It is A LOT of work to upload videos if you do any kind of editing (I don't think Chris or Nick did much of that if any at all) and it takes away time from real life. Chris may just be busy with other things and Nick is a damn doctor and may have just decided to spend his minimal free time with his family and friends. I don't blame them one bit for being absent from social media and the constant criticism that they have received over the years from some people. Mostly from A-Holes that wouldn't dare make a video themselves, but claim to be, Experts/Cyberego freaks in this hobby on some forums. I hope both are doing well IRL.

Maybe he has an offline life, too? Us not knowing why someone takes a break from YouTube doesn't imply anything is wrong. Perhaps it is time for more people to put away the keyboard, power off the computer (or put the smartphone in their pocket), and go do things in the real world.

I hear you. I've taken a break from most social media/forums/message boards. Most of what I read these days is so negative and toxic it was starting to affect my own mood. This forum I do at least check in and read once a day even if I don't post that much. Lots of good conversations and info. Even if some threads here devolve into some negative stuff it is still pretty tame compared to elsewhere. I guess we can thank the mods for that. They DO let people vent, but threads get closed if it seems like it is headed towards a total shit show. That's why I still come here everyday.

FYI - CDB just posted an "All is well" YouTube video for those that are interested!

I think he is growing all his hair back and will make a shave video soon after.

I’m thinking more on the lines of making mention to followers that there will be no more new material. Of course, sometimes things come up, and social media just takes a smaller role out of necessity.

It might be the case that viewers treat YouTube channels like TV shows with a regular schedule. Some channels are like that, especially those that are the primary or major source of income for the owner. Other channels are hobbies, with semi-regular schedules at best, and can suddenly go dormant or be left as online archives. People just need to learn that is the nature of the beast.

Exactly.

He just did a new video on YouTube April 18.

He seems to be back in full force now
