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.

What are your thoughts?

I'll take things I don't care about for 100 Alec.

Like its fine. Youtubers owe you nothing. Its his business what he does with his time. And like, who really cares what youtubers are doing? I mean is that something you should be caring about? Didn't you have something important you were suppose to be doing with your time?

It doesn't necessarily bother me that he's retiring from weekly videos, but there's something to be said for the comfort of regular videos from a person you've grown to like over the years.

Humans are by their nature social animals, and there's really no harm in mourning the end of an era, however small it may be.
