The Worst Year to Be Alive

2020. The worst year that most of us have ever experienced. A pandemic took the lives of millions, forced us to stay isolated indoors for months, shut down the globe, and forever changed the way we live and work.

Some of us, like Anna Del Priore, who lived to 108, not only experienced the chaos of Covid-19 but ALSO lived through the Spanish Flu in 1918, which killed an estimated 20 to 50 million people around the world. For Anna, the ‘worst year ever’ award might be tough to give.

But what if I told you that there was a time in recorded history that was worse, far worse, than both 2020 and 1918?

Thanks for the videos I've been watching for the past few hours. I really like this channel 😊

I found the Corona time, the stillness of it, really great. Good for soul searching.

Chilling with my blunt while listening to aperture is the best feeling ever.

Very very powerful videos you make and it has a lot of meaning. You worked very hard to make these videos. These are master pieces

I like the new format focusing on more history! How about a video on astrophobia? There are some terrifying planets out there that seem so interesting to me.

honestly i think it was 2021-2022, in 2020 i was still in the period where i was thinking "wow! no school!"

Those snippets of information. Great work. Seeing connection to what was supposed to be the last religion. Connected to climate.

Thought provoking to say the least.

I found myself after corona. The solitude and our fragile life made me comprehend the importance of how rarity it's to be alive.

I had a worst decade in my 20’s.
I lost my Grandpa at 20…my older brother at 21…my Dad at 24…my other older brother at 27😔…My family has been forever changed.
I did have a baby girl at 30🥰. She was the best baby and is a great daughter. I am grateful 🌎☀️❤️

Our ancestors survived that year just so i can exist today, and yet I'm just wasting valuable time by doom scrolling. Must make it count from my successors.

The worst year to be alive is subjective and subject to environmental influence. One man's junk is another man's treasure.

Anything can happen again. It's how it's dealt with that matters.

Man I wish he didn’t have ads, it’s like cmon man I’m listening to this to fall asleep and then get hit with a fifth of the video being an ad. Loved his old content, hate his new

COVID year was the best year for me have lots of memories

[watcher]

2015 for me. Lost my mother, my job and benefits, accidentally killed my own cat of 15 years, had to move and then became homeless. Things are mostly better now though.

Most of the Covid year was great for me. Because of doing school online I had a lot of time to go places and just have fun. Didn't have to worry about missing school. It only got bad at the end when everything just felt depressing

[danielward]

For me, 2021 was worse because whilst 2020 felt novel continued lockdown and taking my GCSEs made me depressed for a while in 2021. So glad I am out of it now.

2020 till now has been awesome! Had a year where I didn’t have to deal with people, had time to think and sort out my mental health, and business has been booming since. A repeat would be awesome!
