He said this and I quote:
'Hey everyone,

I have been mostly offline for the past 2 months and haven't uploaded to EthGoesBOOM in 3 months but I have come back online because it has been brought to my attention (by people who know me in real life) that a lot of people in the community are upset over recent events with my channel and I'm here to explain myself and also offer my apologies.

So basically, about 2 months or so ago, I decided to, for the most part, just take a mental health break from the internet, but especially take a break from Twitter. There are many reasons for this and I'm not going to go into every single one. I've seen most people blaming this on one thing that happened like the whole "Sackboy Incident" but in fact there were many reasons for it. I've been using Twitter for many years but I feel like it has gotten really toxic over the years and not only that, but my influence on it is toxic as whenever I make a tweet that blows up and draws the public's attention, a lot of people tend to get really angry over what I'm talking about and I don't like the fact that I'm upsetting people etc. So as such I decided to stop using Twitter.

Hence I decided I would "retire" my Twitter account and step away from it. So I put in my Twitter bio that the account was retired and wiped the account of all my tweets. Then I stopped using it, only to come on every now and then to like a fanart that someone sent me and other such things. I also stopped using Facebook, Discord, YouTube and other sites for the most part. I actually retired from Twitter and took an online break over two months ago but most people are only just noticing that I've been gone and this is for a certain reason...

So apparently a big FNAF YouTube channel made a video about me saying that I was retired, using the "retired" status on Twitter as proof of this. This video has led to a lot of people knowing about me being gone and thus becoming upset and thinking that I have retired from *everything* including my YouTube channels. It has gotten so bad that people that I know in real life, including my friends and my parents, contacted me freaking out, thinking that something bad at happened to me. I let them know I'm fine and what the situation is and that I would let all of you know too.

To clarify, I am only retired from Twitter (at least for the time being), not from YouTube. My YouTube accounts are fine and will stay where they are. The main reason why I have barely uploaded this year is for many reasons such as: lack of motivation and passion, many videos tend to anger people due to my voices not sounding like the originals etc etc. I'm sure you guys know that I am a very modest person and am often hard on myself. I have always said that if my content is making people unhappy, then I will stop. I'll be around as long as people want me around. When people get mad at my voices, I don't want to make videos. It really is as simple as that.

In a lapse of really bad timing, I did actually remove some of my videos for various reasons from EthGoesBOOM recently. I removed all of my Eth's Plays. mostly because I want to keep EthGoesBOOM as the FNAF channel now, as I can't make non-FNAF content on there without pissing people off and so that's what King of Caps is for now. So I took down all the non-voice acting videos. I also removed some of the Fazbear Let's Plays that I consider to either be complete trash or just cringey in general like a lot of the 2015 Let's Plays like Chica Plays Can Your Pet.

Since I have mostly been offline and didn't think anyone would notice these changes (or me retiring from Twitter), I didn't think twice about doing this. However, once that YouTuber's video came out, like a day or so ago, and people were freaking out, they noticed that videos on my channel were missing and that I hadn't uploaded in ages... which made things even worse. I actually got a lot of people sending me messages saying they were upset that their favourite video was gone... someone even messaged me being upset that my 2015 Portal series was gone, which is a very laggy and awful Let's Play series. So it boggled my mind a little that people were very upset over this but to an extent I understand where they are coming from.

Even some parents messaged me, saying that their kids were really upset that the videos were gone. There was also a lot of messages from people saying I was "their childhood" which is not something I've heard before... and for someone like me that considers myself to just be a normal guy and nobody special, this was a little surreal for me, but in a good way. I really didn't think that some of my videos, especially the Eth videos and 2015 videos being gone would really matter. Like at all. In my mind, they're just really stupid and low quality videos that I made for fun. Because I don't see myself as a big YouTuber or whatever, I sometimes can not think twice about these things and often assume nobody would notice if I took down a video that is embarrassing or if I quietly retired my Twitter account.

Anyway this post is long enough but that's pretty much the gist of it. I want to apologize to everyone that got upset over my actions. I should've been more clear on my Twitter bio OR make a post saying I was leaving, but I'm the kind of guy that doesn't like being a bother so I just decided to leave as I didn't think anyone would notice. Also I'm sorry for removing the videos, they are all back up publicly now, (I even made public some old videos that haven't been public for years now). I take full responsibility for all of this and I'm sorry. I hope you all can understand where I'm coming from and forgive me.

I also want to shout out the YouTube channel who made a video about me as they actually encouraged people to support me in the video and brought the situation to everyone's attention. I appreciate that, thank you as if it wasn't for this YouTuber, I probably would've been gone much longer with no explanation. I won't name drop them here as I don't want to potentially cause drama but I'm sure you guys know who it was if you're aware of the situation.

In terms of uploading on YouTube.... when will I do it again? I really don't know. I still have no real motivation to make content. I'll have a think about it. If I do, it'll probably be on King of Caps, my second channel. Also, will I stay off Twitter? Probably. But who knows. The account will at least still be here and still be up. Anyway, have a Merry Christmas season everyone and I hope this cleared everything up for you. If you have a question, shoot me a tweet and I'll try to respond.

TDLR: I am alive and I have only retired from Twitter, not from YouTube.'
