Well, it took about half of a year and a half to make, but I have finally made it, the "Magnum Opus" of the channel, my very first informative video that also brings awareness to what exactly happened to the Discovery Channel, and why it went from a channel about education and science, to the reality show filled hellhole it is now 

Here are some of the articles I have used for this video in particular (all images and clips belong to their rightful owners, I own nothing in this video.......please do not butcher me alive YouTube overlords):
