Or at least that’s the conclusion one might make from the associated thumbnail.

But no, he isn’t. Instead ‘Pewds’ just decided to take a week break from a pop-up vlog he was running through a stay in LA. The YouTube star even posted a video explaining the stress of producing daily videos while also taping a new series of Scare PewDiePie on YouTube Red.

If you take a quick look at PewDiePie’s YouTube channel you’ll quickly find he’s back.
