This isn’t a knock against him or anything, but I feel that these giant several months-long gaps in his video output aren’t worth watching just a little 9 minute video for. Now, I don’t know what his work schedule is like, there’s probably a lot going on behind the scenes that I’m not aware of and he absolutely has his right to his privacy. I get that 100%. But I can see his viewership is shrinking, his takes aren’t really that new, and he’s more of a disembodied AI than an actual narrator I can connect with to learn about the material. I’m not compelled to watch anymore, and maybe that’s because my tastes have changed or maybe he’s just phasing the channel out, I don’t know. He’s changed up his style in the past 5 years to be more hands off, but in doing so he’s kinda not as engaging as he used to be. The nerdwriter’s just become boring to me compared to other video essayists who put out more substantial, meatier analysis with the same amount of time gaps in between. I just feel like it’s not enough. I’m not demanding an explanation, I’m just wondering if anyone else in his audience felt that way.
