As someone that really enjoys his videos, I hope they’re not gone forever. I somewhat doubt they will be though. Maybe he will go back to an upload every 6 months or year after his break. I do also enjoy his Lateral podcast, if anyone hasn’t checked that out yet. Some pretty well known YouTuber guests.
As a NileRed fan, this is perfectly fine.
Never watched Nile Red, looked him up and will definitely watch some of those videos.
He has more than earned a break imo. I’ll be sad to see him go for a while, as he’s been one of my favorite creators for years now, but that’s fine. I’m sure I’ll survive.
I can’t blame him, but I’m gonna miss having a new video to watch during lunch every Monday from him!
Hopefully it’s not permanent, I love his videos! But if he does decide to retire, he still has my support. The dude’s absolutely earned a break from over a decade of grinding out videos.
Sounds like he’ll still be working on other content, like Lateral, Technical Difficulties and Tom Scott Plus.
Tom is a wonderful part of the YouTube landscape, and I will miss his videos. But then again, holy hell 10 years of this. Not only is the break well earned, he must be starting to feel some of that burn out.
A but of that going around at the moment, eh? Lots of things changing.
Before anyone gets really bummed, his channel’s not going away. He’s just taking a much deserved break from ten years of weekly uploads (which is an absolutely insane record considering the quality of his content).
My man deserves his break after working nonstop and producing consistently high quality videos for a whole decade.
I remember his video testing if pineapples can remove your fingerprint.
They don’t. He did discover the absolutely horrible pain of trying to sleep whilst having exposed tissue in the tips of every finger though.
That’s a man dedicated to a YouTube channel.
Wasn’t that extremely early in his career? That’s a young and foolish man finding out what he doesn’t want to do for a YouTube channel.
Yeah that way back when he had a ponytail and looked completely different in every way, minus the shirt.s.
Mixup knows a thing or two about taking breaks. They took a three day break from pooping.
Yeah, it’s one of those sad but beautiful things. I’m glad he went this route instead of trying to find some way to phone it in or something.
It’s always nice to see things come to their natural conclusion, without overstaying their welcome.
He’ll disappear for a little while get bored and keep doing it.

Jesus… I watch his content and never realized he did weekly! That’s incredible with his quality of content.
He deserves the break, he’s one of my favorite educational YouTubers (along with Vsauce etc.)
Well deserved & cant blame him. Wishing him the best but man I’m going to miss his videos!
Guy’s not aged well. I think the travel is rough on sleep.
Or he’s just older than you think.
He doesn’t look much older than his first video.
I think he looks exactly like a guy who aged ten years.
No way we were all ten years younger ten years ago
I mean, he really does. His hair’s almost fully grayed out and he’s got some wrinkles here and there. He looks much older than 39 imo.
Not that it really matters, we love him because of his personality and that hasn’t changed, but to say he hasn’t aged much in the past 10 years is a bit of a stretch.
And I’ve never heard of him. Fantastic channel though. Subscribed
I envy you so much right now! I wish I could forget it all and watch him again. 10 years of content you have the opportunity to go through!
Fascinating! I always thought he was one of those people everyone who is active on my corner of the internet had heard of.
They are one of today’s lucky 10K
Indeed they are! Love XKCD too.
I mean, honestly his titles and thumbnails don’t stand out much, and most of the themes he explores in his videos aren’t something you’d intentionally search for, it just gets lost in the sea of youtubers talking about generic stuff while usually not saying anything at all.
I personally found him through the “This Video has (X) Views” video, (probably the most interesting title on his channel, if not in the whole Youtube), started watching to see how it was possible and at the end I was like “wtf, this guy is awesome” and started bingewatching most of his stuff.
He’s been around long enough that he doesn’t need to cater to the typical YouTube algorithm gaming that most channels do these days. But it’s a good point, I’d you do t know about him it’s be easy to miss.
Yeah he does thumbnails/titles fit for what he wants to show to his specific audience and that’s perfectly fine. I wish the algorithm didn’t actively promote clickbait and outrage so every channel could afford to do that, but unfortunately that’s not where the money is for advertisers.
That’s a good point. I couldn’t certainly understand not knowing him if you’re a more recent YouTube user. Just shows my age I guess!
Same here.
