YouTube's biggest star PewDiePie wants to start his own network with friends.
Maker Studios client Felix Kjellberg (known as PewDiePie) is the most subscribed YouTube personality with 31 million subscribers.
In an interview with Swedish magazine Icon, Kjelberg is considering creating an independent network with his friends when his contract with Maker Studios is up.
"I'd rather not talk too much about it," PewDiePie said in the interview. "I'm in touch with a couple of people who I think would be so right for this. I'm eager to get it all up and running."
But Kjellberg described his relationship with Maker as relatively hands-off.
"The fact that Disney bought Maker Studios doesn't really change anything for me," he said. "If I ask for help, they reply, but that's all the contact we have. We'll see what happens."
Kjellberg rose to fame five years ago when he joined YouTube and started uploading videos of him playing games.
In June, The Wall Street Journal reported that the YouTube star makes $4 million from ad sales on his videos.
Kjellberg is very critical on the networks that managed him.
"So far, all the networks have been managed in such an incredibly poor way it's embarrassing really," he said. "I'd like to help YouTubers."
"During the time I was a member of their network, I grew into the world's biggest YouTuber - and they didn't even know I was with them," he said when asked to describe his previous managers. "They didn't get in touch a single time, except when I wanted to leave - then their CEO emailed me once."
