Retirement Video Summary:
Lots of references to old memes surrounding the channel(s)
There will be nine weeks left of theory videos
On March 9th, he will have a going away video
Noticed he said that most of his recent videos are other people doing the research, not him
A group of four people will be taking over the channel(s)
Person named Lee is going to be taking over film theory (the same person who worked on Breakdown)
Person named Amy is going to be taking over style theory
Person named Santi will be taking over food theory
Person named Tom will be taking over game theory
matpat notes that he will be on gtlive untill at least summer (estimated)
He is also making his own media. He hopes that other channels will comment on it
YOUTUBER MERCH FASHION SHOW ??? in april
classic game theory wrap up outro. solid end
All that said, he isn't completely gone, but he'll be in the background every now and then as well as some events.
In this video he looks extremely tired. He gets understandably emotional, as the channels he has started from a very small channel and has grown into much more. He notes he felt very connected to the community and fanbase he curated.
I really think this will be good for him. Earnestly. From what he's described, his work schedule is very busy and stressful. It's unsustainable for any person. So, the decision to split the workload between four leaders of people.
I hope that alongside spending more time with his family and kid, he'll find the time to reflect a little bit on his history.
In addition, with new leaders taking over the four main channels, hopefully we will get better content out of it, better written videos/scripts, original work, or at least properly cited/credited stuff.
Just better quality stuff overall. I'm sure no one would mind waiting a little longer for better quality videos.
