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 support his decision, imo some people stopping their channels is an early sign of the whole media transforming in the next 20 or so years, many interesting things will vanish, people with brain will more and more turn away from producing content / consuming content, the other will indulge in stupid stuff, like people today still watching TV & believe in it, it'll shrink more and more. This is just the beginning, that whole (social) media thing will slowly die, more real experiences will emerge in it's place again, it'll all merge into something new, but the process will last at least one generation. Have fun, Tom!
