Smith remarks “one thing they never tell you about becoming an adult… is that your time is just completely unstructured" near the start of the video, being honest about struggling with the unstructured time and how short life is. Further, he is equally honest about why he is leaving his channel behind. Originally not wanting to use the term since he feels it sounds “weak,” Smith admits that he is terribly burnt out when it comes to content creation. Beyond that, the YouTuber has been struggling to find an identity, explaining his jump to coveringthe popular battle royaleFortniteas “unfulfilling.”
While Smith recently took a few months away from his channel and returned ready to cover the newest installment ofCall of DutyZombies, his main channel focus and passion, he found that the spark for making videos was gone. While Smith praisesCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies modeas “really great,” he has no interest in ruining his enjoyment of it by making videos. Smith says that the process of even thinking about content was something he started to dread, making his career a huge source of disappointment in his life.
With the goodbye video reaching YouTube’s trending page, TheSmithPlays was met with an outpouring of support from theCall of DutyZombies community, with Smith receiving thousands of like and positive comments on his final video. Hopefully, Smith finds success in a new career that makes him happier than he was on YouTube in recent years.
