It's funny how, after years of hearing his voice and not seeing his face, seeing his face puts me in smack in the middle of the uncanny valley.

I feel like quite a few of the content creators I watch are starting to “show their face”, though the big one that comes to mind is the Real Engineering guy. A few of his newest videos have had him acting a bit like a host, interviewer and narrator.

It’s also weird when some of these creators swap with somebody else, like veratasium has had his producer do some of the videos instead.

The big reveal would be AvE.

I noticed a few of the people I watch revealed their face last year before the big collab with Mark Rober.

I used to like AvE till COVID. Then he became an anti-masker conspiratorial nutjob.

He started revealing his face in 2020 as a way to help people maintain human connection during lockdowns. A huge number of the comments on the video were about his channel name and icon, one of his eyes actually looks like that.

He featured multiple times before with Matt Parker and Brady Haran (NF), strange that you missed it. Although I guess even in this niche channel preferences vary wildly.

What's NF? ChatGPT thinks it refers to Numberphile in this comment, but wouldn't that be NP? I've never seen Numberphile abbreviated as NF.

Especially because when narrating the audio is better than someone being filmed casually, that small difference can get really weird

Randall Munroe from xkcd is a stick figure (cueball), and you can't convince me otherwise.

His "What if?" videos have his actual voice, and it sounds nothing like a stick figure. Horrors.

Well, now we know what the logo and the channel name is referencing! (His eye)
