"I think just doing the same kinda stuff is feeling very stale."

PewDiePie talks about changes in content his break?

While addressing the current status of his YouTube channel as a "sidequest," Kjellberg asked his viewers to suggest ideas for new content.

"Everyone's so f****** nifty with YouTube though."

The 32-year-old went on to reminisce about the enthusiasm with which he used to create his earlier videos. He enacted his extreme focus on elements of thumbnails and statistics, exclaiming the lack of need to do such things anymore:

"I remember back in the day, I was so like - 'okay, the most efficient way to do this video; is that thumbnail good enough? What are my stats?' I can't be bothered (anymore)."

However, he did show the flip side to such a mentality, by talking about how he questioned the measure of his success and his ability to maintain it. The drop in enthusiasm seems to have put him in an awkward position:

"But it's like, if I don't care, it feels like I'm failing?"

Kjellberg reaffirmed his belief in making content that he likes while acknowledging that questions of doubt still hover over him.

"...even though it's not really what I care about, so I shouldn't? But it's still there."
