    I’m really going to miss his videos, but I’m glad he’s ending it on a happy note rather than dragging things on when he doesn’t want to. Godspeed, Tom.

    Good for him. Too many people in his position keep pushing more, and they either burn out, quality drops, or both. Going out on a high note takes some mental fortitude.

    Every influencer/whatever should strive to be like Tom, his series is the greatest on youtube of the last decade and I’m sad to see it end.

    At the same time I’m looking forward to whatever he may try out and hopefully he’ll remain somewhat relevant even though we don’t deserve him at all.

    Amazing human from the perspective of a viewer. What a career, and what a good way to… Not ultimately fuck it up.

    I’ve been watching Tom for years and now that this video is here it gives me a very bittersweet feeling, it’ll be odd not having a new video from him on Mondays. But good on Tom for realizing what’s important to him and putting it first, although I do hope that some day he is able to return to YouTube or media. And you never know, depending on how much time he takes off, maybe the next series will be “Tom Scott goes to space”!

    Die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

    Tom chose the former and I respect it. Well done sir. Thank you for all the great content.

    Sad to see him go, but I’m glad that he’s doing it on his own terms and not because he feels forced to. Gonna miss seeing new videos from him. Tom is legitimately one of the best creators YouTube has ever had on their platform.

    I guess I should watch some of his content, somehow I’ve never heard of him.

    What a way to go out lol. Also, watching the clips made me realise just how much of his stuff I haven’t actually seen.
