For many, PewDiePie has been the face of online entertainment for the last decade. The content creator went from his humble roots in Sweden in 2010 to being YouTube\u2019s biggest star with a staggering 106 million subscribers to his channel. On August 2, the entertainer explained to his audience why fans asking him for selfies has began to take a toll on him. The 30-year-old said taking photos had started to feel \u201cdehumanizing\u201d and \u201cuncomfortable\u201d for him. PewDiePie on taking selfies with fans in public The YouTuber took time out of his latest episode of Last Week I Asked You to address viewers about taking selfies with them out in public. \u201cI\u2019ve decided, no more selfies,\u201d he announced. Pewds then said he was worried that people would take his decision out of context, and asked fans to watch until the end. \u201cI love meeting you guys. I love doing these meetups where it\u2019s a set place to hang out and just talk. But I think my life has just become to a point where whenever I go outside, I have to just be ready whatever I\u2019m doing to just stop, and take a photo,\u201d he said. He then clarified that he doesn\u2019t mind talking with his fans in public, but rather he hates the photo aspect. \u201cI don\u2019t mind to just stop and chat with you guys, but the whole photo process to me\u2026 I don\u2019t like it. You do like a thousand of them, and after a while you feel like an animal at a zoo that\u2019s like a prop for someone. And I don\u2019t like it. I\u2019m tired of it. I don\u2019t want to do it anymore.\u201d (Timestamp 15:07 for mobile users.) The creator stated that he didn\u2019t expect everyone to understand, but believed his fans would respect his point of view. He revealed that taking pictures would sometimes give away where he lives. \u201cI don\u2019t always want people to know where I am. If everyone just took their photo and didn\u2019t share it, fine. But the problem is people share it online. It\u2019s so uncomfortable!\u201d PewDiePie wrapped up the announcement by clarifying that he would love to take selfies with fans at meet and greets or scheduled events, however that he will no longer take photos out in public. With over 106 million subscribers, the Swedish star is not only the biggest individual YouTuber, but one of the most recognized entertainers in the world. His lack of privacy is something most could not comprehend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
