Hey Baz, I read on your Curious Cat that you said part of the reason you decided to stop making vids is because you felt you had nothing new to bring as other people are now making humorous book reviews at all. I wouldn't agree with that. You bring a humor all your own that is uniquely Barry Pierce. And what's more, an existentialist dread and and uncaring alienation of your audience that I've seen no other TH-camr tackle. These may not sound like compliments, but believe me, they are, your videos with these strongest characteristics are my favorite. Your video "How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare" I'd say was experimental and new to this platform. My god, I've rewatched that one many times. Your most recent video before this was just your own interpretation of a Beckett poem. That's fucking awesome. Who else would do that, with no introduction? And there are quite a number of other examples I could cite. And even when you're not making videos that are as groundbreaking as these, your vlog videos are just enjoyable to watch due to your personality. As well as a way to discover great music, films and books. If you really do want to quit, by all means do. I can understand getting sick of doing something or wanting to do something else. But if you're quitting because you think you have nothing new to the table, that's just not true.
this is all very very kind. and you definitely overstate my impact on this platform haha. i actually had to search for that dead hare video. i had somehow entirely forgotten its existence. looking back at it, it is an interesting concept and im slightly shocked that the person who made it was me. this message was very reassuring. thank you.
I did indeed have fun! But yes, sometimes it's time to just pack it in. If you're not feeling it anymore, what's the point? I remain your ever loyal follower on Twitter of course 👌🏻
oh no...oh well... much as I want to see more of your videos, I don't think a channel sustained merely by social pressure is good to anyone. it is your life...you should do what you like. :) I had fun
The number of times I have watched and rewatched every single video on this channel even the 3 hr long livestreams. Still the coolest channel on youtube.
Barry, you were amazing at making videos and you are 100% my all time favourite youtuber. It would amazing if you decided to stay but I respect your decision to quit. I will still continue to rewatch all your videos again and again. Tysm for the hours of joy!!!!! :) (btw congratz on 1 million views truly deserved)
Oh no, I'll miss your videos! But I have rewatched them so often already that I have found them eternally rewatchable. Thank you, baz pierce. (All this feels like you have actually died. You might be the only person in history able to witness their own funeral.)
I only bollocking well found your channel about a month ago. Oh well, there's lots of things I did as a teenager I have no interest in now in my twenties so fair enough
I've been following you for years and I definitely had fun. You are one of my favorite booktubers ever. But sometimes you just have to let it go. So stay true to yourself and don't look back (?) Best wishes from Spain.
"No more carefree laughter Silence ever after Walking through an empty house Tears in my eyes This is where the story ends This is goodbye" thank god for Twitter
I had fun!! Thank you Barry for your wonderful wit and excellent videos. Your amazing sense of humor is truly an acquired taste. I will miss your videos, but I hope you keep the past ones up. Catch you and your fabulous content on twitter!
I've had so much fun watching your videos! You've made me smile so many times. I'll miss you on TH-cam, but I'll still be an avid follower on your social media accounts.
Usually I don't write comments but since this is your last video I just wanted thank you! INKGASM always cheers me up, you introduced me to Starter For Ten and are one of the few people to authentically appreciate Björk . Goodbye Dorothy and thank you so much
well it was good to hear you through these last years, I've been here since 2014 and oh Barry you are one of my favorite people on TH-cam, I can't remember how I found your channel but I did, and from Mexico let me tell you that you opinions, reviews, recommendations, baking, and sarcasm will be missed! :)
well it was great to hear you speaking, you have such an enjoyable sarcasm, I've been watching you since 2014, I can't remember how I found you channel but I did (I'm from Mexico and still got linked to you videos somehow, which is an unusual thing) and since that, you are one of my favorite people to watch, hopefully you come back someday :)
Oh no!!! The video that got me onto you was the video from a while back where you said “they found bin laden....IN HIS HOUSE!” I thought, “this kid is brilliant!” I just hopped on to see if you had posted anything new and I’m a couple years late. Good luck to you, Barry. I wish you the best.
I've had a lot of fun. I really admired your way of standing apart from the other channels. I also wanted to thank you for giving the me the push I needed to start my channel. You might not remember that but I do and I'll always be grateful.
I’m sad you’re leaving, but I’ve loved your channel and I’ve had fun! But I’m glad you’re doing what makes you happy x And yes, I will continue to be absolute trash on your Instagram, you’re an amazing person ❤️
awww.... i just discovered your vids! They are totally fun!! I'm sad you've grown out of this, but I understand. Happy to continue following you on Goodreads as we agree so often about books... but these videos are comedy gold and you make me wanna read everything you talk about, heh. You could have a real career on TV hosting something, anything... if you wanted :)
Oh Barry ... I'm so sad you're leaving but you have to do what you feel is best for you :) I love your unique personality and your quality content will certainly be missed by many. I'll keep following you on your other social media. Thank you for those amazing seven years. #LoYalFollower
This post is old now. I didn't realize you'd posted in the last year. I hadn't been visiting TH-cam much for quite some time, until recently. I feel as if I've watched you grow up. You were so young when you started. You were such a sweet boy, and then later extremely funny and entertaining! I have greatly enjoyed your videos. You really do have a talent for being in front of a camera, and you express yourself with both wit and intelligence. I do hope you are finding your way Barry :).
I've been a follower since the VERY beginning. I can remember your older channel "Barrysbooks" and a bookshelf tour on this older channel. I'm sure you mentioned a Steinbeck book of letters which you said was given to you by your English teacher. This was probably 2009 or 2010.
This really saddens me. You're actually one of a handful of youtubers I wished would keep on making videos forever, though unrealistic, I know. You will be missed.
I have to say as much as I understand and respect your wishes, I'm very sad to see you go. I always greatly enjoyed your videos from the very beginning. My hope is that, although this may be your final video on TH-cam, that it's not ultimately your final video ever. =(
single-handedly the worst breakup of my life
And now I've entered depression
Goodbye lovely person
Its like seeing the death of a star. A cosmic beauty has died.
R I P Barry....
I've had so much fun. Will miss your videos, it's been a good seven years of content (give or take a few months of absence haha)
I HAD FUN

😢 *begins rewatching all past book reviews*
You were like a needle in a haystack of YA booktubers. I very much enjoyed your selection of books. Best of luck to your future endeavors!
I did indeed have fun! But yes, sometimes it's time to just pack it in. If you're not feeling it anymore, what's the point? I remain your ever loyal follower on Twitter of course 👌🏻
ahh thanks V
#thankyoubazpierce
lol at least you tried
have a good life, i still often think about your review of anna and the french kiss ... twas a legendary take down
Saw this coming but still want to die 😎
Oh, for God's sake, no! Your review of Wuthering Heights is my all time favourite YT video. Just please don't delete your oeuvre, OK?!
I had fun. Missing your great book taste and sarcastic reviews already
You will be missed here. 😢
This comment section looks more like an epigraph

This is my favourite channel 😭 it sucks that you don't enjoy making them anymore but I'll keep following your blog and twitter.
Fun we had, Barry. Farewell, my queen. I'll see you on Instagram.
I had so much fun!! I was first introduced to you through your Irish slang/sayings videos back when you were a baby!!! It has been so much fun
Of course we had fun. Now you go do stuff that interests you :)
Oh no, I'll miss your videos! But I have rewatched them so often already that I have found them eternally rewatchable. Thank you, baz pierce. (All this feels like you have actually died. You might be the only person in history able to witness their own funeral.)
I only bollocking well found your channel about a month ago. Oh well, there's lots of things I did as a teenager I have no interest in now in my twenties so fair enough
I've been following you for years and I definitely had fun. You are one of my favorite booktubers ever. But sometimes you just have to let it go. So stay true to yourself and don't look back (?)
Best wishes from Spain.
Bye, Barry. All the best for being your shining self in other parts of the world besides TH-cam. I think we all had fun. 😊
istg my 2020 would be saved by your return.
sad day for humanity
I will miss your vlogs. You've inspired me to read beyond the realms of my fav genre. Each one of your videos has made me laugh. #thankyoubazpierce
End of an era 😭
I am genuinely sad
But I had fun, Barry. Thank u.
can we revive both our channels to do the try not to laugh challenge in a year or so please
absolutely
4 months. We expect that video.
A year’s up
Give the people what they want
We will never forget How to be Irish
Bollox . Just found your channel and now this. Well I'm glad I got years of reviews of yours to get through. Thank you
I'll miss your videos but I'm glad you're doing what you want and need to do. All the best!
"No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house
Tears in my eyes
This is where the story ends
This is goodbye"

This is art.
I had fun!! Thank you Barry for your wonderful wit and excellent videos. Your amazing sense of humor is truly an acquired taste. I will miss your videos, but I hope you keep the past ones up. Catch you and your fabulous content on twitter!

I had fun.
Although I always kinda hoped you'd bring back 'Barry Bakes'. *Cue to sad music*
well it was good to hear you through these last years, I've been here since 2014 and oh Barry you are one of my favorite people on TH-cam, I can't remember how I found your channel but I did, and from Mexico let me tell you that you opinions, reviews, recommendations, baking, and sarcasm will be missed! :)
The milestone is notable. Sorry to see you go. I enjoyed your stuff.
well it was great to hear you speaking, you have such an enjoyable sarcasm, I've been watching you since 2014, I can't remember how I found you channel but I did (I'm from Mexico and still got linked to you videos somehow, which is an unusual thing) and since that, you are one of my favorite people to watch, hopefully you come back someday :)
A long disgruntled groan is pretty much the best way to put it.
💖 thank you
OMG... I'll miss your videos! It's been a good run! "Vomit my own intestines through my eyeballs" will still forever be my favorite shady remark lol
Thank you. For all the videos and laughs. I definitely had fun too. I’ll listen to a dubstep Enya remix in your honour. (wow #tbt) 💕
I still find myself here. Still can't stop thinking about this breakup. What we could have been.
Thanks for the content, will truly miss your videos!
still having fun
Truly the final nail in TH-cam's coffin
can we have an emergency hotline for Barry leaving youtube because I can't even...
Oh no!!! The video that got me onto you was the video from a while back where you said “they found bin laden....IN HIS HOUSE!” I thought, “this kid is brilliant!” I just hopped on to see if you had posted anything new and I’m a couple years late. Good luck to you, Barry. I wish you the best.
i've had so much fun. thanks
I've had a lot of fun. I really admired your way of standing apart from the other channels. I also wanted to thank you for giving the me the push I needed to start my channel. You might not remember that but I do and I'll always be grateful.
Loved your videos. I feel like this is a break up 💔😭 But I indeed had fun.
Well, I’m depressed now. 😭 Thank you for all the laughs over the years. #ThankYouBazPierce 💜🖤💚💙💛🧡❤️
I honestly really liked the baking videos.
I had all the funN thanks baby
I think this video marks the point at which my life began to spiral into chaos.
I’m sad you’re leaving, but I’ve loved your channel and I’ve had fun! But I’m glad you’re doing what makes you happy x
And yes, I will continue to be absolute trash on your Instagram, you’re an amazing person ❤️
my heart is dead
I HAD FUN. PLENTY OF IT
Tragic
I still come back to visit. I really have never met anyone like you. You still make me laugh 🤣. I Miss You ❤️
Eventually we will see your mugshot on a tv screen so it's all good.
Bye barry. You were a real one. Rest in peace you freak ❤😩👾
Bummer. Any thoughts on a podcast? [Gasp] please don't tell me you already have one. Your voice is golden. I've had fun!
Dear beautiful Barry, you were the best video maker
I had fun!
awww.... i just discovered your vids! They are totally fun!! I'm sad you've grown out of this, but I understand. Happy to continue following you on Goodreads as we agree so often about books... but these videos are comedy gold and you make me wanna read everything you talk about, heh. You could have a real career on TV hosting something, anything... if you wanted :)
I'm really gonna miss you. RIP, our Ginger angel
What a rollercoaster of emotions
I HAD FUN 💔
But I understand your decision, and wish you the best in whatever new project you persue, you'll have my support ❤ It was a good run!
Oh Barry ... I'm so sad you're leaving but you have to do what you feel is best for you :) I love your unique personality and your quality content will certainly be missed by many. I'll keep following you on your other social media. Thank you for those amazing seven years. #LoYalFollower

Its over :( will love u forever Barryyyy. Gone too soon from us 😣😣😣😣
I've been a follower since the VERY beginning.
I can remember your older channel "Barrysbooks" and a bookshelf tour on this older channel. I'm sure you mentioned a Steinbeck book of letters which you said was given to you by your English teacher. This was probably 2009 or 2010.
Please reupload these for comedic and nostalgic purposes.
Heartbroken 💔
I will miss your videos . Wishing you all the best . Xx
how robbed you feel on a scale from "misleading advertising" to "i donated to your Patreon" lol
I only discovered you just now but I think I’ll still miss you.
This really saddens me. You're actually one of a handful of youtubers I wished would keep on making videos forever, though unrealistic, I know. You will be missed.
My frienda cry over 1D breaking up but the end of this channel is REAL pain and inner turmoil
Come back, please. I just discovered you now.
I miss you Barry
I have to say as much as I understand and respect your wishes, I'm very sad to see you go. I always greatly enjoyed your videos from the very beginning.
My hope is that, although this may be your final video on TH-cam, that it's not ultimately your final video ever. =(
#thankyoubazpierce
Seriously, have always loved the channel. Hate to see you go, but it's understandable.
WILL MISS YOU
I miss you. I'm just a grandma in Seattle. I thought you should know.
