what do you guys think? i definitely didn’t expect it, but i respect his decision 100%. there’s only so many videos he could make on the same topic anyway
for me, i’m just feeling really inspired by his drive to complete his purpose and i’m ready to put in some real work on self improvement now

To be honest his videos have gotten repetitive recently he needs new life experiences to discuss and reflect on because he’s still so young and stories from university are not insightful anymore. A less frequent schedule will allow him to make videos that are more meaningful rather than “7 ways to ….” telling the same stories. If we can get the rawness of Hamza from 2020-21 then I’d love that
5 quarters are worth more than a hundred pennies
simple but true. all of his latest videos seem to just lead back to core concepts like mental health, detox etc
Pretty sure he called it quits cause a fuck ton of his videos got demonetized and even his discord was restricted/deemed NSFW.. a shame this happened but I respect the decision especially since 1/3rd of his income was instantly dropped.
Don't make excuses, start now as you said. I started really focusing in, last July and now I am on my way to a second promotion from team leader to now First line manager once a job opening appears. My manager tried to get promote onto first line manager for night shift but that would hinder my other parts of my life such as me blogging my journey.
Hamza is going through his "stick or twist" phase.. I completely respect him for choosing twist here and moving on to new endeavors
I'm genuinely surprised he did.
Not going to lie, whilst I used to think he was mostly authentic, a part of me thought he quite incentivized by Youtube's wealth (since the self-improvement space pushes this hustle culture which Hamza did seem, to some extent, embody and push). This made me respect him more as, let's be honest, he's giving up at least 50% of his income AND his future income. He essentially gave up on his hustle at his (arguable) peak whilst giving up on his upward trajectory to earn more money in the future. Truthfully, I can't say I would've done the same - I would've stuck it out because coming across that type of wealth isn't something that's easy to come by + fame/relevance (in turn $$$) can disappear in a click of a finger (people might not even give a fuck about him anymore in 3,6 or 12 months time). Respect to him.
It's honestly overdue. Self improvement has been lazer focused on superficial things for a long time, and purpose is a subject that gets glossed over far too often, when it's literally the most important facet of any kind of self improvement. I'm glad he is moving on from the played out topics.
Will definitely miss him but if this means that Hamza will start posting quality content again then i am all for it.
He got cancelled by the big wigs. Look at his last video on his second channel. His videos suddenly got demonetized and his discord was shut down. That was two weeks ago. Now he claims he's quitting because of (x) reasons but really it's obvious that men in suits had enough of the pro-masculine influence.
I think he'll start doing videos again once money starts to dry out
The biggest thing that hit me: he's over the idea of new followers, but he wants to continue communicating with his current followers.
Personally, I love that sentiment. There are a million self-improvement channels out there now and tbh after Hamza's success, half of them preach his message and even sound/act like him anyway. If anyone is is really captured by Hamza himself, his old catalogue is always there. But for us? The guys who already follow him? Well, we're already inspired by him. Now, he wants to prove to himself and to us that he is indeed the leader we positioned him as.
I can think of nothing more inspirational than a guy preaching the benefits of self-improvement to over a million young men over a relatively short amount of time (while his own life drastically improved infront of our very eyes), and then at some point, stopping the systematic preaching to just go off and lead by example. We'll be seeing him in action now, raw and uncut as ever. I have a great feeling about this new direction. It may not be the best way to grow the channel, or even to retain his current audience, but the truly dedicated guys will make the most out of this seeing him make the most out of his own time and cultivate his purpose.
