Travel Feels OG here, going to miss it, but i wish you the best. I feel like someone quitting youtube because they've outgrown it, is a huge stepping stone. I'm proud of you, and hope you keep us updated on Instagram, and Twitter. Much love from someone who got into videography because of you.

Matti, I’m 22 and I’m a filmmaker now. I’m following your channel ever since I was 15 and you’ve been one of my biggest inspirations in my journey. You’ve made such a big impact on my life, breaking so many barriers in my mind. It makes me sad to see you go. I’m going to miss you. Loads of love, support and respect.

Matti, I just want to say thank you. You really made such an incredible impact on my life. Almost 4 years ago I was suicidal high school freshman dealing with the divorce of my parents, family loss, and other unfortunate situations. My mom actually was the one who suggested to me that I find a hobby and I chose photography & filmmaking. So I turned round KZitem and found your videos. Your videos provided such incredible value to me and really taught me so much about filmmaking and storytelling all in such an entertaining and inspiring way. But the most incredible thing that you did was provide a sense of light and hope in my life. I remember just binge watching all your videos and clicking your videos as soon as you posted. Each video provided a small sense of hope that I could make it out of my situation. You created an enormous passion for learning in me while you showed your constant pursuit for knowledge even at such a high level. And the way you could tell how genuine and caring you were for people also showed me how many incredible people there still are out there. I know it’s a long story compressed into something so much smaller but I just want to say thank you. Thank you Matti and Tyler and the rest of the team for everything. I know a million subs can look like just a number, but each of those digits is a life. A life you changed for the better. I pray all the best for you and your family. Thank you once again for everything.

Sending hugs, man. Enjoy your time with yourself, family, and loved ones. Stepping back to recalibrate and take care of yourself is crucial, especially when navigating life's mysterious paths. Something similar happened to me on 2022 when I paused my KZitem life and moved from Mexico to Canada, it has been two years and I've been thinking about the 2024 comeback, with a different perspective and refreshed me. It's so interesting to be figuring out what should we do, what should we focus on as we grow. Another hug, Matti! -Aldo

Definitely going to miss this channel. Thanks for everything you've shared, Matti, I've learned so much about filmmaking from you, but even more important, how to just be a good person. I mean, that is why we're all here after all. There's lots of people teaching filmmaking on KZitem, but not all of them seem like a genuinely good guy. If you're ever in Ohio and need someone to point a camera for you, I would gladly do it for the opportunity to help a good person.

I almost quit KZitem because I was burnout on creating travel content. My friend that has over 400K and quit her travel based YT channel because travel isn’t sustainable. If you are trying to have a family or loved ones you don’t want to be on the road every week. And plus we are getting older, I just want to chill, plant vegetables, build things, and be around my people. Wishing you the best man!

Thank you for all you have done for this community and myself specifically. Since discovering your OG channel, Travel Feels in 2017, I have looked to your content as the pinnacle of my filmmaking education and inspiration. Its been a crazy journey to grow my life and career while watching yours flourish on KZitem. I know I speak for many others when I say this, but I literally would not be where I am today without you Matti. You single-handedly changed my life for the better, and I could not be more grateful for you and your willingness to share your knowledge and positivity with the world. When I discovered your channel in 2017 I was a lost soul in Business and Engineering school in an accounting internship. I would binge your tutorials during my lunch breaks and practice my filmmaking skills after work. Now I sit here as a full-time producer for a creative agency that specializes in Travel and Tourism, still living for those Travel Feels. I know you don't know me, or plenty of others who have been along for this ride, but I think I can say for all of us that were here from those days, thank you Matti. You changed my life forever. Wishing you well for whatever the future has in store for you!

I always feel the videos from youtubers saying they are quitting are just clickbaits, it doesn't take long at all for them to re-appear. They just went on a holiday, had to move, fix some stuff unrelated to the channel so they can't monetise it and then do a come back video. It's all so dramatic, saying they QUIT youtube, which literally it's their cashcow.

It doesn't matter what are you talking about, a new drone, a gimbal, a new les or just trying to shoot a hyper lapse in the freezing cold, I just enjoy your videos so much and I've learnt so much from you. You have a great family. I love Kai. Awesome kid full of happiness and the energy. Your videos are very inspiring and I often just wait to see Kai, very cute.

Just think about it, why doesnt he just come up and announces that he quit KZitem and this is his last video. Why he gives specific time in the future, starts kind of a countdown and builds an expectation? These are just the rules of story telling. And maybe this was done to gauge the reaction of followers. Are there still there? Still alive? Still interested in his content? So does he need to re-attachment because of the lack of interest lately? Lot of questions but we need to admit that, he may not be the best filmmaker in the world but he (or his producer, scriptwriter, whatever he/she is) is a very good storyteller.

I'm so pumped for you. Thought I'll miss seeing your videos pop up in my feed, I know exactly what you're going through. Each and every day, I look at my youtube channel and I'm bummed that I'm not posting more, growing more, etc, but then I also realize that I'm living the life I dream, and I'm spending time with my family and kids and there's nothing more important than that. I don't need to post more videos if I don't want to. If you don't have a real reason why, there's no point chasing something. You'll keep setting the bar higher and higher and you'll never feel content with where it's at. GO GET IT BROTHER. I'M PUMPED FOR YOU.
