Lately it seems like every popular YouTuber is either taking a break or quitting altogether. Most recently, the legendary MatPat stepped away from making videos after almost 15 years, and a recent video from Markiplier has caused fans to worry that he may be leaving too.
Recommended VideosMark Fischbach, AKA Markiplier, started out making let’s play videos of horror games back in the golden age for those kinds of videos. Around the same time, Pewdiepie was just starting his astronomical rise to fame, and with him we saw a tidal wave of gaming content sweep the platform for years. Markiplier’s subscriber count has grown steadily over the years, currently sitting at 36.5 million, and while staying true to his roots, he’s made a healthy living from doing what he loves.
He’s still heavily involved in the horror game community to this day, while still branching out and doing new stuff — oh, and to top it all off, he’s got to be one of the least problematic, and most-deserving-of-fame YouTubers on the platform. People love Mark, so if he were to quit doing what he’s doing, it would be a huge loss for the internet.
When a YouTuber uploads a video with a thumbnail of their face and the title “I’m Tired,” you kind of already know what to expect, especially considering how many big name creators have gone into retirement lately. The video is currently trending, with over 3 million views, and I’ll admit, when I saw it on my homepage my heart sank, and I wasn’t the only one. Over on X, people expressed their shock at seeing the video, and the worry they felt that he was going to actually quit.
