The BEST Anki Settings and Algorithm Explained (by an expert!)

This video compiles all the knowledge I have gained about Anki's settings and algorithm in the last 3 years to help give you the best advice possible. It goes over how the spaced repetition works, what happens when you click each button, and what each of the preferences/options settings do to affect your studies. It includes settings I would recommend with the new V3 scheduler options.

Overall, this video is an attempt to show that there are no perfect settings. The most important thing is understanding how the settings work so that you can adjust them for your individual needs.
