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.

Update, January 19th: I've updated the title and thumbnail because it turns out a lot of people don't even get to the second sentence of the video before writing me off forever!
We all hope you're enjoying your break Tom
Enjoy your break
:)
enjoy ur break tom.
Rest in peace, Tom 😔✊
The GOAT. Get that break 🫡
2 goats right here
Two of my favorite creators crossing over like this isn't what I expected, but it does make sense in hindsight that Tom touched the lives of so many people through his content.
Yes connah
here he his with his people
Greatest Of All Toms'
Did Tom Scott just make me cry?!!
sure made me cry
yes... and somehow, i'm happy
The answer lies within you.
I did too
not just you!
An amazing ten years. I love what you have given to RUclips and wish you every single success for the next chapter! xxxx
Thanks Benjamin Button for all the good time go and enjoy your young age
Thank you Tom!! Have a good retirement
YOU HERE BRO?
Good to see you here, DailyDoseOfInternet!
I say so too, DDOI.
hello there
The dude himself. He hello there and everyone.
Being a subject of a Tom Scott video will forever be one of my proudest achievements.
Incredible 10 years of dedication to the craft of obscure oddities!
MUMBOOO
It was certainly an interesting 'crossover' to watch as a fan of both channels
Hi Mumbo! You have inspired me to start redstone
Thank you
i did not know this existed i must see it now lmao
which video?
It's only been 2 months, I miss you man.
Same dude
it feels like so long already, but I'm sure the next video will make it worth it
This man is a Legend. He dedicated ten years of his life to show and teach us things all around the globe, and that every week. I´m so thankful for his videos and the awesome content. Stay awesome Tom.
Hes dedicated his whole adult life to the sharing of knowledge to others now he can enjoy his teenage years and ultimately his birth in bliss
Congratulations Tom! This rest is well deserved.
My two favorite youtubers ❤
time for you to do what he did!
Hmm
It took me embarrassingly long to realize veritas means truth
He's a kid@@levyosa
An inspiration across industries. Thanks, Tom.
The mad man
His impact on the medium will have reverberations for a long long time to come
indsutries
Thanks, Steve.
Tech Jesus entered the server
You know it's been three months and I finally realized why 2024 isn't the same. I don't get a weekly email from Tom, I don't get a new piece of nerdy media from him. L
I didn't think I'd truly miss it but you know what? I really do. I hope you are well Tom and thanks for making the impact you did.
If you sign up to his newsletter you do get weekly emails. Not the same as videos but still something.
Sir, I doubt you will ever find this comment, but i have to at least try to say this.
Never doubt that you have made a difference in the world.
Over the past decade, your videos have been a regular source of wonder and comfort for more people than you could possibly imagine.
Thankyou , for everything youve done. It matters.
i have to second this, Tom’s videos have been always there no matter what is going on in life, they have always given a great learning experience when i’m curious or a great distraction when i’m sad.
Thank you Tom.
Dude, it's been 4 months... I just had the realization that Tom's not in my life anymore. It's weird to say, but I haven't re-watched a video since this one, I figured, I'll take the same break...but it's so weird to go on with life without Tom Scott feeding me weird facts from wild locations.
Thank you for everything Tom!
I grinned like an idiot when your feet lifted off the ground. Congratulations man.
My two favorite channels 🙂
So happy to see that my favorite creators and sources of education and entertainment are in the same sphere.
We all like getting SmarterEveryDay 😁
not the only one.
As did the rest of us
Sensational decade. ❤
A memorable one at that
Hey Gav and Dan!
An inspirational one at that
Fun fact: The person above me replied literally 1 second before me
❤
Slower please.
What makes me happy is seeing all my favorite youtubers leaving retirement comments.
I loved your content Tom
We grew up watching Tom and seeing him retire now is just a big wake up check. We're no longer the bright eyed kids we once were, we're adults with adult problems and the scene is changing to fit the next generation and its just sad to see. I’m glad he is getting a chance to walk away from it and live his own life but it still hurts knowing we no longer a kids.
you're gonna make me cry again. i miss being a kid
we may be adults with adult problems, but there's still a kid in us if we want to. don't become old and grumpy
He isn’t retiring, just slowing the pace of his videos and taking a well deserved break
He isn't retiring for god's sake 😭
you grew up watching the man but couldn't be bothered to listen to anything he said in this video eh?
We all learned so much from you, Tom. Thank you for ten incredible years!
Mythology videos was the best from yoi
Y
Ted talks are awful ❤
No way, TEDEd is here as well
Not often you see TEDEd commenting
Congratulations Tom. Thanks for all the help and advice over the years!
Would you look at that, I found a creator comment with no replies despite >1k likes. Good day to you too
@@MrRedstoner So you found something rare and destroyed it? How homo sapiens sapiens...
Stoked to see Grady is a fan of Tom as well. The two of you have inspired me to change career mid-life from teaching to engineering. Much respect from down in CC, TX.
So happy that I was shown your video on Tom's channel years ago!
@@kristopherlondon349Grady has an actual episode of Practical Engineering on Tom's channel. Search their names together
Bro Said „im quitting“ and entered creative mode, imagine you did that at an office job 😂

Thanks for all your amazing content over the years! Enjoy your vacation!
How you verified?

Well, you've cemented your place in RUclips history forever. Thanks, Tom, for everything.
A legend that will be remembered for years to come
Thank you Tom!

Obligatory "hey its chocolate rain man" reply
And we are live
True
And we are live
It feels weird to go this long without a new Tom Scott video
Dont be sad that its over, be happy that it happened. Years of knowledge that will live on this platform for others to enjoy for years. You earned it Scott
These “don’t be sad it’s over” comments are do cliche now. Like everyone says it at the point, it’s annoying.
There goes one of the very best to ever use this platform. Have a good holiday Tom, you've earnt it.
Real recognize real.
Absolutely.
Awh
Hey its nerdcubed!😮
1001000% agree with you Dan
Now THAT is an exit!
Enjoy your very well earned break mate and thank you for setting the bar high for what RUclips content can be for so long now.
Don't be getting any ideas, you.
he'll stay abroad if he knows whats good for him@@spicemaster3151
Chris can’t wait for new videos this year so don’t leave ❤
Upload the next Journey Across Japan already Chris! It's a great series so far.
Lmao if you are going to buy upvotes, make it a little less obvious. (For the record, the guy had 416 likes, and five comments praising him, 6 minutes after posting).
Edit: 1778 likes after 22 lmao.
I could not bring myself to watch this before today. Now I'm glad I waited. Thank you, Tom Scott, for being an absolute treasure. I hope to see you again soon. ❤
Thanks Tom, for all the years full of research, full of knowledge, full of wisdom and full of fun. All your fans, me included, will hold you dear. And no matter how you decide to go on with this channel or any other media you want to produce, you were and will still be a great teacher to so many of us and for further generations as well. As they say, "the internet does not forget" and you won't be forgotten as long as your educational milestone, your work of life, is online!
Thanks for being yourself and for not changing in being yourself, when THIS got as big as it got!
Thanks for everything Tom, you’ve kept me and millions of other entertained for years. ❤

Happy new year, nerdfighty people 😁
I hope that you do great, always.
Absolutely incredible 👏
Congrats to ten amazing years, Tom! You're the OG Creator's Creator.
"Bloody hell, that was cold" --Tom, 30 seconds after the last scene of this video.
Seeing all the other creators give Tom his flowers is a treat. He really is once-in-a-generation.
who the hell
Tom Helps me think like a scientist and you guys help me think like a lawyer. Thank you both!
Its the guy with the beagle team.
Legend.
Hi!
Tom was one of those guys that you felt like could do anything. Legend indeed.

The ending of a great one
Tom Scott Is a Legend
You know a sign off video is good when you can make even someone who really hasn't seen much of your content feel nostalgic about your content.
That being said, whether you do or don't return, the legacy that's been left is immortalized by the memories of many.
Dear Tom,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible work you do on your RUclips channel. Your videos have been a constant source of inspiration and fascination for me, and I am truly grateful for the time and effort you put into creating them.
Your dedication to explaining complex scientific concepts in an engaging and accessible manner is truly commendable. Thanks to your videos, I've been able to deepen my understanding of various subjects and develop a newfound appreciation for the world around me. Your ability to keep people curious and engaged is nothing short of remarkable.
Moreover, I want to thank you for introducing me to some of the most peculiar and fascinating places around the world. Your explorations have sparked my wanderlust and inspired me to seek out new adventures of my own.
In a world where it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, your videos serve as a reminder to pause, explore, and appreciate the wonders of our planet.
Thank you, Tom, for everything you do. Your contributions to science communication and education are invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful to have stumbled upon your channel.
I hope to have the opportunity to meet you in person someday. Until then, please know that your work continues to inspire and enrich the lives of countless individuals around the globe.
With sincere appreciation, Nuno, from Porto, Portugal
Enjoy yourself Tom you have more than earned it, very few people will ever understand the monumental achievement that doing a video a week for 10years is but we have all enjoyed watching the results. See you soon.

The best to ever do it.
Congrats on an incredible decade Tom.
Yes
Best way to end it too.
Don't read my Profile PICTURE
Your videos are always in my favorites as well!
🐐
You and your hoodie have cemented your place as one of the all-time greatest people on the entire Internet. Largely due to that exact attitude which kept you honest and earnest throughout such a tremendous rise in both reach and renown. Your name will forever be symbolic of one thing above all else, and that is *integrity*.
Thank you Tom for being part of my childhood and for making me who I am today. I’ve been watching you since I was 12 and it’s because of that that I decided to pursue media and content creation and your approach to it has been a guide for me all these years. I don’t know if you remember but I emailed you about a year ago asking to use one of your formats for a radio show and you kindly responded! I remember how it felt to have one of my role models speaking to me as a peer in the industry and it was one of the most validating experiences ever. I hope you know that a generation of content creators have you to thank. Cheers mate.
Love this Tom! Congrats on a decade of amazing work and dedication to following your curiosities and taking us along with you!

omg Zach king reply me please or I will not go to school please 😢

Cool
I like men
When other RUclipsrs stop videos it’s from scandals, burnout, building a “business”, etc.
Tom says “my idea worked, I have done a good job, and I reached my goal”, and ascends into the heavens. Perfection
Arrives
Uploads videos every single week without fail
Refuses to not elaborate
Literally ascends to the heavens when he's decided that he's done enough.
Absolute legend.
Literal Nirvana

@@AdamVollmerperfection
its not the youtuber, its the people reacting
Tom, I think what you did was the best thing.
Many people believe that going bigger and harder is the best way to go, but you’ve proven all that otherwise.
Growing up, I watched people chase numbers and money and followers and fame, along with other things…. But you… you chased thrill.
You allowed me and many others to experience an unhindered front row seat to the joys of life and there’s something about that which is invaluable.
From all of our hearts, thank you Tom for your commitment for the last 10 years - you’ve sacrificed a lot just to provide for us and we’re eternally grateful.
Good for you! What a guy, what an outlook and what a privilege its been to join you on this journey man!
Now with matpat leaving it’s like a double gut punch
And captainsparklez 😔
and stampy a while ago
And technoblade, forcibly...
Why are all of the good RUclipsrs disappearing?
@@superhappygamer1162 they are growing and so are we. these big youtubers, and the current ones (Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Pewdiepie, Coryxkenshin, Vanossgaming, ect) are growing. Eventually they hit the main goals with these vids (Money, Sucess) but there comes a point in time where they don’t need all that anymore. Now they do it for fun, but sometimes, they want to live freely, so they quit. because life is so much more then just sitting behind a screen or a camera, life is precious. so while we do what we loce, sometimes it js isnt the right thing. They want to live their lives with their families and friends. Its sad, but its the right thing to do.
Tom giving us the most iconic series finale video this platform has ever seen 🌟
Yes, but you still dominate that spicy ankle content!
Yes. That was really cool.
When you eventually semi-retire, will we get a Mary Poppins-esque send-off too? =D
@ I paid you the courtesy of visiting your channel to see what videos you have. I'm afraid to say that I for one do not find them appealing and your opportunist spamming of many comments here with the same diatribe, puts me off even considering viewing your videos. The 18.8k subscribers of your channel will disagree with me I'm sure, but you would do well to emulate Tom's professionalism and modesty if you wish to see your channel grow to the same level of this one. One comment from you thanking and wishing Tom well and offering your channel as an alternative for those who may be interested, would likely have gained you hundreds of subscribers. Sometimes being too eager and too flippant and a little bit rude has the opposite effect.
What a hoot to run into you here, Ms Banner. From one of your subscribers.
3 months without a Tom Scott video update. Just check myself in rehab every week that there’s not a Tom Scott video feels like an eternity.
I cried so much because this embodies everything; the adventure you went through; the mark you left. And a goal ao noble.
End of an era. Congrats Tom.
Now who's going to fill the void of impossibly obscure stories, told in a succinct short format?
No you dont
Rare earth is also a great channel just like this one.
@no you don’t you iPad kid
it’s only a matter of time somebody chooses to step in
can always watch good ol fact boi simon whistler
Thank YOU for allowing us to come along on this journey. One of the best to ever do it!

Wah wah waaaaaaahhh

Hey its the otamatone guy
thank for the video , i just look all since the beginning of my yt run.
I find myself coming back to this video again and again only to watch the Tom Scott montage. It gives me goosebumps, makes me laugh, makes me cry, but I can't stop watching it. Wish you an overwhelming success in whatever project you pick up next.
It's not often you get to see someone happily retire at the top of their game. No fall from grace, no big scandal, just doing what's right for you. Congratulations, and thanks for the memories.
It’s nice to see him take a break on his own terms
Reminds me of when Brackeys quit RUclips
@@ultrawall006that's bot comments.
Just get rid of it, if you want to.
It has been such a pleasure to watch you blossom from a man destroying his fingerprints with pineapple in 2009 to the titan of trustworthiness you have deservedly become. Your approach to quality, accuracy, accountability and accessibility has made RUclips a better place. Thank you for being a beacon of integrity, and a shining example of how to do this exactly right.
I am quite, quite sure the internet has not seen the last or the best of you yet.
Couldn’t have said it better myself, but you too are one of those channels of absolute quality and make the platform so much more enjoyable, cheers mate
... said the funniest man on the internet.
Right back at you Jay, ya both legends and produce the best content
Jay, MAKE A VIDEOOOOOO, WHY IS IT TALKING SO LONG
@🤓🫵
Wow! I only occasionally watched your videos but this one popped up and I must say it was beautifully done. You can see the joy you have had doing these activities over the years in the ending montage and you chose the perfect music and scenes to end on. Good luck with what you do next, Tom Scott!
Thank you Tom, for everything! ❤
What an absolutely epic and perfect way to end a channel.
You didn't peter out into obscurity, or collapse under a controversy, you were successful, happy with it, and walked off into the sunset on your own terms.
Phenomenal, well done!

He really left us. Flying off into the sunset. Attached to a helicopter. Thank you for the the past 10 years of videos, Tom. Middle school me, and now adult me are very grateful for the things we’ve learned from them over the years.
Thank you Milionaire Tom.
@@HaunuvaI hope he is. Watched him on University Challenge, watched him explaining his "day job" in IT, he would have been successful whatever he did, but his communication skills and "riz", as the kids call it, made him immensely popular on RUclips. He could have sold out and got a safe job on BBC or Channel Four but he stayed independent and that's hard work.
I'm envious, but not jealous. As I suspect you are. I don't have his talent or his capacity for sheer hard work. I envy that, but don't begrudge him his success, financially or otherwise
Thanks, millionaire Tom.

@@A_sentient_Rubiks_cube Actually not a bot, but a channel with 18.8k subscribers but unfortunately, with a very misguided and vulgar method of attempting to hijack Tom's sabbatical and poach subscribers.

Thanks for being our teacher for so many years.
Yes

Forget the sad part for just a moment, but genuinely how far did he walk for that 5 mins. It never ended and felt so long.
But again, thanks for the memories, only really recently started watching but still the vids have been top notch Tom Scott quality. So happy to see you enjoy a life you always wanted too. You will always stay in the books, however old those books become. 😢
Congrats on an epic 10 years legend!

Me watching this video like, who is this guy & why does he have so many grey hoodies? 👁👄👁
Me to bro mee to
Tom is the definition of good quality, nostalgic, youtube content that is what youtube is supposed to be. No "mrbeastification" style screaming, no overexaggeration, just high quality research and entertainment. It's a true pain losing you my friend.
He is just a big friendly nerd who is open to discover the world and what humans do in it! Just 100 himself. People cant hate this haha, this content is hateproof i think hahaha.
@@nathanvrvrt very true
We're not even losing him. He's still here. Just doing other stuff, possibly including this.
We're not losing him, and I assure you, there are many more people that have or will someday fill the world, whether here on RUclips or elsewhere, with more wonder and joy, just as Tom has.
I have watched almost everyone of your videos over the years thank you and congrats
I love the quality and friendly professionalism you bring to your videos!
I wish nothing but the best for you, Tom! Thank you for all you've done on the internet :D
Tom hanging from a helicopter, flying into the sunset with epic music is exactly the ending we needed to this story. I wish you all the best Tom, thank you for all these years!
its also fits perfectly as he mentioned earlier in the video he never got to do it.
In all fairness, it's not the ending, just a slowing. But this is the conical ending to the channel, regardless of how many videos he uploaded in the future.
I could not help but laugh, when die helicopter came into view :D
RUclips should give this man an award for his service on this website.

Thank you Tom!!! thank you, Dr Scott, it's been an absolute blast!!!
love from London!
What an incredible 10 years. It's taken me a month to be ready to watch this video. I'm going to miss (and already do) coming to this channel weekly to learn something new, interesting, and often delightfully odd. You have seen me through some of the hardest years of my life so far, bolstering my interest and curiosity about the world, and reminding me of the joy to be found in chasing down fascinating answers just for the sake of learning something new, and I am so deeply grateful. I am so proud of you for having stuck with your goal and for making it to this finish line! Congratulations Tom! It has been an utter joy to inhabit this corner of the internet with you. I look forward to checking out the other corners of the internet where you are making things. I wish you all the best, and I hope that the helicopter ride was everything you dreamed! Here's to you, and wherever your next chapter takes you!
We definitely chose the right guy to make famous this time. Tom, we all appreciate you.
This is exactly it. Can’t think of a better person to have put on that 10 year ride. What an excellent human. Good luck for the future whatever you chose.

'Ending the same way we started makes the audience think that there's a sensible, circular narrative that ties everything together, even if there isn't' - Tom Scott
Did he fly in on a helicopter 10 years ago? 😂
@@Stinggyray He didn't fly in on a helicopter, but there was a pegasus involved!
If I remember correctly this is from that weird music video video
Congratulations on a decade Tom! I have grown from a teen to an adult watching you feeding the curious kid inside us all. seems a bit melancholic now. Love your work.
Thank you for your service, you have done the job of hundreds of teachers. I cannot estimate the amount of peoples lives you have changed by making being intelligent and interesting about learning
We definitely chose the right guy to make famous this time. We all appreciate you, Tom.
And also a wrong guy.

he made himself famous, we were just there along for the ride
@@h1lw you gonna elaborate on that?
Your pfp and name is just 😬😬😬😬
Even though this video hasn’t even been up a day, I’m already 39,000 comments too late, which is itself a testament to how loved you are on RUclips. Thank you Tom for giving me a guest spot a few years ago, I really owe my whole RUclips career to you and I’ll forever be grateful. Congratulations on a mind bending achievement. Enjoy some well deserved rest, friend ❤
YOO MEDLIFE
Yep Tom was how I discovered you. You guys work well together too, the Operation video is an all-time favourite of mine.

Glad to see Rohin has the same feeling about watching this a little too late. It feels strange to feel that I missed something, since I'm watching the video all the same, but a finale like this is the kind of thing where it feels great to be here with so many other people.
Indeed, it was Tom's willingness to share the spotlight that led to many of us discovering new channels such as yours! Happy new year, Mr Doctor 😁
Thanks for the years of providing us a variety of information we didn't know Tom, have enjoyed watching your content for a good many years. Thank you for your dedication
