One of the biggest things to happen on YouTube last year was Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, becoming the most subscribed content creator. But it also meant Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg stepping down from his throne.

PewDiePie is well-known for Let’s Play and reaction videos. But aside from his entertaining content, what helped him be at the top was him regularly uploading videos on the platform. That isn’t the case anymore, as he no longer uploads regularly like he once was. His irregularity has slowed down his growth, leading many fans to call his channel “dead.”

The Swedish creator is aware of these claims, as many fans have asked him about his slow growth many times. So he once addressed this question and revealed the reason for not uploading videos regularly these days.

PewDiePie reveals why he doesn’t upload videos regularly

The former YouTube king once revealed he even thought about starting a new channel, but later gave up. PewDiePie then revealed the reason for not actively making videos, saying, “It’s not that important, and it doesn’t matter. I don’t feel like I need to prove myself to anyone at this point.”

PewDiePie isn’t wrong, as he’s been making videos on the platform since 2010. He has been doing it for over a decade and has achieved many remarkable feats. The Swedish was the first creator to accomplish 100 million subscribers, a feat that seemed impossible once upon a time.

Moreover, PewDiePie is now married to his long-time girlfriend and would want to spend more time with her. He also moved to his dream country, Japan, last year. So he would prefer to explore the new country he is living in now with his wife.

The Swedish creator will follow his heart

Last year he attended the Trash Talk podcast, where he was asked if he retired from content creation. He claimed that he’s been making YouTube videos for a decade. So, it won’t be surprising that he’s tired of it, and that is the case.

Moreover, he shared that he doesn’t like the pressure of “chasing algorithms” and doesn’t want to chase numbers like he once did. Instead, the 33-year-old now wants to make videos which he wants to do. This is another significant reason for him not uploading many videos.
