PewDiePie admitted that he was \u201cannoyed\u201d with all the talk of mental health surrounding creators\u2019 recent string of breaks from YouTube, claiming that BBC News had even reached out to him for comment on the issue. \u201cI\u2019m getting a little annoyed by it,\u201d he claimed. \u201cI\u2019m not gonna lie. It\u2019s like, shut up. Shut up, children. Just take a break.\u201d PewDiePie went on to cite YouTube\u2019s statement refuting concerns of potential channel decline during breaks, and encouraged YouTubers to step away from the platform should they feel overwhelmed \u2013 despite fears that they might lose subscribers. He then stated that Singh\u2019s announcement video was likely made to draw attention to her channel, claiming that the \u201cbest way to get people\u2019s attention\u201d is through a big announcement video. \u201cThat\u2019s the reason why she wanted to take a break to begin with,\u201d he continued. \u201cProbably, her channel isn\u2019t doing as well, and probably she isn\u2019t happy with what she\u2019s making.\u201d PewDiePie also took issue with YouTubers\u2019 need to \u201cmonetize everything,\u201d and even predicted that \u201cbreak announcement\u201d videos could end up becoming a trend in the near future. \u201cNot every decision you make has to be for your YouTube channel,\u201d he argued. \u201c\u2026It\u2019s annoying seeing praise for making a statement about taking a break, because now, it\u2019s just gonna be a further trend, I think.\u201d While Singh doesn\u2019t know how long her break will last, she did admit that she will be making a return when she feels the time is right, and is currently seeking therapy in the interim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
