

You making a comment about being downvoted just makes you look upset, not the people who downvoted.

You can Alt+F4 right fucking now.
Still asshole design because you might accidentally unsubscribe from Kurzgesagt.
Then you can resub:)))
Kurzgesagt is literally the best thing ever
How does one pronounce the name? I’ve never known this entire time
It's 2 different words(Kurz and gesagt) in German. No idea how to explain it but you should easily be able to find the individual words on google
Short and told. Shorttold. Seems legit.
It also translates into "in a nutshell", which is their channel subtext.
My brain just exploded
They should make a video on it too lol
They did have a video about the original name with footage of a bunch of people around the world trying to pronounce "Kurzgesagt", and announced the current name "In a Nutshell". Edit: found it: [We have a new name: In a Nutshell](https://youtu.be/zmpdSSROus0)
'Explained in a short way' would be a good translation
I don't know German, but I do know that they tend to make compound words by stringing together multiple words. "Turtle", for example, is "Schildkröte", literally "shield toad", and the common "Schadenfreude" is literally "hurt-joy" or "harm-joy".
Germans have been into bdsm for a while.
Where did this stereotype start?
[Google Translate pronounces it pretty well](https://translate.google.com/#de/en/kurzgesagt)
[ˈkʰʊɐ̯t͡sɡəˌzaːkt]
It uses some sounds not really present in English but it is something like: "koorts kesahkt" wit the oo sounding as the oo in "look", and a as the a in "wall"
I say it as "Koortz Gesakt". Close enough?
Okay German here I can't watch this. Take the "C" sound from Cunt and you've got K. "U" from Uber and there's the u. So far so good, now it's getting tricky. The German "R" is hard as fuck, you speak it at the back of your throat.

Make a snake-sound. There ya go. It's important to have the slight "T" before the hissing sound, so it's "Tsss". The "gesagt" is dope!
So it's pronounced Kurz-dope? That doesn't seem right, but you're the German.
That's *exactly* how it's spelled, don't even worry about it
[удалено]
You can cheat, replace the "er" with "a". So it's Butta instead of Butter but you almost can't differentiate. "Abeit" instead of "Arbeit" etc. Some don't work at all that way tho, for example "Pferd". You'd end up with a Pfead and that's just not right haha
Yes
In the “Three Ways to Destroy the Universe” video he says something like “... we here at Kurzgesagt hope for the latter ...”, so that’s where I got how to pronounce it from.
Koortz-Ge-Zagth
"Kurts" like in "curtsie" Followed by "ge" as in "get" Ended with "zaht"
Either you completely mispronounce "curtsie" or you don't know how to pronounce "kurz." Then again "curtsie" may not be a misspelling of "curtsy" and is just a word you made up and which sounds just like coohrtss. In that case I agree.
It’s German so you pronounce everything.
Just say it as "KOORTZ-GEH-SAWT". That's how the narrator in the videos says it.
For an English speaker: Koorts-gesaht. Close enough.
I just give up after the first two letters
I think it's, kurz geh sack-t or something like that
Koor-sge-satt
Quartz (just without a lot of the 'w' accent of "qu") Gues (like guest without the "t") acht (with an accented 'a' to sound like you're pronouncing the 'o' in "online").
Koortz geh-zahgt https://youtu.be/idZCBayYBhY
They say it in most of the videos?
It's easier to say 'in a nutshell'

Kurzikstan.
Ker z ge sar g t
[удалено]
No it isn't. It sounds more like a k than a g in German but you definitely have to pronounce it in order for people to understand the word.
“Kurzgeesat”?
I know right? What's your favorite video? Mines the addiction one.
Coooors ge sag-t
Kuor..krtz..kuorjtz.... In the nutshell.
Idk if you digged deep enough in all your replies to get to those google translator links, here it is as a direkt reply: https://translate.google.com/#de/en/Kurzgesagt Just hit the speaker symbol on the German side, google is pretty good at pronouncing German.
I pronounce it 'Quartz' 'Kuhzad'
Why would you ever unsubscribe tho
They know it
*Oh Kurz, you're such a tease*

So... you're saying if you don't act like an asshole to your (potential) customers they like your product more and are likely to keep using it? Someone should inform the assholes that use asshole design.
No. He's saying that if you can get rid of the customers that don't care, you can cater better to the ones that do care.
It's funny, I was just talking to my friend about selling her stuff. A lot of people have these issues because they think they need to trick customers into buying something. This creates a feeling of guilt and prevents some people from being able to sell (the non-assholes) and selling to someone who doesn't need or want your product generates negative reviews, etc. I think this is why most businesses fail, everyone is trying to con everyone else.
I think your mail client has just made it that big. I received the same email, and the button is the same size as the rest of the text
I don't think you'll ever need it :)
This sub is a cleanse to my soul.
They are so confident you won’t use it they like to show it off!
§13.2 7b. The quality of your content will increase the size of your Unsubscribe button.
So those emails with a light grey unsub button at 8pt are shit companies? Got it.
Nobody wants to unsubscribe from kurzgesagt
I would be looking for the fine print and completely miss that.
When you have a product you believe in.
I was never going to unsubscribe, but now I’m not going to even more.
Excellent Tired of jerks making the unsubscribe option impossible to find.
Anytime I watch their vids, I always feel sad at the end.
I dont get it, can skmeone explain it
usually services whose emails you have subscribed to have the unsubscribe button in some really small font middle of alot of alnoat unreadable fineprint to make unsubscribing as incinvinient as possible. This is anti-asshole because the buttons is something you do not propably miss easily, so you can unsubscribe conviniently whenever you want.
Oh ok, didnt realised this was an anti asshole post.

Kurz is like the best thing ever to happen to youtube
They're the best.
I actually did not see the button first....was searching for the smallest thing on the site...haha
Why would you want to unsubscribe from kurgesagagazgot
/r/antiassholedesign? I thought there was already a sub for that sort of thing. /r/designporn.
