PewDiePie on what would make him retire from YouTube During the interview, Padilla asked the star if he had an eventual \u201cend goal\u201d for his YouTube channel. Pewds replied by revealing the circumstances that would make him walk away from making content. \u201cI just want to keep having fun with it, and once I stop having fun with it, that will probably be the time to go. But I have no idea when that is,\u201d he explained. He then laughed and said, \u201cLooking back in 2013, I remember being like, \u201cOkay, maybe another 2 years,\u201d but now it\u2019s just like, I guess I\u2019ll just keep going.\u201d The Smosh personality then asked the YouTuber if he still found his busy workload fulfilling. Laughing, PewDiePie said, \u201cI will probably scale down more and more as I go. But yeah, I still enjoy doing it.\u201d (Topic starts at 17:06.) While the 30-year-old has no plans to retire anytime soon, he also explained why he needed to take a one-month long break to avoid \u201cYouTuber Burnout.\u201d In January, the creator put his channel on hiatus for the first time in a decade. \u201cHonestly, I had made videos for so long, like 10 years, that I just got this sort of YouTube-life crisis. I don\u2019t know what to call it. I\u2019m just like \u2018Am I going to spend another 10 years and never take a break? What the f**k am I doing? This is insane!’\u201d he said. The star revealed the much-needed vacation made him realize he doesn\u2019t need to keep making content to be happy. \u201c[Taking a break] for a month taught me a lot about myself. Even though I missed YouTube, I also realized I can totally live without it.\u201d Since returning from his vacation at the start of 2020, PewDiePie has become one of the top streamers in the world. In March, he signed a deal with YouTube to broadcast exclusively on their platform, which has seemed to pay off as he pulls in over 60,000 viewers each time he goes live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
