    Unlike most TH-camrs who make a whole hour long goodbye video when leaving TH-cam, Ryan decided to leave TH-cam slowly, making less & less videos overtime till he no longer wanted to continue making content. Easing his fans into accepting his departure of the platform instead of a sudden goodbye video. Its sad that he’s left but I’m proud of him.

    Ryan was and forever will have a special place in my life. He pretty much shaped my entire teenage life. Everytime life would get overwhelming I'd immediately just go to his channel and rewatch his older videos. He was the only influencer/youtuber/celebrity I adored so much that I went as far as actually getting his merch just so that I could support him. It's been 6 years and not once have I taken off his iconic "teehee" wristband. As heartbroken as I was when I heard he quit TH-cam, I'm so glad that he prioritized his mental health and wellbeing and took this break.

My friends and I made our own silly videos and had many inside jokes that were inspired by his work. I had known he was burnt out but I didn’t realize the extent till watching this video. I just wish I could shake his hand or give him a hug and thank him for playing such a major part in my life. Honestly, rather than feel sad I’m glad he’s searching for his next thing in life. He’s already left us with so much, he’s overdue for some self love.

    I never watched him, but he is a staple and an icon in TH-cam and internet history. He’s been here since the start ad had a huge impact on the culture. Everyone loves dude, and I hope he finds purpose (because it seems like he’s kinda lost with where to take his life since he already made it huge). Prime example of how money and success doesn’t bring happiness. You need to be content with who you are and stay true to your values. Be open and try to connect with people. Keep yourself busy with different types of work or activities with different people around you to offer perspectives. These are the things that bring joy. Not saying he didn’t do that, but just speaking in general. Do what you wanna do in life. Don’t fall into a trap of a dreadful routine.

    Ryan was one of the most popular, and beloved TH-camrs. He deserves to step away and do whatever makes him happy. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the time when nigahiga, smosh, Jenna marbles, and pewdiepie were in their prime, but mostly because that was when I was a kid so I just have nostalgia behind it.

    I just hope he's doing better without feeling the pressure of feeling forced to do something he no longer enjoys. The mental battles someone face has nothing to do with their status or wealth, rich or poor life can beat you to the ground and keep you there. It wasn't hard to see from these clips that he's been through enough. I think it hit me extra hard to see someone I grew up watching and been such an inspiration put words to things I can relate so strongly to despite being entirely different from him. I'm just a normal guy with a beautiful girlfriend and a baby that is due in 2 weeks, but I've also struggled with mental health issues for over a decade and just woke up now and watched this video after another night of intense nightmares. Not really sure why I'm typing this long comment, but this video and hearing this story really touched me and if you random person wherever you are on the planet read it, thank you.

I hope the rhpc team are doing well behind the scenes and wish the best of luck to all of them on their future endeavors.

    Stuff like this makes me sad. You take a genuine guy who makes content and you grow up watching someone like this grow and blow up on the internet and we all enjoy it. Then as you get older, they get older and they either thrive or fall. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching Ryan higa when I was a kid and when he stopped uploading a couple years ago, I just wondered where he went or if he’d ever come back. It’s worse when they say they don’t enjoy this life anymore. I just hope whatever he’s doing, he’s doing alright and he’s seeking something better for himself
