While internet celebrities retiring from YouTube isn't new, the number of content creators announcing their exit from the platform in 2024 seems unusually high. Though YouTubers like Unnus Annus and Jenna Marbles have paved the way for successful departures, the surge of creators leaving in recent months might still surprise some fans. This is further emphasized by the fact that 2024 has only recently begun, but notable stars MatPat, CaptainSparklez, and Tom Scott have already revealed that they're looking to venture into uncharted territory.
