Charmx and Matthew Santoro. Charmx’s last videos “Stop” and “My last video” were the saddest things I’ve ever watched. He never uploaded anything for three years but he recently came back as Fresh Cut Slim, Matthew Santoro stopped abruptly for, like, two years before he came back with his mental health restored.
Honorable mention: Moo Snuckle. A member and the first friend VanossGaming made when both their channels started in 2011. He would always be the PG-13 member of the group but still played with his friends for fun. By 2016, he married the love of his life, and a year later, in 2017, he had a daughter who appeared in the background of some of his videos. He would reveal in 2022 that he was having a son who was born in June 2022. A few days ago, he announced he would quit RUclips full-time to be there more for his family, just like Mat Pat leaving for personal reasons. He said he would still join his friends when he gets a chance and has already managed to find a job to go full-time and come home to his family.
I've noticed a lot of people misunderstanding the MatPat "quitting" situation going on. Thank you for adding in the entry that he isn't fully quitting just moving out of the view of the camera and is still going to be working on ALL the theory channels behind the scenes. It's sad to know he wont be the one we see and hear each week but I'm happy he's not fully leaving, just stepping aside for more members of the team to step up and make their marks on the amazing world of Theory Videos.
to my knowledge, i believe marzia was the first youtuber to actually formally announce that she would be quitting and then did so permanently. before that, youtubers would just stop posting. i think she set a precedent that it was okay to know when to pack it up and actually just say goodbye to the people who supported and watched for years and i think that’s cool
@@Miss_Kisa94 sorry she wasn’t on this list, i commented about her because she was the first to do this new style of retiring that is seen a lot on the list which is to actually say goodbye to an audience. she was a popular youtuber from 2012 to 2018. pewdiepie’s wife if that rings a bell
@@purplebean8989 originally it was cutiepiemarzia but she eventually changed it to just ‘marzia’. she deleted all her videos but the channel itself is still there and she still has about 7m subscribers
Guys, how could you forget about THE original, Ryan Higa? He was number one for such a long time. His videos were amazing, from the first to the last. Man, I miss him so much. Tee Hee
Well actually his case is weird. He never left youtube or fully. He kind of swapped over to the side/daily channel and then left where last I heard he streams over on twitch now. From what I gathered, he basically said that making production videos was getting tough, plus everyone was kind of going there own way and its that decision that left the Higa channel to die. Even though he never said he quit.
MatPat will be a creator that I will greatly miss, even if he's not gone permanently. I've been following since the beginning and knowing he's stepping back feels like a slap to reality when you realize how old you are suddenly. He's the kind of person I would just get my arm around his shoulder and give him a fist bump because of how cool he was and how impressive his theories was worked on. The man will always be the face of the channel.
Honorable mention: Nigahiga he was one of my childhood RUclipsrs my favorite video was the April Fools one but then he said he got tired of making videos because he was in his 30’s and didn’t enjoy uploading like he used to ,his last video was uploaded in 2020 and no one knows why he stopped uploading 😢😢😢
The fact that MatPat is #6 made me cry again... He will forever be in my top 5 RUclipsrs. He's also just done SO much for this platform, he deserves #1 or maybe 2 under Jenna.
It's sad, but at some points we have to say goodbye to the legends that started it all. At least we can see them end things on their own terms and on a high note. Thank you OG's , you'll all be missed.
well actaly i have seen him post new youtube viedos still once in a qute a few moons. in fact he knida somehow just came back one day. i would know bescue i'm still subcribed. aslo he just came back just one day like that one darn cat that keept comeing back. well he just came back just a few mouths ago but hasent' goten back into the grove qute yet.
Mark Douglas shutting down 'The Key Of Awesome' was the biggest for me. Viewers turned on them when he left for a you tube tour and he decided then the site was turning toxic. Also I thought VP left because of health issues she was having at the time making it difficult for her. It's nice to see she's still around somewhere.
Honorable Mention: JoCat. A wholesome content creator who made funny videos about Dungeons & Dragons, FInal Fantasy, and general RPG Videogames. A kind and gentle soul who's probably best knonw for his "JoCrap" character on his "Crap Guide for X" videos. He announced very late in 2023 that due to a near non-stop harrassment campaign by some truly soulless people, he was ending his time as a content creator. Just a few days ago, he posted his final video.
Honorable mention:1989gamemaster, an animator who made skits with characters like Mario or sonic, he was very popular in the early 2010s but ended his channel in 2013 because he had problems with google plus. I’ll always remember him i hope one day he returns 😢🙏
First matpat ruind my view of my childhood shows and movies, and now he's making me cry by quiting, i just want him to know that if i do meet him, i wanna hug him. Comment if you want to hug him too😊
I’ve never heard of almost all of these RUclipsrs. It stinks that the Power Rangers fandom lost a couple RUclipsrs about right as I was joining the platform. MoroboshiA being one of my favorites. Now, luckily, MMPRtoys is still going.
Jenna marbles and Fred were my childhood/teenage years. May cermet, marbles, and peach live on in our hearts forever! Julien is still on RUclips and twitch so the j&j legacy is continuing.
I think this wasn't doing Leafy enough justice by saying his problems was "beef" and "transphobia" considering all the good he did despite how raunch he was. He practically pioneered the commentary genre, and gave news/info about what's happening without fear of consequences. If not for him many would never find out the horrid stuff people let fly by. The Na** girl doing satanic stuff for example, or how he accurately warned people of where youtube was headed while being called a "conspiracy theorist" back in 2015. Then there's how he informed and defended other youtubers of the crap they got thrown into like GradeAunderA. But as stated, he said what he thought without fear of what others would think back. That's how humanity should be after all. He was a legend of youtube, liked or not
Leafy is not that big of a deal, ever since he was featured on Content Cop, his content was devalued to crap. He's a fifth rate a-hole almost equal that of Onision.
Yes you guys forgot about coryxKenshin who been off for six months because he believes RUclips is unfair reporting his videos after people like Markiplier and jacksepticeye do the same thing. Then there is Cassie gloom who a year ago left RUclips due medical reasons but she has been uploading on her Instagram. Matthew Patrick, Cory and Gloom will never be forgotten about me.
Honorable Mention: JoCat. I love his Dungeons and Dragons videos and his Final Fantasy XIV videos helped me play better. RUclips will be a sadder place without such a wholesome creator
I'm surprised Hot For Words wasn't included. That channel went mainstream thanks to Marina Orlova's charm & sense of humor. What happened to her was pretty sad.
Definitely, Brian Barczyk is on my list of top youtubers who quits. I know it's recent, and he only has 5.25M subscribers compared to those on the list, but that video 'this is goodbye...' made me tear up so much. The fact that he knows he's never coming back is heartbreaking. 😢😭
Honorable Mention : Octopus Stretch. That was a channel that talked about NJPW wrestling and it's history. NJPW couldn't stop striking OS channel. So he quit. He was so talented and made great NJPW videos. Top 5 and Top 8 countdowns as well. His last video is talking to some guy about his favorite matches 2 years ago. Nothing close to his original material. Octopus Stretch!!!!
I do admire creators who left their channels for health reasons or they can't continue with the quality they feel their audience deserves. Too many ignore these warnings and it's an ugly decline.
A follow up needs to be made and include Ryan Higa (nigahiga), Adam Montoya (seananners), Charlie McDonnell (charlieissocoollike) and Marzia Kjellberg (marzia) because I suspected them here 😢
Thank you for mentioning these creators especially Seananners I feel not a lot of people mention him leaving near as much considering he made basically the same decision MatPat and Moo are doing way before they did
Tom Scott will be missed in this house. However, he did say there would be more Technical Difficulties episodes, so we’ll make do with those. Happy to say that I’ve never heard of any of the others, so I won’t miss them.
I don't belive they will gone forever since Angry Video Game Nerd, The Irate Gamer, Happy Video Game Nerd, The Gaming Historian, Furmieda and many more came back but not always under the same name. Forexpull Furmieda is now called Straight From The Muzzle and Happy Video Game Nerd is now called Stop Skeletons From Fighting.
This video singlehandedly did two things: 1) make me feel hella old realizing the platform has been around since the early 2000s, and 2) make me feel super out of touch with RUclips culture and like an old fart in my late 30s since I have never seen or heard of any of these guys on RUclips over the years.
@@jimbo9208he’s not, i think he said that he still wants to work and let others host, plus he also mentioned projects that he wants to do, so I don’t think that he’s gone, plus he enjoyed the channel, I think he’ll be there just not doing the same workload like he was doing when he was hosting it if you know what I mean
But some narrators will never be the same. My favorite Watchmojo narrators are Rebecca, Phoebe, Ryan, Ricky/Ricardo, Callum, Tom, Patrick, Andrew, Kirsten, and Samantha. Their voices are enough to immerse me into the video. Those are the ones I care about at all..
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Laina had quit too about 4 years ago.. but she came back briefly in 2022 to celebrate the 10 year anniversary. 🤣
Attention to all who are watching here! All those RUclipsrs have retired because they’ve now realised this: As they always say, “All good things must come to an end”. Even my daughter Isabella used the phrase to actually mean that nothing lasts forever.
But he deserves to retire after 13 years and be allowed a more stable life with his family. If he wishes to leave, let him, no need milking that cow drier than the desert. Meanwhile, our love will be there..
No one really payed attention to them and now when there are quitting everyone started paying attention as if they didint care, I really hope they stay
Yes... Lore king of a series made by a Christian Dominionist who wants gays, blacks, jews, trannies, Muslims, Catholics etc killed... Yep great series! 🎉
well i think there are a few i feel like there should be some honorable mentions (in no particular) : - Meekakitty (Tessa Violet) - Ogla Kay - DailyGrace (Grace Helbig, she still vlogs on another channel, also hope she recovers well!) - LewToons - Kristina Horner im sure there are more im forgetting as i have been on here since day 1. but i really miss their videos :)
It’s hard for me to watch all these guys leave, the guys I’ve grown up watching, the guys I’ve grown up laughing, the guys I grew up with, and the guys I watched go beyond fame and popularity, RUclips will never be the same
Of all of these creators Jenna is the only one I still consistently miss. I know she is happier away from the cancel culture of the internet but keeping up with Julien just makes me want her to return that much more!
I maybe overthinking the title, but I really you’d reword that. Because while it’s technically true. It gives me a feeling of someone quitting something instead of just moving on to something else in their life.
There's a lot of channels I use to follow that have quited now,such as MaxMofoe,Sandy Ravage,MadSeasonShow, Misty Chronexia,Bart Baker,Mid Or Meepo,TryMike4Instance(somewhat alive but not what he once was). Also PewDiePie could be counted here,since he retired. And ofc,thank you for putting Papa Franku here,he will forever be the star of golden age of YT
I like the list, but respectfully? I thought MatPat would be number 1. And I was also waiting for Moo Snuckel to be on the list too since he's the first member of the VanossCrew to leave.
Where is moosenuckle!!!??? Goes by moo, he was really funny and his worrieness of his friends going far with jokes was gold!!!! The Vanoss crew lost a great part of their team, "and as always I hope your enjoyed" 😊
Jenna Marbles should be #1 on this list, everyone misses her! But those of us that follow Julien on his youtube and twitch channel will know that he and Jenna are doing just fine, they're now married and they are still fostering dogs. I don't even know #1 on this list and you forgot about Prank Vs. Prank, they are no longer doing videos since their break-up so many years ago.
Kid Danger: *wearing his big trucker pup outfit wearing his purple scarf on his neck* Thank Princess Luna! That paw patrol hater is leaving RUclips. Hated that RUclipsr.
Oh man. There's so many that I remember growing up to on youtube over the years... People like Shane Dawson, WhatTheBuckShow, Nigahiga, Charles Trippy (CTFxC), Pewdiepie, Tobuscus, Roswell73, RWJ, and even people in gaming categories like PhantomL0rd, Chuggaaconroy and NintendoCapriSun. A lot of these people will go down in history as some of my favorites and I'm glad I got the opportunity to watch and engage with their content over time. Absolute legends.
Jenna marbles is without a doubt the hardest to see leave as she was such an amazing content creator. I know there were some problems with her old content but she has shown how much she changed over the years and that it wasn’t acceptable yet people still wanted to see her burn even though she was one of the platforms greatest and most wholesome creators.
OG, greatest in history, was #1 for a long time. She had said sorry for that content like a decade before she was cancelled. The sad part is, the kids who cancelled her, weren't even alive when that sort of awful humor was popularized. But she's happy and living her best life, so I am happy for her. I miss her so much.
19 of these I have NEVER hear of. and yet there are still a good 20 or more I DO know who have also quit. Its hard to start again once you stop and hard to keep up with the demand and pace and comments and requests. Easy to become a target once you're real big too.
A lot of creators have been leaving and we feel the audience wants to be aware of the changing landscape and loss of their favorites. No? @@ShrekTheGod0
I think the distinction between Quitting and Retiring needs to be made clear here. Retiring after a long and successful career for no reason other than you wanna move on is very different from quitting because of lack of money/not being able to continue with the same scope, some controversy and a massive loss of subscribers, negative comments and not being able to win their audience back
You know you helped a whole lot with the distinction 😍. Also, good point, what's kicking Watchmojo the wrong way? Don't they know what retirement is? We need to not milk the cow dry, our man MatPat deserves retirement after so long..🥹
AlphaOmegaSin is a super good video game rant/hype channel, the guy has gone on many 2-5 year hiatuses and only makes a video when there is a new game he's super hyped for like when FF7 Remake was 1st announced.

Right
True, just wanted to comment it, even tho he was not "big" as those other channels, atleast could have been an honoruable mention
Weird that Mat Pat Doesn't mention the actual first to leave his channel to others : RAY WILLIAM JOHNSON, =3 / equals 3
moo was a great guy and i hope he does well in his life, he will be missed
I was hoping for moo being on the list 😢
MatPat will certainly go down in RUclips history
The gayest metrosexual RUclipsr of all time
Right
bro shut up he has more viewers subs likes fans than you .@ASirensFlame
@ASirensFlame😂😂😂
I've never heard of him until today 🙄

My gf subscribes to GameTheory and Matlab is still on camera all the damn time. I'm sure hebjust said he was retiring just to get views.
Matpat will always be remembered😢😢😢😢😢
He still has other channels

Tbh he should have left years ago. Him and that beard
@@jetman80pops question is he still going to use them?
RIP 🙏

to my knowledge, i believe marzia was the first youtuber to actually formally announce that she would be quitting and then did so permanently. before that, youtubers would just stop posting. i think she set a precedent that it was okay to know when to pack it up and actually just say goodbye to the people who supported and watched for years and i think that’s cool

Man, I miss him so much. Tee Hee
EXACTLY LIKE THATS WHAT IM SAYING 😂😂😂
Only O.G knew about Higa!😮
Was shocked he didn't make this list,
Well actually his case is weird. He never left youtube or fully. He kind of swapped over to the side/daily channel and then left where last I heard he streams over on twitch now. From what I gathered, he basically said that making production videos was getting tough, plus everyone was kind of going there own way and its that decision that left the Higa channel to die.

Was looking for this comment lol
MatPat will be a creator that I will greatly miss, even if he's not gone permanently. I've been following since the beginning and knowing he's stepping back feels like a slap to reality when you realize how old you are suddenly. He's the kind of person I would just get my arm around his shoulder and give him a fist bump because of how cool he was and how impressive his theories was worked on.

These RUclipsrs are gone but not forgotten.
totally
Agree
Jamesmoss3424 right
I feel bad for not recognizing most of them
They will live on. In the hearts of children, they will live on

The fact that MatPat is #6 made me cry again... He will forever be in my top 5 RUclipsrs. He's also just done SO much for this platform, he deserves #1 or maybe 2 under Jenna.
Goodbye, MatPat. Btw, always wonderful to hear Rebecca's voice! Why couldn't she be the only narrator voice for WM?
Poor Rebecca, that would lead to burn out!
@@WatchMojo YEAH
@@WatchMojo why for her
@@WatchMojoI don’t get the dislike some people have for some of the other narrators.
Did she leave the WM channel?

It's sad, but at some points we have to say goodbye to the legends that started it all. At least we can see them end things on their own terms and on a high note. Thank you OG's , you'll all be missed.
It's sad but now we have opened a gateway to new entertainment, new information,new generations
Tobuscus is probably my favourite RUclipsr that left the platform. So many childhood memories. So sad he had those cases against him
I don't recall there ever being any criminal cases against him. I just remembered it as a "she said he said" kind of thing.
well actaly i have seen him post new youtube viedos still once in a qute a few moons. in fact he knida somehow just came back one day. i would know bescue i'm still subcribed. aslo he just came back just one day like that one darn cat that keept comeing back. well he just came back just a few mouths ago but hasent' goten back into the grove qute yet.

Meh. Both made quality content.

I wish Jenna would come back. She was genuinely repentant in her apology....unlike most apologizing Yoitubers...and is so missed.
The two RUclips retirements that hurt me the most were ReactsByNight and AnimeBroMii. They made some of the best videos that made me smile! 😢💔
MatPat will be remembered by many.
Hope these creators get a well deserved rest. Thank you all for your services!
Joji/Filthy Frank being 20 was the make the fans smile remembering all the good times before the video gets more serious. Smart move Watch Mojo

But some narrators will never be the same. My favorite Watchmojo narrators are Rebecca, Phoebe, Ryan, Ricky/Ricardo, Callum, Tom, Patrick, Andrew, Kirsten, and Samantha. Their voices are enough to immerse me into the video. Those are the ones I care about at all..
I can never forgive nickelodeon for ruining Fred's career.
Jenna Marblesleaving RUclips crushed me. I loved her and Julian and their dogs.
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Laina had quit too about 4 years ago.. but she came back briefly in 2022 to celebrate the 10 year anniversary. 🤣
Mojo failed to mention MatPat is leaving behind not one but four successful channels: game, film, fashion and food theorists.
Oh man! OG RUclips will never be topped!
Team edge should have been on this list
Attention to all who are watching here! All those RUclipsrs have retired because they’ve now realised this: As they always say, “All good things must come to an end”. Even my daughter Isabella used the phrase to actually mean that nothing lasts forever.
matpat in the thumbnail 🥲
MatPat will definitely be missed, good thing he will still be around behind the camera.
To make it clear, MatPat didn’t leave entirely from RUclips. He just left Game Theory.
But he deserves to retire after 13 years and be allowed a more stable life with his family. If he wishes to leave, let him, no need milking that cow drier than the desert. Meanwhile, our love will be there..
Food and Style Theory look like insanely fun channels that his entire family can be a part of. Glad he’ll still be around.
He will still be around (specifically on his GT Live livestream channel alongside his wife Stephanie)
Very true
No one really payed attention to them and now when there are quitting everyone started paying attention as if they didint care, I really hope they stay
Love you matpat. We will never forget you. Our FNAF Lore King 🤴 ❤
Yes...
Lore king of a series made by a Christian Dominionist who wants gays, blacks, jews, trannies, Muslims, Catholics etc killed... Yep great series! 🎉
well i think there are a few i feel like there should be some honorable mentions (in no particular) :
- Meekakitty (Tessa Violet)
- Ogla Kay
- DailyGrace (Grace Helbig, she still vlogs on another channel, also hope she recovers well!)
- LewToons
- Kristina Horner
im sure there are more im forgetting as i have been on here since day 1. but i really miss their videos :)
Where's Moo Snuckle!??! 😭😭😭😭😭
Wait MOO ISNT IN THIS VIDEO!
@@TheRealWungleBungle he isn't! 😭
I honestly was expecting Coryxkenshin to be on this list. Weirdly glad that he's not though lol
I still watch Mike Mozart's videos from time to time. Loved his reviews.
Today's fact: RUclips was founded by three PayPal employees on February 2005 and was later bought by Google on November 2006 for $1.65 billion.
The youtuber I miss the most is Gloom, I hope she comes back one day.
100 percent facts!!! Gloom was great!!❤❤
Matpat will always be my favourite theorytuber? Even if he is not dead he will remain in my memory’s shining like gold
Top Ten Most Nostalgic RUclips Videos
MatPat was a huge influence to me when I started my RUclips channel. I'm going to miss him.
Man I miss stampy and captain sparkles. But matpat left a huge dent in my heart when he said he’s going to retire soon.😢
Stampy isn't retired. It's just his Xbox 360 world that's retired.
I got to get this, Tom Scott guy credit for uploading 3650 days of stuff. Whether it was consistently or inconsistently.
definitely Ryan Higa. That dude made my childhood awesome!
It’s hard for me to watch all these guys leave, the guys I’ve grown up watching, the guys I’ve grown up laughing, the guys I grew up with, and the guys I watched go beyond fame and popularity, RUclips will never be the same
Of all of these creators Jenna is the only one I still consistently miss. I know she is happier away from the cancel culture of the internet but keeping up with Julien just makes me want her to return that much more!
You could make a top 20 RUclipsrs who quit in 2024 already. Some seriously good talent left in the last 2 weeks alone
I maybe overthinking the title, but I really you’d reword that.
Because while it’s technically true. It gives me a feeling of someone quitting something instead of just moving on to something else in their life.
captainsparkelzs stampy DanTDM I am quite surprised they didn’t get mentioned here
There's a lot of channels I use to follow that have quited now,such as MaxMofoe,Sandy Ravage,MadSeasonShow, Misty Chronexia,Bart Baker,Mid Or Meepo,TryMike4Instance(somewhat alive but not what he once was). Also PewDiePie could be counted here,since he retired. And ofc,thank you for putting Papa Franku here,he will forever be the star of golden age of YT
I like the list, but respectfully? I thought MatPat would be number 1. And I was also waiting for Moo Snuckel to be on the list too since he's the first member of the VanossCrew to leave.
Fred…I’ll never forget him.
I also will never forget when his actor said on iCarly ‘I’m not gonna stop making up Fred videos.’ And then he did stop.
Thanks mojo this is the first time I've known these youtuber who quits youtube.
Where is moosenuckle!!!??? Goes by moo, he was really funny and his worrieness of his friends going far with jokes was gold!!!! The Vanoss crew lost a great part of their team, "and as always I hope your enjoyed" 😊
Jenna Marbles should be #1 on this list, everyone misses her! But those of us that follow Julien on his youtube and twitch channel will know that he and Jenna are doing just fine, they're now married and they are still fostering dogs. I don't even know #1 on this list and you forgot about Prank Vs. Prank, they are no longer doing videos since their break-up so many years ago.
Kid Danger: *wearing his big trucker pup outfit wearing his purple scarf on his neck* Thank Princess Luna! That paw patrol hater is leaving RUclips. Hated that RUclipsr.
Oh man. There's so many that I remember growing up to on youtube over the years... People like Shane Dawson, WhatTheBuckShow, Nigahiga, Charles Trippy (CTFxC), Pewdiepie, Tobuscus, Roswell73, RWJ, and even people in gaming categories like PhantomL0rd, Chuggaaconroy and NintendoCapriSun.
A lot of these people will go down in history as some of my favorites and I'm glad I got the opportunity to watch and engage with their content over time.
Absolute legends.
Jenna marbles is without a doubt the hardest to see leave as she was such an amazing content creator. I know there were some problems with her old content but she has shown how much she changed over the years and that it wasn’t acceptable yet people still wanted to see her burn even though she was one of the platforms greatest and most wholesome creators.
OG, greatest in history, was #1 for a long time. She had said sorry for that content like a decade before she was cancelled. The sad part is, the kids who cancelled her, weren't even alive when that sort of awful humor was popularized. But she's happy and living her best life, so I am happy for her. I miss her so much.
I don't know these guys. Glad they were so successful. They turned to other things,life moves on. It's nice. Cool video
19 of these I have NEVER hear of. and yet there are still a good 20 or more I DO know who have also quit.
Its hard to start again once you stop and hard to keep up with the demand and pace and comments and requests. Easy to become a target once you're real big too.
6:16 that part of the song is iconic
I think its a bit sad to capitalize on matpat leaving
This video would never have came out if matpat never left
A lot of creators have been leaving and we feel the audience wants to be aware of the changing landscape and loss of their favorites. No? @@ShrekTheGod0
@@WatchMojothanks For this Guys! Matpat is a legend
I’m shocked and appalled that Stampy ain’t on here. After all he’s done for us? Raised us? On a single mention of his name. Disgraced.
I think the distinction between Quitting and Retiring needs to be made clear here. Retiring after a long and successful career for no reason other than you wanna move on is very different from quitting because of lack of money/not being able to continue with the same scope, some controversy and a massive loss of subscribers, negative comments and not being able to win their audience back
You know you helped a whole lot with the distinction 😍. Also, good point, what's kicking Watchmojo the wrong way? Don't they know what retirement is? We need to not milk the cow dry, our man MatPat deserves retirement after so long..🥹
AlphaOmegaSin is a super good video game rant/hype channel, the guy has gone on many 2-5 year hiatuses and only makes a video when there is a new game he's super hyped for like when FF7 Remake was 1st announced.
