The Invention of Toilets

"It is only a toilet but it should show that even small things can bring beauty into our life.
We live only once and money making is not all.
It is harmony with beauty and harmony with nature which makes us really feel good.
Beauty has an important function.
Beauty is always underestimated."
-Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1999)

Rediscover the Hilarious World of '=3': A Must-Watch YouTube Sensation

In the vast universe of online entertainment, few shows have made as much impact as "=3". Hosted initially by the charismatic Ray William Johnson, this YouTube web series quickly became a staple for comedy lovers around the globe. With its unique format that combined viral video commentary with sharp wit, "=3" captured the hearts of millions. As it evolved through various hosts like Robby Motz and Kaja Martin, its legacy continued to influence internet culture in profound ways.

The show's inception can be traced back to a time when YouTube was burgeoning with creativity and innovation. Ray William Johnson's dynamic presence and clever humor created an unmatched viewing experience that resonated with audiences seeking laughter and entertainment. His ability to dissect viral videos with humorous insights made "=3" not just a show but a weekly ritual for many fans.

After Ray stepped down in March 2014, Robby Motz took over hosting duties, bringing his own flair while maintaining the essence of what made "=3" so beloved. Although some viewers were skeptical at first, Robby's charm eventually won them over, keeping the fan base engaged and entertained.
