Make sure to watch in 1080p or the quality will be really bad. The reason the quality still isn't great is because even though its 1080p, that includes all pixels in all 360 degrees of video. So since you're only looking at a portion of it at a time it ends up being much less than 1080p. So if you wanted 360 to look good on youtube, you'd have to upload in 4K. The problems with that are that 360 rigs that record in 4K cost upwards of $1000, plus most people's internets can't even handle streaming 4K so it would play in 1080p anyway. So please don't complain to us that it doesn't look good.

Since we've passed 1 million subscribers, we thought it was a good time to do a new Q&A video. It's been almost 4 years since the last one! Last week, we asked for questions on our social media and selected a handful to answer on camera.

It’s been a long journey and it wouldn’t be possible without our you, our viewers. Being able to see all these amazing abandoned buildings and share them online for hundreds of thousands to watch is still so surreal to us. We want to thank all of you for helping us develop the channel and get to where we are today.
