Good video, but waaaay too busy with sound effects. Also they are painfully loud. You dont have to have swooshes and bings every sentence- have faith that your content will hold your audiences attention without needless bings and bongs

[kzmaven]

Good content, but those sound effects are terrible and quite distracting.

[john]

"What kind of sound effects do you want?"

"YES"

[byronbuck]

I don’t think the narrator has ever even been close to Oregon given his pronunciation of Willamette. But other than that and other mispronunciations, it’s a decent little piece on important history.

[kurterickson]

Cholera is pronounced CAW-LER-UH and not CHAW-LER-UH.

[plisskn]

Really informative and well made, thanks. Only the sound effects are really annoying and makes the video hard to follow.

Jerry Lewis and Roy Clarke travelled that route...lots of laughter and singing songs.

You pronounced Oregon 3 different ways. Areegan city, Oregon trail, and the state of Oregahn😂. loved the video!!

[dLimboStick]

You can totally tell that this is being narrated by A.I. So many things are mispronounced. Hell, it even pronounces Oregon in about four different ways.

Shotty AI video. I have a feeling theres going to be more of these in the near future.

[markpalmer]

Many of the people wound up in Northern CA and didn't realize that they were not in Oregon for years.

[JB-grom]

It’s Willamette, rhymes with d-a-m-n-i-t. 😊

[barbaradarnell]

On the third try he actually pronounced Oregon more or less correct.

Traveling on the Oregon Trail, kinda puts sitting in the last row in a center seat on a long flight on Spirit Airlines into perspective… 😂

6:25 The classic "Oregon Trail" game begins in 1848. By the end of that year, Spain would cede the Cimarron and California regions to the US, and the trail would get more hype from the gold rush the next year, resulting in the cut-offs going that way.

On another note, nor did the game lie about the prevalence of infectious diseases like cholera spreading on the trail, especially through communal use of waterways wherever travelers set up camp.

[TheRadioAteMyTV]

For all those who wear earbuds or headsets listening to the video with all the bells and actual whistles, I say,

Easy on all the high pitched sounds please. They keep getting louder and more painful through the video. I want to learn not be stabbed in the ear.

[bobharrison]

The valley in Ory-gun is pronounced "wil LAM et.

[benderpresident]

You really pronounced oregon correctly when saying oregon trail, and then proceeded to butcher the word when saying just the state in the next sentence. Oregun* is how it is pronounced.

[Biochemist]

"Cha-lera" is incorrect. It is "Ka-lera". Is this AI generated?

From what I heard there's two people playing pingpong while their tea is ready and one of them keeps having great ideas..
