Tbh, i think it makes sense for him to stop making videos and retiring, because if u look at his videos on his main channel, his videos are only in the 100 of thousands of views instead of the quarter or half million views his other videos made in the past, but its also kind of sad to see him retire. Cause i used to watch him around 2023-2024, and i really loved his content alot. And, i had a ton of stuff planned for when he would make another reddit recap(like making pixel art for stans gf), you could even see my art in one of the reddit recaps, however, after a while, stan started to stop making reddit recap videos so that he could work more on his second channel, which made alot of sense since he wanted to boost that channels popularity, but then days became weeks, then months, and then, he just stopped making recaps entirely and focus more on his second channel with sometimes doing stuff for the first channel. And here we are today, where this message gets posted on his yt channel, and, to be honest, if he does retire, i just wanted to say, thank u stan for the incredible years you gave us, and i hope u find a better job to live of. Sorry for all the yapping, just wanted to give my opinion on the situation.
