You're looking much healthier now mate, so based on that alone I'd say you've made the right choice. YT really can be a brutal grind and it's certainly not for everyone, so good on you for recognizing that and making the necessary changes, I know it can't have been easy. Good luck with the new job and I hope we can still catch up from time to time and play some Fortnite :D
@@bigturkey1 Its amazing how you came here to show the toxic-immaturity that more than likely helped lead to poor Timmy's breakdown/exiting the platform, just in case ppl didn't understand how damned awful it can get (like coming to a video discussing someone's mental health and future plans to rant about immature fanboy bullshit that not one mature person gives a solitary fuck about). If anyone didn't understand how disgusting ppl here can be you sure helped illustrate that. Nice...
Did UA-cam full time Dec 2020-Mar 2021. Working alone and constantly churning out UA-cam content during the shortage burnt me out, so I silently stopped uploading in early April and looked for a full time job. I was scared and saddened to tell people too so I just let it be. I started work in June and I love it. Just like you said - the benefits, consistent schedule, steady paycheck, and working with other people are fabulous. These are all things I lacked with full time UA-cam. I realized that I enjoy making content, but making it my means of living sucks out the fun. I just do it as a side hobby now, almost like when I first started. Much better for me. It’s a hard decision to let go of something you’ve put so many hours in, but at the end of the day it’s the right choice sometimes. I needed the 5 month break to recoup & clear my head. I’m so glad to hear you’re doing well TJ! ♥️ Thanks for sharing your story
I should have mentioned you. You have been a good friend through out. I am happy you're figuring it out. I hope we can meet up some day at LTX 202X and bro hug it out. Have a good one Oz!
The anxiety videos were a definite clue. I will always miss your approach in making videos, but am glad to know you are doing alright. Stay strong and just like Timmy Joe's Channel, I will be right here watching your videos if you decide to come back to share your expertise.
Sorry to see you go, but so happy you're doing what's right for you. Whatever you wind up doing, I wish you and your family all the best. Cheers, brother!
Your a class act man, really you are. And Timmy Joe will be sadly missed by myself and many others. But at the same time man, celebrated for what he’s done in this space. He really did his own thing with a very huge fingerprint on all of his content. So happy he’s doing what makes him happy. Thinking about hoping on here and doing some random content Nothing professional The two of you are a huge catalyst for doing so. Cheers to you both And take care
That would be cool! Maybe you could just take your time making the occasional weekend video as a hobby and not worry about the money or the haters. We would all hate to see you completely leave permanently, but we also completely understand and wish you the best of luck with whatever you choose to do.
I can totally relate, that must have been a tough decision, I hope you are doing better now. For me, it was not so much about the pandemic, I had family reasons that pushed me out of the content creation-- turned out despite hard times, it was just healthy to get out of this UA-cam "loop". It's hard when you're doing it all on your own and trying to make something professional out of it, difficult to keep it healthy, you keep pushing yourself and end up sacrificing way too much without even realizing. I feel EXACTLY the same about ads, I hated doing them and felt they ruined my videos-- especially considering smaller channels mostly gets offers from crappy sponsors you don't really feel proud of making ads for. It's tough, because you have to make the channel profitable, so you start looking around and feel like you should do like others, but not everyone can feel good about this. It's forced, it feels bad, it sucks, I mostly turned these crap sponsors away, rather keep my pride than try to sell stuff I don't believe in. I feel the same about doing content on the same/similar parts-- once it's done, it's done! Having to refresh just because UA-cam needs constant uploads is ridiculous. If you can continue motivated on that, yeap, more power to you, but I can't, I think it's stupid. I think YT content creation is still going to drive a lot of people insane, sometimes a FORCED BREAK is the only way for you to see how much better off you are. My best wishes, hopefully there will be some random crap here every once in a while!
Damn, dude. I'm really saddened by this. I really hope you continue to post at least somewhat, even if they're just streams and random eBay pc videos, videos of you gaming with your kid, etc. You're a good dude Jimmy Toe, hope things get better with you and everything. EDIT - I don't mean "I hope you continue to make content so that I, some random person, can continue to be entertained by you", what I mean is that don't be a stranger. Lots of people here genuinely care about you and your wellbeing. Hopefully we still see you update on Twitter at the minimum, or whatever. Hell, sometimes that can drain someone, so it's totally understandable. Best of luck in this crazy world, man.
@@twizz420 Lmfao. Wow dude, way to misinterpret everything I said. I genuinely have no words. Not even my entertainment. My entertainment comes from TV series, movies, and my plants. Not so much TJ. What I was implying was in the future after getting things taken care of, that maybe we'd still hear from him from time to time to see that he's doing okay. Some of us in the community care more than just the videos. Hence why I said the videos I did, because they're funny, lighthearted videos that are more personable than the ones that take forever to produce and put together. Streaming is not the same as making videos. Being able to talk with somebody while doing something, is not the same as creating a video with a set topic that requires lots of time, money, and effort. But hey, what should I expect in the age of offeded dipshits. This isn't a "YOU ARE MY ENTERTAINER HOW DARE YOU TRY TO LEAVE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF YOURSELF, YOU NEED TO ENTERTAIN ME MORE!!" you waste of resources. Stop reading into things more than what's actually there. All that was implied was that I hope he doesn't disappear from the community entirely because lots of us genuinely care about the dude and would like to know from time to time how he's holding up. Go crawl back under the rock you came out of.
@@twizz420 and yet when you make videos on UA-cam, your doing what? Mailing videos that entertain people 😑 You can make videos for your love of course but if you want to make in this platform, you have to entertain people Hence why he’s probably quitting because often times it’s not worth it. I know myself and others are super supportive and absolutely want his mental heath to come first, but there’s nothing wrong with saying every now and then check back in…..there’s nothing wrong with what he said.
@@tylerroberts5012 Dude, thank you for understanding my viewpoint. I've watched TJ for the last.... I think about 3-4yrs? somewhere around then, and he's been such a great dude the entire time. Has a wonderful personality, he's personable with his audience, and he's an all around good guy. I just hope I get to see him in the future every now and again to see how he's hanging in there, yknow? I appreciate you understanding.
Thank you for making this. This is exactly what people needed to hear. You will always be my most watched/most enjoyed computer tech reviewer. (I still go through your content regularly if that says anything) You truly left a mark in this space and I'm glad we were all apart of it. Good luck to you and your family for whatever life may bring. If ever you get want to come back your fans will be here to watch. Love ya buddy!
@@TimmyJoePCTech hey, I really don't want to see you go. The shortage is probably going to be over in 9 months. (6 months intel gpu, add 3 months for full scale release) also TSMC has full supply coming in again, takes usually 8 months to ramp up supply to normal. So if I were you, just take a break for 9 months.
To your point about working UA-cam alone: it sucks. My solution was to create a community of YT collaborators in your space and it’s totally changed my life. If you ever come back, stay in touch with your space, and maybe you’ll enjoy it more the second time around!
We needed this video Timmy Joe. As a dude myself turning 40 next year, your reasoning makes perfect sense. You did some awesome stuff and you should be proud of what you achieved. All the best for your future plans.
You came, you conquered, and now you’re preparing for you’re future. It’s good to hear having a schedule and normal routine is a having a positive effect on you’re life, mental health and your family’s future. Just wanted to say thank you for all the laughs and entertainment you’ve provided for years now. Hopefully in the future you’ll come back and make a couple of videos about computers on the internet again when things get better. Take it easy man 👍
I've got to say. I've been a long time viewer and I'm honestly a bit sad about this as you were one of the most refreshing and entertaining presenters. But, go where your heart lies man and don't look back. Do what is best for yourself and your family. You have left your mark on this platform and you're leaving behind a library of work you should be proud of. Take care of yourself.
Thank you Tim for the content you've created over the years, sometime life just takes you where it takes you. IMO your choice to go for the job offer is a good one, one I can relate to. So best wishes to you TJ, where ever life takes you from here :)
Thank you for providing your story about your passion in computer building over the years. I’ll await your return to this forum or another channel in the future down the road. Plus, it’s does provide a realization for many new content creators to learn from your experiences. Thank you for always doing your best to price hunt those bargain buys for us all.
Hey man I'm the same way. I go hard on certain things for spurts: Tech/PC'S/Servers, then DooM & retro gaming, Analog Synthesis & music production, classic/vintage PC'S, Law & Government... With those things, I end up dedicating time very similar to how you explained. Large chunks of time (many months to a year+ ), then I get more interested in one of the other things and dive back into that. Rinse & repeat my entire life. I'm in my 40's now, and the most important thing I've learned in my life is: Do what makes YOU happy and feel fulfilled in your life. To hell with anyone else that wants to dump on you or be negative. Do your thing. Yourself & family always first. We only get one life. Do that makes you happy 😁 Cheers.
Always liked and appreciated your videos and your style of making them most of all. I hope everything works out well for you and your family, but do take care of your health. Cheers!
Honestly man I get it. I feel the same way about the PC space right now. I used to love helping my friends build computers on the cheap and the reason I loved your channel is you were using older hardware but testing it on on modern titles so it was easy to check to see how the older tech was stacking up. I am sorry to see you go but I get why it's literally impossible to continue. I wish you all the best! Good luck with all your future endeavors and hope to see you uploading new stuff that interests you!
Glad you're in a better place, Timmy Joe. I'll miss seeing your smiling face making computer content, your humor, and just your working man take on things... But it's not fair to keep doing something that doesn't make you happy. Glad you made the change and that you're finding a way forward. Keep 'er sleezy, man. Hope to see you doing funny shit with computers again in the future.
Thanks for everything boss. I really enjoyed & appreciate your content and all the help along the way during the previous years. As long as you're in a good space mentally, physically, and emotionally that's the only thing that really matters. I'll support you through that as well. One love my guy!
thanks for the video I'm going through a lot and have to quit something I really like (I don't have any other choice really). Seeing you doing the same makes the pain a lot less. I really liked your channel and your quirky contents. Whatever you do, hopefully you'll be better!
Thanks for updating us TJ. I'm so glad to hear you are doing well. Thank you for the hard work you put into your channel, I've enjoyed watching your vids and will stay subscribed for whatever "random crap" you wanna throw up here.
Breaks my heart that one of my favorite pc youtubers will be out of the so called game, but from the bottom of my heart I thank you for the amazing time that you have not only entertained me but informed me over some of the most wacky and traumatic times in my life going from college to fulI blown adulthood while moving across the country in a pandemic. I wish you all the best and glad that you have gained some happiness back in the crazy world we live in. I think I can speak for all of us that we'll miss you man but we're all glad for you.
Thanks for the entertainment! I'll be waiting for your return. Don't feel like you have to come back making computer videos man, you can always come back with other new stuff you're passionate about. A big part of what brought me to your stuff was just your personality. Take care friend. see you soon.
I came across your channel while looking for info on the Fury X. Loved your channel ever since. Best of luck to you man. Hope you know you're appreciated and have so many people that want you to soar.
Tpbmods from BC, Canada here. I just want to stop by and say THANK YOU! Thank you for the years of enjoyable viewing... But I also want to say and even Bigger Thank You for doing the right thing for you and walking away from it all. Its fantastic to hear you're in a better place in your life, and anyone who has anything negative to say about that can go fk their own toque. Much love my dude, Keep on being awesome, and I hope to see you back every once in awhile
you will always be one of my favorite youtubers, wish you well in the future boss, and feel free to share any zany projexts you might be working on, those were always my favorite videos
Glad to see you healthier and happier! A routine can do wonders for the mind. I'll be keeping notifications on in case you do drop a random video 😁 All the best for the future! 🙏
Tim... I hope you well, and hope you would re-think and return. Your videos are awesome, you bring people knowledge and good mood. You brought smile to my face every time you posted new vids.
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises I did not say SOME , I said GOOD . Tims vid always will bring smile ! Not only they are humorous but also bring some interesting knowledge, even to those who are not "Initiate".
In the short time I had to watch your videos after I found your channel, I enjoyed them tremendously and I found you very likeable. I was concerned the first time your videos slowed down and when you explained your medical issue you were dealing with. The second time, I honestly felt like if you weren't making videos, it was for your own good. As someone I like I was glad whether you were making a video or not, because I felt like you were doing it or not based on your needs and not someone else's or some feeling of obligation. You look great now, andd I'm very glad you are happier. you are very wise to think more about long-term goals and issues over short-term possible (if only thinly possible) gains, and I know that as someone notably older than you are I wish I had done the same by your age. Keep making yourself healthier. If making more videos becomes something you end up wanting to do again, I know I for one will be here to watch. (If you're going to put them somewhere else, please do let us know here so we can find them?) Thanks for the fun, the information, and for getting and keeping yourself healthy! You're a good person, Timmy Joe!
I also work in parts, I have a hard time finding joy in this job, but i'm glad you do, keep it up! Additionally, I had a VERY easy time finding where you're working, in case you're concerned about that. Have fun with those old day cabs!
I hope once you get settled in,stable, and when covid ends. You get back into it as a hobby. You always were one of the first tech tubers I looked forward to watch new videos and have a laugh and a good time.
Hey mate just wanted to say I loved your videos - your take on things and also how open you were with your medical episode. I recently had one myself - I thankfully wasn't sick but It's caused me panic attacks and general anxiety everyday since - the reaction I had was massive panic attack, seeing and hearing things that weren't there. This was after I watched your video - I probably should've also been more careful. Much love man and I hope the new job and life changes works out for the best - take care.
How is this maturing? So looking after yourself is maturing? There was nothing immature about what he was doing in the first place. He saw he was not making enough money, stressed out, had medical episode and then decided to just get a job. That's not maturing my friend, its common sense. He ain't 4.
Honestly, If you kept up making a video every month or 2 I'd be happy haha. I've seen a lot of channels with irregular upload schedules (sometimes months in between) and the videos always seem to do great. Maybe something to think about, either way wish you all the best!
Was very happy to find you, your energy, your humor, your knowledge, and count myself lucky for doing so. All respect to you for your decisions and choices, wish you all the success!
I’m glad your leaving your pc content up because it’s awesome and definitely useful and informative forever. It sucks all this bs in the economy happened right after you made a big move to go bigger on UA-cam and it’s clearly something that made way more stress on you as well. Everything you have done is completely understandable and nobody should have an issue with it.
Its really sad to see you go. I loved watching your videos and it inspired me to start up my own computer business and completely change my current career path from welding to computers. You along with other youtubers videos helped me learn, and understand much of the things I needed to know to get started in this new field. I do understand where your coming from, and your doing what you think is best for you as you should. I do hope one day to see you make a comeback on youtube, and I genuinely wish you the best of luck Timmy Joe!
Timmy, Even your last video is helping some one. I went thru borderline CHS for all the same reasons you did( day 7 today ) and have worked from home where I am isolated and never around ppl. Seeing you have the ability to put that behind you and move on for the sake of your mental health is inspiring. Much respect bro!
Being healthy and happy is the most important thing (I'm old and found out the hard way). Now when you post random stuff, as a hobby instead of as a job, we'll all be around to watch it still anyway :)
Much love Timmy Joe, Ive been whatching you for awhile. I always looked Forward you your videos. i notice all the love from your peers, love that. anyway i hope your happy and well in this new stage in life. We wish you all the luck..
Going to miss you Timmy Joe. Your videos were such welcomed escape and respite during the worst of COVID lockdowns here in Oregon. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors. I haven’t built a gaming Pc since I was in high school, but a friend sold me his 2070 Super and I am jumping back in. Your videos were a part of that decision and now I will be able to build a Pc with my son. He is so excited, and your videos helped me take the leap to teaching him. Thank you.
For what it's worth, I'll miss seeing your videos, but you being happy and productive in ways that mean something to you far outweighs that. Very glad to hear things are going well for you, and if you ever decide to do part-time/weekend content, I'll be there, but again, you do you man. All the best for the upcoming holiday season!
Love your work Timmy Joe. Was just thinking about you yesterday and where you went. I was hoping you were OK. Your videos really helped me out over the years and I'm grateful for all your hard work. I'm happy for you mate.
I understand everything, and want you to know I appreciate all the videos you have put up over your time on yt. You have always been an amazing creator, and I've enjoyed all your videos. Its been an honor to watch your videos.
Man, Im so glad you touch based with your fans! I wish all well with you. I'm subbed maybe well catch you one day. Hopefully things change in this messed up market. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future brings and hope to see you there. Take care you will be missed.
Thanks man, all the best for the future. Have really enjoyed all your Xeon content over the years, most yt'ers are too scared to admit that there's value in an old hpet! We'll miss your content but complete respect for your decision
Best of luck. Loved your show and love your honesty and being up front. Hope you return in some capacity in the future. Even if it's part time. If not, then just do what's best for you.
I seen so many of your vids I feel like your are a friend... miss you on here, but hope you are well... Wishing you the best in all you do!!! Good luck!
I hope things are going better for you bro, im hoping my time comes where ill be able to be something in life. i just found your channel today and wish i came across it sooner because i really enjoy your content. Good luck with you future travels in life.
glad to hear you're doing well man! You always seemed like an awesome dude and im glad you are doing whats good for you. I wish the best for you man and hope you have a great happy life
I feel this, my own computer support stuff dried up with covid as well. You gotta do what is best for you dude. Keep moving forward. Thank you for the quality entertainment over the time I was subbed.
This just came up at random and I had to watch it to the end, I really respect you for doing what you have done and wish you great success with your new career.
This video showed up randomly on my recommended but props to you for making it. It's good that you could talk about it, instead of just vanishing and leaving your channel dead forever. I appreciate that you admitted it's no longer for you, and I applaud you for not bending your morals/ethic and keeping the ads away. I certainly wish that you will continue making videos here and there though, if you will find the passion for it again. Cheers!
I wish only the best for you, thanks for the honesty with all of us. You didn't had to do that and it only shows the respect you have for all your viewers and how humble you are. Big hug from Portugal, hope you wake up everyday feeling happy and motivated.
I love you videos. So sad to see you go, but thank you for bringing so many people together with your channel, you affected alot of people in a very positive way. Thank you, and good luck to you, on your ventures through life.
Thank you for for all the fun you bring along the way. I was sad to see you go. But after watching this video, I am very happy for you that you are living a better life now. Thank you for making this video, because there are so many others that just left without a trace. And I do wish you and your family the very best onward.
Was good to see you TimmyJoe, was watching your vids since 2018. Still will continue to watch even if it is just you saying hi from time to time. Keep it up 💗
Hey bud, you do what is best for YOU and YOUR family. I am sad I will no longer receive your content anymore as I really enjoyed your character and person spin on things but I can TOTALLY understand your reasons! I started my channel when things were "good" in mid 2019 under the same kind of niche your channel identified as, to appeal to the budget side of tech. That obviously is insanely hard to do anymore these days even more now as a small channel that doesn't have the big contracts to keep it running, as you mentioned. Keep doing YOU man and what you need to do to create the best life for you and your family. I'll always stay subscribed for the chance to catch your next video drop when ever you decide to make one AND you having done so stress free!. Best wishes brother!
I and every one thank you for the content you made I hope to see some more from you some day. you weighed your options and chose the best future for you and your family. good luck and stay happy.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You do you. If you like working along people with schedule in mind then that's what you gotta do. I still remember the video you made where you had more subs than people in a town you live in. Good luck and I hope to see some videos here and there from you
I'm sorry to see you go Timmy, you were fun to watch with your take on the older equipment and even with the newer equipment. It's a shame to see you go but at the end of the day, you have a kid to worry about you have your health and you have your future to worry about. I wish you the best brother.
Just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed your tech videos and they helped me learn quite a few things that gave me the confidence to build my own computer from scratch. You were really fun to watch and I wish you the very best in all your future endevors.
You quickly became my favorite tech channel on UA-cam. I'm sorry to see you go but understand why you're doing it. Best of luck in all your endeavors. Thanks for all the fun videos you've done over the years. You gave a little joy to a lot of people.
Sorry to see you go from UA-cam I loved your humor and insight. Having said that I think your health is more important. I am happy you found a job and that you like it. Best of luck and I hope that you return to UA-cam again someday.
I totally get the vibe. My love of all things hardware and what you could do for $250 was the driving force of why I loved hardware and your channel. Take care of you & that fam.
Hey man! I’ve always been a fan ever since I met you at the skatepark with the brail record skateboard. You’ve always done good things, may be local to me but I’ve always loved your content brother. Hard work makes the dream work, do what makes you happy.
You gotta do what's best for you. I'll miss your regular videos but I'm glad you're doing better. Best of luck with the new job and thanks for all your videos.
hindsight is always 20/20 my friend. im glad to see you looking alot better. do whatever you need to do for yourself, your family, and especially your mental health. WE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE. never feel like you need to make content. but if you ever decide to make a video we will be here :) sending positive vibes from Toronto.
*I loved your videos and its sad to see you go, but there are more important things in life, take care of yourself and i hope everything works out for you!*
You're looking much healthier now mate, so based on that alone I'd say you've made the right choice. YT really can be a brutal grind and it's certainly not for everyone, so good on you for recognizing that and making the necessary changes, I know it can't have been easy. Good luck with the new job and I hope we can still catch up from time to time and play some Fortnite :D

You and Timmy Joe are two of my favorite REAL DUDES! I just want you both to do well in life. I'll miss your content, but I'd rather you be happy.
Sorry to see you go, but so happy you're doing what's right for you. Whatever you wind up doing, I wish you and your family all the best. Cheers, brother!
Your a class act man, really you are.
And Timmy Joe will be sadly missed by myself and many others.
But at the same time man, celebrated for what he’s done in this space.
He really did his own thing with a very huge fingerprint on all of his content.
So happy he’s doing what makes him happy.
Thinking about hoping on here and doing some random content
Nothing professional
The two of you are a huge catalyst for doing so.
Cheers to you both
And take care
Sorry to see you go, best of luck in the future, family and health first.
Bro - do some PC stuff vids on the weekend! You were absolutely one of the best gpu overclockers / reviewers out there.
👍🏆
“Timmy Joes weekend yo”
That would be cool! Maybe you could just take your time making the occasional weekend video as a hobby and not worry about the money or the haters. We would all hate to see you completely leave permanently, but we also completely understand and wish you the best of luck with whatever you choose to do.
I can totally relate, that must have been a tough decision, I hope you are doing better now. For me, it was not so much about the pandemic, I had family reasons that pushed me out of the content creation-- turned out despite hard times, it was just healthy to get out of this UA-cam "loop". It's hard when you're doing it all on your own and trying to make something professional out of it, difficult to keep it healthy, you keep pushing yourself and end up sacrificing way too much without even realizing. I feel EXACTLY the same about ads, I hated doing them and felt they ruined my videos-- especially considering smaller channels mostly gets offers from crappy sponsors you don't really feel proud of making ads for. It's tough, because you have to make the channel profitable, so you start looking around and feel like you should do like others, but not everyone can feel good about this. It's forced, it feels bad, it sucks, I mostly turned these crap sponsors away, rather keep my pride than try to sell stuff I don't believe in. I feel the same about doing content on the same/similar parts-- once it's done, it's done! Having to refresh just because UA-cam needs constant uploads is ridiculous. If you can continue motivated on that, yeap, more power to you, but I can't, I think it's stupid. I think YT content creation is still going to drive a lot of people insane, sometimes a FORCED BREAK is the only way for you to see how much better off you are. My best wishes, hopefully there will be some random crap here every once in a while!
Thanks for sharing! I think COVID reset things for a lot of people, sort of making you realise what you really want.
No not for alot of people. Most people of been able to go about their lives unnefected it with minimal interruption for most.
sorry to see you go, enjoy your new job
gatta love the "new job" at the old job lol
Damn, dude. I'm really saddened by this. I really hope you continue to post at least somewhat, even if they're just streams and random eBay pc videos, videos of you gaming with your kid, etc. You're a good dude Jimmy Toe, hope things get better with you and everything.
EDIT - I don't mean "I hope you continue to make content so that I, some random person, can continue to be entertained by you", what I mean is that don't be a stranger. Lots of people here genuinely care about you and your wellbeing. Hopefully we still see you update on Twitter at the minimum, or whatever. Hell, sometimes that can drain someone, so it's totally understandable. Best of luck in this crazy world, man.
He literally just said he doesn't want to make videos anymore... Your entertainment doesn't come before his mental health ffs
@@twizz420 Lmfao. Wow dude, way to misinterpret everything I said. I genuinely have no words. Not even my entertainment. My entertainment comes from TV series, movies, and my plants. Not so much TJ. What I was implying was in the future after getting things taken care of, that maybe we'd still hear from him from time to time to see that he's doing okay. Some of us in the community care more than just the videos. Hence why I said the videos I did, because they're funny, lighthearted videos that are more personable than the ones that take forever to produce and put together. Streaming is not the same as making videos. Being able to talk with somebody while doing something, is not the same as creating a video with a set topic that requires lots of time, money, and effort.
But hey, what should I expect in the age of offeded dipshits. This isn't a "YOU ARE MY ENTERTAINER HOW DARE YOU TRY TO LEAVE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF YOURSELF, YOU NEED TO ENTERTAIN ME MORE!!" you waste of resources. Stop reading into things more than what's actually there. All that was implied was that I hope he doesn't disappear from the community entirely because lots of us genuinely care about the dude and would like to know from time to time how he's holding up.
Go crawl back under the rock you came out of.
@@twizz420 and yet when you make videos on UA-cam, your doing what? Mailing videos that entertain people 😑
You can make videos for your love of course but if you want to make in this platform, you have to entertain people Hence why he’s probably quitting because often times it’s not worth it. I know myself and others are super supportive and absolutely want his mental heath to come first, but there’s nothing wrong with saying every now and then check back in…..there’s nothing wrong with what he said.
@@tylerroberts5012 Dude, thank you for understanding my viewpoint. I've watched TJ for the last.... I think about 3-4yrs? somewhere around then, and he's been such a great dude the entire time. Has a wonderful personality, he's personable with his audience, and he's an all around good guy. I just hope I get to see him in the future every now and again to see how he's hanging in there, yknow? I appreciate you understanding.
Thank you for making this.
This is exactly what people needed to hear. You will always be my most watched/most enjoyed computer tech reviewer. (I still go through your content regularly if that says anything)
You truly left a mark in this space and I'm glad we were all apart of it.
Good luck to you and your family for whatever life may bring. If ever you get want to come back your fans will be here to watch. Love ya buddy!
Thank YOU :)
@@TimmyJoePCTech hey, I really don't want to see you go. The shortage is probably going to be over in 9 months. (6 months intel gpu, add 3 months for full scale release) also TSMC has full supply coming in again, takes usually 8 months to ramp up supply to normal.
So if I were you, just take a break for 9 months.
@@2000jalebi I realllllllllly doubt that. Here's hoping. But thanks for the love!!!
To your point about working UA-cam alone: it sucks. My solution was to create a community of YT collaborators in your space and it’s totally changed my life. If you ever come back, stay in touch with your space, and maybe you’ll enjoy it more the second time around!
Shut up FOMO! You Samsung fanboi!
We needed this video Timmy Joe. As a dude myself turning 40 next year, your reasoning makes perfect sense. You did some awesome stuff and you should be proud of what you achieved. All the best for your future plans.
You came, you conquered, and now you’re preparing for you’re future. It’s good to hear having a schedule and normal routine is a having a positive effect on you’re life, mental health and your family’s future. Just wanted to say thank you for all the laughs and entertainment you’ve provided for years now. Hopefully in the future you’ll come back and make a couple of videos about computers on the internet again when things get better. Take it easy man 👍
Well TJ, we will miss you. Good luck with the new job and stay in good health, sir.
Yeah, just my thoughts!!!
I've got to say. I've been a long time viewer and I'm honestly a bit sad about this as you were one of the most refreshing and entertaining presenters. But, go where your heart lies man and don't look back. Do what is best for yourself and your family. You have left your mark on this platform and you're leaving behind a library of work you should be proud of. Take care of yourself.
As one of your longest supporters on patreon, I really appreciate you man. I appreciate the honesty you've shown and I wish you the best.
You got 160k subs, you could post anything you want now and you still have an audience.
Damn, it was a fun ride with you man. I wish you the best of luck in the next steps in your life.
Thank you Tim for the content you've created over the years, sometime life just takes you where it takes you. IMO your choice to go for the job offer is a good one, one I can relate to. So best wishes to you TJ, where ever life takes you from here :)
Thank you for providing your story about your passion in computer building over the years. I’ll await your return to this forum or another channel in the future down the road. Plus, it’s does provide a realization for many new content creators to learn from your experiences. Thank you for always doing your best to price hunt those bargain buys for us all.
Hey man I'm the same way. I go hard on certain things for spurts: Tech/PC'S/Servers, then DooM & retro gaming, Analog Synthesis & music production, classic/vintage PC'S, Law & Government... With those things, I end up dedicating time very similar to how you explained. Large chunks of time (many months to a year+ ), then I get more interested in one of the other things and dive back into that. Rinse & repeat my entire life.
I'm in my 40's now, and the most important thing I've learned in my life is: Do what makes YOU happy and feel fulfilled in your life. To hell with anyone else that wants to dump on you or be negative. Do your thing. Yourself & family always first.
We only get one life. Do that makes you happy 😁
Cheers.
Nice to see your health seems a lot better after that horrible medical reaction.
Agree. But wasnt it because of drugs and not medical?
@@DanielFrost79 yes and no, it was a seemingly rare reaction to marajuana that took awhile to recover from.
@@gtragle1 Ahh, i saw the video about that. Thanks.
That video seems to be gone now
@@VandelayIndustries1982 Yeah. He explained why in this video aswell. 🖖
Always liked and appreciated your videos and your style of making them most of all.
I hope everything works out well for you and your family, but do take care of your health.
Cheers!
Honestly man I get it. I feel the same way about the PC space right now. I used to love helping my friends build computers on the cheap and the reason I loved your channel is you were using older hardware but testing it on on modern titles so it was easy to check to see how the older tech was stacking up. I am sorry to see you go but I get why it's literally impossible to continue. I wish you all the best! Good luck with all your future endeavors and hope to see you uploading new stuff that interests you!
Sad to see you go loved your content from a fellow Canadian. Hope you do well in everything that comes your way
Glad you're in a better place, Timmy Joe. I'll miss seeing your smiling face making computer content, your humor, and just your working man take on things... But it's not fair to keep doing something that doesn't make you happy. Glad you made the change and that you're finding a way forward. Keep 'er sleezy, man. Hope to see you doing funny shit with computers again in the future.
Thanks for everything boss. I really enjoyed & appreciate your content and all the help along the way during the previous years. As long as you're in a good space mentally, physically, and emotionally that's the only thing that really matters. I'll support you through that as well. One love my guy!
thanks for the video
I'm going through a lot and have to quit something I really like (I don't have any other choice really). Seeing you doing the same makes the pain a lot less. I really liked your channel and your quirky contents. Whatever you do, hopefully you'll be better!
Thank you so much for your content over the years TJ. All the best for the future. Much love.
Thanks for updating us TJ. I'm so glad to hear you are doing well. Thank you for the hard work you put into your channel, I've enjoyed watching your vids and will stay subscribed for whatever "random crap" you wanna throw up here.
I appreciate that you shared this, I'm glad you are doing what is best for you. Much love and best of luck to the future!
Glad you're OK Timmy, totally understand the choices! Thanks for the awesome content over the last few years and the best of luck to you!
Breaks my heart that one of my favorite pc youtubers will be out of the so called game, but from the bottom of my heart I thank you for the amazing time that you have not only entertained me but informed me over some of the most wacky and traumatic times in my life going from college to fulI blown adulthood while moving across the country in a pandemic. I wish you all the best and glad that you have gained some happiness back in the crazy world we live in. I think I can speak for all of us that we'll miss you man but we're all glad for you.
Thanks for the entertainment! I'll be waiting for your return.
Don't feel like you have to come back making computer videos man, you can always come back with other new stuff you're passionate about. A big part of what brought me to your stuff was just your personality.
Take care friend. see you soon.
I have always enjoyed your videos man. Wishing you the best of luck at your next stage in life
I came across your channel while looking for info on the Fury X. Loved your channel ever since. Best of luck to you man. Hope you know you're appreciated and have so many people that want you to soar.
Tpbmods from BC, Canada here.
I just want to stop by and say THANK YOU! Thank you for the years of enjoyable viewing...
But I also want to say and even Bigger Thank You for doing the right thing for you and walking away from it all.
Its fantastic to hear you're in a better place in your life, and anyone who has anything negative to say about that can go fk their own toque.
Much love my dude, Keep on being awesome, and I hope to see you back every once in awhile
thank you for everything you did in the channel, Tim. So long partner.
you will always be one of my favorite youtubers, wish you well in the future boss, and feel free to share any zany projexts you might be working on, those were always my favorite videos
Best of luck timmy! stay Healthy. From a avid fan of you're work!
Glad to see you healthier and happier! A routine can do wonders for the mind.
I'll be keeping notifications on in case you do drop a random video 😁 All the best for the future! 🙏
Tim... I hope you well, and hope you would re-think and return. Your videos are awesome, you bring people knowledge and good mood. You brought smile to my face every time you posted new vids.
SOME MOOD ?????
This is misunderstanding!!!!
A lot of it !!!
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises I did not say SOME , I said GOOD . Tims vid always will bring smile ! Not only they are humorous but also bring some interesting knowledge, even to those who are not "Initiate".
@@vakhokuchuashvili3701
Indeed!!!
I've been very sad to see TJ leaving the UA-cam...
@@DuneRunnerEnterprises me too dude... and I think we are not the only ones sad, I think all TJs subscribers are sad, me and you included.
@@vakhokuchuashvili3701 Yeap 8....(
In the short time I had to watch your videos after I found your channel, I enjoyed them tremendously and I found you very likeable. I was concerned the first time your videos slowed down and when you explained your medical issue you were dealing with. The second time, I honestly felt like if you weren't making videos, it was for your own good. As someone I like I was glad whether you were making a video or not, because I felt like you were doing it or not based on your needs and not someone else's or some feeling of obligation. You look great now, andd I'm very glad you are happier. you are very wise to think more about long-term goals and issues over short-term possible (if only thinly possible) gains, and I know that as someone notably older than you are I wish I had done the same by your age. Keep making yourself healthier. If making more videos becomes something you end up wanting to do again, I know I for one will be here to watch. (If you're going to put them somewhere else, please do let us know here so we can find them?) Thanks for the fun, the information, and for getting and keeping yourself healthy! You're a good person, Timmy Joe!
I also work in parts, I have a hard time finding joy in this job, but i'm glad you do, keep it up! Additionally, I had a VERY easy time finding where you're working, in case you're concerned about that. Have fun with those old day cabs!
Hate to see you go buddy. You was the first computer tech I starting watching on UA-cam. Stay strong.
I hope once you get settled in,stable, and when covid ends. You get back into it as a hobby. You always were one of the first tech tubers I looked forward to watch new videos and have a laugh and a good time.
When covid ends. That's adorable.
I've watch some of your videos over the years. Sad to see you go. Wish you the best of luck!
Hey mate just wanted to say I loved your videos - your take on things and also how open you were with your medical episode. I recently had one myself - I thankfully wasn't sick but It's caused me panic attacks and general anxiety everyday since - the reaction I had was massive panic attack, seeing and hearing things that weren't there. This was after I watched your video - I probably should've also been more careful. Much love man and I hope the new job and life changes works out for the best - take care.
This is maturing and a process of life. I appreciate that you weighed your options and chose.
How is this maturing? So looking after yourself is maturing? There was nothing immature about what he was doing in the first place. He saw he was not making enough money, stressed out, had medical episode and then decided to just get a job. That's not maturing my friend, its common sense. He ain't 4.
Honestly, If you kept up making a video every month or 2 I'd be happy haha. I've seen a lot of channels with irregular upload schedules (sometimes months in between) and the videos always seem to do great. Maybe something to think about, either way wish you all the best!
Was very happy to find you, your energy, your humor, your knowledge, and count myself lucky for doing so. All respect to you for your decisions and choices, wish you all the success!
Thanks for making this video. This is something I have personally struggled with for so many years. I hope the best for you in your future endeavors.
I’m glad your leaving your pc content up because it’s awesome and definitely useful and informative forever. It sucks all this bs in the economy happened right after you made a big move to go bigger on UA-cam and it’s clearly something that made way more stress on you as well. Everything you have done is completely understandable and nobody should have an issue with it.
Timmy we will miss you. Good luck with the new job and stay in good health :D 💕
Its really sad to see you go. I loved watching your videos and it inspired me to start up my own computer business and completely change my current career path from welding to computers. You along with other youtubers videos helped me learn, and understand much of the things I needed to know to get started in this new field. I do understand where your coming from, and your doing what you think is best for you as you should. I do hope one day to see you make a comeback on youtube, and I genuinely wish you the best of luck Timmy Joe!
Timmy, Even your last video is helping some one. I went thru borderline CHS for all the same reasons you did( day 7 today ) and have worked from home where I am isolated and never around ppl. Seeing you have the ability to put that behind you and move on for the sake of your mental health is inspiring. Much respect bro!
Thank you for the videos!
Being healthy and happy is the most important thing (I'm old and found out the hard way). Now when you post random stuff, as a hobby instead of as a job, we'll all be around to watch it still anyway :)
Much love Timmy Joe, Ive been whatching you for awhile. I always looked Forward you your videos. i notice all the love from your peers, love that. anyway i hope your happy and well in this new stage in life. We wish you all the luck..
Going to miss you Timmy Joe. Your videos were such welcomed escape and respite during the worst of COVID lockdowns here in Oregon. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors. I haven’t built a gaming Pc since I was in high school, but a friend sold me his 2070 Super and I am jumping back in. Your videos were a part of that decision and now I will be able to build a Pc with my son. He is so excited, and your videos helped me take the leap to teaching him. Thank you.
Good luck Tim in your new adventure. Your videos always made me laugh and I learned tons from you. Keep well and good luck with the future.
Your vids have been fun and always made me chuckle. Good luck with you next adventure dude 👊
Thanks for all the vids TJ. It's been a blast. Glad you are in a better place in general man, and I wish you all the very best to you and yours!
Thank you for a lot of entertaining videos and content. Wish you all the best Timmy Joe. Fellow Canadian and well wisher.
Man, that's so sad, i am sorry to hear this, you are talented, always enjoyed your videos.
Miss you man! and i wish you the best! (just watched the surgery vid) I'm glad you are doing well
For what it's worth, I'll miss seeing your videos, but you being happy and productive in ways that mean something to you far outweighs that. Very glad to hear things are going well for you, and if you ever decide to do part-time/weekend content, I'll be there, but again, you do you man. All the best for the upcoming holiday season!
Love your work Timmy Joe. Was just thinking about you yesterday and where you went. I was hoping you were OK. Your videos really helped me out over the years and I'm grateful for all your hard work. I'm happy for you mate.
I understand everything, and want you to know I appreciate all the videos you have put up over your time on yt. You have always been an amazing creator, and I've enjoyed all your videos. Its been an honor to watch your videos.
Man, Im so glad you touch based with your fans! I wish all well with you.
I'm subbed maybe well catch you one day. Hopefully things change in this messed up market. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future brings and hope to see you there.
Take care you will be missed.
Thanks man, all the best for the future. Have really enjoyed all your Xeon content over the years, most yt'ers are too scared to admit that there's value in an old hpet! We'll miss your content but complete respect for your decision
Best of luck. Loved your show and love your honesty and being up front. Hope you return in some capacity in the future. Even if it's part time. If not, then just do what's best for you.
I seen so many of your vids I feel like your are a friend... miss you on here, but hope you are well... Wishing you the best in all you do!!! Good luck!
I hope things are going better for you bro, im hoping my time comes where ill be able to be something in life. i just found your channel today and wish i came across it sooner because i really enjoy your content. Good luck with you future travels in life.
glad to hear you're doing well man! You always seemed like an awesome dude and im glad you are doing whats good for you. I wish the best for you man and hope you have a great happy life
I feel this, my own computer support stuff dried up with covid as well. You gotta do what is best for you dude. Keep moving forward. Thank you for the quality entertainment over the time I was subbed.
This just came up at random and I had to watch it to the end, I really respect you for doing what you have done and wish you great success with your new career.
This video showed up randomly on my recommended but props to you for making it. It's good that you could talk about it, instead of just vanishing and leaving your channel dead forever. I appreciate that you admitted it's no longer for you, and I applaud you for not bending your morals/ethic and keeping the ads away.
I certainly wish that you will continue making videos here and there though, if you will find the passion for it again. Cheers!
I wish only the best for you, thanks for the honesty with all of us. You didn't had to do that and it only shows the respect you have for all your viewers and how humble you are.
Big hug from Portugal, hope you wake up everyday feeling happy and motivated.
I love you videos. So sad to see you go, but thank you for bringing so many people together with your channel, you affected alot of people in a very positive way. Thank you, and good luck to you, on your ventures through life.
Thank you for for all the fun you bring along the way. I was sad to see you go. But after watching this video, I am very happy for you that you are living a better life now. Thank you for making this video, because there are so many others that just left without a trace. And I do wish you and your family the very best onward.
Was good to see you TimmyJoe, was watching your vids since 2018. Still will continue to watch even if it is just you saying hi from time to time. Keep it up 💗
I enjoyed riding with you on this journey. I wish you success and happiness on this leg of your journey.
Hey bud, you do what is best for YOU and YOUR family. I am sad I will no longer receive your content anymore as I really enjoyed your character and person spin on things but I can TOTALLY understand your reasons! I started my channel when things were "good" in mid 2019 under the same kind of niche your channel identified as, to appeal to the budget side of tech. That obviously is insanely hard to do anymore these days even more now as a small channel that doesn't have the big contracts to keep it running, as you mentioned. Keep doing YOU man and what you need to do to create the best life for you and your family. I'll always stay subscribed for the chance to catch your next video drop when ever you decide to make one AND you having done so stress free!. Best wishes brother!
I and every one thank you for the content you made I hope to see some more from you some day. you weighed your options and chose the best future for you and your family. good luck and stay happy.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You do you. If you like working along people with schedule in mind then that's what you gotta do. I still remember the video you made where you had more subs than people in a town you live in. Good luck and I hope to see some videos here and there from you
I'm sorry to see you go Timmy, you were fun to watch with your take on the older equipment and even with the newer equipment. It's a shame to see you go but at the end of the day, you have a kid to worry about you have your health and you have your future to worry about. I wish you the best brother.
Just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed your tech videos and they helped me learn quite a few things that gave me the confidence to build my own computer from scratch. You were really fun to watch and I wish you the very best in all your future endevors.
You quickly became my favorite tech channel on UA-cam. I'm sorry to see you go but understand why you're doing it. Best of luck in all your endeavors. Thanks for all the fun videos you've done over the years. You gave a little joy to a lot of people.
I glad you are ok, I hoped to see you in the future, thanks for every videos you made!
You're doing what's best for you, and I applaud you for it! Also, having a steady job is a wonderful thing. Best of luck to you sir!
Sorry to see you go from UA-cam I loved your humor and insight. Having said that I think your health is more important. I am happy you found a job and that you like it. Best of luck and I hope that you return to UA-cam again someday.
TJ, thanks for your vids and the laughs. I'm happy you are taking care of yourself.
I totally get the vibe. My love of all things hardware and what you could do for $250 was the driving force of why I loved hardware and your channel. Take care of you & that fam.
Hey man! I’ve always been a fan ever since I met you at the skatepark with the brail record skateboard. You’ve always done good things, may be local to me but I’ve always loved your content brother. Hard work makes the dream work, do what makes you happy.
Always have enjoyed your channel, sorry to see you go, best wishes in what the future holds for you, 'Godspeed'
You gotta do what's best for you. I'll miss your regular videos but I'm glad you're doing better. Best of luck with the new job and thanks for all your videos.
Thank you for the content during these years keeping us entertained and good luck with the new job!
Keep us updated with random content here.
I have actually stopped building and upgrading computers for the same reason, it's not fun anymore with the extremely high prices.
hindsight is always 20/20 my friend. im glad to see you looking alot better. do whatever you need to do for yourself, your family, and especially your mental health. WE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE. never feel like you need to make content. but if you ever decide to make a video we will be here :) sending positive vibes from Toronto.
*I loved your videos and its sad to see you go, but there are more important things in life, take care of yourself and i hope everything works out for you!*
