Anyone else dreading the January 1st? Tom will be taking a pause from posting his weekly videos after 10 year non-stop streak. I’m really gonna miss those informative videos.

    He completely deserves it. Between his first channel, Technical Difficulties (Citation Needed / One of those people are lying), the Plus Channel, Lateral… he has done a LOT of things. I’m sad , but also I can’t wait to see what will he do before the pause.

    I suspect my RSS feed will be oddly empty at jan 1st.

    Oh well, back to watching citation needed

      Jokes aside, it’s a bit of a shame, but it’s not like he’s gone forever, he’s just taking a (very well deserved) break. And if i may speak for most if not all of us, we’ll be waiting for his return!

        Yeah, it’ll be odd not having weekly Tom Scott anymore. But after 10 years of weekly videos, few could be more deserving of a break. I wonder how long it will be

        (Also, welcome to you and Briko! I’ve haven’t even finished the sidebar or done anything to promote it yet, I assume you must’ve come in from the Local New feed?)

          Actually saw this in the “trending communities” section (For some reason lol)

          (Don’t think it had an icon even)

            Same here and I joined right up! Interesting that its trending with only 2 posts, though!

            Ah whaddya know this is already a trending community. I guess that’s the benefit of being on a smaller instance!

              The algorithm for Trending communities is weird, possibly broken. It puts all newly created communities there and since the instance is smaller, they don’t get created every few hours, so it can stay there for a bit.

    I hope the break can help him find himself a bit and that he will return in time.

    Sometimes a guy just needs to get away from the routine, the stress, and the grind. Stay away too long and then you start to miss doing it. I feel like Tom is the kinda guy who cant sit still. Hes got the urge to create and teach.
