James Charles explains why he needed to take a break from the internet Instagram: jamescharlesBeauty influencer James Charles has revealed why he\u2019s now uploading less on YouTube, saying he had to take a step back from the internet to focus on himself. James Charles is without a doubt one of the biggest beauty creators in the YouTube community. He started making videos in December 2015, and since then he has gone on to collab with plenty of famous faces and has racked up over 24 million subscribers. However, although the influencer has a large following, he has also faced a number of controversies over the years. Most recently he took a break from the internet as a whole after he was accused of \u201cgrooming\u201d multiple underage boys, leading to an avalanche of backlash. He returned to posting on YouTube in July, but with a reduced upload schedule. In a new video with Hollywood Fix, Charles has explained why he needed to take a step back from the internet, and why he\u2019s decreased his number of weekly uploads over the years. \u201cI\u2019m okay,\u201d he said. \u201cI took a break for a while but it was definitely much needed. We came back a couple of months ago and I\u2019ve just been taking it really really slow.\u201d He went on to add: \u201cIt\u2019s been really nice. I used to post three videos a week a couple of years ago, then I went down to two, now I only do one. But it\u2019s been really nice to just have a lot more time to just focus on myself and my makeup brand and all the products that I\u2019m working on. \u201cLike I was literally at the point of overworking myself so much to the point of exhaustion. Which was fun, like I really had the mentality that that was the recipe for happiness and success. So I\u2019m really glad that I\u2019ve been focusing on more things that bring me happiness, and not so worried about all the work aspect and stuff.\u201d Topic starts at 0:26 When asked whether he thinks people were trying to \u201ccancel\u201d him, James replied that \u201cthat happens all the time on the internet,\u201d and that he just needed to take a \u201cstep away.\u201d James has been back for several months now, with videos exploring not just beauty trends and challenges but also responding to some of his most viral moments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
