Because saying goodbye is a difficult thing that adults sometimes have to do, we’ve decided to make our last episode about how to say goodbye.

[@ChaseFace]

Just discovered this channel only to find out it ended. What an awkward introduction.

[@hildcit]

ChaseFace yup, same

[@nakandlbgaming8557]

Same 😔

[@obiswancajoley18]

same. at least they didn't ghost us

[@winter4265]

This is depressing lmao.

[@lifeofjeffrey2447]

Sameee

[@AliJardz]

damn. Guess we gotta adult alone now.

[@COYSMate05]

Yeah, I know "Adulting" is a new youtube channel that's kind of the same thing. Worth checking it out. kzbin.info/door/2wSAhJ-q3L0NFtkv_cn3wg

[@JonEckEnd]

I've checked out their videos before! Super helpful!

[@purplepepper2503]

But isn't that the point? ._.

[@MegaSKATEcr3w]

@@purplepepper2503 Das a good point 😹 They have enough videos to say that you should be able to adult by now lol

[@johnmoore1495]

COYSMate05 channel doesn’t seem to exist anymore?

[@tmikemartin]

I knew this was coming, but it's still bittersweet. So much gratitude and love to those who took my and Emma's baby and kept doing amazing work with it. I owe y'all a lot forever.

[@lailedcat]

I absolutely did not read this through the first time and legit thought "EMMA HAS A BABY??" but then I read it again but boy, what a rollercoaster. This has been a great channel! And the resources are going to continue to be useful even if the channel itself is quiet.

[@JulieHerrick]

Thanks for everything you put into this channel. It's such a great resource, and many of the videos are timeless and will have a long shelf life from here on out.

[@tmikemartin]

Thank you so much!

[@chocolateer8907]

No one ever says good-bye unless they want to see you again

[@codymcdowell4442]

Chocolateer890 +

[@michaelcarter6596]

For me, it's always "see you later" never goodbye.

[@Isa.isa.isa.]

YES

[@caribaez5711]

Yes..

[@luffydeeznuts4846]

No one Says goodbye, Unless they wanna see you again Didn’t you mean smth like ppl don’t say goodbye if they want to see you again

[@AhsanteB]

Awwwwwww, sad to see this channel ending! Thanks to everyone who's worked on this channel for all the adulting tips over the years :)

[@JonEckEnd]

I found this other channel called "Adulting" super helpful too! kzbin.info/door/2wSAhJ-q3L0NFtkv_cn3wg They are new and still growing, but I love their style!

[@meltossmedia]

B-but you already left once!

[@duckpondwithoutducks]

Thanks for not ghosting us but saying a proper goodbye! 😀

[@kujmous]

"I loved it. That's all." -- HTA catch phrase ;)

[@maka5065]

This sucks I hoped this was going to last longer! Aw I'm glad it was good while it lasted!

[@arjunarun9147]

that's what she said

[@snitox]

I cried. I knew I could be a child knowing I can just go through adulthood on autopilot watching these videos. So when resources like these shut down I feel like a part of my childhood is being taken away because I have to spend extra time figuring out adulthood by myself which I could've used to act like a child instead.

[@snitox]

Sorry about the cringe. I just had to make this esoteric statement for some closure.

[@anti_MATT_er]

I don't think I've ever said goodbye permanently. Everyone just drifts away.

[@caribaez5711]

.-.

[@amnahiba4724]

@matthew So true 😔

[@Alverant]

I'm sorry the series is ending. How To Adult ended once before then you restarted it. Maybe it will restart again.

[@Dan-bc9nx]

As soon as i just subscribed...

[@aurawjb]

As someone who just discovered your Channel and as someone who is about to move out this channel has been a real help to me i know this is 2 years late but i wanna say thank you ♡♡

[@CaseyJewels]

I'm so sad this channel is ending. I realize it's one of the smaller channels, and has a more limited audience, but I've watched and enjoyed every video. You guys did such a great job at presenting the info in a clear and interesting way. I'll miss this channel.

[@Dayglodaydreams]

I didn't watch this channel that much. I could have got more about it. I also, had to live and deal with changes. They were hard. I became an adult. I'm 30. I share rent with a brother. I wash clothes. I clean my house. I learned by doing. Life changes will be challenging for me no matter what. Once commonplaceness sets in, I am grateful for these changes.

[@avatarpablo]

I still remember how I went on a little alone vacation last year and the only coffee machine available was that weird french press thing. I played your "How to make coffee" video so many times until it was drinkable. Thanks for the quality content!

[@mashimayoujirou]

Thank you for all the support, also the last piece of advise came just in the right moment to me: "Your safety is always going to trump someone else's emotions, and you should never feel bad about ghosting in those situations" Thanks!

[@vampirica89]

Hopefully I'll move to England this year with my new husband, so this is really helpful! New chapters of everyone's lives these days! Sad to see you go, but hopefully something better is in store for all of us!

[@vampirica89]

Kai Thank you, the same to you! ^^

[@cassaroooo]

😢 I really liked this channel. Sorry to see it go!

[@COYSMate05]

I know right... they lasted for a long time too! If you still want your fix for adult life tips, "Adulting" is an up and coming channel... kzbin.info/door/2wSAhJ-q3L0NFtkv_cn3wg

[@luisgarza7750]

I just found this channel and already hitting my abandonment issues.

[@australobuchia]

Sad that it's ending (again). 😞

[@amessinger]

I get that there's only so much new to say about adulting after a while. One of the good and bad things about adulthood is that things often don't change at the same breakneck pace they did when you were younger. But I hope you'll consider maybe making HTA a channel with "seasons" that start whenever you feel there's enough new material to cover and end whenever it runs out. :-)

[@mineola_]

The way Hank asked if she ghosted anybody was so sweet; like how a 9 year old asks 'have you done the homework?' sneaky whispers and what not.

[@Zoogore6777]

Kinda was hoping they’d come back during covid. 😔

[@fevernova89]

When did I even subscribe to this channel?! I didn't know he had this channel!!? This is a sign!!!

[@DobraEspacial]

Hank is so amazing I kinda want to cry

[@EbyKat]

Anyone else notice the “Hang in There” poster is empty except for the tree now?

[@kylefoster3779]

EbyKat That was my favorite part of the set. When there was an episode with only one host, the other would be in the tree. You can go back and see it in pretty much every video.

[@SuperJazTea]

I asked that too... was looking through the comments to find an answer.

[@loganl3746]

I thought I noticed something about the poster every couple of episodes, but i could never put my finger on it! Thanks for pointing out the answer!

[@jacquiz.6837]

Goodbye! Thanks for all the advice. This channel is going to make a great archive!

[@GoogleAccount-oe9im]

I LOVE Rachel as a host!!! I’d like to see more of her 🥰

[@ryugo7713]

Just discovered how to adult and of course this is the first video I watch...

[@leafstorm98]

Thank you for all you’ve done!

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

I've only just found this channel today, pointed here by Thomas Frank! I've started at the end, so I'll skip to the start for the rest of the videos!

[@hamade7997]

I loved these videos so much, sad to seem them go :/

[@jimtatarakis]

This was a great series. Good luck in your next projects. Hank, ill see ya tues. love you and your brothers vlogs.

[@aprildawnsunshine4326]

Nooooo! I'm 33yo and I'm still learning how to adult, we all are all our lives. There's so much more to cover! It can't end now!

[@DemureDelight8055]

Under-appreciated channel award 🏆

[@heyitsno-one1949]

I just found this channel and I'm sad to figure out it has already ended years ago :(

[@pasttenseroyalty]

Always love watching these videos - I'll definitely come back & watch them in the future when I need some advice :) Thanks & DFTBA!

[@Zonal13_]

Ironic that this is the last video

[@professor1262]

It’s not ironic since it’s the point of the video.

[@CoCody_]

Just subscribed a few days ago and now the channel is done producing content. Atleast I can scroll through the content if I ever remember about the channel.

[@jumpythehat]

Can't wait for this series to be revived a third time in a few months

[@affenonkel]

aww wowie! Thank you for all the work you have put into HTA and for the countless great videos. :)

[@gadazlin6264]

I think it's god I watch this, I'm getting sad saying goodbye and this is the first time i've heard of this channel.

[@Mykasan]

awww man, i've grown to love this channel. wish i would have discover it sooner. Can't wait to see the new projects your minds will create! :D Btw : ghosting isn't a bad thing. My acquaintance friends ghost me for years and but will stay in touch another way. They aren't just that close to me so it's okay. We do group dinners once every year

[@wormbag80]

I jokingly looked this up, and dang, im 16 and I'm terrified of the future so this will be a big help

[@KimiKattt]

I was looking how to look for family doctor and found you. I didn’t know the channel ended. Tho it is still helpful! I’ll still watch your other channels ❤️

[@carlaafonso6194]

Thank you. You two were really helpful in my jorney to become an adult. Thus channel will never die in my mind

[@chocolateoak]

I Love that this Channel existed. Thanks for making it!

[@DrawnByDandy]

This channel has been such a big help for me and I've enjoyed it so much, I'll be sad seeing it go :(

[@sweatyearth7458]

HOW TO COMEBACK >:’(

[@benaaronmusic]

Oh no! This hurts more the second time. I'll miss this series, but I'll most likely come back in the future with a quick "how to" search.

[@nanivelas]

but... 🥺I just found this channel

[@thewinterizzy]

Aw :’( thank you so much for everything the entire team has done! I have really loved this channel.

[@loudaprile471]

:( nooo! Why won't this channel just make it?! Its been so helpful.

[@jackiewinters5792]

Just curious, but why are you ending the series?

[@brentc6095]

They probably won't say directly. A few possibilities (or some combination thereof): 1) Their company makes a lot of shows. They probably just feel like the time of the people working on the show can be better spent on their other channels that get more views. Look under this channel at their list of videos and look at the view counts. For the level of quality Complexly shoots for, thats just not enough views to be sustainable. An average of 20K views an episode is not going to pay the cost to make the content (just over 1 million views total over 54 videos for this new run). I don't know how up to date it is, but I saw one quote of Million views equating to $2000 dollars in add revenue, minus KZbin's 45% cut, equals $1100 (these numbers could totally be pre-adpocalypse too). They had to spend more than that just on editing for those 54 videos. We can argue all day that the quality of the content should be getting more views, but thats not how KZbin works. 2) They have hit on pretty much all the low-hanging fruit of topics for the show. I imagine it becomes increasingly difficult to come up with new topics each time they start work on a new video. They could shift the focus of the show to some other area that could inspire more content, but at that point, they may as well launch it as a new show. It is a good bet that most of the audience here that actually put in views are Nerdfighters that are going to jump on a new channel too. 3) KZbin monetization isn't in a great place. Hank has said that due to the nature of their channels it hasn't hit them as hard as other people, and in some cases has helped them. Their company is already specialized in making content that is not the main catcher of eyeballs. They have found niches where they can make that work, but this apparently is not one. I don't know that this content would ever run afoul of the monetization algorithm, but the algorithm is fickle and its certainly possible. If something like their tattoo video got demonetized, that would drastically cut into the economic equation for the channel.

[@SteeleGolem]

Can you make a video on how to adult without your favorite advice channel?

[@andrewsecundino6014]

Really sad these stopped

[@AJ-xj2ok]

Okay I am about to turn 12 And the only reason I am watching this is so I can be treated and taken seriously. And it’s honestly helped!!!how to adult has not just helped adults but has helped me.

[@thuyduongtran2841]

Thank you guys!

[@nikkicedrone9311]

I just found this page today. Thinking we need more pages like this and it's over already.

[@TinyWorlds]

Fuck I just subscribed in time for the last episode xD Thank you for making all the videos, will have a look at the backlog :)

[@Samuel-tx2cl]

All I have to say is THANK YOU.♥

[@arianatolbert3421]

I was just getting into this channel. I’m heading off to college soon and I was looking forward to figuring out how to adult. Goodbye new friend!

[@graceyhan]

Aww this was hard to watch. I love this channel a lot and I'm sad to say goodbye (again). Thanks for being a part of my adulthood :)

[@WayneManifesto]

The second video from the channel I watched after subbing at the beginning. The stuff just never turned up in my recommend view. Only came here to see how it was going and discovered it was already gone

[@fryafrance327]

Oh myy, I’m 3 years late but I guess I’ll still watch your other videos. Ima start now!

[@1Eilatan]

Thank you for not ghosting us!

[@aravisthetarkheena]

So sad to see this channel go :( It's helped me so much!!!! Thanks so much you guys!

[@ashishbhandari622]

please make a video about 'how to breath'

[@YouSwellow]

Again ? guess i'll just have to wing it like everyone does

[@evergirl1231]

This is the second time saying goodbye to this channel so I'm just going to say....who knows.

[@Norimarisu]

I knew it! As soon as I saw the title I new they were about to break my heart.

[@crcons]

I was kinda hoping advice on how to end emails, because I never know if i end it with "cheers" or "thanks" or "memento mori". But this is good advice as well. Thanks for sharing with us a piece of what you learned adulting, and the best of luck on your other endeavours :) Ch...th...mem... AH! I loved it. That's all.

[@luenaiya]

I still love this channel.

[@MariaLCirillo]

Thanks for all the helpful info!! Sad to see the channel end ❤️

[@richardson.1424]

Well, damn. I just found this channel today.

[@AUnicorn666]

WHy don't you read the romance novels? (also the more code is wrong in that clip with the morse code)

[@Topknot]

Aw man, I'm gonna miss these videos!

[@youcantalkyourwaytohealthi8884]

Thanks for all the great content over the years!

[@Isa.isa.isa.]

:(:( sad to see this end. Really loved this channel this past year. Also, if I ever do want a significant dramatic goodbye... the other person will say bye to me and then I’ll just respond by quoting the end of Turtles All The Way Down.

[@floodsmcgee1]

Thank you for the great videos!! I looked forward to every one and they have helped me dramatically!

[@WadWizard]

Its never the right time to say goodbye

[@ramisarahman485]

Nooo, I still have so many things to learn......

[@ethanfinlay3365]

I'm Furious I always wanted to have a KZbin channel called how to adult turns out you guys had it first years and years ago and when I went to watch your channel it's f****** ended..... And it was good

[@ilearn5]

aw, i thought "we're going to talk about how to end things" meant this was going to be about the notoriously avoided end-of-life discussion.

[@christopherbradley7149]

Lmao, yeah I regularly just disappear from peoples lives and I’ve only just thought about that watching this

[@nesissjess5040]

I love the way her hair bounce.

[@michaeladdae2014]

Noooo 😔

[@Pseudofaewonderer]

thank you for teaching me a bunch of stuff. I was wondering why i havent seen anything from this channel in a while... this explains why TT

[@lupid99]

I couldn't be more sad

[@navygirl54]

I am so sad this is over.

[@IshikaShanai]

Hank seemed really nostalgic about the penguin research in Antarctica scenario.

[@HarryPotterFreakLena]

I had to say a lot because I've been moving to different countries every 6-12 months.It's still a difficult thing to do

[@raedefrane5505]

Hank, I think the correct choice was to axe the Financial Diet, as they are running out of content, and it's directed at a very specific, femme audience. This seems more accessible to more people. Sad to see the channel end.

[@Hunt3rseeker]

May I ask why the channel is ending? Thanks for everything you guys have given us, love you

[@learningmachine280]

What happened why did they stop?

[@ksub91]

The How To Adult music always reminds me of a piece of music from the anime series Steins Gate. I like that music. :) Btw, I recommend everybody to watch Steins Gate, at least if you like science fiction with time traveling. And the English dub is awesome! I often prefer to watch series and such with the original language, but with Steins Gate I prefer the English version, I highly recommend that you watch it in English. And the second season (though called Steins;Gate 0) started yesterday! (Though the second season isn't dubbed yet, but it's subbed in English.) Btw, it's mainly for adults and teens, I wouldn't recommend children to watch it.

[@carly7958]

This is so sad :( going to miss this channel.

[@infestedwithmaggots2290]

Crap , I need help on how to be an adult
