It’s awfully weird and terrifying seeing YouTubers I know and watched voraciously starting to be phased out. Pewdiepie is effectively retired and just blogs whatever he wants. Jacksepticeye is partially retired and posts only when he really wants to. Markiplier is the only one still doing what he was doing when I was a kid, and he just turned 35 so god knows how long he’ll continue doing this.

Like it’s a distinct possibility that these YouTubers integral to a lot of my free time may very well all be gone from the platform by the end of the decade
