Why this one

Tom Scott uploaded a video every single week for ten years and then stopped. The announcement, published on January 1, 2024, is his most-watched video by a significant margin at 12 million views — and a quiet underperformance for something that dominated creator Twitter for 48 hours. Sub-decay is the mechanism: 6.7 million subscribers accumulated across a decade of wildly different topics, from linguistic anomalies to transport infrastructure, many of them people who clicked once in 2016 and never returned. The 12 million who showed up for the farewell are the active fraction of a passive decade-long museum — a smaller number than the internet's collective grief suggested.
