Under career, youtube career, third paragraph replace the first sentance "On 1 January 2024, Scott announced that he was taking a break from his YouTube work after a decade of consistent weekly uploads." with "Scott announced that he was taking a break from his YouTube work starting 1 January 2024, after a decade of consistent weekly uploads." The current phrasing implies the announcement of the break was on the date, instead of 1 january 2024 being the date when the break started. Brafricaon (talk) 19:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
