The 30-year-old star said to his 102 million subscribers in a video uploaded on December 14, 2019,

“I am taking (a) break from YouTube next year. I wanted to say it in advance because I made up my mind. I'm tired, I'm feeling very tired. I don't know if you can tell ... early next year I'll be away for a little while. I'll explain that later but I wanted to give a heads up."

The Swedish vlogger who married Marzia Bisognin, 27 on August 19, 2019, is the first individual creator to reach 100 million subscribers on YouTube the same week.

Just days later after posting the video, PewDiePie deleted his Twitter account after uploading a video on December 16 titled I hate Twitter.
