This clock was famous, but the internet ruined it.

Really disappointed by the ad at the end of the video.
“I tried to write a more honest VPN commercial. The sponsor wasn’t happy about it. • Get ██ days of ███ VPN free at ██████.com/honest”[Tom Scott in 2020 roasting VPNs and saying he left a lot of money on the table to not promote any.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDQEoe6ZWY)
“👨💻NordVPN’s best deal is here: [https://nordvpn.com/tomscott](https://nordvpn.com/tomscott) – with a 30-day money-back guarantee!”Tom Scott in 2022
Looks like the first video was just not paid well enough and his ethics went through the window.
I hope he addresses that otherwise he lost at least one fan.
edit:[looks like he did a video in the past and addressed it. With a robot “selling him out”.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=385&v=uXlQuTRSmzc&feature=youtu.be)
Doesn’t really address the points in the his critics to VPNs tho.
A while ago I was working with a large (publicly available) government dataset containing info on all registered addresses and buildings (the [BAG](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basisregistratie_Adressen_en_Gebouwen)). And I was convinced I’d found an error, as a couple buidings seemed to have an almost impossibly large amount of surface area. Turns out I was looking at the flower markets, and Schiphol i believe.

Not as famous as Games Workshop’s Squat Clock, may its machine spirit rest in the Emperor’s peace.
who fnk cares maaaaaaaaannnn
Wow I live like 15 minuten from there. I knew it was big, but I didn’t know it was the size of the Vatican.
That sounds like a really weird way to do pricing for flowers.
Who wants gamestyle show pricing.
This was exactly what came to mind recently when a bunch of Dutch farmers protested to the government claiming they don’t unnecessarily contribute to global warming.
TLDW?
They should capitalize on it by running a tourist auction for single bouquets and doing tours about the history.
Let’s face it – the internet ruins everything
> The technicians managed to solve it so that there’s no advantage whether you’re around the corner or whether you’re in, say, London.
I would like to learn more about this…
I always know a Tom Scott video before I even click it.
I thought time was money.
There still are Dutch auction clocks.
One of them is located at Broeker Veiling, an old auction house that is preserved as a museum. Visitors can participate in the auctions.

This seems like one the video titles that was machine generated.
Fast Forwarded multiple times
Didn’t see a clock
Boo from the ADD crowd
the most interesting bit of this video was the revelation that NordVPN was sponsoring a Tom Scott video!
Ahh shoot one of my bucket list items was to see a flower auction at the market in Amsterdam.
