Exaggerated reports of Adam's retirement

Can’t believe Adam’s dead and has been replaced by his Clone, semi-retired-Adam-Ragusea

The most structured midlife crisis i've ever seen

He's slowly turning into Vsauce where he gradually gets weirder as time progresses and I'm all here for it.

In a parallel reality, British Empire Adam Ragusea has 10M Subs and is climbing to 20M.

There is such a gigantic difference between work you do because you lose everything if you don't and work you do because you WANT to. I hope one day all humanity will require only the latter.

> announced not trying to grow > gains subscribers anyway I'm callin it

All American workers should have at minimum: 24 paid days off annually just like every single EU country.

Honestly, more people should aspire to be semi-retired. Not that everyone would feel comfortable not growing, but i'm sure there are so many people trying to constantly grow that would feel so much better just... not growing

The amount of sleazy sales guys, algorithm consultants, and wanna be agents that independent content creators must have deal with on a weekly basis must be exhausting, never mind trying to hit on the next viral thing. 5 years in that is a freaking lifetime.

Congrats on your private island life, we'll miss you!

I've been watching adam ragusea's videos since middle school and now I'm in university. I've been here long enough to witness everything: the pizza/steak video, the cutting board meme, the white wine meme, the ytp videos to the whole array of recipes from the old to the new kitchen. The nerdy, sciency food videos are one of my favs imho, and the podcasts used to be part of my weekly routine too. Enjoy your semi-retirement adam, you've been amazing, and I'll still be following whatever you have to upload

This might be the most spiritually intelligent thing I've heard in a while. Keep up the declining fight Adam!

I think you've nailed the pace of these vlog-style videos. The ADHD tangents, the location changes, the strategically-placed partial-nudity... ; )

Hey Adam, That must be terrible dealing with all the confusion regarding your semi-retirement, it must be stressful dealing with literally thousands of people speculating about you and perhaps being hostile to something you consider just a basic announcement. As viewers, we sometimes lose site of the humanity of content creators and as a result our interactions suffer. Thanks for teaching me, a single dude who is barely becoming an adult how to cook healthy and delicious food in a interesting and creative way along with millions of other people. Every one is a student of something everyday, it's a heavy achievement to be a teacher and to teach as many people as you have. Best regards and all the luck in your future endeavors.

Adam, you are truly one of the most thoughtful, genuine, and intelligent people I’ve come across on any public-facing media platform. You’re a gem. Keep doing you, you’ve got this on lock.

This dude is losing it and that’s fine. We’re all losing it.

Managed decline, I like that. I am doing that with my current business as I am working towards moving to a different country!

The internet is a strange place... Keep making your amazing content Adam!

i thought i noticed an increase of videos after your semi-retirement video. i went to comment about this but looked back at your channel and realised this wasn't actually true. perhaps the video made me notice a decline in quantity that i hadn't actually realised before. maybe this explains some of the 'accusations'. nice video! the editing was great
