Tom Scott will post 26 more videos before taking a break after 10 years of weekly content.
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).
Jesus… I watch his content and never realized he did weekly! That’s incredible with his quality of content.
My man deserves his break after working nonstop and producing consistently high quality videos for a whole decade.
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.
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.
He really is a diamond in a sea of shitty YouTube channels.
There are so many fucking good ones. It’s less of a sea and more if an entire galaxy at this point, and there’s whole planets to explore.
Totally agree. YouTube is a place I can watch someone tinker with some 30 year old CAD software on 30 year old hardware for an hour, and somehow there’s 100k other weirdos enjoying the same content.
God I wish discovery features were better. There’s so much great stuff out there but it’s so hard to find it.
It’s crazy how he’s been doing it non-stop for 10 years. A well deserved vacation.
I’m gonna miss his videos but the man really earned his vacation. Best of luck to him.
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!
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 couple of years back he did stop the park bench with Matt cold turkey though… So I can see him stopping or massively slowing down his main channel stuff, but he will keep doing other things on the side for sure!
He then started up Tom Scott Plus and they ramped up the technical difficulties channel so it holds that he probably only stopped one thing so he could start something else.
I hope he enjoys his well earned break, dude makes some of my favourite content on YouTube
A well deserved break, the amount of travelling he does for his videos must be an insane amount of miles.
I want to believe that he has accumulated many air miles, and is going on one hell of a holiday.
“I am in the Heathrow British Airways First Class lounge with a bottle of champagne”.
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)
Yep, similar story for Coop772 from the Nerf community.
Even PewDiePie is taken a break to be a father
But one day after he uploaded the break video, he posted another one. :")
No matter the topic his Videos were always interesting and fun to watch. Gonna miss his Videos but He deserves his well earned break
well deserved break for tom. hope he uses it for actually resting, and not for planning videos lol
You scared me! I thought he was quitting!
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”.
It’s weird to see AvE recommended these days. I used to never miss a video, but unsubscribed over a year ago when the content felt like it fell off.
As for long form videos, I’d highly recommend Defunctland or Super Eye Patch Wolf.
Technology Connections for that real deep dive into shit you never knew you wanted to know.
Practical Engineering, Real Engineering, Wendover, Climate Town, Kurzgesagt, Polymatter, Smarter Every Day, Veritasium, and The School of Life are a bunch of my favourites in the educational space.
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.
