Reason Experts RIP

[Popey]

I used to find his videos really useful on specific devices so shame he has deleted his content. Even if he is going in a different direction on YT I do not see the reason to delete all the old stuff. Suppose he has his reasons.

At least I am fairly certain he is still Dutch.

Wondering if Reason_Experts_RIP has an account on TikTok...

Maybe that’s no longer the case. Maybe that’s why he quit this time around

[Catblack]

Not the first time he's pulled the plug. Didn't he delete all his videos (or threaten to) like a dozen years ago?

I see I've got his massive 2016 refill. Lots of great stuff in there.

[L'ParaZite]

A big missing for me, i'm "Reasoning" for a while now, i think like all of you.

He is a well of knowledge and ok he had alreadey done it before, but all it's content was online, letting ask me: did he is ok ?

I mean, approx 2000 articles of it's website, lot of hours, preparation, self-invest to erase it all ?

I have saved 100 of his videos but not in HD sadly I didn't hav enough time, to ge them downloading in HD.

He’s not ok obviously. Nobody in their right mind does that

Everybody with the right mind quits YouTube, Facebook, X and whatnot...

[Jackjackdaw]

If he’s not okay and it is the internet that is making him feel not okay, then getting t.f. out is probably the best for him.

But nobody throws away years of content. You can just stop creating more and leave those platforms but leave the site and videos alone. Leaving Facebook and Twitter like I’ve done a decade ago is not the same as deleting your educative work off the Internet. Just leave it there, don’t create more if that’s hurting you mentally, don’t log in again, problem solved. No? Am I crazy for thinking that way?

I left all social media but didn’t delete my music. If I had been unstable mentally I would have deleted all my music as well. And my music is nowhere near as useful as his videos and websites

Isn’t he not just pivoting to creating different kind of content or whatever? That’s not getting tf out, is it?

[Jackjackdaw]

I suppose not, lol. Guess he’ll figure it out eventually.

[Aosta]

I managed to grab his 2016 refill via that waybackmachine link and have been browsing it, some excellent stuff in there! Shame he has pulled the plug.

[xylyx]

How did you get the 2016 refill via wayback machine? I've tried but it takes me to a google drive with 'access denied'.

I think the final reason for him to quit or the last nail in the coffin if you will, was something he talked about a few times in his last videos.
He said there's a whole army of people harassing him and he had no clue who they are or why there were harassing him.
I thought about it and I actually have an idea who these people might be and why this started but I don't want to go into some wild speculation in a public place like this. It's probably wrong anyway, so...

Oh come on don’t ruin the fun. How bad could it be?

[Tinnitus]

Missed this post, and I'll miss Hydlide's content, not that I had much time to watch it.
Really sorry to see he quit.

[Re8et]

There was someone on Reddit over-sharing links to his videos. Some folks thought maybe it was him sharing his own videos. Then the ‘not him’ person got really upset and wrote a long bleeding heart post before quitting.

Then the ‘real him’ deletes all his media? Hmmm ….

I just finished a Reason survey saying there should be more Expert tutorials... something gone wrong?

I don't want to risk making false accusations to anyone. I'm not even sure what kind of harassment he had to endure and so I'll better leave my wild theories in my head. Sorry for spreading curiosity.

Feel free to tell me in private please

I did not know the content or the creator. But the YouTube rage quite is something I have seen many times. I have even stopped doing things I enjoyed too in a moment of distress. It is actually why I don't post songs here anymore. That said I don't mind a little drama from a good creator but once their channel becomes all drama I usually bail. My other pet peeve is people who ask for engagement and don't engage back. But you don't have to judge me, I went to an all-female High School. I know I am evil.

If you have followed Hydlide over the years you will know this is a pattern. He has done this a few times. He stops using Reason and deletes all his stuff, but always comes back. Just give it time.
