Genuinely heartbroken but happy for him at the same time.

Literally flying off into the sunset. He will no longer make YouTube videos. He said he might make the occasional one from time to time, but he might not.

He's taking a break for a while, and won't do something as regimented as weekly researched videos again. He's still doing Lateral, his podcast, and a few smaller projects like the newsletter.

I'm hoping after he takes his break, he's able to find a healthy balance where he can create several videos a year when he really wants to, and finds it creatively fulfilling. It really seems like he loves exploring the topics he tends to cover, so it seems unlikely he won't return at some point. How long the break will be seems to be the biggest unknown.
