Hello! I'm Justin Portela. I got hired by GWWC to make YouTube videos after AI in Context did such a kickass job.Â
My channel is using that same cinematic, high-production value beauty to talk about everything in the EA universe that isn't AI.Â
Â
Â
My first video is out now. It's about an obscure and unknown World Health Organization Meeting in 1955 that helped shape the conditions that have left up to 40 million people dead of malaria in sub-saharan Africa.
I think it's pretty dope. I hope you do too.Â

What you can do
Watch it, subscribe to it, share it, do anything to help us reach more people. I made this channel to appeal to people who have never heard of EA. I want to be people's first introduction to the principles of EA and effective giving, so the more people that this reaches the better.Â
Feedback?Â

Fantastic job, Justin! I was very surprised by the quality of the video. FWIW I initially skipped watching it when I saw the title and thumbnail here because I assumed it wouldn't contain much information that was new to me or be particularly enjoyable to watch. (My assumption was wrong on both counts!) I suspect this means more experimentation with titles and thumbnails is warranted.
FWIW thumbnails and titles on YouTube are generally in a constant A/B test, and my guess is it'd be better to just let that algorithm run than to take individual opinions into account. I.e. I'd be surprised if GWWC wasn't already experimenting with the thumbnails and titles.Â
This thumbnail is much better IMO:
Yet if I go to share the video on Reddit currently the thumbnail of you sitting on the floor still shows up as the only option.
Just finished watching!! Great concept for a video, and really well executed :) Thanks for all your hard work and can't wait to see more from this channel!
(Not sure if you've got time to answer questions here, but if you do: would love to know more about your process for the animated segments? Who did those, and how long did it take?)
This is really awesome! Gives me glucose goddess meets veritasium vibes. Loved the hook too.
It's so good!
