Theres a few more videos coming cause I got so sick for 2 weeks but then its 🫡. I appreciate all of you so much 😊
You cant leave us, its so wrong, youtube just isnt youtube without you :(
Whyyyyy??? Whyyyyy??? This makes me feel even older 😭 But I understand. Nothing lasts forever 🫶🏻
Thanks for all the knowledge you have shared over the years.
Hope you'll be back soon. Enjoy the ride, man! I think you'll be back sooner than you think 😎
Take it easy and enjoy the next chapter.
"I used to be scared about leaving money on the table, and now I'm way more terrified at not living life itself." That is powerful.
hmm, you need to read more or diverse your reading list.
what does that supposed to mean? @@marcoaslan
Cause now he has so much, he doesn't have to worry about money. What an achievement.
@@melodicmahdi3381 TikTok generation thinking any random sentence is "powerful", any snapshot is "mesmerizing"
They are quiting..... because some people are fed up, that people are pointing finger on everybody to make profit instead of finding healthy solutions that help our society and community and inspire people in healthy way. we became a society of "pointing finger on everybody" because its profitable, but it doesn´t make the society happy and productive, we are suposed to find solution to healthy lifestyle. not pointing finger on our neighbors, on certain group of people, on old people, or on young people, on vegetarian people, on broken people on healthy people we are supposed to feel empathy and find solutions It solves nothing, it just contributes to more and more problems and less and less happiness, less and less satisfaction. I am fed up that youtube constantly sends me videos where people trow trash on each other and analyze celebrities and nonsense. We all do it at some point, but some people do it so often that they dont realize how unhappy it makes them feel.
Imma be honest. I don’t think you are actually quitting.
He’s not.. a lot of “influencers” are on the band wagon “quitting KZhead” it’s what’s selling now.
@@thejonchacon yup. and before you know it, 3 or 6 months later, they are back in full gear.
@@the_1drummajor yeah like, if you are going to quit then quit. @iamjake a KZheadr who took no sponsors just went dark and quit. He didn’t post a video about it. He just quit. Which for his take of what he was doing (travel vlogs/overland) fits. Because it adds ambiguity. I feel like if you are going to post a dramatic exit then you aren’t actually quitting. It’s just like idk another strategy to the overall plan. I’m not knocking him for it. But like, you know don’t talk about it be about it.
Sounds more like retiring. I’d love to have been able to retire in my 30s or any time before I get into my 60s. Work/life balance is a luxury available to very few.
@@JonRamosComedy Right, or if you do end up talking about, at least be a bit honest about it (like, "I'm leaving KZhead for a while, might come back, might not..." etc).
Cheers dude. Lots of “influencers” doing the unsustainable and *pushing* the unsustainable to others. Love to see when people do the opposite. I know I told you this in person as well, but I appreciate you for this.
Just a publicity stunt
Matti was a big reason I started a KZhead Channel in the first place. GOAT.
You were that for me bro, so I gotta thank Matti also 🔥
@@jacques_craffordI second that.
@@nurniazfilms that's huge, I love your channel!
Love you man ❤
Appreciate you Matti. Been following along since the early ‘17 Travel Feels days. Thanks for all the great times. I’m not in content creation anymore, but I’ll always appreciate it as one of the funnest seasons of my life, and you were a part of that. God bless brother!
Gonna miss you Matti! On to bigger and better things, Gods got his plan for you! Thanks for all of the awesome content over the years, I’ve learned a ton from you. 😁👍
best of luck brother, really appreciated your videos over the years 🫡
pl
Proud of you for this decision. It's going to have ripple effects on our community in such a positive way. Thanks for inspiring us all.
I'm gonna miss you man. You were there when I first started this journey of self-expression through photography and videography, and I owe you a lot. You, Pete, Chris and the rest of the gang have been such a direct inspiration for me and I can't thank you enough. I hope to see you elsewhere on the interwebs eventually, but even if I don't I wish you all the best. Godspeed, Matti.
He's been saying this for month's. He's not going anywhere. Click bait 2.0 if he were serious he'd just quit. No announcement needed.
Wow, lotta KZheadrs quitting to start off the New Year. Sad to see, but hey, out with the old and in with the new and all that. Godspeed, Matti. You've helped a lot of people improve their photography and videography and you've much to be proud of. Your content will be missed, but we are very thankful for what you've given us.
Nah, they're not "quitting"
@@Jay-jb2vru right, they'll be back with another product😂
@josendrado Yup they already started doing that
I’m STOKED for you Matti. Although many of us now or in the past didn’t understand your decision, including me, I don’t think you’ll regret it one bit. Enjoy the time with your beautiful family and friends. If you want to travel with friends and money gets tight, don’t feel bad coming back early and dropping a branded video on us. We like supporting you, thanks for all you’ve given and shared with us.
Here’s to giving the finger to Hustle Culture! Cheers Matti, wishing you all the best with the new journey and most of all, more quality time with your family 🙌🏻
Thanks for all you have done here! You'll be missed but excited to see what's in store for you next!
Hope you feel better! We really love all these shots from your Japan trip. Lot of respect to you for doing this. No one knows how things are going to go. Good luck on your next season!
Thank you for being with us all these years Matti 🫶
Probably the longest "im quitting" message ever lol, it been how many videos of him saying he is leaving? You deserve peace and that is okay, you are okay.
I wouldn't walk away from his smashing success on YT. His channel is something that millions try to emulate, but don't have the resources to fulfill.
few more coming... LOL really long quit, I had to unsub on the end of the channel
Yes, he's really milking this. With solid editing at least.
Agreed. I feel like I’ve seen this headline many times before
You gotta give him that@@soundscape26
So proud of you Matti!! Thank you for inspiring us all and sharing your knowledge with us over the years! Appreciate you more than you know!! Sending you great luck in your next adventure!! Cheers to living more of your life! You have so much ahead of you!
Appreciate you Matti, and all you've taught us. Rest well, make the most of that time off, and I can't wait to see what you'll do next.
Dear Matti, you’ve been an instrumental part of my love for filmmaking. Discovered you in 2020 and I’ve been impacted by all you’ve shared. Cheers to this new chapter you’re embarking on, it will turn out good.
I have learned a lot over the years, from creators like you, your brother, Peter, Chris...each of you leaves a mark on me. I have made a living from creating audiovisual content for years, but I have never dared to get in front of a camera. So you already showed that you could...and in what way! So if you now consider other challenges, at least let us know from time to time how you are doing. Here we will be waiting 😉
Cheers! Can't thank you enough for the value you've brought to the community and inspiring myself and others to start channels and put in the work! Can't wait to see what's next for you.
Matti, I've learned a lot on this channel that helped improved my videos & photography. It's a shame to see you leave, as a fan and a person in this field, I dont understand why. Millions of people want to be in your shoes & you spent so much time and effort into building this channel of over 1mil+ subs. I wouldn't say you should quit, just take a break/go on vacation/ hire some assistance to take off hours of the work. I will say though, these "quitting video titles" will hurt the channel. People will really think you left even by just not watching the video and may unsubscribe. Which in turn will hurt future vids. Anyway I hope for the best Matt!
As someone who just quit Instagram after 12 years of hauling my photography work, much respect and kudos to you for the decision. You'll shine wherever you land, amigo, and I look forward to seeing your work regardless of where it is. Cheers.
what was your insta?
I quit instagram & Facebook 2 years ago and honestly it has been one of the best things for my photography and my creativity, I started shooting differently and found the fun in photography again! I started developing my own style back because I was influenced less by trending topics and trending photographers.
What do you do with your photos. Do you post anywhere or just no social media at all?@@Drewxcifer
Thanks for seven years of sharing knowledge and taking us on all your adventures. You impacted our lives in so many ways. You will be missed but a new journey awaits! Good luck Matti.
I discovered you through Peter when I came back from Europe in 2017. It's crazy to think that was SEVEN years ago (feels like 3). It's been a really fun ride. Looking forward to seeing what's next.
You've been a great inspiration to me and my work. Thank you for the emotional growth you gave me over the last 4 years Matti a badass in everything I truly wish you do a strong comeback someday! Blessings brother!
Is this the 2nd or 3rd quitting video? I've lost track. lol
You'll be missed dude. An original, and quietly authentic voice amid the maelstrom of shouty voices that is KZhead. I'm fairly new to DSLR film making but after watching your channel a few years ago I bought a 1DX mk ii and a Glidecam and embarked on the journey of steadily building my film making chops. Your straightforward and no BS advice has been my roadmap and your honest and frank discussions about film making and the life of a film maker have been hugely enjoyable to watch. bon chance my friend and thanks for all you've shared.
Thank you for all the work you've put in over the years inspiring us to be better storytellers. I've learned a ton. May God bless and direct your path in the years to come!
Oh man, didn't see this one coming! But everything you said, especially about the seasons, makes absolute sense. Priorities change, especially as the time behind us starts exceeding the time in front. You will be missed by all - wishing you an incredible and rewarding journey ahead! Hope to run into you sometime around Newmarket!
It really hurts me so much seeing many creators quiting KZhead these days. Vaya con dios Matti. Hope to see you again some day
When they leave, Artificial Intelligence robs all their material and someone else makes the money. It's a crying shame.
Some leave, some arrive... we'll never be short on creators.
Do you think its a money thing or a burn out thing? Or is it a niche thing?
End of an Era for sure. KZhead will never be the same. I have noticed in the last 3 to 4 years. Most of my favorite KZheadrs like Matti and Pete, just seem to be done. They love YT and what it's done for their Careers, but you can tell, they're ready to move on to the next chapter. Good Luck Matti!
I agree... Peter is also different for past year... very different... almost sad sometimes....
Must feel so good to have actually tried something, put in the hard work and succeed (lot of luck as well), ensure financial safety and taking the bold decision to quit. Must feel good to look back and see what they have achieved. Bravo to these guys.
Thanks Matti, for all that matters your timeline has inspired me to do the same with my own and I too have had to take a step back from the loud. We feel you, don't worry. Wish you well, good luck in your future endeavours.
Man this is such a great short. Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to see what you do with your time off. Proud of you for coming to this realization. Much love man. Forever an inspiration!
This is a solid moment in KZhead history bro, You're one of the few KZheadrs who's "retiring" from KZhead and that's important for all aspiring creators to know to figure out what's important to them while we're making videos. Hope you find what you're looking for bro and really appreciate all that you've invested in all of us.
Yea...he'll be back 💯
@@Jay-jb2vr yep! Matti makes similar videos every year. I can't wait to see what he does in 2025!
The moment i take a camera, decided to take a video to post on youtube for first time. I get this notification. Thank you for making me more sure that i should record that video and upload it :)
What a great journey has it been. Ive been following rather silently for several years now, and been enjoying the content. Thank you and all the best for the new road!
Always grateful for your effort Matti. And totally enjoyed shooting the breeze way back when at Power of Video in Belfast. Best of luck on the journey ahead. NO looking back. You got this. ❤️
How long are you going to drag this out?
They all do it... The low key thumbnail... And I'm quitting.. I think the yt money has just slowed up and it's time to leave on their own terms.. So many are doing it and claiming the same reason... The niche is over saturated for what they do.
Leaving for a year - a sabbatical is a little different than "quitting"...........
Thank you Matti! For every bit of encouraging advice you've given over the years. Wishing you well on all of your future projects and endeavors!
I'v been a silent follower of you Matti, from the biggining since the @petermckinon aira Bro, your unwavering support and motivation over the years have been pivotal in my growth and success. I have full confidence that you'll make a strong comeback.
Era not aira.
You leave a heartfelt message and there’s always some jerk who wants to correct a typo.
Give thanks Matti! I remember the OG travel feels videos from the Gh3/4 days so it’s really been some time. You’ve given a whole lot to the community you’ll be missed but you more than deserve it! All the best. Also the colour grading on this video was on point, who did it?
I feel like a new KZhead Orphan. So many good people leaving, I feel a bit lost. The little nuggets of wisdom, of fun, of inspiration that you brought, the much needed respite from our regular lives. Thank you so much, Matti. Wishing you all the best.
Who else left?
everything changed on KZhead this year and the pressure got 100% worse, and much less money.. so that is why some are leaving...
@@Aryan_Biswas A lot of good creators :(
Quitting KZhead seems to be trending pretty hard right now.
Thanks Matti for the many great camera and filming tech reviews. May God bless you in this new season of quiet. Do what you know is best for you and your family.
Thank you for all your amazing work! It’s been a pleasure to follow. I wish you the best, journey well and of course we all hope to see you back some day if and when it feels right! ✨☯️🙏🏾✨
Stop saying you're quitting KZhead just for clout. You've already said this like 4 times before. Come up with something original for once.
Bro has been quitting youtube every year
Go on Matti! You have been a huge part of my photography/videography journey so this is a bitter sweet moment. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you however we see you next. Best of luck and go spend time with your family 🎉🙌
Good luck on the next adventure man! You will be so missed! I have learned so much about filming and video editing from you over the years. Thank you for being you!!!
Don't you guys always quit then come back 3 weeks later
Gonna Miss Matti. Can't wait for the other videos. February: How I quit KZhead March: Why you should Quit KZhead April: Gotcha Guys...I didn't quit KZhead lol...Naw for real though. You and Peter really got me into the filmmaking/photography space.
He has mentioned in the video that he is taking a year off
LMAO!!! timmy tim tim...SMH. LOL!!!@@timmark4190
@@timmark4190whoosh
Thanks Matti for all your work and inspiration you shared with us! I will miss you like all the others but most important: all the best for you and your future adventures! Take your time - and when you come back, we will be here waiting for your stories! Btw, let us now where you are every now and then, if you like to join with your distant friends! Maybe we see each other somewhere around the globe… Take care!
Dang man. I gotta say I appreciate you being on this space and this is like a wake up call really and reminder not to take any thing for granted and to make use of the time and space we exist in and to go for our dreams. Bro I appreciate you and I wanna wish you all the best in what ever you take on next and I know what it is when burn out comes or that time comes for a change. All the best to you tour family and your friend and if you ever share the next venture with use I’ll be sure to wanna be apart of that.
We appreciate you so much Matti, we will be here if you choose to come back, thank you for this amazing channel ❤
I can't imagine the channel makes like, CRAZY money, so its a fair thing to move onto something more fulfilling. It'll never make sense to me that KZheadrs 'quit' KZhead... they can just post less, or even never, but 'quitting' the thing that you spent years building, when you don't have to post anyway, just seems like its saying 'quit' for the sake of saying quit....the action thats required to quit, is simply inaction, which makes taking the action of quitting, seem very strange. If it was resigning from a network or contract to make videos, then quitting makes perfect sense...otherwise it seems nonsensical (to me; I'm open to being totally wrong).
I sincerely hope he takes comments like your to heart. Leaving in the mid-stream of success seems insane to me. I've been there. It's no picnic.
Incredible video and an incredible choice! I'm super happy for you taking risk and making big changes - all the best to you Matti! So thankful for everything you've given us over the years. BTW have you done a deep dive recently into your color grading? It's looking SO good recently!
Thank you Matti, I've followed you for several years. Will miss seeing your creative videos, but I also know how powerful it is to take new paths and see what flows in life and how that rejuvenates our souls!
2021: I'm quitting KZhead. 2022: I'm quitting KZhead. 2023: I'm quitting KZhead at the end of 2023. 2024: Seriously, guys. I'm quitting KZhead, but here is another video and I have a few more on the way in 2024. It seems like you're just trying to create some clickbait videos at this point.
Why I’m quitting YT season 3 episode 48 😂
It was just great following your channel. Thanks for all the lessons and insights and also the fun of hanging out with your friends and making video's! 🙌 Hope you wil come back occasionally. Respect for making this decision to find out, what you need to find out.
Will miss the videos but can relate to your decision. Good luck, hope you have a good time with your family and I’m looking forward for more videos hopefully in a year 😉
I thought I've seen this video before?🤔
yes he has made multiple of these
2nd week in and you can't keep away Matti 🔥
Go out there and live that life, man! Living in Japan, I'm bummed that I didn't get to meet you. But glad you enjoyed your time here!
I've followed you from the beginning, both yourself and Pete, have become etched into the fabric of all filmmakers & creators in the industry and for all of time. Will miss you Matti -thank you for all you've done for us. We'll continue to support you in all your choices. Be free friend. Love you.
Thanks for quitting!😂 lesser dupes on youtube tryna create same repeated content over and over cringy stuff
Yeah we know you’ve been talking about it for months. I thought you said one of your videos you weren’t gonna be posting anything in 2024?
Been following you since you were Travel Feels and making vids w/ Peter and Chris. Your excellent video reviews on camera gear is what brought me here, but your great personality and attitude tied with your outstanding camera work, editing, and teaching is why I stayed. I will miss your videos, but I'm happy for you moving onto the next chapter in life. Thank you Matti, for everything.
Thank you Matti for so much inspiration, joy and learning during all these years. Best wishes in whatever you undertake! A hug from Chile
You are really milking this cring "I quit KZhead" trend.
This dude actually thinks people care 😂
Cheers to you Matti ! You were one of the reasons why I started making videos with a camera, and you've taught us so much. Here's hoping that the next chapter of your life is gonna be amazing too !
I know you will prob never see this , but thank you for sharing. I have learned so much from you and appreciate you more than you know. I too am stepping away from my career for a year right now and going to hike the Appalachian Trail with my wife and disconnect. Blessings to you and your family. Hope to run in to you on the road one day!
Back in the day of travel feels and Matti and Peter era I was watching every single video. Learned a lot and had so much fun watching you. You're such a good soul, so genuine. I hope you'll find whatever you looking for and visit us here on youtube from time to time or come back eventually. All the best Matti! ❤
All the best Matti, been with you since old skool Travel Feels. It feels nice to have come full circle with the closing screen. Good luck to you Sir, 👍🏻
Thank you so much Matti for every travel feels and every other video you have put on the channel. I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you for inspiring us and convincing us to pick up a camera and make videos. Thank you for everything you have done and I hope you enjoy what comes next. Good luck
it's been incredible watching your content for the last year (and then some). you're part of why i started this channel. it's sad to see you go - it almost feels like our channels are working on two opposite ends of a spectrum, two bookends, two ships barely passing each other - but wishing you all the best.
Cheers man, you've taught me a lot on my own journey but seeing you make this move is inspiring.
Wish you all the best, Matti, looking forward to where life takes you next. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you Matti, for everything you have taught us. Blessings and prayers to you, to your family and all that you do. You are an inspiration!
Thank you, Matti. For all the videos you've created here, for being this great creator and amazing guy, thanks for your openness. I'm happy that so many videos of yours are still here for us to see and I'm happy for you that you will be able to find time to slow down. And for sure, I hope that some day you will be back 😉
You literally inspire so many people my brother. I wish you the best and pray for a great next chapter! Please update us somehow even if its years down the road. God bless!
it's been a great trip matti, thank you so much i am glad that you went to japan, please explore more in the country side of japan, you will find your quiet there. thank you for being an inspiration to many of us there, life is not just about work or money, you need to live. so go live Matti! hope to see you again, i love your enthusiasm always in this channel.
Best wishes on wherever the next path you decide to follow is. Thank you for sharing your craft and for taking all of us along with you to some very beautiful places.
Matti, I pray for your success and a year of quiet for you and your family. I subbed to your channel just under a year from when you started. You were a huge part of putting a desire in me to tell stories and encourage other through video... ( even though I'm no where near your success). You will be missed, but I really hope you come back! Peace out brother. God Bless you and your family!
Man I‘ll miss your videos so much…they‘ve been part of my morning routine for years to keep me inspired and updated in the filming world…but I wish you the very best, enjoy your life! And if you should be back on some point, I‘ll be there to watch your creations 🤗✌🏻
Matti, I love how you do a rather long good-bye from KZhead. When I started filming with my FX3, you quickly became a main inspiration for me. Thank you and greets from Berlin / Germany.
Thank you for everything Matti! You’re amazing. All the best on the next leg of your journey!
Best of luck and skill Matti! You're leaving a huge hole in KZheadspheria and will be missed! Thanks for all the awesome content over the years! Cheers!
Thank you so much, it really speaks to me where I'm at in my life. The fear or moving to a new season and being present where I need to be.
Best of luck Matti. I've enjoyed the ride. Hope to see you back. God bless, and take care!
Although i haven’t been watching you for the past year+, you have been a great influence and taught me so much! I really enjoyed your content and sincerely hope you kill it in your next adventure 🥳🤩
Thanks for all the videos you did put out while you were on the platform! You've been a big inspiration!
hey Matti - thanks for sharing your life with us. i've loved watching your videos over the last x years. i will miss you heaps but life moves on and you have an amazing new chapter ahead. bless you for all the hope, inspiration and love you have given so many. take care and best wishes.
Thank you so much for all the amazing content, inspiration and being who you are! I think you did the right thing, would be awesome to see you back one day. But it would be okay not seeing you back on KZhead with the thought you are living a happy life with loads of adventures!
I am happy for you. I think balance is key to true happiness. I got a feeling you’ll be back but take the time you need. Ground yourself and allow yourself to feel what you’ve been missing. I’ve watch many of your videos and have always been inspired. I just started my own KZhead channel and would like to know what advice you have for me? How do I keep my self balanced and avoid the noise over power the quiet? Best wishes to you!
Always loved your content, will miss it as its been a great inspiration, but glad you are doing what you want and not just following the flow of things and completely burning out.
