I'm sad, but I didn't want to comment on the video saying that I'm sad, because he deserves to choose what he wants to do. But I'm sad.
You can be happy for the person making the choice that they are making, but also feel bad/sad about the effect it has on you.
I don't want Tom to commit his entire life to YouTube. I respect him as a person and want him to do what's best for him, but I also really enjoyed his content and will miss his regular high quality uploads. One of the first things I'd do when I got home from that first work/school day of the week would be to watch the latest Tom Scott video. I've massively dialed back my YouTube watching in recent years, but I still always watch his content.
One silver lining is we might get more technical difficulties.
You're aloud to be sad, Vlad.
(Sorry I couldn't help myself)
This is how I feel when colleagues resign from my workplace... I'm sad that I'll miss their presence at work, but ultimately happy that they're expanding their careers and moving onto bigger things.
