I did a talk on the history of speedcubing at a large conference for video game developers, diving into how what was essentially a dead toy became a fast-growing sport. It's 30min and you can see it below:

Thank you so much for the survey responses you gave me. I ended up not using a lot of the raw stats, but the "why I got into cubing" answers were massively helpful. You can find a breakdown of the actual survey here.
I'm sure I made mistakes - I've already had a few pointed out! - but I had great fun giving the talk and am excited to share it with you.
