YouTuber PewDiePie back after a month break

PewDiePie is back after a break of just a few weeks. The controversial Swedish YouTube star announced a break in December because he was tired, but posted another video on his channel on Friday.

“I have returned. After a month, a long pause, I am back,” says the 30-year-old Swede in the video, who has been viewed more than six million times within a day. Although the past time was “actually pretty fun”, PewDiePie missed making videos. He says he will get back to work and not just limit himself in the future to making videos on a daily basis.

In December he announced that he would not make any videos for the time being. “I’m taking a break from YouTube next year. I’m tired and feel exhausted,” he said.

PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, is one of the world’s most successful YouTubers with more than 103 million subscribers. With his videos he became discredited several times. For example, in one of his videos he made anti-Semitic jokes and in another he called a fellow player a nigger during a shooting game. Both times the Swede received a lot of criticism.
