* GenreAdultery: Downplayed: Bostrom discusses many ethical topics but usually not immortality. CGP Grey outright averts this, being someone who [[GenreBusting crosses genres]] all the time and considers himself to be near-phaseless in his topics.

* CreatorsOddball: Bostrom, being an Oxford professor that specializes in existentialism and superintelligence threats, not aging, has the fable stand out from his other academic papers. CGP Grey averts it, noting in an anniversary Q&A that his video topics are substantially inconsistent.

!!Trivia Tropes:
* AdaptationFirst: CGP Grey's version is this trope to the entire world, given his relative prominence as an educational content creator compared to Bostrom's publication between the lines in a scientific journal, among many other research papers.
* AdaptationOverdosed: Although CGP Grey has the only semi-well-known adaptation, there are several animations with few views right beside his when you search it up.
* AnonymousAuthor: Enforced, and in this case, anonymous ''adaptor''; CGP Grey prides himself on privacy towards his face and name. [[spoiler:Not even TheOtherWiki has his full name(he's requested them not to show it), but [[WebVideo/CGPGrey we do]]]].
Added DiffLines:
* AuthorPhobia: Softly implied with Bostrom and CGP Grey regarding aging and death.
* CreatorsOddball: Bostrom, being an Oxford professor that specializes in existentialism and superintelligence threats, not aging, has the fable stand out from his other academic papers. CGP Grey averts it, noting in an anniversary Q&A that his video topics are substantially inconsistent.
* DenialOfDigitalDistribution: Averted: Bostrom displays the fable on the front page of his website. If anything, it's inverted: though the first publication was in a paper journal, you can pretty much only find the work online nowadays.
* FandomLifeCycle: The fable was Stage 0 for 12 years from 2005 to 2017, then Stage 2 from then to now.
* GenreAdultery: Downplayed: Bostrom discusses many ethical topics but usually not immortality. CGP Grey outright averts this, being someone who [[GenreBusting crosses genres]] all the time and considers himself to be near-phaseless in his topics.
* NewbieBoom: Outside of a few editors and translators that co-wrote the fable with Bostrom, the fandom for it was nonexistent for 12 years. When CGP Grey adapted it and exposed it to his millions of subscribers, it became one of his fandom's central tenets regarding aging and death.
* RereleasedForFree: Bostrom originally released the fable in a scientific journal, which costs money as a book. He now hosts a free article on his website that contains the text and an appendix. Of course, CGP Grey's video is also free.
