Hi! I'm Drew. I run the Species Youtube channel - making high-effort documentaries on AI risk.
My current goal is to publish one video every week this year, but historically I've only been able to put out a video every two weeks :)
Currently, we average 1m+ views per video! So it's helpful accountability if there's a market tied to how many videos we publish.
Resolution criteria:
Resolves to: The number of public videos on the Species YouTube main channel with a publish date in 2026, as displayed on the channel page on January 1, 2027.
What counts:
Videos 5 minutes or longer in duration
Compilations or re-edits of past content count as new videos if published as a distinct new upload (e.g. a 3 hour long compilation with every AI takeover scenario we've done)
What does NOT count:
Shorts (under 5 minutes)
Videos on other channels, including collaborations where Drew appears elsewhere
Unlisted or private videos
Videos completed in 2026 but published in 2027
Verification: Public YT channel page on January 1, 2027.
