Le YouTube Burnout

In 2019, a very sad trend emerged in the world of Youtube. And no, this wasn’t a new concept or type of video, but an evil that sadly afflicted many content creators: le burnout. At this time, PewDiePiethe Dolan brothers and others then made a decision that seemed unthinkable some time before: to take a break. Indeed, on a platform where regularity is required to fulfill the sacred algorithm, taking a break means taking the risk of disappearing from the platform for a while or maybe even forever. A dilemma that also applies to other platforms such as Twitch. We also told you about the complex relationship streamers have with their mental health This article.

But so far, the French Youtube seemed to be more or less spared. Of course, some major content creators have gradually eased off or changed paths, but we’ve felt less of that sense of general fatigue that seems to be looming on the horizon. It was like that a few months ago scale who announced that he needed a break, in particular because of an everyday life that was particularly taxing for his mental health. Disrespect, subscribers at his door every day… In his video “I need a break”he described a highly dramatic situation and announced that he would take a step back, away from YouTube and social networks. When the videographer is back on duty, Now it’s another big French Youtube channel to take a little break.

McFly and Carlito take a break

It’s not through a video, it’s about an Instagram post that the duo Mcfly and Carlito announced to move away from Youtube a little bit. The reason ? According to Mcfly, “The race for hyper-produced videos, for guests, for concepts we loved so much and so practical, no longer has the same taste because it has become the norm.” It must be admitted that for a few months now, French Youtube has been making hyper-produced videos the new standard. Just look at the crazy project that was recently announced Inox label to understand that the French Youtube has entered a completely different logic. If we look at the chain of Mcfly and Carlito, there are also many large productions. No fewer than eight videos were distributed over four months, bringing together more than 50 guests and lasting an average of 45 minutes. Gone are the days of short podcasts Cyprien, Mr. V and consorts. Add to that the ever-increasing concurrency and the law of the algorithm we talked about above, and it’s no wonder Carlito talk to us of a “bon gros burnout”.

In addition to this need for “Take a step back” In addition, there is a complicated process for one of the two accomplices. Raphael Carlier says CarlitoShe may have welcomed some happy news… but under, unfortunately, complicated terms. The Youtuber talks about “Holy Complications‘ in reference to their third child, who was born just over a month ago. We hope it’s nothing serious, but his message suggests it’s nothing good either… “Take care” he concludes in the latter. And we can only return this wish to them, whether Carlito, McFly and their families. With a bit of luck, they’ll come back to us more motivated than ever. At least that’s what they promise us:

It’s more fun there, but it will soon be fun again in the freest way
