You are one of the last non clickbait non sensationalist YouTubers left that’s something to be extremely proud of

I won't pretend to speak for anybody else (but I suspect others feel similarly), my attention and entertainment aren't as important as your mental health. Everything between now and the next video is still life, take care of yourself and I personally look forward to hearing updates whenever it works for you.

No rush, just when you are ready. We all appreciate your time and energy, no matter the frequency.

Cody, we love you. If you want to take a break for a week or even a year, do it. Though we love your videos, we care more about you being okay.

This.

Cody, take care of yourself. Maybe take a break and travel for a while. If you need an excuse I'm sure there are a few channels who might be interested in working with you for a few videos like Nile Red or How To Make Everything.

Or maybe see if you can get your credits transferred to another university and finish your degree?

For me the fun of watching your videos is imagining that I could buy some land and build my own Mars base. If it's making you miserable then it kind-of defeats the purpose.

I (and presumably most of the others here) would hate to be responsible for harming your physical or metal health.

Take your time. We can wait. Don't overwork yourself. We'll understand. It's better to relase good content late than bad earlier or more often. You're doing a great job. keep it up!

For the quality you produce, we're totally willing to wait until you're ready dude. Take care of yourself first!

You don't have to justify yourself to others. If you ever see others asking "what happened" or giving you any shit for not uploading every single day then do your best to just ignore them.

You don't owe your content to anyone. Your health - mental or otherwise - is the most important thing. So if it's stressing you out too much, then it's okay to let it go completely if you need or go at your own pace, whatever that might be. You're not letting anyone down.

You're an awesome person with fun things to share with others and you're doing great! Never forget that.

Cody, take your time. You’re an awesome human and youtube will be there when you can get back to it.

Dude -you are like the only reason I still go on Youtube. I like the way you can explain complex topics in everyday terms and I also like that you have a wide variety of interests that you are willing to share. You have my support.

Brother, your doing great! I love your stuff. I know there is an algorithm but forget about that. Just give yourself a break and come back fresh.

21

You keep trucking dog, you don't owe us anything. You just keep doing you, I'll support you regardless

As with everyone else here, I'd rather you took your time to look after yourself first. Better to have the occasional awesome video than a lot of good videos that slowly chip away at your enjoyment of making them :)

Keep up the good work but more importantly, look after yourself first and foremost. We'll be here and on patreon watching whatever crazy things you do next.

Hey man I have some experience editing and would gladly take time to edit your vids for you. I would be sad for someone like you to get burnt out doing the non-sciency crap that comes with making hours of footage. Shoot me a pm if you're interested.

Edit: I forgot to say no charge! I'm not trying to make a buck just want to help out

What about hiring an editor to help out? You dont do anything complicated, so maybe being able to spend more time on filming content and less on editing you can get a few more videos out to make up for the cost of the editor.
