I’ll admit I’m a little lost/down, it came out of nowhere! Over the years he’s produced an endless stream of genuinely interesting videos. I can’t really think of any other video hosts that can make a wide range of topics sound so interesting.

Probably I’m just scared of change…

On the flip side though, I’m really happy that he’s decided his personal happiness is more important, and has decided to focus on people close to him.

I’ll admit I’m a little lost/down, it came out of nowhere!

Not to be a jackass, but I distinctly remember watching a video at the beginning of July about how he would leave in six months, and he even said his last video would go up on January 1st. It looks like the video has since been privated.

What are your thoughts?

I’m going to miss him as long as he’s not making YouTube videos, but everyone deserves a break. Still, I selfishly hope he returns soon or at all, but if not then that’s good too.

Thanks for the good times, Tom.

Was going to say the same - I distinctly remember him making a direct announcement back around June-July about him going on hiatus, and a fair few subsequent mentions throughout the last ~6 months of videos, so it’s hardly fair to Tom to say it came completely out of nowhere

I think he privates all his update videos after a certain length of time, to avoid people being confused.
