Broadcaster Tyler Rash's sudden announcement of halting YouTube activities sparked various speculations, but it turned out to be a choice for a new change. He is currently preparing a renewal of his existing channel while actively meeting fans through a new channel.
Earlier, on July 21, Tyler's YouTube channel 'Tyler Bolkayo?' published a video titled 'The identity of a real closed-door meeting more chilling than the Illuminati (leak incident).' Tyler, who had covered a range of issues including the world economy, international politics, technology and culture, suddenly appeared before the camera at the end of the video with a different atmosphere than usual. Tyler said, "If there is a beginning, there is also an end, so the 'Tyler Bolkayo?' you knew is now over," and added, "I will try to make it a beautiful finish, a fitting end. Thank you for watching so far, and I will come back in a cooler form."
At the time, no specific reasons were disclosed, which increased fans' curiosity. In particular, because the channel's subscribers had exceeded 800,000 and just a month earlier Tyler had expected the channel to continue growing, questions followed the sudden announcement. Coupled with the subject of the final video, among some netizens various unverified speculations emerged, from allegations of external pressure to claims of intelligence agency involvement. On the other hand, there were also reactions calling it an overinterpretation.
But the twist came in just about a week. On the 29th of the same month, Tyler announced a new channel and directly explained, "The 'Tyler Bolkayo?' channel I normally run will not disappear and is set for a renewal," and launched the 'Real Lee Tyler' channel.
He also revealed the reason for creating the new channel. Having shown the public a mainly serious and intellectual side during more than 10 years of broadcasting activity, he now wanted to show a more personal side. Tyler said he wanted to step away from high-level discussions and build experiences by eating delicious food with viewers, traveling to new places and taking on new challenges, and he announced plans to share the "real, real Tyler". He also expressed a desire to get closer to viewers, asking them to leave concrete ideas in the comments about what would be good to do.
In fact, Tyler has since continued his activities by regularly releasing videos through the new channel. Fans who had worried that something might have happened after the sudden announcement of stopping activities responded with relief upon learning that it was a channel reorganization and a new challenge rather than any particular problem. Curiosity about Tyler's usual true self continued.
In the end, the uproar at the time, which spawned various conspiracy theories around the "halting of activities," appears to have been a happening that occurred as Tyler expanded his content area.
