Questions

Across the 8 videos we measured, the median Gistil Score is 65 out of 100, and 4 came out worth watching outright. The score measures how much of the runtime carries substance; it is our own measurement, not a YouTube metric.

The three densest ones we have measured are listed above, each with the minute its value starts — so you can open one at the second it begins to pay off.

How honest are the titles on Khan Academy?

Median title honesty across those videos is 92 out of 100 — how closely a title matches what the video actually delivers.

The Gistil Score is our own independent measurement of how much of a video's runtime carries substance. It is not a YouTube metric, not a public rating, and not the video's rating on YouTube. Gistil does not alter, download or cut any part of a video — the videos stay on YouTube and play there. Not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
