Markiplier explains how he climbed out of \u201crut\u201d to hit huge YouTube goal YouTube: MarkiplierMark \u2018Markiplier\u2019 Fischbach has celebrated a massive milestone on YouTube, reaching 25 million subscribers on the platform, although he explained he had to climb out of some pretty big holes to make it there. Markiplier is one of the faces of YouTube, having gotten his rise on the platform almost a decade ago alongside the likes of Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg and Sean \u2018Jacksepticeye\u2019 McLoughlin. The American content creator has changed his tone from his early days from gaming to a wider variety of skits, but his drive to keep making new videos has never stopped as he kept knocking down milestone after milestone. Hitting the 25 million subscriber mark on his main channel is another sign of validation for the wildly-successful Markiplier, who has described his life as being \u201cexceptionally busy\u201d in recent times. While he might not upload to YouTube as much as he once did, the American is constantly striving to pump out high-quality content, and feels a tinge of regret when he doesn\u2019t. \u201cI\u2019ve been busy trying to get ahead because I don\u2019t like not uploading. Contrary to popular belief of what people think, I actually don\u2019t like not uploading things. \u201cI enjoy making videos, and lately I\u2019ve been enjoying making videos more than anything. It\u2019s been a really satisfying experience in terms of just creating on the internet. It\u2019s weird \u2014 I\u2019m supposed to be burned out by this point.\u201d For mobile readers, the related segment starts at 11:01. It wasn\u2019t like that all the time though. The YouTuber was going through the motions at one point, uploading for the sake of uploading, rather than enjoying the ride. He was too focused on numbers, and every milestone seemed \u201cinsignificant.\u201d \u201cI haven\u2019t really been celebrating a lot of milestones lately because in a big way, the numbers are not important. For all of you budding YouTubers out there, or if you want to be successful on social media, I would encourage you not to be focused on the numbers,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve always made a big stink about saying \u2018thank you,\u2019 and to be perfectly honest, I think the reason I\u2019ve fallen out of it is because I was in a rut for so long. I was in a little stinker of a rut. It hit around 17, 18 million subscribers and I started to wonder \u2018okay what do I do now?\u2019 \u201cYou\u2019ve probably heard this a million times from other YouTubers and stuff, but for me \u2014 I\u2019ve talked about it a little bit here \u2014 I was in a little bit of a rut. I started to shy away from the concept of thanking you guys for every single milestone because they felt less and less special each time. To get out of it, the YouTuber had to change his approach to life, not just how he was creating his regular content. \u201cIt\u2019s really f**king hard to do what you want to do if you are not on top of the things that you are doing while you are doing it. In addition to trying to get my life in order in terms of the projects I\u2019m working on, I\u2019m also trying to get my life in order just in terms of my life,\u201d he admitted. \u201cTrying to get into a regular schedule, trying to get out of bed as soon I wake up, trying to stay on top of things I try to accomplish on a day-to-day basis, trying to get writing done where I can, squeezing it in where it is and where it does. Now, Markiplier is in the right space to keep pushing ahead, harder than he has before. \u201cRight now, I\u2019m in such a good place. I\u2019m not going to get emotional about it, but seriously, thank you guys. Thank you for sticking with me for so long. Thank you for being with me through this journey,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a long way to go left on the things that I want to make, and I\u2019ve got a ton of other things I want to do with doing what I\u2019m doing.\u201d The YouTuber also announced he had some major projects coming up, although he was tight-lipped on some of the details. A sequel to his YouTube original \u201cA Heist With Markiplier\u201d series is on the way, as well as some more content with Ethan Nestor for Unus Annus. His eyes are also up on more big milestones in the future, and he is ready to make good on a promise to celebrate every little joy with his loyal fanbase in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
