The real vlog number is "The final episode". Casey explains that the title of the vlog is not a clickbait, yes he is ending the vlog. He is sat too. Back at vlog 001 where he explains that he is starting a daily vlog. In the studio he explains that he was a youtuber before being a vlogger, and he was a filmmaker before being a youtuber. He won't give this up. The last 500-600 videos, this experiment is over. Views where he leaves Candice and Francine. He wanted to vlog to stop being lazy and make more videos. That's what happened. The first year it worked great. Every day he woke up asking himself what he can do to make a great vlog today. Views of what he did with Marlon the UPS guy. Six months ago it started to be easy, he found a rhythm, a system for approaching his daily video. That was not a challenge anymore. It went being him presenting his daily life every single day. The creative challenge was gone. It was easy and the Youtube success helped him. More than 5 millions subscribers, 1 billion views. He found a way to make it easy, he is successful on youtube, makes a great living with adsense... But it hasn't been challenging him these days. He has to kill the vlog to be able to five birth to what's next. Views of Candice and him preparing for an indian wedding. Candice dancing at the wedding. Tarzan metaphor: life is a huge jungle he tries to navigate through. Vine to vine. The trouble with success is that it makes you comfortable. In 128 days he made 155 million views and earned 1.1 million subscribers. That's a success on Youtube he thought was impossible. But it also says "continue to do what you are doing and the success will continue". That means holding one vine and not take the next one. How can he progress in his career. How is career is going to evolve. Views of Owen during a trip (episode 215). His 19 years old self has taken more risks than him today. When you've reached a certain success, risk means jeopardizing what you have. Giving up the vlog is a high risk. But he also has opportunities. Being able to reach 5 million people is amazing. He does not want to still vlog at 40. A career needs to evolve. A big stepping stone. He will share more in the next video. With each success comes a bigger more ambitious goal. Candice driving a manual car (episode 358). He is not giving up YouTube, he will continue to upload regularly. But different kinds of videos, the kind that takes more than a day to produce, that needs a little thinking. Candice singing in the car, from episode 538. He tanks the audience for having been there to share what he has done. Views from the helicopter (episode 549). Stopping is not easy. He thought continue one or two episodes a week, but he can't embrace what's next unless he completely let go the vlog. He drops his main camera on his table. Views from episode 1 where he is shocked with the electric racket. The vlog is over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-yrXB95qDo
