“I think I should take a break anyways I mean it’s a new year”.
Moreover, she also focused on “preparing for the future” while maintaining some secrecy over all the details. During the live chat, Valkyrae was asked to give hints on what’s next for her after she takes a break from YouTube. Luckily, she had a promising reply to such queries.
