Gaming star PewDiePie has signed an exclusive deal to live-stream on YouTube, after switching to a rival platform in 2019.<\/p>\n
PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, is YouTube’s biggest independent video-maker with more than 104 million subscribers.<\/p>\n
But he signed an exclusive deal with rival platform Dlive in 2019.<\/p>\n
Mr Kjellberg said returning to YouTube was a “natural fit” as he looked for new ways to connect with fans.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old Swedish video-maker began posting videos on YouTube in 2010.<\/p>\n
He found success playing and commenting on video games, posting daily videos for several years.<\/p>\n
But in 2019, he announced he would no longer be live-streaming on YouTube and would instead move to Dlive, which promised better financial returns for its content creators.<\/p>\n
He gained 822,000 followers on the new platform.<\/p>\n
In January 2020, PewDiePie took a short break from making YouTube videos because he was “feeling very tired”, but he continued posting his regular videos on YouTube after his break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
