Tom Scott’s channel will stop six months from now

I'm gonna miss his videos but the man really earned his vacation. Best of luck to him.

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).

He really is a diamond in a sea of shitty YouTube channels.

Man, I thought he was quitting for something that happened but it’s just a (well deserved) break, good for him.

I hope he takes all the rest he deserves and starts uploading again whenever he feels like it (even switching to an irregular schedule would be fine, most channels that keep a weekly one end up getting stale at some point and the fact he’s been doing it for ten years with this level of quality is amazing)

I hope he enjoys his well earned break, dude makes some of my favourite content on YouTube

He doesn't seem the type that's able to stop doing something. My bet is he'll take a well deserved break and come back full force with a new project.

A well deserved break, the amount of travelling he does for his videos must be an insane amount of miles.

It's crazy how he's been doing it non-stop for 10 years. A well deserved vacation.

I’ve loved his content for years now. He did say that he was just slowing down, not stopping and I fully support him prioritizing life.

Clearly we are all fans here, so I’ll ask what other channels people would recommend?

My top of head list includes: “Stuff Made Here” “CGPgrey” “AvE” “MinutePhysics”.

Idk where this upheaval always comes from when a Youtuber decides to not work for a while. If Dan Smithson in 69 Boredom-Boulevard, Unspectacular-City, Illinois decides to take a break from freelance-work, no one bats an eye. But if a Youtuber does it, everybody loses their minds!

His content never disappoints. I've only started watching in the last few years so I've got some backlog I can catch up on.

IIRC, in a vid a few months ago he said he'd still make content, just not in the current weekly format.

Enjoy a proper rest Tom!

Oh wow. Well deserved though.

No matter the topic his Videos were always interesting and fun to watch. Gonna miss his Videos but He deserves his well earned break

And I've never heard of him. Fantastic channel though. Subscribed

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.

Well deserved & cant blame him. Wishing him the best but man I'm going to miss his videos!

I think it's fair to say we'll miss his regularly released content, but it's fair to say he deserves a nice break.

Thank you Tom Scott!

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.

"I am currently taking a rest"

Tom Scott has some of the best content on YouTube. It's well paced, interesting and concise. He's a great dude.

Guy's not aged well. I think the travel is rough on sleep.

He deserves the break, he's one of my favorite educational YouTubers (along with Vsauce etc.)

You scared me! I thought he was quitting!

He's one of maybe 3 YouTubers whose videos I will immediately click on when I see a new one. Gonna miss his content, it's always genuinely interesting.

He has been posting his weekly videos, and I've been watching them, for as long as I've been on YouTube. I'm going to miss them.

I'm imagining him planning his vacation but making sure not to do anything that would make a good video. People who know him are suggesting off the beaten path attractions, ands just like no - I'm going to disney world.

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).

well deserved break for tom. hope he uses it for actually resting, and not for planning videos lol

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.

End of an era honestly.

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!
