Matpat isn’t fully gone btw, he’s just going to be doing his own things occasionally on RU-vid with new projects, just without the insane grind of hosting all four theory channels. Makes a lot of sense tbh
RU-vid has gotten worse during the years . They don’t care when big RU-vidrs are doing bad things .Yet they never cared to the small RU-vidrs and often take down their videos .
Just glad nintendo isn't as heavy handed with takedown for released games. Shorts do help as well as community tabs, let alone people who have been on social media for years aren't always gonna have good ideas. RU-vid does play favorites though enough pressure or time does make some improvements, especially the algorithm. Isn't really my role to cancel bad people, but many believe it is theirs, so they get disappointed when it doesn't go their way as they can only take things to 11, like harassing people who play hogwarts' legacy (transgenders vs anything that represents JK Rowling), or the tekken 8 mess (we good with 2 new blacks 😂, that's way more than ff16 which made them culturally irrelevant for medieval times despite history saying otherwise).
Tom Scott is not quitting forever, he will be around every once in a while. (why the hell, are you liking this, the notifications are filling up my phone bruh)
My heart broke over matpat. I’ve been going through a lot lately and RU-vid has been away for me to escape a bit from reality. Matpat was one of the ones I would watch religiously but I understand life goes on and he needs to do what’s best for him and his family. But damn it just won be the same anymore. We’ll miss you Matpat and Steph xoxo
@@jackmclaughlin9911 No one actually expected youtube to not change, but we atleast expected it to retain it’s value, like not removing core features (dislike button).
As someone who grew up with matpat from day one I literally cried and broke down, I was there when he came up with gtlive, game theory, film theory, food theory, and lastly style theory. I will always remember him..
Yeah I have to admit the guy who made the video made it seem like RU-vid is gonna die but only some of them are actually leaving the platform and not being in the sidelines or just taking a break
Social media is a hard thing to maintain along with your actual life i get why most people are quitting because it effects your health mentally and physically and it slowly begins to take over your life
Y’all understand that these RU-vidrs are not “quitting” Implying that they give up or want to forget things. Every big RU-vidr is probably under mental stress and lacks ability to do some things in life every now and then in order to please the fans. Understand that some people just need to give it up, and tbh most of these people will probably come back occasionally, as long as they can live their life
@@marcus__1400 They take it negatively because it’s heartbreaking to see a youtuber you watched growing up quitting their profession to never make videos again. I think most people understand that these people need and deserve rest after all these years.
These RU-vidrs didn’t quit. MatPat is taking a different role in the channel, Tom Scott is taking a break, CaptainSparklez is quitting Minecraft videos, and Stampy ended Stampy’s Lovely World.
When I heard Captain sparkles is quitting RU-vid, I thought of the odd ones out because that’s one of his favorite RU-vidrs and I was like I feel so bad for him
Only one who is really quitting is Tom Scott. Mat Pat is moving to a more producer type role for the channels, and from what I understand, Meat Canyon is just moving on to different kinds of videos.
I know other people have said this but MatPat isn’t COMPLETELY quitting. He just isn’t going to be the face and is going to be more in the background. We stand MatPat wanting to be there for Ollie.
He’s not quitting forever. He’s still going to be doing stuff on RU-vid just not as the face of it so he can have more time with his family. Watch the actual video he sent out.
I am from a community of creators that lost so many fantastic creators within the last year or two and some of them are coming back but not all and it’s heartbreaking seeing people who are such major figured in your life just fade out, but you move on. The community is called the “Algodoo Community” if anyone was curious.
These people are just stepping back in their roles on youtube, rather than completely quitting youtube. These youtubers are people too, and their lives have changed in the 10 years since they've started, just like ours have. Matpat is turning to a administrative role rather than a development and production role. Stampy is just ending his lovely world series, but still producing content. Tom Scott is taking a gap year essentially. He will still be posting on his podcast, but just wont upload on youtube while he focuses on himself.
@bluewolf7664 CaptainSparklez is not quitting Minecraft in its entirety. He's just not going to edit and upload vods to his main channel anymore. He will still have Minecraft content available on his second channel.
Matpat isnt retiring yet. He will be hosting gt live til the end of summer and then he will be a creative direction in the channels. Even then, id bet that matpat would return for any major bits of fnaf lore
He isn't leaving he'll gonna work on the channel every now and then and just won't be in the spotlight anymore. He managed four channels bro deserves this 😭
People getting tired of the same job for 10 years? Not suprising. A new generation of people will come into effect, and we should realize things change.
@@G.M.C2005yea and the fans don’t impact in any way his personal life other than monetarily he just want to be with his wife and kids not constantly impacted by the theory stuff
Bit of a nitpicky correction: Tom Scott said in his final video that he'll stop posting regularly, which is different from quitting. He's not going to stop uploading entirely, but his uploads will not be based on a schedule anymore. He'll just upload when he wants to. Also, he'll still appear in the podcasts he's been in. In short, Tom Scott isn't quitting RU-vid yet. He's just being an average brit :3
That's the case with almost all of these youtubers mentioned. The videomaker wants to make it seem more dramatic for viewer engagement. Even if it's to get people to comment, correcting his mista- oh. That's us. He still won.
I feel like we’re all forgetting that everyone he says is “quitting RU-vid” has been creating on the platform for over 10 years, it’s reasonable to say their done
Hes still going yo be around and taking a step back and focusing lore on being thr creator and making an arg ,snd other porjects as well focusing on his family while doing soo soo wrll still see him on holidays. Like that unlce we love seeing but rarely ever see them
Yeah honestly I can’t imagine doing something so soul crushing for the rest of my life. But hey at least they get to retire early over the people that actually keep this country functioning.
Wealth, fame, power... Matpat , the King of the theorists, obtained this and everything else the world had to offer and his retiring words drove countless souls to RU-vid.""You want my channel? You can have it! I left the password I created in one place! Now you just have to find it!
He isn’t quitting! He just isn’t going to be making much content on his own channel, however he has a channel with his friends. If you miss him, don’t be afraid to check out his podcasts
Simple Answer: RU-vidrs are people, too. They need time to pursue other dreams and/or take a break, especially those who've been at it for 10+ years. Edit: My bad they should get a normal job and work for the next 40 years of their life
Yeah, except the average person in a western country works for 40-30 years of their life, so it's not like they're just doing something the average person would do.
Your forgetting that this is youtube, this not ur typical average job. If u quit already social media will remember u as the guy who could have achieved more, and when u work for 30 to 40 years and pulling off all nighters to make ur videos perfect then u would be dead from being that tired. An average job has a schedule on what time u get off and sleep for the next day, but not RU-vid
Who cares? They get to retire early after sitting on camera for over a decade. I’ll never retire and I’m 19-20 right now. But yeah I should feel bad for them 😂
This is great! In fact, everyone watching should quit watching RU-vid all together & get out in the world & do something with y’all’s lives. RU-vid & just social media in general is a HUGE time waster. All the times you devote yourself to watching videos hours on end could be used to better yourself, pickup a new hobby anything really. This is a great move. They’re moving on with their lives. Nothing wrong with that. Everyone should follow suit.
The popular RU-vidrs may be retiring, but with a end, normally comes a new beginning. Hopefully this will lead to the rise of more young content creators who can not exactly “replace” but just substitute them. And some will hopefully make the platform better than before.
I am glad that Ian and Anthony now own Smosh again and are going to make Smosh what it truly was meant to be before being bought and directed by different groups.
Seeing great RU-vidrs quit and move on, is a mix of both good and sad. Good, because they can have time with family and focus on other things, and sad to see people we grew up with leave and quit making content.
Scott is more like a "see you later buddy" Matpat is a "farewell, ill miss you, you'll miss me" We will miss him, absolutely, he made most of out childhoods
Mattpat was my childhood while i dont want him to retire he danm well deserves it i will miss him so much hope all goes well for him and his son and wife
Y’all are acting like it’s a bad thing. These RU-vidrs have their own lives and they all spent a good amount of time on the platform changing ours. Sure, there are plenty of RU-vidrs that don’t care about their audience and just want to pump out videos, not to mention they’re straight up shitty people, but there are still great RU-vidrs out there, and eventually there will he new faces on the platform that’ll become the forefront of RU-vid. Tbh I’m pretty excited to see what the platform becomes, and the new people that’ll become famous on it.
MatPat isn't quitting, he's stepping away from the Theory channels. Tom Scott said he's taking a break. Stampy only ended the Lovely World series, he's not quitting either. Idk about CaptainSparkles and whoever the bald guy is.
I mean i think there quiting bc they have wife's and they want a vacation or something like that 😢 it's really really really sad to see your favourite RU-vidr quitting but idk if there going to come back 😞 but i think is better for them to hangout with his friends and family ♥️ Edit: he wants like to have vacation and like a better life you know ?
CaptainSparklez is not quitting RU-vid, he's just making a drastic change to his content. He is going stop uploading edited monecraft vods to his main channel. For years now, he has been livestreaming his minecraft content, and also uploading all vods to his second chennel, CaptainSparklez 2, and uploading those same vods, edited to be more like traditional youtube gaming videos. The livestreaming and unedited vods will still be available in those places.
Honestly even though matpat made some really enjoyable videos that I would listen to in the background of games for hours, I’m okay with him stopping and spending time with his family. Hes made videos for us non stop and he deserves it
matpat isn’t done forever, he said he will maybe be on some videos every once and a while and tom scott said his break will be for a long time but probably not forever.
This guy overreacted Sure matpat isn’t gonna host game theorybut it’s not like he is leaving it Tom Scott is taking a break of taking a video every week for ten years And stampy hasn’t said he left he just finished the show he was famous for
