Emma Chamberlain Is 'Taking A Break' From YouTube
Bad news, guys. In a move that is utterly not approved by me, this week YouTuber Emma Chamberlain announced she’s taking a break from the platform so she can reflect and “evolve”.
Reaching millions of subscribers each week, queen Chamberlain’s content – as we recently pointed out – offers a refreshing break from the toxic culture surrounding some of the key creators on the platform.
Last week, though, Emma posted that she’d taken a short break from creating. “i took this week off to make cheese boards and go to the beach and clear my mind, so no video this week. but i will see you soon. i love you all, and i hope you had a relaxing and beautiful sunday *forehead kiss😚 *,” she wrote.
Emma then resurfaced earlier this week to let us know that the break would be extended for a bit longer than she initially anticipated, promising it’s “not a negative thing”. “taking a few more weeks off to think ....” she wrote. “i need to take my own advice on taking a break when it's needed. this isn't a negative thing though, i'm thinking a lot about how i can evolve and make things that truly excite me.”
“i haven't taken a step back in a long time to ask myself what that means. i love and appreciate you and i will see you soon *forehead kiss😚 *.”
So, it looks like we’ll all just have to practice some patience as we await the YouTuber’s return. (I miss her already.)
See you soon, Emma. And enjoy the cheese.
