For the time being MontanaBlack will retire

The most popular German Streamer MontanaBlack wants to retire completely from the internet for the time being. As the guy who was born in Upper Saxony publicly announced a few days ago, he will for the time being retire from social networks. But what are the reasons for this surprise decision?

In the past we have often reported about Casino-Streamers as MontanaBlack or Knossi. Recently we had asked in an article, whether MontanaBlack had refused a Casino-Deal of over 12 million Euro. However now the successful streamer from Buxtehude has announced that he will for the time being retire from the net. Therefore for the time being there will be no more streams on a regular basis from the internet-star MontanaBlack. But why is it that a Streamer with more than 4.4 million followers just on Twitch alone had such a change of heart from one day to the next, even though he earns a lot of money from his activities?

MontanaBlack: “I have reached rock bottom in my life.”

Many fans of the famous internet star were worried about MontanaBlack in the past days. The 33-year-old has not made any contact with the community since the 13th.February and since then he has also not organised any streams. This was very unusual for the live streamer with more than 4.4 million fans on Twitch, since normally even when he is on holiday or elsewhere he still checks in with his fans at least.

After some days of silence, last weekend MontanaBlack finally made contact with the community – with surprising news. In a short post on Twitter, he announced that he will be taking a break from internet activities, since he is going through a difficult period in his life. The internet star released the following statement:

“I want to say a few words. I am currently facing the lowest point in my life, physically and mentally. Some things have happened away from the internet and I will need some time to become my old self again. When or how this will happen I do not know. Thank you.”

Was the pressure too much?

The sudden “pause in streaming“ of the famous streamer MontanaBlack has surprised thousands of fans all over Germany. Till now the exact reasons why the 33-year-old has retreated from the streaming business are still not known. It is possible that the psychological pressure became too much for the streamer. At the end of the day MontanaBlack did not only have several million fans, but also many critics. In November of last year we had reported about the fight between MontanaBlack with the streaming colleague.

On the 24th. February MontanaBlack then published a detailed statement on YouTube:

Among other things, the 33-year-old here speaks about his teeth, his psyche and NFTs. In the recent past there were some scandals, for which the streamers were harshly criticised. The 33-year-old had recently advertised on Twitter several competitions for NFTs. These were digitalised work of art whereby their proof of ownership can be purchased. A short while later it transpired that this was a scam.

In the beginning of his recent YouTube-Statement MontanaBlack stated:

“For now I will not communicate in public what was exactly happening to me. It should be my decision and at my discretion if I want to say something about it (…) one has to respect the fact that I say that I would like to take some time out for myself.”

The 33-year-old had made it clear from beforehand on Instagram that he does not want to retire completely but that he will simply be taking a break. On Instagram he released the following statement:

“Do not believe everything that the media reports. I had never said that I want to retire completely etc. I currently need to take time for myself, without YouTube/Streams. I myself do not even know, how long this break will be (…).”

Conclusion

No other Internet-Star in Germany enjoys such a large coverage as MontanaBlack. However after many successful years, the 33-year-old announced that for the time being he will be cutting back from social media platforms. It is also possible that with his action and his implication of complete retirement, MontanaBlack wants to especially attract media coverage. However we would like to wish the controversial Twitch-Star all the best for the future and we hope that he will soon be able to begin a better phase of life.
