I’m a huge nerd and pretty much write and make videos about things I find interesting. I’m curious about the world and feel like sometimes I’m interested in some ridiculous topics. With that being said, I was extremely surprised how many of you enjoyed my last post about why the Danny Gonzalez TikTok song didn’t go viral. Aside from analyzing human behavior and the psyche, I like trying to figure out why things did or didn’t happen, so I’m extremely grateful that so many of you are inquisitive as well.

With this piece, I don’t mean to milk the Danny Gonzalez TikTok song topic, but this is something that was on my mind throughout watching his video. While watching his video, I just kept thinking, “There are so many things wrong with this experiment.” I debated on discussing it in my last post, but I figured that make it way too long.

I love that Danny goes out of his comfort zone and tries new things, and I think that’s one of the reasons he’s one of the best YouTubers on the platform. It’s easy to see that Danny has a curious mind, and it’s great to see him experiment. So, I’m hoping that if Danny sees this, it will help improve his method for the next experiment. But more importantly, I hope it helps all of you think a little more critically about how we conduct experiments to get closer to the truth.
