Top Comments of this video!! :3
I think the main reason that Tom Scott adjusted the thumbnail on his last video is to better reflect what he's saying in the video and not because of a sudden change of mind. At around 3 min in that video he describes his plans as "taking a break" and "this probably isn't goodbye goodbye, like not forever" which clearly shows that he is reserving the option of making new content in the future.

Tom Scott never said he was retiring for good and 100%, he just said that the regular uploads would stop, he was clear on that for a long time. So the update in thumbnail (and title) is most likely just a change that was needed because many people misread the title.

This is why I recently made the conscious decision not to scale. I love the creative side and hate the business side.

We’re getting to that age in YouTube where we get to see what retirement looks like, and it’s weird….

MatPat and Tom Scott: I am gonna stop doing this specific kind of YouTube videos, that I am doing for at least 10 years, its not goodbye goodbye, but its a part of my life and audience for so long that I think it deserves a proper send of.
Internet: OMG so you guys are retiring? Never gonna seen again? What a bold move, everyone gonna miss you so much.
Also internet after realising they didnt actually retire: You liars

Thanks to you both for this episode. I constantly struggle to find the balance between channel growth and my own sanity. I burnt out super hard last fall and almost quit.

In my opinion most people that claim they have stress and burnout have never had a really crappy job. I have been in the military and have worked in customer service for Netflix. I wake up every day like it is Christmas because I am a full-time creator. Even when things are rough and the views are down it is better than the best days in the Army and Netflix.

As an artist (photographer) that got "retired" due to sickness out of my control, and also extremely frustrating because I'm not ready to stop working, I feel that first part HARD. If I wasn't stuck with the changes that got forced me; I'd 100% still be working. Lmao'd at the Tom Scott comment too, I went in late to his channel but he sure had a lot of fun. I see it as the algorithm forcing creators to put out more videos than they wanted because otherwise youtube would stop showing/recommending them. Youtube is a very strange medium now that it's trying to be commercialized by google and had lost a lot of it's freedom. Especially with the newfound ad push.

I have yet to watch the whole video but something that already struck me as weird was MatPat and Tom Scott catching flack for "retiring", when both very clearly stated that they are retiring from continuously hosting and releasing "their" main formats. Both clearly stated that they wont just be gone forever but refocus their attention elsewhere. Tom Scott retired the recurring, scheduled format. MatPat retired his main host role

Opportunity will turn any creator into a daily problem solver. Measuring your time during a week where you’re doing what makes you happy and in the creative lane you want is super valuable for pushing the needle and never having to “retire”. Great conversation guys!
