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?

It's a shame to see him go, as his weekly uploads were always interesting things to look at, and have inspired some parts of my bucket list...

Having said that, after 10 years of weekly uploads (about 520 videos) without missing a single one (excluding guest videos), he absolutely deserves a hiatus from this series.

If his passions lie in his other works (ala Technical Difficulties), I say let him pursue those - I'd much rather see Tom work on other content than have him burn out and dissappear from the internet entirely, he's too good for that.

Plus, who knows, maybe he'll come back to do one-off specials or start it up again with less frequent uploads - but either way, that's for Tom to decide, not us.
