Thank you for buying us a house!

We're going to buy a house, and we're going to make the subscribers pay for it! With the support of my viewers over the past ten years, pixel girl and I have finally been able to buy a house. I wanted to make this house move in vlog to say thank you, both for enabling this particular life milestone, but also for sticking with me and for making the comments and discord and my social media replies such a wonderful community. I am so, so lucky to do this job, and to have a kind, generous, thoughtful group of people who enjoy the stuff I do. So thank you, so, so much.

I clearly remember...the first video I watched was the "Day in the life of an Oxford physics student"...and tbh.. that video alone..is the reason I'm currently pursuing science... I was at a point in life where I didn't know if I was even smart enough to get into science..and when I was in Highschool I had literally gone through your whole PHD playlist..
That inspired me...and really congratulations on the house you f*cking deserve it!! Keep it up🔥🔥🥳

[harimaj]

Congrats Simon, you deserved a lot, cause you are scientist who unselfishly shares your knowledge with your audience. Really like what you are doing, congrats again and enjoy your new home. Cheers

[ruhaanb]

Hey Simon, just want to say that you are an inspiration. I do not want to speak for the thousands that watch you, I do not even expect you to see this message, even if you do... I do not expect you to care. But you are an inspiration to at least one person in this world. Your PhD vlogs, your climate change videos, the videos about programming, the book club, the podcast, the streams it has all been a source of pure joy and inspiration. Cheers for new house, well deserved :)

[Gigano]

Congrats on the success; dibs on the paint on your north-facing kitchen wall...

[chaimno]

0:37 that camera view reminds me of your PhD vlogs, loved that vlog series. NEED MORE VLOGS PLS

[mariakoszalin]

Yay! Watching you since Oxford days ;p

[beckapick]

Just yesterday I had suicidal thoughts.. I remember, you used to have them too (draw your life - was one of the first vids I watched) & also self-harmed in the past.. I’m so glad you kept on living, became a prominent physicist & youtuber, and now building your own life with the pixel girl <3 It gives me a lot of hope. I wish you guys happiness & love for ever, so happy for you!

[DareToRS]

Congratulations, Simon! I'm genuinely so happy for you and PG. :) Seeing you endeavor to grow as an academic and a scientist throughout the last several years has been inspiring; you've overcome countless challenges and once-insuperable obstacles, and I would say you've earned this several times over. Here's to ten more years!

I wish I could remember when I subscribed, but my oldest-viewed video of yours is one of your Oxbridge vlogs while you were in your Master's course from around nine years ago. I found your channel just as I was in the midst of my undergraduate career, and finding someone whom I could relate to - who had already ventured further into their academic career and could offer advice and reflect upon their own academic journey - was a constructive and encouraging discovery that I'm grateful for.

[Hatsoffsip]

Been here since Oxford Year 4. I just finished my BSc in theoretical physics at Imperial, I’m going to do my MSc at Oxford next and your channel has had a part to play in that, so thank you :)

I don’t know any YouTuber more genuine and honest than you. I remember jumping out of joy when you fixed your PV inversion code and crying when you got your PhD. You truly deserve every bit of good that comes your way.

[susim]

Congratulations. Your first house is so exciting. Your home looks lovely. I'm so glad your channel is providing you with a reliable income, as you've always given us quality information.

[navyasharma]

Congratulations to you and Pixel Girl, Simon! Your channel has been a huge part of the last few years for me- so much so that I am heading to visit Exeter in a month since your videos made me fall in love with it! : ) I even found accommodation at the university haha

[NailHeavenAshford]

I stumbled across the video about your dad. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m also pleased to see you bought a house. I looked at your content. You have a new subscriber. Onwards and upwards with your YouTube journey.

[Marciocha]

I've been here since the Oxford days! Back in the day this Polish gal's childhood dream was to study at Oxford and that's what drew me in to your channel. A few years later I even got an interview there 😊 No offer though, but I really didn't take it personally. Ended up doing an integrated master's in biology at Sheffield and I now work for a sustainability education charity - the evolution of your channel matched really well with the direction my life and interests took, and I'm definitely sticking around for the foreseeable 😉 Congratulations on the house!

[jankowskimarek]

I've been subscribed to the channel since Oxford days, my friend an I discovered your films. And ever since, throughout my academic years I have watched all of your movies which were always natural and well made. Sincere congratulations, Dr Clark and thank you.

[dyver]

I honestly consider you a pretty big inspiration - A few years ago I dropped out of uni to pursue a different degree, which I was much more passionate about. Part of the reason I ended up doing that was remembering your PhD. vlogs and how passionate you are about your field. Congratz on the house, it's damn well earned!

[jaedie]

Congratulations Simon! I came across one of your Oxvlogs in the fall of 2014 when I had just started my undergrad in Canada. I went back to the beginning, literally starting at your first video from 2010 and would watch them, as well as the original Oxvloggers, as a form of motivation to study and try to enjoy my time at university. Somehow even your physics content really helped encourage me through my drama and history degree so take pride in that haha. Happy to see you off on this new adventure.

[rherman]

This is so exciting for you!!! I Remember my first house, back in IT is fun, home ownership for the most part. You don't worry about scratching a wall, the people upstairs unless its "what are the kids up to, its too quiet." Congrats!

[ketrakrelek]

nice one!
been here since my masters year in undergrad (2016 ish) from your phd vlog days, so thank y o u for sharing your experiences and expertise with us randos on the internet

[rustbeltpipes]

Thrilled to see this video, Simon! I've been watching on and off since the Exeter days, and it's been a genuine pleasure. Whether it's your YouTube channel, your twitch, or the non-content of the Wikicast, you've been constantly improving. Thanks for it all, and here's to many more years!

[daveberg]

Wonderful. Congratulations. What an incredible step in life. You have earned it Simon. Keep up the intelligent content.
