In February 2023 Watson made a video titled "Moving on" (later retitled to "Moving forward") stating she was pulling back from political commentary after struggling with depression but would stay active. She stated she would focus on making different content such as her weekly podcast with TheQuartering and her newly created gaming channel titled Sydney Mashes Buttons.Sydney Watson: Moving on, February 10 2023 The Sydney Mashes Buttons channel was quickly abandoned due to declining veiwership and Sydney returned to making similar content as before this announcement including a political website she started with Jeremy Hambly of TheQuartering that largely covers "trans critical" content.
=== You Are Here Podcast ===
Sydney co-hosted the show You Are Here with Elijah Schaeffer on BlazeTV from September 2021 to April 2022. Guests on the show include Chrissie Mayr, Savanah Hernandez, John Doyle, Alex Jones, Sara Gonzales, Gothix, Eric July, Kyle Rittenhouse and Actual Justice Warrior.https://youtu.be/-R9woSO6y_o?t=2360 The channel suffered two strikes and was nearly terminated. 
Sydney missed several episodes due to illness in March 2022, and the show was put on hiatus a month later. She later admitted that she quit the show.
In 2022, Ethan Ralph was set to be a guest on the show, but pulled out due to controversy arising from a fake rape allegation against him, as well as fearing that Nick Rekieta, a Youtuber who he had an online feud with, was planning to ambush him. He then stated that he changed his mind and wanted to appear, but Elijah refused, so Ethan went to the BlazeTV studio and attempted to ambush Elijah. He recorded Elijah on a Cozy.tv stream but he ignored him. Ralph then ridiculed his walk, and called him a homosexual on Telegram.
In early 2023 the You Are Here YouTube channel had all its videos deleted and was repurposed (with its remaining subscribers) as the Prime Time with Alex Stein which replaced the show on BlazeTV.
In February 2023 it was announced that Watson is suing BlazeTV for retaliation and wrongful termination, along with religious and gender discrimination, for alleged abuse by Schaffer.
