to be honest, i still have no clue what kicked all of this off beyond a miscommunication that got way overblown, but it's nice to see that for once, a participant in it is actually taking the step of solving the problem here instead of just awkwardly letting it fester forever and letting people hash it out until the end of time needlessly. i feel like a lot of people who get involved in weird, petty beefs like this on the internet never actually bother to resolve them and it just becomes a perpetual pissing contest between fans of whoever's involved.

I had never heard of Coffee Break before his Kurzgesagt video either and can't say I was impressed by it... but this apology takes balls, so kudos to him, and thanks for sharing it.
p.s. For those curious, he also removed the old video... which is both good and bad, in a way. I wish YouTube allowed people to leave a message behind to explain why they removed a video, so in this case he could point it to the apology/retraction.
