Q: Why do all other history Youtubers present locations on ugly 2d maps, and you're the only one that uses a pleasant 3d globe?
A: well, the reason i decided to invest in the 3D technology for the history of the world video, was because i knew i had to zip around to very extreme and distant locations, and it just wouldn't have had the right effect on a 2D map. think of that cold war north pole shot. the dynamic between those 2 regions just wouldn't play out nearly as well in 2D. the projection would dement it all up
