About
About Inconvenient Math
A documentary series that takes everyday purchases apart to see who pays and who keeps the rest.
The idea is simple. Almost every product, card or contract you meet has a number in the middle that nobody advertises. We find it in a primary source (a 10-K filing, a court case, a government dataset), do the arithmetic out loud, and show what it means for the person on the other side of the counter.
New episodes drop on YouTube every Tuesday and Friday at 11:50 am Eastern. Short cuts of each episode go to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram and X.
How we work
- Every number in an episode comes from a primary source, and the sources are listed on the episode page.
- If a claim cannot be traced to a document, it does not go in the video.
- We say when something is an estimate, and we show the other side of the argument.
How we make money
Some pages carry affiliate links. If you buy through one, the channel earns a small commission at no cost to you. Recommendations are chosen to match what an episode argues, never the other way around. Read the full disclosure.
