Thanks to his funny commentary videos, Coryx Kenshin has amassed over 5 million fans on YouTube. However, the celebrity abruptly stopped using the platform last year, which he revealed in a follow-up post a few months later.
When Cory stopped using social media nine months ago, followers and other YouTubers were perplexed and eager for the creator to return with new videos.
But the internet celebrity didn’t make a comeback until April 3, when he posted a 15-minute video detailing his whereabouts and the reasons behind his decision to withdraw from YouTube and all other social media sites.

Would CoryxKenshin Return Back to Youtube
Cory explained in his video that he had taken the time off for some much-needed rest. He included films from his journeys to Japan, New York, and other locations, as well as several Make-A-Wish meetings with supporters.
Even though he insisted that he had the “time of his life” during his sabbatical, he acknowledged that he had been experiencing anxiety related to creating videos and going back to YouTube in general.
“On this side of the camera, it hasn’t been all sunshine and blue skies the entire time,” he said. “There were moments when I felt overwhelmed by anxiety and my overanalysis of the situation.”
He said that despite his repeated attempts to return to YouTube over the previous year, he wasn’t passionate about it and felt anxious and bad about depriving his audience of content in the interim.
He said, “I would turn on the camera, and my heart would not be in it.” “It cannot be forced. Sure, but it’s just a little off. Usually, people can spot fraudulent YouTubers. I wish never to pretend. I would never want to always claim to be happy or have a perfect existence.”
The YouTuber thanked his followers for sticking with him during his hiatus. It said he needed to “recharge,” realizing he couldn’t consistently produce viral videos.
