But now in 2020 he has made a surprise return to YouTube, and explained the real reasons behind why he was gone for so long. Adam is known primarily for his gaming content, playing a variety of games including Call of Duty, GTA, and more lighthearted games such as Golf It before his online break beginning in 2018. Before his departure, he had amassed an incredible 2.5 billion views, and 5.5 million subscribers, building a massive community over his many years on the site. So fans were concerned when he appeared to leave it all behind for good. His last Tweet came on May 15, 2018: I\u2019m alive! And all is well \ud83d\ude00 Got a new video for y\u2019all: https:\/\/t.co\/TED9zYma0z Add SeaNanno btw \ud83d\ude09 https:\/\/t.co\/0E0BfblqAV @PUBGMOBILE #ad pic.twitter.com\/qo5Wwsp3oa \u2014 Adam Montoya (@SeaNanners) May 15, 2018 But, on August 29, 2020, he made his comeback. In his return video titled \u201cWhat happened to SeaNanners? Why I left the internet,\u201d Adam went into detail about the exact reasons he left YouTube for so long, and what eventually made him want to return. \u201cIn 2018, that was probably the darkest year of my life.\u201d he said. \u201cI had a lot of emotional debt that had not been paid. I have dealt with anxiety and stress and depression and anger a lot in my life.\u201d \u201cI spent a lot of time uploading videos. But I haven\u2019t spent a lot of time on myself,\u201d he went on to explain. \u201cMy life had sort of become stagnant. I didn\u2019t know where to go, who I was, what was happening.\u201d He explained that he and his partner sold a lot of their belongings and moved to Austin, Texas as a way to reconnect with and reevaluate their lives. He apologized for just \u201cbouncing and not saying anything\u201d and reiterated that he is trying his best to become a \u201cmore stable, stronger, happier person.\u201d Over two years ago, I stopped making videos and posting on social media. A lot of you asked &#8220;&#8221;why&#8221;&#8221; and &#8220;&#8221;what happened?&#8221;&#8221; Let&#8217;s catch up. I&#8217;ll also be in the comment section throughout the day to answer any additional questions. \u270c https:\/\/t.co\/oWd8XPdImJ \u2014 Adam Montoya (@SeaNanners) August 29, 2020 He said he\u2019s \u201cfeeling out\u201d what\u2019s next, with the intention to make both YouTube videos and livestreams, and told viewers that now he has another income stream from a source that isn\u2019t YouTube, he\u2019s able to truly enjoy content creation. Lots of fellow YouTubers welcomed Montaya back, and gave a nod to him as their inspiration for starting YouTube. SeaNanners was my single biggest inspiration to start making videos. From the old Call of Duty commentaries to the gaming funny moments, I&#8217;m sure you guys can see how this guy influenced what I do.
