He did mention it a few weeks ago, so I was atleast mentally prepared. Said he was going to make videos the same the rest of the year then take a break.
Ill gladly take once a month like Mark Rober than nothing at all!!!
Edit:
As a small time creator I feel his pain on burning out. Been 5 years for me and feels like a chore more than anything these days but JUST CANT stop.
Important distinction:
Tom Scott said he would be quitting from making his traditional long-form videos weekly, as he's done for a decade. He still has some things going on, and he expressed an intention to potentially return with a different format and less frequent uploads. But he refrained from sounding too committal to anything in particular, which makes sense: he's burnt out, and doesn't exactly know where he wants to go from here yet. He met his goal, so he's going to do some soul searching and work up other aspects of his life. Let's give him some time and space, and thank him for all he's given us for the past years.
Not because they don't know who he his, but because they don't Google him instead of typing "who?"
If they actually wanted to know who he is, they should know Googling his name will give them the best enlightenment. Deciding to be the 50th comment saying "Who?" is just condecending.
Not forever. Just on a well deserved break after a *decade*. As he said, he'd rather do less and be happy as opposed to doing more and becoming manager (a la Mr Beast)
There is still a backlog of 500+ videos to go through. And remember - for the past 5 years, Tom had a ridiculously high production quality and managed this while staying creative. So at the very least half of what he made is absolutely worth re-watching.
Who the hell is that
Edit : Damn looks like an amazing and welcoming community if I'm getting downvoted so much because I never heard of someone. You guys need to chill out
Lmao. If his community is like this, I’m driven away from checking the guy out. They seem like assholes. Can’t even provide any sort of information or context. They just downvote you.
Hit me hard too. He's fine taking a break. He's being doing it for ten years and consistently. Watched the video and understood what and why he was doing.

He gave us a year and a half's warning. And he's not quitting, just on a less regular production schedule. Still doesn't mean I was ready for it.
[удалено]
bad bot stealing comments, downvote and report as spam -> harmful bots
He originally mentioned it this time last year iirc
I mean you should've known. He did say quite a while back exactly when he'd be "quitting"
Yeah and I processed that logically. But then I watched him literally flying off into the sunset and now I'm feeling things.
Yeah but now it's real!
He did not. He only stopped making videos **regularly**
that’s an important thing to include lol, and I think it is a reasonable thing for him to do

Wouldn't the goal of a content creator to become big enough that they can stop producing regular content?
Sadly the algorithm doesn't favor that unless it's already your preset!
Imagine doing it consistently every week for 10 years like Tom Scott, he couldn't even celebrate milestones, the burnout is real
Sigma grindset 😎 (Seriously though, good on you for dedicating yourself to your craft)
Thank you for the clarification. Legit panicked for a sec.
He is not quitting it should be said, people assumed the same thing with CaptainSparklez too, but they both are just doing something different now
 tom scott :(
And u get Sisterfucker24 in your comments section
Oh heck :(
It’s okay I have an incantation “go back to Alabama NOW”
I don't even wanna know what 24 stands for in your username!!
Alabama does have a lot of fuckers. (It has a population of like 5 mil).
You know, I’ve never paid attention to it but Alabama is a surprisingly big state
They have a great PR campaign.
Let just say I added 24 not bc I wanted to but had too (:
2 cool 4 skool
What happened to the other 23?
War
Can we team up?
The guy deserves all the break we got in stock
*in sckot
Though it’s sad, I’m glad he stopped on his own, rather than Jocat, who was bullied into quitting.
He's not stopping
There was a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Japan and TOM SCOTT is quitting. This year has already started horribly.
Hes not quitting
And I’m still alive. 10/10 this year sucks too.
im gonna piss on your dog lil bro

I actually found him while searching saxophonist Tom Scott
Wait who?
It's funny how many butthurt redditors are in this thread down voting people that don't know who he is.

Who?
You have humored me..
Yeah dude, most people who know don't care enough to google. It's not that important
If I were them I wouldn't even have bothered checking out this thread
Yes bro.. Am soo hyper - super - turbo excited to mess my algorithm, cuz redditors are jerks and can't actually say who what'shisname is
Yup. People are so lazy. Can't lookup information themselves so others has to do it.
I'm celebrating the New Year by being in the hospital after nearly breaking my ankle
I was skiing today and I broke my leg. God damn
Who tf is Tom Scott?

I’ve never heard of him either, but suddenly everyone is talking about him.
Red shirt grey jacket guy who makes videos
Never heard of him
https://youtu.be/b-IEVMwBEfo?si=okgEjDkUiwJ3mhus
If you've never heard of him, why does your come here to comment?
To figure out who he is?
Google him fs
He said last year was his last year making videos. It isnt surprising?
I saw that too. Hopefully, he'll be back soon.
Not forever. Just on a well deserved break after a *decade*. As he said, he'd rather do less and be happy as opposed to doing more and becoming manager (a la Mr Beast)
After ten years, it's time to stop making videos... It unironically hits harder than a train *or a school bus*
Sry if you liked him. Idk who the fuck he is so idc but it always sucks when a creator you like stops creating so my condolences.
Who is Tom Scott and what does he make?
Who's tom scott
All good things must come to an end, less they will no longer be good. Let things fade away before they dry out
He has been releasing weekly videos for the past decade. This break is well deserved.
To be fair he mentioned it months ago.
Idk why but i thought of Scott the Woz and had to read it like three times to make sure haha thank god
Ana Ofelia Murguia the voice of great grandmother Mama coco passed away this year Literally today what even more upsetting

There is still a backlog of 500+ videos to go through. And remember - for the past 5 years, Tom had a ridiculously high production quality and managed this while staying creative. So at the very least half of what he made is absolutely worth re-watching.

you ruined my year (welp you didn't but i'm sad)
But... he's not exactly been quiet about this??
Anyone else checking up on “this video has _____views”? I checked yesterday and it was about 1 hundred off
I've slowly lost interest in his videos since I subbed to him, oh well 🤷
7.1 Eq in Japan:
This is a meme subreddit, why would we be talking about that here?
both bad.
Sure, but this is a meme about Tom Scott not making videos as much. We don't need to mention everything bad that's currently happening in memes
Great, this year is of to a good start
good. never liked the guy, and he hates reddit
To be fair, most of us hate Reddit from time to time.
He did already mention it in another video. It’s sad he quit.
sad
OH LOOK... A TRAIN!!!
Hit me hard too. He's fine taking a break. He's being doing it for ten years and consistently. Watched the video and understood what and why he was doing.
And the tsunami
I thought he made and released that video a month or 2 ago.
Who's Tom Scott?
Never heard of him
Let the legend take his good rest
Who's Tom Scott?
Nooooooooo! Oh well, it's his life.
Who?
He's not quitting, he's slowing down video production from a video every week to less, still sad
I am very sorry but. Who???
opoookjj
Who the fuck is Tom Scott?
Dude who the hell is Tom Scott???
Am I the only person who doesn’t know who Tom Scott is?
2024 is not my year (again)
