Some cited creative burnout and personal reasons for their exit from streaming. Another famous YouTuber, Jacksepticeye, took a break from the platform to look after his mental health and manage his work-life balance. He was uploading videos daily, and at one stage, he decided to upload whenever he wanted to. Pokimane also prioritised her personal life and other projects over streaming. Many celebrities are struggling to balance their personal and professional lives. Fans are hoping to see Kyedae back on streaming.
