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.

  1. Good on you man, im not familiar with a lot of your content, in fact i just subscribed on this video, but i have seen some stuff, which i genuinely enjoyed, like the irving finkel videos and so many others. Enjoy your break.

  2. Thanks Scott for everything,

    For the video that knows how many views it haves, for the garlic in space and for the breakfast fortified with iron.

    Well miss you.

  3. I watched 1 video of you before this, but I know who you are, sir. The Comments of this video and the ending montage brought me to tears. I'm sure that you're the GOAT. Happy living.

  4. Hey Tom been a follower of yours since middle school, graduating college soon. I thank you for all your efforts and contributions to the world.
    If I may suggest, can you do a video series where you travel the world for vacation and just talk about random interesting things that you found in your journey. Would love to follow you in that journey.

  5. I mean, this is exactly what I see from every YouTuber that “quits”YouTube… the missing part is where they’re honest that they’ve made enough – $$money$$ – (keyword) now to do whatever they want and retire. Just say that.

    “I don’t know when or if I’ll be back, I’m sure I will, all my other projects will still be going on.” – Tom Scott, Nick Symmonds, etc.

  6. one day i wanna reach this high, and feel accomplished just like this with my own channel. it's been a good ride, but they all must end eventually.

  7. It has been a true pleasure to have been able to learn about such a wide range of fun-, often unexpected, some insane, some overly simple, but ALWAYS deeply interesting topics.

    The way you were able to present that knowledge in your content was in it's own unique way, top tier!

    Thank you very much for the effort all these years, it is-/always has been/and always will be truly appreciated!

  8. Thanks Scott for all of the content. You will be missed (for a short while I hope). I guess I'll have to get going on your backlog of content , there's so much of it! Good luck in whatever your doing next

  9. Thank you for all the great videos! I've thoroughly enjoyed watching loads of them over lunch, getting sustenance for my soul alongside my body. Have fun with the next experiments!

  10. Just thank you. I rarely comment on videos but you managed to keep me entertained and curious about stuff I usually do not care about.
