You definitely should! He has been making web content for 24+ years but the last ten he has put out one interesting video every monday without fail (plus doing a bunch of other things and being in a lot of other creator's content). He is passionate af about what he does and his content is as bite-sized as it is awesome

Happy for him, it was great content though.
Did anyone ever see the green text about Tom going off with a guys girlfriend? Hilarious, not saying Tom knew or anything.
I wish his videos cycled weekly. I missed the first few years so it would nice to catch up in a weekly format
He makes great content but a lot of my subs make great content so I doubt I'll notice when all is said and done.
What will I do without Tom Scott?
I don't know if I could do the same thing for that long. He must've liked it.
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!
Doubtful, I think the trend is going the exact opposite way
I don't care one bit.
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?

Literally don't care but maybe I'm not his target demographic. I feel like it's because I'm a bit too old to think of YouTube as a platform for anything serious. Yes, by now I'm sure folks put good quality there but no that doesn't make me want to watch it.
I honestly don't even know who he is...
That's pretty much where I'm at. There's great content on YouTube, but for every minute of quality there's millions of minutes of utter garbage. I don't like the idea of wading through it, just feels like a huge waste of time unless I have a link to something specific I'm pretty sure I'll like.
i can see what you mean, but tom scott literally is one of those links full of quality
I believe you. If a friend sent me a link I would give him a shot. But navigating YouTube looking for something to watch is my nightmare
