In a video titled "It's been real, but I'm out", PewDiePie, who has been making videos for 10 years, announced that he is going to take a break from making videos for YouTube for an unspecified time period.
"I'm savoring every moment. The truth is, I don't want to go on a break, truth is, I love making videos. I just feel like I need to do this. So one last LWIAY," he said. The YouTuber then went through a bunch of Reddit meme submissions which made viewers emotional.
Pouring himself a drink, he ended the clip by saying, "I just wanted to take this moment to give a toast. Thank you for watching over the years. It is a big thing, even though it isn't a big thing. I want to say thank you for watching my videos; it makes me happy. Cheers to you. One thing I really realized is I love making videos and I love interacting with you guys but I think this year there has just been so much piling up that I should probably cool down for a bit. Then I will come back with 10,000%."
"I don't know when I'll be back, but have a good time. Just, like, enjoy yourself," he concluded. He has become the biggest YouTube star of all time, with 102 million subscribers over the past 10 years.
