Whats it like to work consistently without taking breaks? Well, thats a feeling most of us are familiar with. Sometimes, as you can imagine, non-stop work ends up taking a toll on your mental health.
This is true for social media celebrities in general. Their job requires them being in the spotlight of audiences and media. On top of that, what if you were the biggest YouTuber on the planet with 100 million+ subscribers?
Pewdiepie (Felix Kjellberg) has been consistently uploading videos on YouTube for a decade (10 years) without long breaks. If you count the number of days in a decade, that’s approximately 30,525 days.
Pewdiepie recently announced that he is taking a break from YouTube in 2020. And after working consistently for 10 years, he deserves it. A rational decision, after the media fanned the flames on baseless accusations regarding Pewdiepie.

Felix had a response for this. And of course he made a video about it, pointing out the absurd headlines.
