    On January 1st, 2014, I uploaded the first "Things You Might Not Know" video. Once the initial rush of videos settled down, I aimed for one video a week, and while there have sometimes been guest videos and occasional blatant filler: to my own satisfaction, I never missed a week. But now, it's time to stop.
    I never got to space. I never got to the ocean depths. And I never got to fly off into the sunset, harnessed underneath a helicopter. I couldn't find an excuse for that one.

It's weird to say, but I haven't re-watched a video since this one, I figured, I'll take the same break...but it's so weird to go on with life without Tom Scott feeding me weird facts from wild locations.

    We grew up watching Tom and seeing him retire now is just a big wake up check. We're no longer the bright eyed kids we once were, we're adults with adult problems and the scene is changing to fit the next generation and its just sad to see. I’m glad he is getting a chance to walk away from it and live his own life but it still hurts knowing we no longer a kids.

    Thank you Tom for being part of my childhood and for making me who I am today. I’ve been watching you since I was 12 and it’s because of that that I decided to pursue media and content creation and your approach to it has been a guide for me all these years. I don’t know if you remember but I emailed you about a year ago asking to use one of your formats for a radio show and you kindly responded! I remember how it felt to have one of my role models speaking to me as a peer in the industry and it was one of the most validating experiences ever. I hope you know that a generation of content creators have you to thank. Cheers mate.

      @@superhappygamer1162 they are growing and so are we. these big youtubers, and the current ones (Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Pewdiepie, Coryxkenshin, Vanossgaming, ect) are growing. Eventually they hit the main goals with these vids (Money, Sucess) but there comes a point in time where they don’t need all that anymore. Now they do it for fun, but sometimes, they want to live freely, so they quit. because life is so much more then just sitting behind a screen or a camera, life is precious. so while we do what we loce, sometimes it js isnt the right thing. They want to live their lives with their families and friends. Its sad, but its the right thing to do.

      @ I paid you the courtesy of visiting your channel to see what videos you have. I'm afraid to say that I for one do not find them appealing and your opportunist spamming of many comments here with the same diatribe, puts me off even considering viewing your videos. The 18.8k subscribers of your channel will disagree with me I'm sure, but you would do well to emulate Tom's professionalism and modesty if you wish to see your channel grow to the same level of this one. One comment from you thanking and wishing Tom well and offering your channel as an alternative for those who may be interested, would likely have gained you hundreds of subscribers. Sometimes being too eager and too flippant and a little bit rude has the opposite effect.

    Your dedication to explaining complex scientific concepts in an engaging and accessible manner is truly commendable. Thanks to your videos, I've been able to deepen my understanding of various subjects and develop a newfound appreciation for the world around me. Your ability to keep people curious and engaged is nothing short of remarkable.
    Moreover, I want to thank you for introducing me to some of the most peculiar and fascinating places around the world. Your explorations have sparked my wanderlust and inspired me to seek out new adventures of my own.
    In a world where it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, your videos serve as a reminder to pause, explore, and appreciate the wonders of our planet.
    Thank you, Tom, for everything you do. Your contributions to science communication and education are invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon your channel.
    I hope to have the opportunity to meet you in person someday. Until then, please know that your work continues to inspire and enrich the lives of countless individuals around the globe.

    What an incredible 10 years. It's taken me a month to be ready to watch this video. I'm going to miss (and already do) coming to this channel weekly to learn something new, interesting, and often delightfully odd. You have seen me through some of the hardest years of my life so far, bolstering my interest and curiosity about the world, and reminding me of the joy to be found in chasing down fascinating answers just for the sake of learning something new, and I am so deeply grateful. I am so proud of you for having stuck with your goal and for making it to this finish line! Congratulations Tom! It has been an utter joy to inhabit this corner of the internet with you. I look forward to checking out the other corners of the internet where you are making things. I wish you all the best, and I hope that the helicopter ride was everything you dreamed! Here's to you, and wherever your next chapter takes you!

    Tom ending his CZcams tenure in the most Tom way possible, hinting at something he’s never done before in passing before panning out and revealing he was doing that thing all along. A master of his craft to the end ❤🚁

    I find myself coming back to this video again and again only to watch the Tom Scott montage. It gives me goosebumps, makes me laugh, makes me cry, but I can't stop watching it. Wish you an overwhelming success in whatever project you pick up next.
