Your Halo videos were always a great watch. While it’s sad that you aren’t pursuing YouTube further I completely understand the struggle of allocating free time during a busy schedule and truly wish you the best. I can tell you put so much heart and passion in all of your videos, even the ones filled with criticism because you loved Halo just like any other fan at the end of the day.

For what’s it worth, you held your convictions unlike the Act Man or LNG, and for that you were the most genuine voice we had in the Halo scene. I haven’t followed either of those guys in years, and I find your thought provoking content much better than their second hand advertising. While I understand that you are letting go of your wish to be a YouTuber, I don’t think your lack of success has any indication of the quality of your uploads. In a world where Jake Paul and Tik Tok Dancing are showered with views, high views mean nothing. I’ll enjoy whatever you upload, whenever that is. Thanks for being an honest and great creator over the years. #Sprintsucks

Much love Fav! We support you and I personally really like the new approach you’re taking! I’m glad you’re choosing to not overwork yourself, that’s never healthy. We look forward to what lies ahead!

Even with fewer uploads, this is one of my favourite channels. If you'll configure your patreon to be per video, instead of per month, I'll happily pledge again.

Bless you dude, that’s a irritating realization to come to, but we all come to it, like how I’ve plateaued around 115 subscribers (I mean, my videos are not as good as yours so there’s that)

Perfect brotha. Glad to know you're not quitting altogether because you put some of the most well put-together videos on gaming that are out there. The wait for your videos will be worth it

The best part of your videos are the quality. Part of the problem with YouTube is that creators fall into a pit of having to create content constantly which can hinder the quality. Look at all the halo youtubers just using clips from Reddit or Twitter with haha funny titles. We’re in a fat drought for anything Halo, it’s hard to really say much when everything is so unknown. Take your time man, and do whatever you’re passionate about. You’ve rooted yourself as a halo YouTuber, but hell, I’ll listen to your takes on anything. I really dig your format and I look forward to whatever you create! Also livestream sometime? They’re fun

If you build it they will come, maybe not in the numbers you hope for, but from what I’ve seen quality content gathers an audience. Either way, I’ve enjoyed your work and you gotta do what you want to do, not what may or may not be expected from you.

Honestly, the best content anyone can possibly make is the content they enjoy making. I'm glad you'll still be posting videos because you've been one of my favorite creators of the past few years. I'll be excited for whatever you post! Hope you and your family are doing well!

You've always been quality over quantity and that's why we love your stuff. I'm just glad you aren't abandoning YouTube altogether like you've toyed with on Twitter

I’m just glad to hear that you’ll post once in a while. I was sad to think that you might never make a video again. You can count on me to check out whatever you put out next👍

That’s a bummer man, but I understand. I’ve always enjoyed your videos and look forward to the future ones you put out. I will say this though. Don’t give up man. Okay so you’re scaling back a bit, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t get to where you want to be. I think you make quality content and articulate your thoughts better than most. I’m surprised you don’t have a lot of subs. Some times it just takes one video for some people. I’ve seen it happen. Don’t give up on your dreams man. If you truly are content though I respect and support you all the way. See you at a 100k 🤘

Your viewership is pretty solid? This is quite a surprise but I understand that it's not an ideal situation, it's not the end, wish you well brother. Tuning in to one of your videos was like waiting for a new season of a show, good shit xD

always here to support your content brother, i didn't subscribe because i expected you to be a daily or even weekly uploader, i subscribed because you make good content!

Hey man, it's great to hear anything from you. Don't feel pressured to meet a quota or even to show up and defend classic Halo all the time. I saw your podcast with WpnsGrade - I agree that it's not going to be healthy to cling to something that causes such negative emotions when the odds of it changing get dimmer every year. Video games are supposed to be fun, so I say focus your free time on the ones you enjoy.

Hiatus update
Hello folks. Hard to believe its been over half a year since my last upload.
While I've spoken about this on Twitter a bit, I think you should know I've stopped pursuing YouTube as a career. It never was a career for me, but for a long time I wanted it to be.
I'm at peace with letting this dream go. Im at peace with never having hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and I'm ok with going a month or more without an upload.
I'm well aware retention, consistent uploads, engagement are all crucial to long term success but I'm just not interested in making my self miserable over it.
With that being said I will still make videos. Really really big ones. Maybe months apart from one another but whenever I feel compelled I will post here.
I've come to realize that those are the types of videos I actually want to make. And with my schedule and minimal free time, I realize they'll take months to complete even just one.
I'll make them worth the wait, and I hope you'll stick around to see them.
My goal is to make 5 videos or so a year and for each of them to be special. For each of them to spark discussion and inspiration.
As for whether or not they blow up? I'll be content either way.
Thanks for all your support over the years.
