2024 has been the year of retirement for multiple YouTubers, many of whom have been on the platform for nearly a decade. The most recent creator to step away from the scene was MatPat, the creator of the Game Theorist channels.
MatPat’s sudden retirement shocked fans, but one comment during the video seemingly stuck with him and had him reflecting on his time on the platform.
“MatPat’s video made me realize that I’ve also been doing YouTube for a literal third of my life…” said Jacksepticeye on Twitter/X.
Multiple users feared the worst with this post, hoping that Jacksepticeye would not think of retiring in the near future. Popular YouTubers like MrBeast, Daily Dose, and Vikkstar123 also reflected on their time on the platform.
“Don’t you f*cking dare, man,” said Twitch streamer Tubbo, whose reply currently has over 18,000 likes in support of keeping him on the platform.
Jacksepticeye’s comments on MatPat leaving YouTube do not mean that he will be leaving the platform, but does have fans hoping for the best.
