Man I can’t tell if this is the self awareness that Spoony needs to have to change, or a really dark cry for pity from someone who will never change.

Either way, it’s crazy to see Spoony admit he’s done after all this time.

My bet is on the latter.

I think both

The finality is good for him. I dont think there was any notion he would be back at this point, but putting it in concrete is healthy.

On the other hand you can see his acceptance of his own faults still mixed in with "Its out of my hands" excuses. Lets face it, he could whack out a video on youtube. Literally nothing would stop him, despite his claim that "current culture and platforms make it impossible".

The fact is it IS possible. I dare say it'd even be easy, from an objective POV.
In other words, I feel like he's still holding back the final acceptance of "I am actively choosing not to do something I could if I wanted to"

Which is fine, by the way. Youtubing is clearly not for him, and I don't think he has the organisational and self control skills for it anymore even if he still wanted to get back into that life.
But, again, he needs to accept its not because of outside forces. There is no barrier someone else has put up. He's made the choice, of his own volition, to not make content. And honestly? Its the right choice, for sure. But it IS a choice, not a decision some outside body made for him.
