Brad said: “Liam and I have been discussing a few things, and Liam is not going to be so much a permanent member of World of the Orange.”
“Liam has decided he would rather concentrate on his graphic design career which is is cool, there is no bad blood.”

Brad also confirmed WOTO will continue without Liam, stating: “I dont want to quit this job, because this is the best job I have ever had.”
Although Liam will no longer be focusing on WOTO, he will still occasionally appear on the channel and is set to feature in an upcoming brand collaboration with Nintendo.
The YouTube community have left messages of support for WOTO in comments and on social media.
Tis a sad day for WOTO. But still, lots of love for @buffwoto and @luffwoto in both paths they're taking! They are great. Forever.
