      Hell, he even said as much. That he’ll most likely make some more videos. It’s basically just a departure from the feeling of obligation to keep up a weekly schedule.

      Though, he’s not even leaving content creation. He’s still got plenty of other projects running. That makes him less likely to hop back on than most, since he’s actually got real other plans

        Exactly! 6 months ago when he made the announcement, that’s exactly what he said. He will still be making content across his multiple channels. But his ‘new video every Monday’ is done with.

      It’s not about viewership at all imo. It’s extremely hard to completely change your lifestyle after 10 years of exact same work. I bet he’ll be back very soon, perhaps on random schedule, but still doing the same stuff

      He’s not even really gone. He’s just not doing 52 videos a year, on the regular.

      Presumably his next release will be circa February. Just a wild guess for enjoying a long-anticipated break. Then I’d expect another 20-odd videos this year, distributed basically at random.

      Not counting videos that are just him and the squad, which will hopefully come back in style. Citation Needed videos are fantastic. Four people with wildly different areas of expertise, who’ve known each other for ages, faffing about on-camera.
