PewDiePie also talks about his plans for the future of the channel

He still uploads fairly regularly, just not as often as his old schedule of one video a day

All this builds the context for what PewDiePie explains in his recent video

He explains that he couldn’t quit even after everything because of how supportive his community was.

PewDiePie admits that he was addicted to YouTube to such an unhealthy degree
