How do you feel about Tom Scott going on hiatus after 10 years?
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.
Tom Scott has been in my life for the best part of 7 years and it didn't hit me how much I would miss him until that montage at the end of his last video, where I was reminded of so much stuff. It really made me smile, laugh and then feel quite emotional because the weight of that chapter ending suddenly hit me.
Sometimes you can only really appreciate something when it's too late. Tom put so much effort into all of his content. Far more than the average YouTuber.
That's not to say he's gone forever, which he clearly stated but I would love to buy him a drink and thank him in person for being in my life and entertaining me for all that time.
