You've change my life. You deserve a platinum button, I suffer from BPD and ADHD which means my memory is awful and I can mess up frequently, and your way of learning has slowly helped me figure out a new way of learning, helping my self worth immensely!

Take as long as you need friend, and thanks for all the content . You’ve turned someone afraid of math and algorithms into someone who adores them.

Congratulations Colin. Hugely deserved. I remember you had a bit fewer subs than Priyansh at ~20k, now while Priyansh hasn't pushed content in the meantime and is very popular among Indian audience (his subs are ~46k rn), you still grew very fast and reached 126k. :goodvibes:

I loved the contest streams, your way of explaining solutions is just mind-blowing. Together with Second Thread's solution videos, that was excellent content. There's a void now in that space, that I don't think any other competitive programmer has been able to fulfill. I know it's too much of a commitment to do regular contests and these videos. Guess I'll try to solve some older contests and utilise the solution videos I haven't watched yet. Thanks for the amazing content all this time.

Congrats for your 100k! Your content actually really help me, thanks to algorithm of youtube. As academic students its really related to me and i hope continue to tell your strategy and ideas. Really support you to collect more information to deliver your ideas, i hope more people like me can get touch by your ideas too, as your content can applicable in many areas especially of the growing technology industry that many people need adopt

Update on things. I will admit, I pushed myself very hard to make 100K happen. And now I've been a bit burned out, and have taken a break. I don't know exactly how long it will be. But I'll still be doing something in the downtime.
Historically, I've never really allowed myself to learn - to look at other videos, seeing what works and what doesn't, and do more than just reverse-engineering everything from the little information my analytics give me. So I'll be doing that for a while. And that means when I come back, you're gonna be seeing a lot more quality than before.
Of course, I know that a huge thing people love about my videos is the explanation style and the useful insights that are given. So those will stick around - no aspect of the quality will drop, even if the overall style will change (probably for the better).
So in short, look forward to better stuff in the future. During this time, I'll be trialing ideas via community post like I've done before. As usual, like the post if you're interested, and don't if you're not. I can't guarantee that any particular video will be made soon, but if a post gets enough support, it will almost certainly be made eventually.
And that's all. For good measure, here's an image of the playbutton (with some quality mirror face warping).
