=== Conlangs ===
The main focus of jan Misali's channel is a series of reviews of constructed languages ("conlangs") known as Conlang Critic. The series spans four seasons of 6 or 12 episodes each, and changed format over time; for much of the series run jan Misali employed a relative rating system for the conlangs, comparing them to prior ones he had reviewed (and later prior ones within certain 'genres', like international auxiliary languages -- auxlangs/interlangs -- or artistic languages / artlangs). A subset of the videos reviewed the several conlangs created by programmer and YouTuber Jack "esperantanaso" Eisenmann, mostly critically; the last such video announced that no more 'Eisenlangs' would be reviewed since the criticism remained largely the same and jan Misali didn't want his audience to conflate critique of a constructed language with critique of a language constructor.
=== Mathematics and game theory ===
The most viewed video on the channel is currently his video "hangman is a weird game".Halley, Mitch.
