Craig Thompson, better known by his online moniker \u201cMini Ladd,\u201d boasts a variety of content on his channel, with everything from gaming videos to meme reactions, vlogs, and more earning him a dedicated fanbase. However, Thompson concerned his audience after announcing an unexpected break from making videos at the beginning of the new year, marking a sharp contrast to his usual upload schedule. Craig made this official announcement in a Tweet on January 15, writing, \u201c\u2026I\u2019m taking my first break from YouTube in the 9 years I\u2019ve been doing this. Life has got me messed up and i\u2019ll be back when I know I can make good content again. I love you all. I wont be long.\u201d Just over a month later, Thompson made his return to YouTube in an 11-minute video where he explained the myriad of issues behind his extended hiatus from the website. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MiniLaddd\/status\/1217532947831513088?s=20 According to the YouTuber, his life had gotten so hectic that he had to put the brakes on his content creation, citing his move to Los Angeles, his live tour, mental health, and travel for multiple projects as part of the problem. \u201cI struggle a lot with mental health issues,\u201d he began. \u201cIt\u2019s not something to brush aside. It\u2019s something you need to take seriously or else it\u2019s going to catch up with you, and that\u2019s exactly what happened. I was on tour, I was rushing videos out, I was just putting up anything I could. I wasn\u2019t proud of the videos I was putting up.\u201d That\u2019s not all: he also explained that he\u2019d broken up with longtime girlfriend and popular streamer Sami, who had taken their two dogs in the split as part of their mutual decision. \u201cAre we still friends?\u201d he continued. \u201cYeah. It was a clean breakup in the sense that we don\u2019t hate each other. It\u2019s not like we\u2019re blocking each other or talking sh*t, or whatever.\u201d While Thompson claimed he won\u2019t be back with daily videos right away, he is \u201cfeeling good\u201d after taking some time to recover, and fans are excited to see what he\u2019s got in store for the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mini Ladd reveals why he took a sudden two-month YouTube hiatus MiniLadd, YouTubeMini Ladd is a popular face on YouTube, boasting well over 5 million subscribers on the platform \u2014 but his extended hiatus from the site left viewers confused and concerned for the future of his content.
