PewDiePie admits he \u201ccan\u2019t be bothered\u201d with YouTube hustle anymore Instagram: pewdiepie \/ YouTubeOriginal YouTube icon Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has clarified his recent comments on creative burnout, admitting that he can no longer \u201cbe bothered\u201d with the platform\u2019s constant hustle. When it comes to making content on the internet, PewDiePie has seen and done it all. With more than a decade of consistent effort on YouTube alone, the Swedish superstar remains the biggest individual creator on the platform today. Though keeping up with the latest trends and putting in the hard work has certainly taken its toll. Numerous lengthy breaks in recent years have all come as a result of his burnout. \u201cI\u2019m kind of getting tired of it,\u201d Pewds said back in December. After a few weeks of relative peace and quiet to start the new year, he returned for a Skyrim stream on January 19 with much the same tone. In fact, he even doubled down and explained why he \u201c[doesn\u2019t] care\u201d about the grind anymore. \u201cFor the past year and a half I\u2019ve just been side-questing YouTube,\u201d PewDiePie addressed early in his latest stream. Despite regular uploads over the past few months, all of which have gone on to millions of views as usual, he\u2019s now in search of \u201csomething different.\u201d \u201cEveryone\u2019s so f**king nifty with YouTube,\u201d he said. Compared to the newer crop of YouTube celebs on the rise, Pewds admitted he just \u201ccan\u2019t be f**ked anymore.\u201d \u201cBack in the day\u201d, Kjellberg claimed, he was \u201cso efficient\u201d with everything from thumbnail design, editing, and settling on the best titles to stand out. Recently, he simply \u201ccan\u2019t be bothered\u201d matching that effort. \u201cI feel like I need a new direction,\u201d he told thousands of fans watching live. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m living in some weird void. What\u2019s next? I have no idea. I need something new, but I don\u2019t know what.\u201d Despite struggling with this admission, he still can\u2019t fully commit to stepping away from YouTube just yet. \u201cIf I don\u2019t care, it feels like I\u2019m failing,\u201d he explained. Even though Pewds has \u201cconsidered [himself] retired for a year now,\u201d don\u2019t expect him to be outright quitting anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
