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.

I feel like it's because I'm a bit too old to think of YouTube as a platform for anything serious.

I mean there are literally full college courses on YouTube, and everything between that and entertainment. !opencourselectures@slrpnk.net is a Lemmy community that aggregates these courses.

Yeah, cool? I don't need or care about that... Like I said, I understand there's decent stuff there now, I'm just not going to go because it's not the only source of information out there, I still have a gut reaction of "YouTube = retarded," and, on some levels, why watch someone explain something that I can read myself?
