Hear the sound of Coronaviruss spread to 89 countries (March 2020) Abacaba 2020-03-09 | It's me, Cary! My goal with this video is to depict the spread of COVID-19 more viscerally. With sound, it’s easier to discern what a number like 3,000+ deaths actually means. It’s not just a four-digit number—it’s 3,000 families affected, 3,000 stories ended too soon, 3,000 universes vanished.BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO: youtube.com/watch?v=zxjYetyRi9oEDIT: The percentage listed underneath the red death count for each of the top five countries represents what percentage of the worlds active cases come specifically from that country. Sorry I didn’t make that clear... it was last minute addition I added just hours ago. :(Data sources:The last doc got trashed by vandals so I’m gonna make a new one when I’m back homeEDIT: It's here!

COVID-19 2021Jun24 update. Final COVID19 video, I’ve retired! (Data-viz source code now open-source) Abacaba 2021-06-26 | COVID-19 is still ravaging many countries like Brazil, Russia, and Colombia, even though it has subsided in countries with high vaccination rates like the US. I'm ending this series because1) I've got a lot of other projects on my plate, including working towards my Masters' Degree2) These videos aren't monetized, which wasn't a problem at first, because I made them inform the public about the state of the pandemic! But after 15 of these videos each taking 2-7 days to work on, it's getting harder to justify pausing other work to do these instead.3) I don't think I'm the most qualified person to make statements about the state of the pandemic. National governments are probably better equipped to inform the general public than me. Also, I want to hand the mic to better experts on COVID-19, listed below!Our World in Data: ourworldindata.org/coronavirusWorldometers.info: worldometers.infoThe GitHub repo with the source code to my COVID-19 visualizations: github.com/carykh/AbacabaCOVID19As Som Jio pointed out, information about India's COVID-19 cases/deaths may be entirely incorrect, due to vastly different levels in testing. Kerala may have just appeared to have the highest concentration of COVID-19 cases because they tested the most, but they actually had an oxygen surplus and many fewer deaths than other states.Processing 3, the software I used to create all these visualizations: processing.orgDataset, data sources, and spreadsheets for various COVID-19 visualizations I've made: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zn_pqFBv9W9Hrfe-0LcfSYdywZHe4cOig4xQZ5mVaBQ/edit?usp=sharingPneumonia and Influenza Mortality Surveillance from the National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System: gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.htmlThe playlist of all Abacaba COVID-19 videos: youtube.com/watch?v=6dDD2tHWWnU&list=PLsRQr3mpFF3IUX2jvzWa2xsoCatOU-RJZ
Super Mario Bros speedrun history [Animated Bar Graph] [REUPLOAD] Abacaba 2021-04-28 | I finally made an SMB1 video, which is one of the most highly-requested game-visualizations from you guys!Yeah, this video is a reupload from the version 12 hours ago. Venom 64 noticed that my ranking labels were often off-by-one when ties got involved (such as Kosmic and darbian at 4:26), and since the video only had 1,800 views at the time, I decided it was worth it to fix it and reupload! I also fixed a few other minor bugs, like the horizontal axis marks at 1:40 showing everything from 455 to 500, a more concise sentence at 0:11, and a small bug to prevent streaks from being counted longer than they really were by a couple days.Let me know what you guys think, or if you find any other bugs/mistakes :)Niftski's video: youtube.com/watch?v=i3NRe3KulqUKarl Jobst's video: youtube.com/watch?v=-G8x-KiBLfwStorster's video: youtube.com/watch?v=RCwijR-96F4Stanley Chapel's channel: youtube.com/channel/UCR2URbUb8pFkZ11TU36sVbQI included a chart for Warpless SMB1 and SMB1's the Lost Levels just in case people were curious, but upon further reflection, it feels like there is TOO much data on the screen now, lol.

However, writing "killing off a significant portion of Americans" isn't quite as concise. Still, in the interest of not spreading misinformation, I probably shouldn't have written "half".MUSIC: "Still Learning" by Dave Miles from Zapsplatzapsplat.com/music/still-learning-marimba-arpeggio-drives-this-serious-high-brow-music-bed-with-4-4-drums-and-a-light-techno-feel-piano-melodyNov 6 video (2D scatter plot of cases-vs-deaths): youtube.com/watch?v=eeiguFaRil0Mar 18 video (traditional line graph of all 21st century epidemics and more):youtube.com/watch?v=n4no04822NQFeb 10 video (Bubble graph of various causes of death per day):youtube.com/watch?v=6dDD2tHWWnUGoogle spreadsheet with sources to everything: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zn_pqFBv9W9Hrfe-0LcfSYdywZHe4cOig4xQZ5mVaBQ/edit?usp=sharing

COVID-19 bubbles for every country (Nov 6, 2020 update) Abacaba 2020-11-07 | I haven't made a commentated COVID-19 update video in about 4 months, so I figured it's time for a new one! Europe is entering a second wave of new cases, the US is on its third wave of cases, and other countries like China, South Korea, and New Zealand are just chilling in the lower-left corner. Keep wearing masks and social distancing and washing hands! It costs you nearly nothing but can save lives!EDIT: As ulrich brodowsky and others have pointed out, one major cause for Europe's second wave having more cases (therefore a lower fatality rate) than the first (discussed at 7:33), is that countries are able to do much more testing now than before! In the first wave, many mild cases probably went undetected, since COVID-19 was so new. But now, after 8 months to prepare, a higher percentage of infected people are found. Which is a step in the right direction![00:00] Intro[00:26] Explanation 1: how to read graph, typical trajectory[01:41] Explanation 2: fatality, logarithmic scale, world wide spread[03:25] Explanation 3: comparing with past diseases, late death reporting[05:15] Observation 1: seasonal trends[06:11] Observation 2: considering population sizes[07:10] Observation 3: europe's second wave[08:20] Observation 4: US peak numbers[09:00] Shift to quick animation + extra thoughts[09:23] Thought 1: fatality of Influenza, fake data[10:42] Thought 2: pros and cons of logarithmic scale[12:06] Thought 3: "one in a million"[13:58] Conclusion[14:18] Covid-19 LoaderCovidLoader: covidloader.comGapMinder (the inspiration for this video!): gapminder.org"Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes - The Joy of Stats - BBC Four": youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojoData source: worldometers.info/coronavirusMusic: "Afterlife" by TheFatRatyoutube.com/watch?v=9KlponQf5Bk
Undertale speedrun history [ANIMATED BAR GRAPH] Abacaba 2020-10-25 | Toby Fox released Undertale just about five years ago. Since then, speedrunners have been whittling down their fastest speedrun times of the game from slightly above an hour, to slightly below an hour! Also, I used Megalovania as the background music because I think it's the most well-known Undertale song.Request by OceanBagel! Also, shoutout to fixylol: twitch.tv/fixylolHe's been watching my videos since 2016, I believe, since he was involved in the project called "The World of TWOW", which is based off my YouTube game show called "Ten Words of Wisdom", which started in late 2015.Music: Undertale - Megalovania (Oscar Santos Remix)youtube.com/watch?v=KiaSHg6BsXgListen on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/oscarsantosmusic/megalovaniaData source: speedrun.com/undertale#Neutral
History of Minecraft speedrun world records over time (RSG) Abacaba 2020-10-20 | Minecraft speedrunners have really been breaking through time barriers like crazy in 2020. realbenex, Illumina and Dream have all had at least 3 world records, and Korbanoes currently holds two world records in different categories. Compared to five years ago, when the leaderboards were mostly Japanese, today we are seeing tons of new faces every month.OOPS I accidentally used "3th" instead of "3rd". Whatever, the English language is flexible hahaAlso, I'm not sure what was going on with my microphone at the end of the video... my voice sounds really muffled there.

The history of online slang (according to Urban Dictionary) (1999-2020) Abacaba 2020-07-31 | Behind the scenes video: youtube.com/watch?v=1wSVUA1-pvMNOTE: If you ever see a hyphen right before a phrase, near the end of a definition (such as -Abacaba), that means that's the name of the author who wrote the definition! (Not part of the definition itself.)Also, the definitions in part 1 (1999-2012) were simply the highest-voted defiinitions on Urban Dictionary for that word in that month. So, they are often joke definitions.But the definitions in part 2 (2012-2020) were selected by me from a variety of sources, so I made sure to include the part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) and also not include joke definitions (because it's supposed to be "educational", I suppose). That's why they look more formal.In retrospect, I think the part 1 definitions are better at showing us what the internet was like in the early days. Maybe someday, I'll use raw, user-submitted definitions for the post-2012 era as well.Data sources:(Part 1) 1999-2016 dataset posted to Reddit by u/aqswde123456: reddit.com/r/datasets/comments/63spoc/19gb_of_urban_dictionary_definitions_1999_may_2016(The top comment to that Reddit thread was "Why the fuck would anyone want this", so... this video is a good reason for why someone might want it!)(Part 2, Jul 2012 - Jul 2020) Activity graphs from this website: urbandictionary.comTom Scott's video about "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells": youtube.com/watch?v=V5u9JSnAAU4im still uploading the BTS videoMusic:"Last Summer" by Ikson: youtube.com/watch?v=3GyQlZpUimQ"Hush" by Yoylecake Michael: youtube.com/watch?v=XCeNSQJserE"Showtime" by Reaktor Productionsfrom PremiumBeat.compremiumbeat.com/royalty-free-music?q=showtime"Summer Shade" by Per Kiilstofte machinimasound.com/?s=summer+shadeLicensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy [Andrew James Remix] [REUPLOAD]youtube.com/watch?v=yHAM0MYR5Uo"Streetlight" by Yoylecake MichaelTalking With You by Artificial.Music soundcloud.com/artificial-musicCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0Music provided by Audio Library youtu.be/NAgcAg0pW6w"Abacaba Outro Theme" by Yoylecake Michael

For example, tag X may have gotten 12,000 posts in January 2014, and then 11,000 posts in February 2014. Then, the data is smoothed to create a nice animation. Since the counts are monthly, and not cumulative, that's why scores can go down over time!

LineGraph-TimeLapse of Diamondcup67 and Meester Tweesters YouTube Channels! Abacaba 2020-05-28 | ANNOUNCEMENT: The "line graph of your YouTube stats" project has come to a close. It was a fun project while I was making it, but it is pretty time-consuming and not that popular on YouTube, so if I'm busy with schoolwork and other stuff I might not have time to work on it!ALSO: In the video, I had mentioned that people interested in such videos should "DM me on Twitter". However, with the number of people DM-ing me, it's getting a little hard for me to keep track of everyone! So, I'm thinking a Google form would work much better, so here is a link to the form https://forms.gle/gGRtJWsxTpPh3N158That way, I can see all you guys' channels in one listing, in one spot! Also, people who don't have a Twitter account, but do have a YouTube account, can still sign up. When we're ready, I'll also contact you through the email you provide in form. Overall, this is just a much more organized approach. :DThanks to Diamondcup67 and Meester Tweester for collaborating on this experimental video!To ArcaPlays and EliGabRet: I am looking forward to making your videos in the future, but me and Dunkel Blau have to figure out how to fix the bug that isn't allowing us to download all your videos' data.

Coronavirus vs. Atomic Bomb - Fatality comparison (April 9 update) Abacaba 2020-04-10 | Stay home, everyone! Stop the spread of COVID-19. Would you rather live out in public for a month and no more, or inside for a few months and THEN out in public for many decades?

USA about to overtake Italy in active COVID-19 cases (Read description) Abacaba 2020-03-27 | These are active cases of COVID-19 from each country.FAQQ: Why is it showing 295K cases, when there are more than 450K?A: These counts only include *currently infected* patients, so the roughly 100,000 people who have recovered are not included here.Q: Why is the data purposefully 24 hours out of date?A: The blurb below explains it!***Here's what the (now illegible) blurb says***COVID-19 livestream with interpolated statsThe livestream is PURPOSEFULLY 24 hours delayed. Here's why.Reports of new cases/deaths/recoveries comes in sporadically. Sometimes they arrive once a day, sometimes once every few hours. However, if a report of 4,000 new cases arrives at midnight, we know 4,000 people didn't get diagnosed instantaneously. They likely got diagnosed over the span of the previous 24 hours. If we want to capture the RATE of diagnosis, it would be helpful to see a more gradual stream. In other words, we'd like to "connect the dots", as seen by the green diagram to the upper-right.However, we can't interpolate between a past point we have seen, and a future point we have NOT seen. That's shown in the lower-left diagram. (We can't connect to the dot to the right of the blue line, whose position is still unknown!)We can ONLY interpolate between two points we know. So, if we keep the livestream's clock 24 hours behind real time, we will ALWAYS have points to interpolate between, as shown on the right!

Whos STILL infected with COVID-19? (Read description) Abacaba 2020-03-22 | This was a livestream that was public during the evening of March 21, 2020 PST! Why did it go down? Well, here's my blurb from a community post:The COVID-19 livestream went down after about 10 hours, because as I was sleeping, the program ran into a fatal bug that crashed the program. Currently, I'm inexperienced with livestreams (I had to use my phone's data for internet lol), but I do know how to make plain YouTube videos consistently. Given that, I think I'm going to stop the stream for the foreseeable future and focus on plain videos. That way I can get data to you guys more reliably! I hope you can understand. FAQQ: Why is it showing 181K cases, when there are more than 300K?A: These counts only include *currently infected* patients, so the roughly 100,000 people who have recovered are not included here.Q: Why is the data purposefully 24 hours out of date?A: The blurb below explains it!***Here's what the (now illegible) blurb says***COVID-19 livestream with interpolated statsThe livestream is PURPOSEFULLY 24 hours delayed.

(OUTDATED, READ DESCRIPTION) How does Coronavirus compare to Ebola, SARS, etc? Abacaba 2020-02-12 | UPDATE VIDEO HERE (March 19, 2020): youtube.com/watch?v=n4no04822NQIMPORTANT EDIT: When I made this video, there had only been only one death outside China, and the rate of new cases was slowing down. Now (March 11th) there are 4,500 deaths (3K in China), and the rates are speeding up.That's why in this video, I had tried to convey that the epidemic was nothing to panic over. However, given that this is now a pandemic, I would STILL say not to panic, but I would no longer claim "COVID-19 kills less people than the generic flu so it's no big deal" (as I had in this video). The current trends suggest COVID-19 is still growing exponentially, so it's important to take actions (don't go to large gatherings, etc. You know them all already.) that can slow the spread of the disease. We gotta make sure health care services don't get overwhelmed, especially now that this is a big concern for at least a dozen countries. - CaryThis is a Cary production!If you’d like to use this video in your own projects, contact me through Twitter DMs at @realCarykh!

Ranking Channel ranks other Ranking Channels Abacaba 2020-01-01 | **** Explanation blurb at 0:44 ****I only included channels I could find using YouTube search / recommendations. I probably missed a lot, sorry! :(To categorize YouTube channels as "animated data-viz channels", here were my criteria:1) Most of the channel's traffic must come from data-viz videos. If it's under 50%, it doesn't qualify.2) The data visualizations must be animated across a time period. (So, you see the dataset evolve over the course of days/months/years.) This means channels like Reigarw Comparisons are cool, but they're not the type of channel I'm comparing in this ranking video! So, that is why Reigarw Comparisons/MetalBallStudios are not in this video.3) If a channel switched genres, they were added to this category on the upload date of their first data-viz video.4) The focus must be less on human-written commentary, and more on the data visualization itself.*******************************It's a bar graph video, ABOUT bar graph videos! If I forgot to include any other bar graph channels, let me know. I'm human and I make mistakes too!This is my first video of the new decade. Wow! Also, I think it's so cool how many data visualization channels have popped up on YouTube lately... each person can put their own unique twist on animated graphs and it's awesome!**** Corrections ****I forgot to include these channels:India in Pixels (youtube.com/channel/UC3vpdI7klzLSLNgqZEESZ4g): 69.800 subsla Vida en un Gráfico (youtube.com/channel/UCK8RNCST65pry9i3sht9wEQ) : 67,300 subsSorry to you two for leaving you out! If I ever make an updated version of this video, I will include you.At 4:22, I claimed that 크기로 보는 TOP was the 2nd Korean channel to earn a Silver Play Button. However, if you consider TheRankings to be a Korean channel as well, they're actually the 3rd! Given this, from April 22, 2019 to September 27, 2019, 75% of the top 4 data-viz channels were Korean. That's pretty cool!Also, any time I state "I uploaded [BLANK] video" in the commentary, I mean that I'm uploading to the Abacaba channel, unless otherwise mentioned!**** Music ****Vector TD Theme Music (DJ Revan mix) (Original by David Scott)youtube.com/watch?v=tQIuV1mlq_MI used to play this game all the time back in elementary school!**** Data sources ****Social Blade(For example: socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCkWbqlDAyJh2n8DN5X6NZyg)Wayback Machine - Internet ArchiveTo find all bar graph YT Channels, I simply watched the ones I knew and tried to scour the "recommended videos" list to find new YouTubers in the genre.

The history of the most viewed YouTube videos, converted into sound (2019 re-upload) Abacaba 2019-04-03 | Original upload date: Aug 20, 2017. Behind-the-scenes video (6 hours of me coding): youtube.com/watch?v=kRK8E6gF_DIAs it says in the intro:A few months ago, this entire channel was demonetized for "reusing content". All the videos on this channel are original data visualizations created with code I've written myself, so I wasn't sure what the cause of this was at first. After some investigation, I realized the problem might be my "YouTube choir" video. In this video, I played 5-sec chunks of popular music videos to demonstrate how I could pitch-bend them to the frequency at which they got views. I believe this is fair use, but I don't want to contest it and risk more punishment.Now, I would like to get this channel re-monetized. I don't care about the money, but I do know YouTube suppresses the spread of demonetized videos since they can't make money off of them. I do care about that, because if I make a video with a message about measles, I'd like as many people to see it as possible.So, I'm reuploading this video with the problematic sections removed. It was the most popular video on this channel, so it's unfortunate that the views, comments, etc. all start at zero again. However, it's much better to kill one video to save the channel. So here is the reupload!**** OLD DESCRIPTION ****Why did I choose the videos that I did? Well, the original plan was to include only videos that have reached #1 at some point in time, which is mostly music videos. Including other music videos that haven't gotten to #1 (like Hello, Sorry, Uptown Funk, etc.) isn't such a good idea. Since they constantly get views, we'd quickly get clouded with dozens of voices singing at once, which'll turn into a muffled mess. That's why flash-in-the-pan viral videos are so great - they add interesting events to the video, but don't cloud up the audio space for more than a few seconds! My other criterion was a little subjective: it had to get enough views to reach a comfortable pitch (about 2M views a day), but it also had to be considered part of "YouTube culture", like the ALS ice bucket challenge certainly was. So I didn't include Adele's carpool karaoke since that seems more like traditional TV.There is very little data from before mid-2009, so that's why I didn't go back that far.To get the majority of the data, I used inspect element to find the coordinates of the vertices of the "daily views" graph underneath each video, and converted those coordinates into views.For the videos whose stats were private, I could usually look up the SocialBlade stats of the channel that uploaded the video. If the main video accounted for over 75% of the views, I could somewhat safely just assume that that fraction stayed about constant over time. So I just multiplied the channel's total upload views by that fraction, and voila.socialblade.comFor videos that were older than SocialBlade itself, I used this Wikipedia article (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_viewed_YouTube_videos) for some historical data, and then interpolated between those given data points. To be extra fancy, I didn't just linearly interpolate. Instead, I looked at the Google Trends (which goes back to 2004, before YouTube) for that video title, and assumed that the number of searches was somewhat proportional to views received on that day, and interpolated using that. All that work probably wasn't worth it, though, because if you look at the two oldest videos (Evolution of Dance and Charlie Bit My finger) their view-graph lines still look pretty close to linear to me.Music:Almost Original (Instrumental) by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarudMusic provided by Audio Library youtu.be/r20_9c0fzGk
Measles rise, fall and rise in the US (1900-2019) Abacaba 2019-03-30 | Sources / my data file:drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Bz8sHXpNilri1uROvSatGiMB9PaBy2Og?usp=sharingIf the sources.txt file doesn't open, it's also here:pastebin.com/wkL74cGJNote: According to the CDC, there have been 314 cases of measles in 2019 as of March 28 (87 days). If we extrapolate to the full 365 days of 2019, we get 1,317. This may be a bit counterintuitive, because 1,317 cases of measles have not yet occured, but the rate of measles infections is correct.Music:"The Abacaba Orchestra" by DemiPixelsoundcloud.com/demipixel/abacaba-orchestral"No copyright epic action music" by No Copyright Musicyoutube.com/watch?v=anlLbQeq8tA
