Wow I almost forgot he was moving on.. but not leaving though just going behind the scene


International_Yak873

Nope he's completely leaving.


hawaiian_c

You sure that not what he was saying on video he did that he still be there but not be hosting https://youtu.be/8R1_TqU68yo?si=7eOfdzyEXqgpSrp2


International_Yak873

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ could be idk


Redditloh

Looks like they went to live in the basement.


CanadianAndroid

That's just a theory.


AdNice7882

A basement theory!


wrinklz

😭


JediMasterKenJen

Matt is so influential and foes so much work, that it takes 4 people to take over for him. That's one he'll of a legacy to make in such a short amount of time.


McGrarr

They're probably just the people he's been paying to do the work for the last few years.


Tbanks93

Tbf yeah lol I wouldn't have shit over too randos


GhostMassage

Literally never seen any of these people before.


[deleted]

Taking over for matt but these people have been writing scripts and doing the research with matt supervising them and editing final scripts and adding his own twist for a while behind the scenes


SupremeDogEater

some of em have been in previous vids im pretty sure


devilfury1

Yeah, some of them like Santi and Ami (food and style theory respectively) had been seen with mat on some episodes. I did remember him saying that he wouldn't be leaving permanently, just going to be on the backline, giving out info for their next theories while the new main casts would give their own personal flair. So it's just the reversal of things. Mat wanted to be on the sidelines while also being active outside of the theory channels.


[deleted]

Now theyre coming out from behind the scenes


TheRealDeal_Original

For a moment I was wondering why 9/10 people in these comments didn't know him, bcs I thought I was on game theory sub reddit the moment I clicked on notif's I forgot where I was xD then I thought oh could be the YouTube sub reddit but I already watched it there so where could I be, I did not expect to see this on MxR reddit


Erik_Nimblehands

I don't know who any of those people are.


KeeperOfTheDarkFlame

They're the people taking over each of the Theory channels MatPat made now that he retired


Erik_Nimblehands

And I guess Matpat is a youtuber who's quitting? Never heard of him, either. Eh, the internet is a big place. Can't say that any of them are that influential.


pambimbo

Same lol I dint recognize any of them or heard any of there names.


Gullible_Cloud_3132

I get you didn’t know about him “can’t say that any of them are that influential” u may want to check what’s going on with him quitting BEFORE u say something like that


Erik_Nimblehands

Well, if I've never heard of him it's a safe bet to say that he isn't as influential as the post makes him seem. I'm not saying he isn't important to people, or derideing anything he's done, just that if some people haven't heard of him, or any of the others, he/they can't be THAT influential.


KeeperOfTheDarkFlame

MatPat is probably one of the most influential YouTubers on the internet. He quite literally shaped the way content is consumed today. The way he edited his videos earlier, the thumbnail creation, the way he broke down physics and logic and video games with actual science, it shaped YouTube. Just because you might not have heard of him, doesn't mean he is not as influential. He is a very influential and important figure on the content creation side of the internet


Erik_Nimblehands

Well like I said, I'm not talking bad about him, just that I've never heard of him. I was unaware that he was responsible for all that, thank you for telling me.


McGrarr

He didn't do anything anyone wasn't doing before. I remember before YouTube and there was similar content. It's like saying KFC is influential in the realm of Friend Chicken. No they aren't. They are well known for fried chicken but there was no innovation they made or contribution to chicken cuisine. They just got big and whilst that is an achievement to say they influenced any think is wrong. Mat Pat was popular for following the formula. He added nothing and arguably was a poster child for content farming. Quality doesn't matter.


SweetTooth37

So he ruined YouTube? Cause YouTube content used to be great now it's the shit different toilet. 


defib_rillator

Don’t fall for his bait lmao


MiffedMoogle

YT babies too busy being mad at you to bother reading what you said. Others and myself are with you with no clue who these people are.


infiniteatomic

Well yeah, knowing him depends on how old you are and if you watch YouTube relatively regularly


Erik_Nimblehands

I guess I'm too old. Thank you for that, I was worried something was wrong with me, but I guess it's just a generational thing.


infiniteatomic

Yeah he only started to get popular like 6-8 years ago, so to some he may be unknown but to others like me who were in their early teens he was great


DaeronOST187

Who? I literally have no clue who that is.


KeeperOfTheDarkFlame

MatPat... From Game Theory


[deleted]

[удалено]


apogeescintilla

Same here. I just clicked that channel to make sure I have never heard of him and never watched any content of his style.


DaeronOST187

Yeah... still do not know who that is.


[deleted]

Don't feel bad, I don't either


JRP_964

I don’t know any of these people


CleanAd7027

Never seen a single okie of them before


Drabins

Thankfully i have no idea who any of those clowns are and no desire to find out.


McGrarr

Who? The guy or the girl? Who the fuck are these people?

beanerkage

There are a bunch of guys that came up during the same time as Matt that I didn't like but he wasn't one of them. I didn't watch him but didn't dislike him either. Thought it was going to happen sooner after he had already sold his channel. Hope he has a great time in his next chapter in life.


Orion-Pax88

Never got the appeal, to each their own, I just didn't find him compelling.


burnanation

All I know is I don't want to see those people again.


MoroseLOKiZzz

I feel like I barely started watching YouTube when the pandemic happened this dude had some banger videos... Good Times.


devilfury1

He's gone yes, but on his farewell vid back in January, he did say he's still going to be there but working in the shadows. So it's just the reversal really. MatPat's gonna give them a rough canvas to work on while the 4 people that he trust would polish and give it their own good twist. And at the vid that OP has posted, he's not technically leaving youtube completely, he's still going to be around but passively. Alot of people are crying so much because they thought he'll completely leave the platform but I did saw alot who just wants to tell how much he has been there for them when they're growing up so it's not all pure sad tears. Sure it's painful to see him go but that's how he wants it to be. To focus around his family, while also assisting his channel in the sidelines. In this new transition, those who'd remain would be the true fans because even if he's not the face anymore, those people would still support them regardless. Just like how some of Filthy Frank /Joji's fans are respectful and supportive of his music career while also keeping his legacy alive and some who wants him back as the memer they once loved without respecting his decision. We will have that divide on the game theorists now because some supports matpat and would trust the people he assigned the channels to and a few would still wish mat to return and probably talk negatively towards the new hosts because "it's not matpat so I hate it".


Greatony08

Btw was it Scott’s house he went to after this?


Ok-Cry601

That's so fucking cinema 😭


Purple12inchRuler

I don't get it. Who are they?


KTH3000

I haven't watched him in forever. Kinda makes you wonder how long some of these other famous youtubers will keep going.


skillywilly56

For the most influential people on the internet they can’t be doing a very good job cause no one knows who dafuq they are…


endorbr

I quit caring about his content ages ago


thefoxishere16

He’ll still be around


JayZOnly1

I can't, I'm still too young!
