Creators note:

Hello all,

Hope everyone’s spring is going well! This video took much longer than I had planned—it required extensive behind-the-scenes work to organize everything and compile all this data. In terms of research, this was probably one of my most in-depth videos yet. I really hope you enjoy it and that I was able to shed light on some important topics.

Special thanks to Brad Nulsen and Kristian Elset Bø!

And, of course, thank you, to you, the viewer! Without you, I wouldn’t be here. More to come soon!
