CoryxKenshin explains why he left YouTube for nine months CoryxKenshin, YouTubeCoryxKenshin is a hugely popular YouTuber, boasting over 5 million subscribers due to his humorous commentary videos \u2014 but the star disappeared from the platform last year, which he explained in his unexpected return months later. Cory took a sudden hiatus from all social media nine months ago, with fans and fellow YouTubers both confused and desperate for the creator to make a comeback with more videos. However, the internet star didn\u2019t return until April 3, uploading a 15-minute-long video explaining where he\u2019d been and why he\u2019d chosen to step back not only from YouTube, but from all social media platforms, altogether. In his video, Cory clarified that he\u2019d taken the time off for some much-needed R&R, showing viewers footage from his trips to Japan, New York, and other excursions, including multiple Make-A-Wish visits with fans. While he claimed that he\u2019d had the \u201ctime of his life\u201d during his break, he also admitted that he\u2019d been struggling with anxiety over making videos and returning to YouTube, in general. \u201cIt hasn\u2019t been sunshine and blue skies the entire time on this side of the camera,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere were indeed some times that the anxiety, and just me overthinking things really came down on me.\u201d Despite making multiple attempts at coming back to YouTube throughout last year, he claimed his heart wasn\u2019t in it, and felt stressed and guilty about leaving his viewers without content in the interim. \u201cI would turn the camera on, and my heart would not be in it,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou can\u2019t force it. You can, but it\u2019s just kinda wack. People can usually see through fake YouTubers. I never want to be fake. I never want to purport that my life is perfect and I\u2019m happy all the time. I\u2019m not.\u201d The YouTuber ended his video by thanking his fans for their loyalty in spite of his break and explaining that he\u2019d needed to \u201crecharge,\u201d understanding that he can\u2019t expect himself to pump out viral videos at all times. Cory\u2019s video has since shot to the top of YouTube\u2019s Trending page and has garnered over two million views at the time of writing \u2014 so it\u2019s safe to say that his community is both relieved and happy that he\u2019s finally back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
