They are quiting..... because some people are fed up, that people are pointing finger on everybody to make profit instead of finding healthy solutions that help our society and community and inspire people in healthy way. we became a society of "pointing finger on everybody" because its profitable, but it doesn´t make the society happy and productive,
we are suposed to find solution to healthy lifestyle. not pointing finger on our neighbors, on certain group of people, on old people, or on young people, on vegetarian people, on broken people on healthy people we are supposed to feel empathy and find solutions It solves nothing, it just contributes to more and more problems and less and less happiness, less and less satisfaction. I am fed up that youtube constantly sends me videos where people trow trash on each other and analyze celebrities and nonsense. We all do it at some point, but some people do it so often that they dont realize how unhappy it makes them feel.
How to lose trust of an audience: 1. Make a video saying “I’m quitting youtube” 2. Put a sponsorship segment to the end 3. Make the next RUclips video in a few days You might be a great filmmaker, but you lost my trust for sure.
@@the_1drummajor yeah like, if you are going to quit then quit. @iamjake a RUclipsr who took no sponsors just went dark and quit. He didn’t post a video about it. He just quit. Which for his take of what he was doing (travel vlogs/overland) fits. Because it adds ambiguity. I feel like if you are going to post a dramatic exit then you aren’t actually quitting. It’s just like idk another strategy to the overall plan. I’m not knocking him for it. But like, you know don’t talk about it be about it.
Sounds more like retiring. I’d love to have been able to retire in my 30s or any time before I get into my 60s. Work/life balance is a luxury available to very few.
@@Jonr.mp4 Right, or if you do end up talking about, at least be a bit honest about it (like, "I'm leaving RUclips for a while, might come back, might not..." etc).
Cheers dude. Lots of “influencers” doing the unsustainable and *pushing* the unsustainable to others. Love to see when people do the opposite. I know I told you this in person as well, but I appreciate you for this.
If it is a year off, sounds more like that. A year off. I really like your content, but I never understood these quitting or taking a break videos. I hope you come back.
Probably the longest "im quitting" message ever lol, it been how many videos of him saying he is leaving? You deserve peace and that is okay, you are okay.
I haven't watched the video yet, but here is my pre-watch prediction " I've done this for a long time, but I'm looking for new challenges to push me creatively and help me grow as an artist. I've had so many great experiences that will stay with me forever, but it's time for a new stage"
Gonna miss you Matti! On to bigger and better things, Gods got his plan for you! Thanks for all of the awesome content over the years, I’ve learned a ton from you. 😁👍
I can’t figure out why anyone with a million+ subscribers and a couple hundred thousand views per video would ever walk away. 🤔 Working for yourself and making good money consistently. You won’t find a job like that. They have no idea what the real world or the regular world is like or they would just enjoy and be thankful of the thing they have created. By the way this isn’t a negative comment. I’m just explaining my perspective from a dumb blue collar welder’s point of view. I look forward to see how this works out for the next year. 😎👍🏻 Good luck!
Appreciate you Matti. Been following along since the early ‘17 Travel Feels days. Thanks for all the great times. I’m not in content creation anymore, but I’ll always appreciate it as one of the funnest seasons of my life, and you were a part of that. God bless brother!
I discovered you through Peter when I came back from Europe in 2017. It's crazy to think that was SEVEN years ago (feels like 3). It's been a really fun ride. Looking forward to seeing what's next.
I can't imagine the channel makes like, CRAZY money, so its a fair thing to move onto something more fulfilling. It'll never make sense to me that RUclipsrs 'quit' RUclips... they can just post less, or even never, but 'quitting' the thing that you spent years building, when you don't have to post anyway, just seems like its saying 'quit' for the sake of saying quit....the action thats required to quit, is simply inaction, which makes taking the action of quitting, seem very strange. If it was resigning from a network or contract to make videos, then quitting makes perfect sense...otherwise it seems nonsensical (to me; I'm open to being totally wrong).
this is my 'new' account. I've been making videos on RUclips since 2006 and have made 1500 videos. I'm just getting started, even though I'm over 50 years old. you're never too old to start over. See you in a year Matti :)
Here’s to giving the finger to Hustle Culture! Cheers Matti, wishing you all the best with the new journey and most of all, more quality time with your family 🙌🏻
I'm gonna miss you man. You were there when I first started this journey of self-expression through photography and videography, and I owe you a lot. You, Pete, Chris and the rest of the gang have been such a direct inspiration for me and I can't thank you enough. I hope to see you elsewhere on the interwebs eventually, but even if I don't I wish you all the best. Godspeed, Matti.
Wow, lotta RUclipsrs quitting to start off the New Year. Sad to see, but hey, out with the old and in with the new and all that. Godspeed, Matti. You've helped a lot of people improve their photography and videography and you've much to be proud of. Your content will be missed, but we are very thankful for what you've given us.
As someone who just quit Instagram after 12 years of hauling my photography work, much respect and kudos to you for the decision. You'll shine wherever you land, amigo, and I look forward to seeing your work regardless of where it is. Cheers.
I quit instagram & Facebook 2 years ago and honestly it has been one of the best things for my photography and my creativity, I started shooting differently and found the fun in photography again! I started developing my own style back because I was influenced less by trending topics and trending photographers.
I think you will come back when you determine how to do it on your terms, all of them. Being driven by others is exhausting. Consider how movie directors often take years off.
Dear Matti, you’ve been an instrumental part of my love for filmmaking. Discovered you in 2020 and I’ve been impacted by all you’ve shared. Cheers to this new chapter you’re embarking on, it will turn out good.
We only get one ride on this rock! One thing we never say on our death beds is I wish I worked more. I am so proud of you for making this decision. Welcome to true freedom! ❤
They all do it... The low key thumbnail... And I'm quitting.. I think the yt money has just slowed up and it's time to leave on their own terms.. So many are doing it and claiming the same reason... The niche is over saturated for what they do.
End of an Era for sure. RUclips will never be the same. I have noticed in the last 3 to 4 years. Most of my favorite RUclipsrs like Matti and Pete, just seem to be done. They love YT and what it's done for their Careers, but you can tell, they're ready to move on to the next chapter. Good Luck Matti!
Must feel so good to have actually tried something, put in the hard work and succeed (lot of luck as well), ensure financial safety and taking the bold decision to quit. Must feel good to look back and see what they have achieved. Bravo to these guys.
Matti, I've learned a lot on this channel that helped improved my videos & photography. It's a shame to see you leave, as a fan and a person in this field, I dont understand why. Millions of people want to be in your shoes & you spent so much time and effort into building this channel of over 1mil+ subs. I wouldn't say you should quit, just take a break/go on vacation/ hire some assistance to take off hours of the work. I will say though, these "quitting video titles" will hurt the channel. People will really think you left even by just not watching the video and may unsubscribe. Which in turn will hurt future vids. Anyway I hope for the best Matt!
Matti! The "Cody Blue" (now "Cody and Victoria" ) channel never would have started if it weren't for a little shout out from you 6 years ago. It's been a ride since then and we're wishing you the best in your future. We'll all have to make this decision at some point...
This is a solid moment in RUclips history bro, You're one of the few RUclipsrs who's "retiring" from RUclips and that's important for all aspiring creators to know to figure out what's important to them while we're making videos. Hope you find what you're looking for bro and really appreciate all that you've invested in all of us.
That terror of not living life is EXACTLY how I feel as a creator. It's so easy for this to become too much of your life and people don't get it. Thank you for sharing this.
I feel like a new RUclips Orphan. So many good people leaving, I feel a bit lost. The little nuggets of wisdom, of fun, of inspiration that you brought, the much needed respite from our regular lives. Thank you so much, Matti. Wishing you all the best.
You'll be missed dude. An original, and quietly authentic voice amid the maelstrom of shouty voices that is RUclips. I'm fairly new to DSLR film making but after watching your channel a few years ago I bought a 1DX mk ii and a Glidecam and embarked on the journey of steadily building my film making chops. Your straightforward and no BS advice has been my roadmap and your honest and frank discussions about film making and the life of a film maker have been hugely enjoyable to watch. bon chance my friend and thanks for all you've shared.
Thanks for seven years of sharing knowledge and taking us on all your adventures. You impacted our lives in so many ways. You will be missed but a new journey awaits! Good luck Matti.
Will miss the videos but can relate to your decision. Good luck, hope you have a good time with your family and I’m looking forward for more videos hopefully in a year 😉
I have learned a lot over the years, from creators like you, your brother, Peter, Chris...each of you leaves a mark on me. I have made a living from creating audiovisual content for years, but I have never dared to get in front of a camera. So you already showed that you could...and in what way! So if you now consider other challenges, at least let us know from time to time how you are doing. Here we will be waiting 😉
I kinda lost interest in photography and videography which i used to love. But ive always enjoyed your videos. Hope you will occasionally share some candid clips (not overproduced) of whatever you decide to do next. I think youtube is like the mafia, you can't really leave, you can only change roles. So we will see you in a different role next time but we will still see you. You done good. You made good friends and you made some money too. Life is good. Congratulations on that. Not everyone can achieve this simple thing but your hard work paid off.
Been following you since you were Travel Feels and making vids w/ Peter and Chris. Your excellent video reviews on camera gear is what brought me here, but your great personality and attitude tied with your outstanding camera work, editing, and teaching is why I stayed. I will miss your videos, but I'm happy for you moving onto the next chapter in life. Thank you Matti, for everything.
I’m STOKED for you Matti. Although many of us now or in the past didn’t understand your decision, including me, I don’t think you’ll regret it one bit. Enjoy the time with your beautiful family and friends. If you want to travel with friends and money gets tight, don’t feel bad coming back early and dropping a branded video on us. We like supporting you, thanks for all you’ve given and shared with us.
Gonna Miss Matti. Can't wait for the other videos. February: How I quit RUclips March: Why you should Quit RUclips April: Gotcha Guys...I didn't quit RUclips lol...Naw for real though. You and Peter really got me into the filmmaking/photography space.
2021: I'm quitting RUclips. 2022: I'm quitting RUclips. 2023: I'm quitting RUclips at the end of 2023. 2024: Seriously, guys. I'm quitting RUclips, but here is another video and I have a few more on the way in 2024. It seems like you're just trying to create some clickbait videos at this point.
You are wonderful and I will miss the channel, but I will stay subscribed and most importantly, I’m so happy for your new chapter in life. Have fun and find that creative fulfillment ❤️ 🎥 🎞️
Last night in went to bed with mass anxiety realizing I spend 7 long days a week on my channel and almost never stop. Thanks for the years of inspiration and for this reminder. And the LUTS. 😊 All the best on your new adventures Matti. (Why am I crying?).
Appreciate your honesty and content. Best decision imho. Kids are only young once and that time with your family can never be replaced or rewound. Miss ya man!
Miss you Matti. Would love to see a video like once a quarter or a little update 😊 you are one of the people that got me away from my terrible warehouse job and into film and editing
Dang man. I gotta say I appreciate you being on this space and this is like a wake up call really and reminder not to take any thing for granted and to make use of the time and space we exist in and to go for our dreams. Bro I appreciate you and I wanna wish you all the best in what ever you take on next and I know what it is when burn out comes or that time comes for a change. All the best to you tour family and your friend and if you ever share the next venture with use I’ll be sure to wanna be apart of that.
Taking a break is always good, it helps to reset and recharge your batteries so to speak. Thank you for all your videos! I myself have been doing RUclips for 12 years now and I try my best to go easy on myself so as not to burn out.

The classic marketing strategy since the skies were created... instead of saying "I want a 2-years break because I'm exhausted" let's say "Goodbye forever, you will never see me again, I'm disappearing from earth" just because it adds a lot of drama, makes fuzz and sounds more interesting. After 1 or 2 years... "hey I'm making the greatest comeback ever!!! it's more of me but 10,000 better!!!" etc... etc... etc...
its fun to see you guys are all quitting for the exact reason i didnt even think about starting youtube 10 years ago. to connect your craft with your face means your face always has to be there. You need mental disorder to deal with that your whole life ;-)
This makes me happy. It makes me happy to see my online mentors doing cool stuff and living life. I have learned a ton from Chris and Matti over the last 7 years of RUclips. Thank you.
Cap. Once a RUclipsr always a RUclipsr. U will upload every now and again. At least thats what im doing. I wish i could have yur help making a vlog 1 time
Best wishes on wherever the next path you decide to follow is. Thank you for sharing your craft and for taking all of us along with you to some very beautiful places.
Dude, do it! Maybe see you out there, now that you have gone rogue! 🔥 Thank you for everything you have put out there over the years, truly. 🙏🏻 Enjoy the balance!
Thank you Matti, I haven't commented (or even watched much, but that's because I don't really watch RUclips anymore) on your videos since like 3 years but I used to like your videos back then, and they helped me a bunch. Good luck with what comes next for you !
Hello Matti, I followed your channel for several years, watching your reviews of new cameras and equipment. I wrote down a phrase you said on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk: "If you want to achieve success, focus on solving a problem." Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You made a great team. Success in this new phase of your life.
Matti, I have really enjoyed your really well crafted videos over the years. I have learned a lot from you. Beautiful shots of Japan! A place I have called home for many years. If you ever need a place to stay, if you are in Sapporo, you can crash here. All the best!
I am happy for you. I think balance is key to true happiness. I got a feeling you’ll be back but take the time you need. Ground yourself and allow yourself to feel what you’ve been missing. I’ve watch many of your videos and have always been inspired. I just started my own RUclips channel and would like to know what advice you have for me? How do I keep my self balanced and avoid the noise over power the quiet? Best wishes to you!
Theres a few more videos coming cause I got so sick for 2 weeks but then its 🫡. I appreciate all of you so much 😊
You cant leave us, its so wrong, youtube just isnt youtube without you :(
Whyyyyy??? Whyyyyy??? This makes me feel even older 😭 But I understand. Nothing lasts forever 🫶🏻
Thanks for all the knowledge you have shared over the years.
Hope you'll be back soon. Enjoy the ride, man! I think you'll be back sooner than you think 😎
Take it easy and enjoy the next chapter.
Quitting RUclips seems to be trending pretty hard right now.
These 'I'm quitting RUclips' videos are never about really quitting....annnnnd, he's already posted another video (happy for that).
"I used to be scared about leaving money on the table, and now I'm way more terrified at not living life itself." That is powerful.
hmm, you need to read more or diverse your reading list.
what does that supposed to mean? @@marcoaslan
Cause now he has so much, he doesn't have to worry about money. What an achievement.
@@melodicmahdi3381 TikTok generation thinking any random sentence is "powerful", any snapshot is "mesmerizing"
They are quiting.....
because some people are fed up, that
people are pointing finger on everybody to make profit
instead of finding healthy solutions that help our society and community and inspire people in healthy way.
we became a society of "pointing finger on everybody" because its profitable,
but it doesn´t make the society happy and productive,
we are suposed to find solution to healthy lifestyle.
not pointing finger on our neighbors, on certain group of people, on old people, or on young people, on vegetarian people, on broken people on healthy people
we are supposed to feel empathy and find solutions
It solves nothing, it just contributes to more and more problems and less and less happiness, less and less satisfaction.
I am fed up that youtube constantly sends me videos where people trow trash on each other and analyze celebrities and nonsense.
We all do it at some point, but some people do it so often that they dont realize how unhappy it makes them feel.
How to lose trust of an audience:
1. Make a video saying “I’m quitting youtube”
2. Put a sponsorship segment to the end
3. Make the next RUclips video in a few days
You might be a great filmmaker, but you lost my trust for sure.
Stop saying you're quitting RUclips just for clout.
You've already said this like 4 times before.
Come up with something original for once.
Imma be honest. I don’t think you are actually quitting.
He’s not.. a lot of “influencers” are on the band wagon “quitting RUclips” it’s what’s selling now.
@@thejonchacon yup. and before you know it, 3 or 6 months later, they are back in full gear.
@@the_1drummajor yeah like, if you are going to quit then quit. @iamjake a RUclipsr who took no sponsors just went dark and quit. He didn’t post a video about it. He just quit.

Just a publicity stunt
Matti was a big reason I started a RUclips Channel in the first place. GOAT.
You were that for me bro, so I gotta thank Matti also 🔥
@@jacques_craffordI second that.
@@nurniazfilms that's huge, I love your channel!
Love you man ❤
If it is a year off, sounds more like that. A year off. I really like your content, but I never understood these quitting or taking a break videos. I hope you come back.
best of luck brother, really appreciated your videos over the years 🫡
pl
Proud of you for this decision. It's going to have ripple effects on our community in such a positive way. Thanks for inspiring us all.
Probably the longest "im quitting" message ever lol, it been how many videos of him saying he is leaving?
You deserve peace and that is okay, you are okay.
I wouldn't walk away from his smashing success on YT. His channel is something that millions try to emulate, but don't have the resources to fulfill.
few more coming... LOL really long quit, I had to unsub on the end of the channel
Yes, he's really milking this. With solid editing at least.
Agreed. I feel like I’ve seen this headline many times before
You gotta give him that@@soundscape26
I haven't watched the video yet, but here is my pre-watch prediction " I've done this for a long time, but I'm looking for new challenges to push me creatively and help me grow as an artist. I've had so many great experiences that will stay with me forever, but it's time for a new stage"
bruh moment, basically what you said but more cinematic and well-written dialogue
Gonna miss you Matti! On to bigger and better things, Gods got his plan for you! Thanks for all of the awesome content over the years, I’ve learned a ton from you. 😁👍
You're a true inspiration, it's such an honor that you chose one of my tracks for this beautiful story!
You'll be missed here on the plattform!
Don't you guys always quit then come back 3 weeks later
3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years they all come back when reality hits.
Lol he came back a few days ago lol stretched it to 5 months. 😂
I can’t figure out why anyone with a million+ subscribers and a couple hundred thousand views per video would ever walk away. 🤔 Working for yourself and making good money consistently. You won’t find a job like that. They have no idea what the real world or the regular world is like or they would just enjoy and be thankful of the thing they have created. By the way this isn’t a negative comment. I’m just explaining my perspective from a dumb blue collar welder’s point of view. I look forward to see how this works out for the next year. 😎👍🏻 Good luck!
I think part of it is the hours@@Rust_Belt_Fab
Appreciate you Matti. Been following along since the early ‘17 Travel Feels days. Thanks for all the great times. I’m not in content creation anymore, but I’ll always appreciate it as one of the funnest seasons of my life, and you were a part of that. God bless brother!
Why I’m quitting YT season 3 episode 48 😂
I discovered you through Peter when I came back from Europe in 2017. It's crazy to think that was SEVEN years ago (feels like 3). It's been a really fun ride. Looking forward to seeing what's next.
I can't imagine the channel makes like, CRAZY money, so its a fair thing to move onto something more fulfilling. It'll never make sense to me that RUclipsrs 'quit' RUclips... they can just post less, or even never, but 'quitting' the thing that you spent years building, when you don't have to post anyway, just seems like its saying 'quit' for the sake of saying quit....the action thats required to quit, is simply inaction, which makes taking the action of quitting, seem very strange.

I sincerely hope he takes comments like your to heart. Leaving in the mid-stream of success seems insane to me. I've been there. It's no picnic.
this is my 'new' account. I've been making videos on RUclips since 2006 and have made 1500 videos. I'm just getting started, even though I'm over 50 years old. you're never too old to start over. See you in a year Matti :)
Here’s to giving the finger to Hustle Culture! Cheers Matti, wishing you all the best with the new journey and most of all, more quality time with your family 🙌🏻
@2:15 Hot tip, don't select the blade tool, just map add edit to your keyboard.

Godspeed, Matti.
He's been saying this for month's. He's not going anywhere. Click bait 2.0 if he were serious he'd just quit. No announcement needed.
Wow, lotta RUclipsrs quitting to start off the New Year. Sad to see, but hey, out with the old and in with the new and all that. Godspeed, Matti. You've helped a lot of people improve their photography and videography and you've much to be proud of. Your content will be missed, but we are very thankful for what you've given us.
Nah, they're not "quitting"
@@Jay-jb2vru right, they'll be back with another product😂
@josendrado Yup they already started doing that
So many RUclipsrs say that they quit just to pop up again.

Thank you for being with us all these years Matti 🫶
I will happily take all of your views and subs while you go on retirement. I dont think you're quitting, just retiring for now
How long are you going to drag this out?
They all do it... The low key thumbnail... And I'm quitting.. I think the yt money has just slowed up and it's time to leave on their own terms.. So many are doing it and claiming the same reason... The niche is over saturated for what they do.
I've noticed many big RUclipsrs are quitting
It really hurts me so much seeing many creators quiting RUclips these days. Vaya con dios Matti. Hope to see you again some day
When they leave, Artificial Intelligence robs all their material and someone else makes the money. It's a crying shame.
Some leave, some arrive... we'll never be short on creators.
Do you think its a money thing or a burn out thing? Or is it a niche thing?
So inspiring. Enjoy your next chapter!
End of an Era for sure. RUclips will never be the same.
I have noticed in the last 3 to 4 years. Most of my favorite RUclipsrs like Matti and Pete, just seem to be done. They love YT and what it's done for their Careers, but you can tell, they're ready to move on to the next chapter.
Good Luck Matti!
I agree... Peter is also different for past year... very different... almost sad sometimes....

Wish you all the best, Matti, looking forward to where life takes you next. Thank you for the inspiration!
Quitting youtube the saga
You're not quitting. You're stopping. You're using "quitting" like smokers do, you'll be back, which is not quitting.

Who else left?
everything changed on RUclips this year and the pressure got 100% worse, and much less money.. so that is why some are leaving...

Will miss the videos but can relate to your decision. Good luck, hope you have a good time with your family and I’m looking forward for more videos hopefully in a year 😉
I have learned a lot over the years, from creators like you, your brother, Peter, Chris...each of you leaves a mark on me. I have made a living from creating audiovisual content for years, but I have never dared to get in front of a camera. So you already showed that you could...and in what way! So if you now consider other challenges, at least let us know from time to time how you are doing. Here we will be waiting 😉
I kinda lost interest in photography and videography which i used to love. But ive always enjoyed your videos. Hope you will occasionally share some candid clips (not overproduced) of whatever you decide to do next. I think youtube is like the mafia, you can't really leave, you can only change roles. So we will see you in a different role next time but we will still see you. You done good. You made good friends and you made some money too. Life is good. Congratulations on that. Not everyone can achieve this simple thing but your hard work paid off.
here we go again..
Been following you since you were Travel Feels and making vids w/ Peter and Chris. Your excellent video reviews on camera gear is what brought me here, but your great personality and attitude tied with your outstanding camera work, editing, and teaching is why I stayed. I will miss your videos, but I'm happy for you moving onto the next chapter in life. Thank you Matti, for everything.
I’m STOKED for you Matti. Although many of us now or in the past didn’t understand your decision, including me, I don’t think you’ll regret it one bit. Enjoy the time with your beautiful family and friends. If you want to travel with friends and money gets tight, don’t feel bad coming back early and dropping a branded video on us. We like supporting you, thanks for all you’ve given and shared with us.
This is like the second time he makes a video like this
Gonna Miss Matti.
Can't wait for the other videos.
February: How I quit RUclips
March: Why you should Quit RUclips

@@timmark4190whoosh
Excited for this next chapter for you. Thank you for inspiring me and so many others brother!
2021: I'm quitting RUclips.
2022: I'm quitting RUclips.
2023: I'm quitting RUclips at the end of 2023.
2024: Seriously, guys. I'm quitting RUclips, but here is another video and I have a few more on the way in 2024.
It seems like you're just trying to create some clickbait videos at this point.
Feels weird doing a sponsor spot and goodbye video in one.
I am blacklisting every RUclipsr who is planning to quit. Goodbye, don't let the door hit you!
bro relax lmaoo they dont owe you anything
You are wonderful and I will miss the channel, but I will stay subscribed and most importantly, I’m so happy for your new chapter in life. Have fun and find that creative fulfillment ❤️ 🎥 🎞️
I thought I've seen this video before?🤔
yes he has made multiple of these
Last night in went to bed with mass anxiety realizing I spend 7 long days a week on my channel and almost never stop. Thanks for the years of inspiration and for this reminder. And the LUTS. 😊 All the best on your new adventures Matti. (Why am I crying?).
We appreciate you so much Matti, we will be here if you choose to come back, thank you for this amazing channel ❤
Thanks for quitting!😂 lesser dupes on youtube tryna create same repeated content over and over cringy stuff
"You're joking! Not another one"
Declare quitting RUclips on RUclips 😂
Yeah we know you’ve been talking about it for months. I thought you said one of your videos you weren’t gonna be posting anything in 2024?
Thank you so much, it really speaks to me where I'm at in my life. The fear or moving to a new season and being present where I need to be.
You are really milking this cring "I quit RUclips" trend.
At this point it's started to feel like those influencer break-up videos !!
This dude actually thinks people care 😂
Appreciate your honesty and content. Best decision imho. Kids are only young once and that time with your family can never be replaced or rewound. Miss ya man!
Miss you Matti. Would love to see a video like once a quarter or a little update 😊 you are one of the people that got me away from my terrible warehouse job and into film and editing
Dang man. I gotta say I appreciate you being on this space and this is like a wake up call really and reminder not to take any thing for granted and to make use of the time and space we exist in and to go for our dreams. Bro I appreciate you and I wanna wish you all the best in what ever you take on next and I know what it is when burn out comes or that time comes for a change. All the best to you tour family and your friend and if you ever share the next venture with use I’ll be sure to wanna be apart of that.
Go out there and live that life, man!
Living in Japan, I'm bummed that I didn't get to meet you. But glad you enjoyed your time here!
Did you re-upload this video cause I swore I saw it a few weeks back
People who really was going to quit will never out this much effort into a video. They will just stop uploading
Taking a break is always good, it helps to reset and recharge your batteries so to speak. Thank you for all your videos! I myself have been doing RUclips for 12 years now and I try my best to go easy on myself so as not to burn out.
The classic marketing strategy since the skies were created... instead of saying "I want a 2-years break because I'm exhausted" let's say "Goodbye forever, you will never see me again, I'm disappearing from earth" just because it adds a lot of drama, makes fuzz and sounds more interesting. After 1 or 2 years... "hey I'm making the greatest comeback ever!!! it's more of me but 10,000 better!!!" etc... etc... etc...
its fun to see you guys are all quitting for the exact reason i didnt even think about starting youtube 10 years ago.
to connect your craft with your face means your face always has to be there. You need mental disorder to deal with that your whole life ;-)
This makes me happy. It makes me happy to see my online mentors doing cool stuff and living life. I have learned a ton from Chris and Matti over the last 7 years of RUclips. Thank you.
Im glad to see that your didnt quit ;) And that's great! Because I just started a few weeks ago and you are one of my big inspirations Matti!
Cap. Once a RUclipsr always a RUclipsr. U will upload every now and again. At least thats what im doing. I wish i could have yur help making a vlog 1 time
Love you, Matti. Onward!
Congrats and good luck Matti. Have learned lots from your channel and also been entertained.
Welcome back anytime. We will be waiting here for you and your stories... Thank you and paljon kiitoksia!
Best wishes on wherever the next path you decide to follow is. Thank you for sharing your craft and for taking all of us along with you to some very beautiful places.
Dude, do it! Maybe see you out there, now that you have gone rogue! 🔥 Thank you for everything you have put out there over the years, truly. 🙏🏻 Enjoy the balance!
Thank you Matti, I haven't commented (or even watched much, but that's because I don't really watch RUclips anymore) on your videos since like 3 years but I used to like your videos back then, and they helped me a bunch. Good luck with what comes next for you !
Hello Matti, I followed your channel for several years, watching your reviews of new cameras and equipment. I wrote down a phrase you said on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk: "If you want to achieve success, focus on solving a problem." Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You made a great team. Success in this new phase of your life.
Thank you for the advice and tips over the years and here's hoping you find what you want in life. Best of luck!
Matti, I have really enjoyed your really well crafted videos over the years. I have learned a lot from you. Beautiful shots of Japan! A place I have called home for many years. If you ever need a place to stay, if you are in Sapporo, you can crash here. All the best!
I am happy for you. I think balance is key to true happiness. I got a feeling you’ll be back but take the time you need. Ground yourself and allow yourself to feel what you’ve been missing. I’ve watch many of your videos and have always been inspired. I just started my own RUclips channel and would like to know what advice you have for me? How do I keep my self balanced and avoid the noise over power the quiet? Best wishes to you!
