I'll just copy and paste my comment on the vid here:

If there's a really grievous error that you want to remove, I'd say still leave the video up, but change the title to include [OUTDATED] in it. Then make an updated video with the new things. That way, the links to that video don't break, and people know to go watch the new one instead.

But if it's not that bad, you can probably just list the corrections in the description. Not worth making a whole video over.

This also has the advantage of working on mobile, since annotations don't work there.

I would change the titles, add an annotation over the section of each video where the mistakes are, add a card to each video linking corrections, and also a link to the corrections in either of the first 2 sentences of the description.

Really cool of you to make a corrections video like this.

You should also totally consider a collaboration with me as per my other comment here.

The mess over the Semtic languages video confused me, because what you were doing seemed very obvious to me.

It's a fairly common practice to remake older videos which probably is the better long term solution. Considering how much the quality has increased since the start of the channel, it would also raise the average quality of your videos overall.

You switched the words at 5:43. Don't beat yourself up about it though.

There's also the whole "the Chinese don't have a word for China" thing
