'Cannot solely rely on this income, stopping YouTube channel': Firoz Chuttipara announces new decision

Firoz Chuttipara, a YouTuber known for his unique cooking videos — including grilling snakes and ostriches — has announced a decision that may disappoint his followers. The popular YouTuber, who has over nine million subscribers, revealed that he is stopping regular uploads on his YouTube channel.

Firoz stated that it is no longer feasible to rely solely on YouTube revenue and that he is preparing for a new venture. “I am currently in Sharjah. We are considering taking a small step forward, which is why I came to Dubai. I am thinking of moving into business. At present, YouTube is my only source of income.

If I start another business without relying on this income, will you support me? I am considering opening a restaurant, but I am not sure how successful it will be. The food business is risky, but I want to start something and build a brand,” he said.

He shared the news through a video titled ‘I am stopping my YouTube channel.’ Firoz added that instead of long-format videos, he would now appear more frequently through reels. However, he clarified that he is not abandoning the YouTube channel entirely.
