  • PewDiePie posts heartfelt message to ‘Dillon the Hacker’ following rumored death – Dexerto

    PewDiePie posts heartfelt message to ‘Dillon the Hacker’ following rumored death PewDiePie, Dillon the Hacker – YouTubeYouTube king Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg has addressed the presumed death of fellow YouTuber and internet comedian Dillon “Dillon the Hacker” Henderson, who has been rumored deceased at 20 years old. PewDiePie posted a heartfelt Tweet following news of Dillon’s death, acknowledging their long-standing “feud” across multiple YouTube videos throughout the years. “Dillon the hacker was such a talented young comedian,” Kjellberg wrote. “He successfully trolled my entire audience at one point. Such sad news to hear about his passing. My condolences to his family and close ones. RIP Dillon.” Dillon the hacker was such a talented young comedian. He succesfully trolled my entire audience at one point. Such sad news to hear about his passing. My condolences to his family and close ones. RIP Dillon— ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) August 29, 2019 While Kjellberg’s August 29 Tweet acknowledged Dillon’s death, many fans thought his passing was a mere hoax, with the YouTuber rumored to have passed away in late July. Dillon’s Twitter profile describes him as a “20 year old YouTuber with the goal of chaos” – a goal he rightly achieved, as evidenced by his “war” against PewDiePie and his “nine-year-old army.” This “war” between the two YouTubers dates back as far as 2014, when Dillon uploaded his “PewDiePie Roast” video, claiming that the Swede wasn’t a “true gamer, like me.” Calling himself the “new meaning of rebel” and threatening to “hack everything you love,” Dillon and PewDiePie were embroiled in a hilarious series of battles that had fans glued to their screens. However, it looks like their feud has now come to an end after rumors have circulated of the young YouTuber’s death. Fans and friends of Dillon have shared their condolences across social media, with Twitter user “MC Selma” claiming to have been a friend of the late YouTuber and confirming his passing. “Many of you may be familiar with the name ‘Dillon the hacker,’” Selma wrote. “He is someone who has provided us with such amazing satirical content. It is why it is with great sadness for me to say that a month ago he passed away.” Even top YouTuber “Jacksepticeye” responded to Selma’s now-viral Tweet, writing, “This is sad. Dillon made some funny videos. RIP.” While Selma claimed that she cannot give any further information due to respecting the privacy of Dillon’s family, fans of the deceased are posting an outpouring of sympathy across social media in wake of the tragic news. Dexerto has not been able to independently verify these claims, despite the support from around the internet.

  • PewDiePie opens up on YouTube burnout as he announces break – Dexerto

    PewDiePie opens up on YouTube burnout as he announces break YouTube: PewDiePieFelix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has opened up about his YouTube burnout as he announces he’s taking a break from uploading videos. Since his start on YouTube in 2013, PewDiePie uploaded content consistently until he took his first break ever in January 2020. As he announced another break in 2021, it appears that the Swedish YouTuber may be making his leave an annual event. During a stream on January 3, Kjellberg announced that fans will have to go without his regularly scheduled content for another month, and he opened up about his YouTube burnout from uploading almost daily videos all year. PewDiePie burnt out from YouTube, announces break Starting off his stream, PewDiePie told his community that he was “technically” on break and that he usually takes the month of January away from uploading videos. He explained: “I’m not gonna upload this month I think. I feel kinda, not burnt out, but it would be nice to take some time off. Even these two days where I haven’t uploaded, it feels good not having to think about what to upload.” Felix also mentioned that January is the best month for him to take off, presumably because his video and stream views aren’t as good. The YouTuber went on to thank his community for not pressuring him into uploading videos. He did, however, note that he may still stream a few times during the month. For the last two years, PewDiePie made a public announcement regarding his break from the platform. But this year, he just casually mentioned it during his stream, so perhaps we’re going to see the creator take a leave of absence every January. Either way, fans will definitely miss the creator during his vacation. The creator’s subreddit, /r/pewdiepiesubmissions, has gone hilariously wild during his last two breaks with a wide variety of memes surrounding his absence, so we’ll have that to look forward to over the next few weeks.

  • PewDiePie attempts MrBeast’s 20 mil tree-planting charity in Minecraft – Dexerto

    PewDiePie attempts MrBeast’s 20 mil tree-planting charity in Minecraft Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg is the undisputed king of YouTube, boasting 102 million subscribers in wake of his battle with T-Series. The Swede’s now using his massive platform to boost the charity work of another popular YouTuber, MrBeast. YouTube philanthropist Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson unveiled his #TeamTrees project in late October as a response to fans asking that he plant 20 million trees in honor of his 20 million subscriber milestone. His enterprise has since gone viral, with internet celebs across the net pitching in to reach the lofty goal before the year’s end – and PewDiePie is one of these stars. In honor of MrBeast’s massive undertaking, PewDiePie set out to plant a whopping 20 million trees in Minecraft – his latest content horse – despite others having already completed a similar task. Rather than arduously planting them by hand, Kjellberg created an intricate and “unnecessarily difficult” automated system that pumped out bone meal (a special fertilizer in the Minecraft world) and trees alike. 600In spite of his best efforts, PewDiePie’s “complicated” machine couldn’t produce 20 million trees in the time allotted – an understandable setback, considering that the undertaking was already killing his framerate. “Okay, so maybe it wasn’t 20 million trees,” the YouTuber conceded. “But this is as many as I can get. Check out Team Trees. Save the planet.” Kjellberg’s latest Minecraft stint follows his meme-worthy donation to the TeamTrees initiative on October 31, where he donated a humorous $69,420 to the cause. However, PewDiePie isn’t even the project’s biggest benefactor: Tesla CEO Elon Musk rose to the top with a one million dollar donation, which was contested by Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke with one million and one trees. Boomer here who didnt realize you could leave a message. This is from the 9 year olds #TeamTrees pic.twitter.com/y5BDOSAu6b — ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) October 31, 2019 With each tree costing a single dollar, business moguls and YouTubers alike are helping to create a better planet, and thanks to their efforts, TeamTrees has successfully reached 12.9 million trees thus far. Having donated a huge amount to the cause, PewDiePie’s TeamTrees contribution marks the latest of his charitable exploits, with the YouTube king having raised money for ‘Child Rights and You’ and other organizations in the past. With less than two months until the year’s end, time is ticking down to the end of MrBeast’s project – and there are still seven million more trees that need planting!

  • PewDiePie opens up on declining health of beloved pug Maya: “She’s so old” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie opens up on declining health of beloved pug Maya: “She’s so old” Instagram: pewdiepieYouTube king PewDiePie gave fans a somber update regarding the declining health of his elderly pet pug, Maya. Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg and wife Marzia are the proud owners of two pugs, Maya and Edgar. They’ve owned the adorable pups for years, and fans have been able to watch the dogs grow up and subsequently enter their golden years in the care of the famous YouTube couple. Felix and Marzia recently moved to Japan from the UK, opting to fly their pugs in a private jet rather than risking their health in a stuffy cargo hold. Although both dogs made it to their destination safe and sound, Maya — their female pug who is missing an eye — is experiencing some health issues as a result of her age. PewDiePie opened up on her well-being in a July 20 vlog, admitting that the nearly 17-year-old pug is suffering from dementia. “We’ll see how she develops,” he said, showing off the adorable pup to his fans. “But Maya has the ‘dementies.’ She’s so old. Her mind is kinda declining a bit. Sorry I’m saying it in front of everyone.” (Topic begins at 16:09) According to the East Bay Veterinary Clinic, canine dementia is a “cognitive disorder in dogs that causes similar symptoms to Alzheimer’s in humans.” These symptoms include anxiety, confusion, failure to remember routines, not recognizing their name, and extreme irritability — something PewDiePie touched on in his vlog, claiming that Maya often gets “pissed off” and “angry” during certain times of the day. For now, it seems as though Maya is being well taken care of by her owners and often goes out with the couple, alongside Edgar, for outings in their new home in Japan.

  • PewDiePie opens up on his whiskey addiction: “I had a problem” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie opens up on his whiskey addiction: “I had a problem” YouTube: PewDiePieYouTube star Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has opened up about his past addiction to whiskey, explaining that he used alcohol to cope with stress and anxiety during his controversies a few years ago. PewDiePie is the most-followed independent content creator on YouTube, garnering a jaw-dropping 110 million subscribers throughout his eleven years on the platform. Rivaling the likes of major corporate channels like T-Series and Coco Melon, the Swedish YouTube sensation has created quite a legacy for himself — but it hasn’t been all sunshine and roses for this internet star. PewDiePie has experienced a number of controversies throughout his decade-long career, most notably firing off a racial slur during a live broadcast in 2017. In October 2021, he opened up about this incident, claiming that he used alcohol as a coping mechanism to counter the stress of the situation after initially trying to quit to prioritize his physical health. PewDiePie explains his past alcohol addiction “I used to drink whiskey every single day, and I realized I was getting addicted when I was trying to cut down on it, and just how difficult that was,” he explained. “In retrospect, I realize that I was dealing with a lot of anxiety at the time. Drinking to escape emotions is a recipe for disaster. This was during the time of all my controversies. I was dealing with a lot of stress, probably the most I’ve ever been through.” “During all of it, I had trained my brain to think, ‘Something bad is coming,’” he continued. “It seemed inevitable. I’m at this space where, everything is fine right now, but everything can go to s**t really fast, and I had seen that happen.” The influencer then explained that he’d finally quit drinking after growing tired of the constant anxiety and stress he experienced, but later shifted his addiction to nicotine patches. He eventually quit the patches, but it took two tries before he could leave them behind for good. “I was drinking because I was stressed out, and it wasn’t until I dealt with those emotions that I was able to not rely on these things anymore,” he said. PewDiePie concluded his discussion by saying he was hopeful that, by opening up about his own struggles, viewers might be able to examine their own addictions and receive help. The influencer has received an outpouring of support in his comments, with fans congratulating him on his transparency and sharing their own life experiences with others.

  • PewDiePie opens up about his past drinking habits in emotional podcast – Dexerto

    PewDiePie opens up about his past drinking habits in emotional podcast YouTube: Anything4views / PixabayYouTube superstar Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg recently opened about “self control” and his past problems with alcohol in a brutally honest podcast on July 10. PewDiePie may be best known for his meme reviews and comedy, but he’s also used his channel in the past to talk about serious issues with his audience. In 2017, he released two videos on mental health and ‘forced positivity’ within the YouTube community. In the videos, he addressed how unhappy YouTubers can be, and why it’s okay to talk about depression. Now he’s opened up about his own personal history with alcohol. PewDiePie opened up about past alcohol issues The Swedish YouTuber recently appeared on the ‘Cold Ones’ podcast, which is hosted by ‘Anything4views’. During the almost two hour long conversation, the humorous tone suddenly turned serious when PewDiePie opened up about about his past drinking habits. “I read this book on Buddhism, and it talked about self-control, and being in control of your body. And not always just doing what your craving wants you to do. I never thought about self control before, and how that changes your mentality.” he said. (Timestamp 00:00:17 for mobile viewers.) He then talked about a drinking habit he didn’t realize had formed. “I used to have this habit of drinking whiskey, and I realized how hard it was just to stop that habit. I was like oh shit, it was actually kind of scary.” The YouTube superstar dove into the reasons why he started drinking, and said: “I started drinking whiskey because I was always working constantly. I never felt like I had a period where I could chill or relax at the end of the day.” He even retold a story where he was on a call with Disney at the time, and drank to relieve the stress. This isn’t the first time he’s mentioned it During the height of the PewDiePie vs T-Series showdown, the YouTuber released the sarcastic ‘Congratulations’ video when T-Series passed him in subs. Surprisingly, the song contained the lyrics “Just there to pop bottles with my nine-year-old army, non-alcoholic cause I had a real problem” which referenced his past problems with alcohol. PewDiePie’s honest conversation about alcohol shines a light on how stressful some jobs can actually be. And how easy it is for a habit to form without even knowing it. We hope that the conversation makes more people realize that anyone can form a habit, and it’s okay to talk about it and get help.

  • PewDiePie opens up about being robbed after home break-in – Dexerto

    PewDiePie opens up about being robbed after home break-in YouTube: PewDiePie / PixabayYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg had his house in Japan broken into back in November 2019. Now the Swedish star has opened up about how the experience impacted him. In 2019, PewDiePie and his wife Marzia Kjellberg bought a second house in Japan. However while away from the property in November, thieves broke into their home and stole expensive items. Now the YouTuber is opening up about the incident, and in his February 29 upload, he explained his thoughts on the break-in. The Swedish star took a deep dive into how it impacted him mentally. PewDiePie opens about his house being broken into While the YouTuber has briefly touched on his house being broken into in the past, his latest video was the first time he addressed it head on. “A few months ago, our house was broken into. No one was home at the time when it happened, but it was surprising to find out,” he began. The entertainer said that while most people were supportive after the robbery, some celebrated the incident. “A few people on the internet took the news as a chance to celebrate. Rationalizing it since I have wealth, it’s just a minor inconvenience,” he continued. However, the Swede revealed that nothing of his was actually stolen, just his wife’s. “Another irony is that nothing was stolen from the break-in. At least personally. Even my two most valuable items, my camera and computer, were left. Whatever they took was from my wife unfortunately.” Pewds said that he had recently sold or donated many of his items that lack personal value, or have any “utility” to them. He then explained how reading Greek philosopher Diogenes helped him shift away from caring about material things. “Diogenes and Socrates’ minds were very different. But neither of them wrote down their own ideas, they lived them instead. I don’t think you’ll see me living in a barrel anytime soon. Although I find it funny how I lost more items reading about [Diogenes] then actually getting robbed did,” he said. The popular YouTuber has been a fan of philosophy, and has created multiple videos on his channel about the subject in the past. In December 2019, he cited Aristotle to explain why he hated Twitter before he exclaimed “F**k Twitter!” and deleted his account. Despite the break-in being stressful and a violation of his privacy, the Swedish entertainer’s love of philosophy has seemed to have helped him get through it. PewDiePie has continued to crush it on YouTube in 2020, drawing in millions of views a video since returning from his month off from creating content in January.

  • How does PewDiePie make money? Breaking down the popular YouTuber’s net worth – Dexerto

    How does PewDiePie make money? Breaking down the popular YouTuber’s net worth YouTube: PewDiePieOnce the creator with the most subscribers on YouTube, Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg is internet royalty. With that sheer scale of audience comes a lot of monetization possibilities, and PewDiePie is well aware of that. The Swedish YouTuber is sitting at 109 million subscribers on YouTube at the time of publication, and it wasn’t too long ago he was sitting atop the rest of the entire competition. Racking up millions of views with ease, ad rates alone helped him to amass a serious amount of wealth. He may now own the fourth-most-subscribed channel, no longer occupying the throne, but over his years of creating content he’s been setting up new revenue streams to either bolster his income or secure himself outside of the platform. Let’s take a look at PewDiePie’s net worth, as well as the exact revenue streams he’s devised — from clothing brands to creating his own games. What is PewDiePie’s net worth? PewDiePie’s net worth is widely speculated and estimated based on industry averages and reported figures from established publications. It’s reported that he made $15.5m in 2018 and $13m in 2019. A study claims that he makes almost $8m — $6.8m from merchandise and $1.1m in advertisement — per month. The most common result you’ll find for his estimated net worth is $40m, though some claim as high as $70m. How PewDiePie makes money Content and brand deals Let’s get the obvious one out of the way: advertisements in his video content. On YouTube, the average CPM — the amount of money paid per 1,000 views — is $2. This varies based on several factors, and Google keeps 45% of the revenue generated, so it can be hard to sustain yourself from this alone. Regardless, PewDiePie is a big draw for viewers and will easily earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per month this way. Read More: Top 20 most subscribed YouTube channels – In addition to advertising revenue, he offers memberships to his channel that offer varying perks. £1.99, £4.99, and £6.99 tiers are all available as monthly fees, and in return members can receive exclusive access to loyalty badges, custom emojis, a community Discord, and live streams. Each month he gifts revenue from his streams to a variety of charity organizations, an example is a $133,169 donation to the Blue Cross Foundation for money generated in January 2021. The third and final source of income PewDiePie generates directly from YouTube is an exclusive deal he signed with the Google-owned platform in May 2020. He previously held an exclusive deal with blockchain-fueled streaming site DLive. Financial details of the exclusive signing were not disclosed, but he can’t have been a cheap creator to lock down. Another of his revenue streams is a standard one among content creators, and that’s brand deals. Sponsorships with the likes of Arkade, Mountain Dew, and Legendary Pictures pay him to advertise products (and even movies in some cases). Affiliate campaigns are common among brand deals and he has his fair share of links in his YouTube video descriptions that he earns a commission on. He has affiliate links for his chair, keyboard, mouse, and NordVPN. PewDiePie also has his own G FUEL flavor and collection of shakers, energy drinks, and powder tubs — he even earns a commission from this business partnership, too. Apparel brands PewDiePie has gone deep into the world of apparel, opting to go beyond the typical move on having a self-branded line of merchandise with a third-party platform. Don’t get us wrong, he does have his own merch line with Represent — he just has more in place. Read More: How does Pokimane make money? – He owns a unisex line with his wife Marzia Kjellberg called Tsuki, a brand that “creates thoughtfully designed and ethically made products.” There are several lines under Tsuki, including a basic collection and one inspired by space programs. In November 2020, PewDiePie also launched a brand that manufacturers and sells “high level, wearable offline gaming equipment.” Based currently offers caps, pullovers, trousers, hoodies, and t-shirts. Other business ventures As well as working alongside G FUEL, PewDiePie has several partnerships in place. He has his own collectible figure which is a self-proclaimed “monumental piece of history” in collaboration with Vidglo, a collection of phone cases designed alongside RhinoShield, and a collaborative merch collection with adventure sandbox game Terraria. Read More: How does KSI make money? – In 2015, PewDiePie released his debut book. Described as a “book full of useless quotes” by one reader on Amazon, ‘This Book Love You’ is a parody of self-help books that he released with Penguin in October 2015. It became a New York Times Bestseller, and reportedly sold over 112,000 copies as of January 2017. The YouTuber turned into a games designer per se in 2015 when he released his first video game with Canadian developers Outerminds. PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist was released on iOS and Android, and is currently priced at £4.99 on Apple’s app store. Read More: How does Logan Paul make money? – Since then, he has released three more games — PewDiePie’s Tuber Simulator, PewDiePie’s Pixelings, and Poopdie — and even consulted with Goat Simulator developer Armin Ibrisagic on his game Animal Super Squad. All three of the aforementioned games under his ownership offer in-app purchases, following the trend of game developers making hefty amounts on free titles through micro-transactions. As has become evident, PewDiePie has been business-minded throughout his lengthy career in an attempt to create multiple revenue streams that operate independently from the turbulent world of content creation. We’ll be sure to keep this article updated as and when he expands into new areas of business.

  • PewDiePie on the KSI and Logan Paul Boxing Match “Everyone Loses in this Fight” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie on the KSI and Logan Paul Boxing Match “Everyone Loses in this Fight” The internet is preparing itself for the YouTuber mega fight between KSI and Logan Paul, however, there’s one man less than impressed. As the owner of the world’s most subscribed channel on the Google owned video sharing website, PewDiePie has gained a reputation of calling people out. As the biggest name on the internet, why not? For the last two years PewDiePie has focused on reaction-based content as he looks through the best of what the internet has to offer. His video uploaded on Thursday, June 21st focused on the press conference of the upcoming KSI/Deji vs Logan/Jake Paul boxing match. Following his boxing match debut win over Joe Weller in London in February, KSI called out both Jake and Logan Paul for the next bout. After plenty of debate about whether it would happen, it was confirmed that August 25th would see Logan and KSI duke it out, with Jake and Defi on the undercard. Taking place at Manchester Arena, it’s expected the tickets will sell out, and millions from across the world will tune in via YouTube. PewDiePie isn’t impressed and expressed his thoughts on the situation after reacting to the press conference in LA. The Swede compiled the best cringe moments from the press conference, before giving a damning statement about how everybody is going to lose. “The thing is, you want to see one of them getting beaten up, getting punched up, right? But the thing is everyone loses in this fight. One person will get punched, but the other person’s ego will get so massively boosted that it immediately cancels itself out, and it’s just not worth it. So in the fight KSI vs Logan Paul, we all lose.” You can watch the full reaction video below.

  • PewDiePie mysteriously banned on Twitch again during “infinity stream” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mysteriously banned on Twitch again during “infinity stream” YouTube: PewDiePieInternet star Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has been banned on Twitch yet again while his channel was streaming past recordings. Back in May 2023, PewDiePie’s Twitch channel was revived after his team began broadcasting older, not-live recordings of his. He was swiftly banned from the platform, leaving many to believe his channel was hacked at first, but Felix has since debunked those rumors. On July 17, 2023, PewDiePie’s Twitch channel was hit with yet another ban from the site for no apparent reason. PewDiePie banned from Twitch a second time It’s unknown why Kjellberg’s channel was removed from the Amazon-owned platform a second time since its revival, so we’ll have to wait until the internet star shares more information. In the meantime, his channel displays one of Twitch’s infamous messages. “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service,” it reads. Getting a response from PewDiePie anytime soon is quite unlikely, we assume, as he announced a YouTube hiatus on June 29, 2023, because the due date of his baby boy was coming soon. His wife, Marzia, gave birth to a healthy baby boy on July 12, 2023, and the iconic couple revealed the news on Instagram. “11/07/2023. Welcome to the family, little Björn,” they said. If PewDiePie decides to make a quick return to the internet to explain the situation, we’ll be sure to update you. Otherwise, you can head over to our entertainment section for more news and other viral stories.

  • PewDiePie mounts stunning comeback to overtake T-Series in YouTube sub battle – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mounts stunning comeback to overtake T-Series in YouTube sub battle Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg might have thought that it was all over when T-Series pulled away by a massive margin in the great YouTube subscriber battle, but somehow the Swede has bounced back in extraordinary fashion. PewDiePie admitted defeat to the Indian production company on March 30 after seeing that T-Series were sailing into the distance with a lead of over 100,000 subscribers in the race to 100 million subs. However, after members of his passionate fanbase encouraged people to get behind the YouTuber ahead of what’s been dubbed ‘International PewDiePie day’ on April 29, clearly their efforts are paying off time and time again. How strong is PewDiePie’s lead over T-Series? In what might be the most impressive turnaround of the battle yet, the Swedish content creator has managed to recover the humongous deficit and sits around 12,000 subs ahead of T-Series – according to live subscriber counts, at the time of writing. T-Series have previously overtaken PewDiePie by 10,000 and later 30,000 subscribers in the past, but 100,000 was by far their strongest margin yet. Not many believed that it could, or would, be possible for another bounce back. Yet, Pewds’ fanbase just keeps getting stronger and stronger. PewDiePie vs T-Series: Who will reach 100 million subs first? Based on the statistics seen so far, it’s very difficult to say whether or not PewDiePie will rise to 100 million subscribers first, but he does seem to have the edge where major milestones are concerned. Read More: Top 20 most subscribed YouTube channels – If T-Series can slip up with a lead of 100,000 subscribers, who knows where the battle will end. One thing is for sure, though, things seem to be going right to the wire in the great YouTube battle and there doesn’t seem any evidence to suggest it will slow down any time soon.

  • PewDiePie, MrBeast, Shane Dawson top YouTube Rewind 2019 records – Dexerto

    PewDiePie, MrBeast, Shane Dawson top YouTube Rewind 2019 records YouTube Rewind 2019 is finally here – and the platform has made a major change to their year-end wrap-up video in wake of outrage from last year’s Rewind. Rather than featuring an original skit featuring some of YouTube’s more “family-friendly” faces, this time, YouTube published a lineup of the year’s most popular creators and videos. The platform even addressed the backlash from their previous Rewind, including reactions from such YouTubers as Casey Neistat, RiceGum, and H3H3’s Ethan Klein before delving into 2019’s most-liked content. Most Liked Creator Videos Unsurprisingly, longtime YouTube star Shane Dawson came in at tenth place with his viral “Conspiracy Theories” video, which took the online world by storm thanks to its investigation of Chuck E. Cheese’s pizzas (who even responded to the mass suspicion incited by the documentary). Beauty Guru James Charles landed in seventh place due to his “No More Lies” upload, which addressed drama with his mentor Tati Westbrook after she accused him of using his fame to manipulate fans. YouTube king “PewDiePie” likewise made the list in second place, with the documentary of his wedding to wife Marzia gaining over 4.7 million likes. Perhaps the most impressive placement comes from “MrBeast,” whose video “Make This The Most Liked Video on YouTube” actually succeeded in its quest (this year, at least), reaching over 10.9 million likes (and even becoming the most liked non-music video on the site, to boot). Most Viewed Video Games YouTube is one of the biggest platforms for video game content, and as such, showed off its most viewed video games this year, with Roblox coming in at fifth place, Garena Free Fire at fourth, and Grand Theft Auto in third with 36.9 billion views overall. Fortnite, the free to play battle royale game that took the world by storm in 2017 is still killing it two years later, topping YouTube’s list at second place with 60.9 billion views. The king of video games this year, however, is Minecraft, raking in 100.2 billion views in wake of PewDiePie’s notable foray into the game as a self-described “Minecraft YouTuber.” Most Liked Beauty Videos Considering the massive wave of success and media attention that followed his beef with Tati Westbrook, it comes as little surprise that makeup mogul James Charles came in first place with 1.6 million views for his Spanish makeup tutorial. Of course, YouTube and beauty go hand in hand with names like Jeffree Star – and Shane Dawson, for that matter, who secured second place thanks to his viral “The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star” documentary with 1.4 million views. Star himself came in at fourth place, thanks to his no tea, no shade review of Kylie Jenner’s skincare line. Most Viewed Creators While names like “Azzyland” and “Lazarbeam” made YouTube’s top ten most viewed content creators, MrBeast found himself in the mix, once more, standing in 7th place with a whopping 2.2 billion views thanks to his generous cash giveaways and insane challenges. Dude Perfect likewise made the cut, cashing out at 2.3 billion views thanks to their impressive stunt work, with vlogger David Dobrik finishing at fifth place with 2.4 billion views (in spite of his reportedly miserable adsense revenue). YouTube gamer “Jelly,” artist “Pencilmation,” and personality “Felipe Neto” scored fourth, third, and second place, while PewDiePie continues to reign as the site’s undisputed ruler with 4 billion views (and 102 million subscribers). Other Categories Also mentioned in YouTube’s list were its Most Liked Music Videos, Most Liked Dance Videos, and Break Out Creators, which included such names as Pakistani YouTuber Shoaib Akhtar, traveling vlogger Jennelle Eliana, and even Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp. YouTube also shone a spotlight on its other international and breakout talent, such as Kaykai Salaider for being the first Thai creator to hit over ten million subscribers, “Badabun” for being the site’s largest Spanish-speaking channel, and Aya Nakamura for being the most watched female artist in France, among many others. Reactions to Rewind 2019 In spite of trying to right their previous wrongs, though, it doesn’t look like YouTube Rewind 2019 is being met with praise, with their video boasting 110k dislikes to 87k likes at the time of writing. Many commenters are accusing the platform of “not trying” with their latest video and reusing other creators’ content, as well as refusing to include other major moments from 2019 like PewDiePie reaching 100 million subscribers (which they gave to T-Series, for being the first to do so) and the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch. Thus far, it doesn’t look like YouTube is off the hook, just yet – but having just been released, there’s still breathing room for the internet to change its mind.

  • PewDiePie mocks YouTubers trying to hop on Coronavirus trend – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mocks YouTubers trying to hop on Coronavirus trend YouTube: PewDiePieFelix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has called out a number of fellow YouTubers who have been offering up advice during the Coronavirus outbreak despite admitting that they are not “experts.” With the Coronavirus sweeping across the globe, forcing cancellations to public events, shutting down sports leagues, and leading to countries going on mandatory lockdowns, the internet is still doing its best to entertain – be it through content like YouTube and Twitch or having esports in the place of other sports. However, as the situation with the outbreak has continued to worsen, many people have been chiming in with advice – be it off their own back or through what they’ve seen in the media. This includes YouTubers, who despite admitting they aren’t fully knowledgeable about what is happening, still want to create content. Instead, they’ve found themselves on the receiving end of a roast from PewDiePie, who has turned their own videos about the pandemic against them. Posting on his YouTube story via the mobile app, the Swede said: “I really like all the Corona videos that YouTubers are making now for whatever reason. They all start them off with ‘I am not expert guys.’ Like, really? You don’t f**king say you’re not a Coronavirus expert!” Pewds himself has made satirical videos about the current pandemic, though he isn’t in the business of using the “I’m not an expert” line. Instead, he chose to poke fun at people who had gone a bit too far in panic-buying, jokingly saying that those who hadn’t “stocked up with at least 500 toilet paper rolls” were in trouble. In another story post, the YouTube star revealed that he is spending time during the outbreak by going on an anime “binge,” with a photo of himself watching Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure attached. Of course, as more and more people seek advice in the time of crisis, there might be more YouTubers who try and give their two cents worth. Though, they may not want to bother, because they could always find themselves ending up on an episode of Meme Review in the future.

  • PewDiePie mortified after fans dig up embarrassing story from years ago – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mortified after fans dig up embarrassing story from years ago YouTube: PewDiePiePopular YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg was jokingly trolled by fans after they made memes about an embarrassing story he revealed in an interview from years ago. [jwplayer mgzBNoPb] PewDiePie may be known today as the most popular YouTuber in the world with over 107 million subscribers to his channel. However, in 2010, he was virtually unknown as he was learning to make content while in Sweden. During his latest upload, a story from Kjellberg’s past came back to haunt him. The star reacted to fans creating memes about an embarrassing shower incident that he revealed in a video he posted a couple years back. PewDiePie fans dig up hilarious story from his past During the November 23 episode of Last Week I Asked You, the Swede reacted to fans making memes about a story he had revealed in 2017. “If you are confused by this, don’t ask. Because I’m not saying it again,” the 31-year-old laughed. When more viewers continued to make jokes about the embarrassing incident, the star exclaimed, “Why did I share this story?! Stop it! I had no choice. I do not control my anus!” For those baffled by what he is talking about, fans are referencing a story the YouTuber explained in a previous upload from three years ago. When Kjellberg was younger, he got violently sick, and had to go to the bathroom in a shower at a harbor in Sweden. (Topic starts at 09:51) The embarrassing incident was revealed by the content creator in an in-depth interview he did with his friend in 2017. In the one-hour video, Pewds went over his entire life story and included his triumphs and failures – including the infamous shower story. “I had eaten something weird that night. I felt it a few hours later [after eating] at the party. And I’m like I need to s**t right now, or else I’m going to s**t myself in front of everybody. So I ran. It was that state of emergency!” he said. Unfortunately when he reached the public bathroom, there was a massive line of people out the door. “So I told them, “Guys, this is an emergency I need to go!” … But no one would listen to me. So I ran in [to the restroom] anyways and I found a toilet. But it was a shower. So I took a s**t in the shower.” (Topic starts at 14:21) Hilariously, the entertainer when on to explain that he eventually got a job at the same harbor, and the bathroom incident had became a legend with employees. “I got a job at that very harbor, and they would always tell the story about the man that took a s**t in the shower,” he laughed. Despite the story being known for a few years now, fans of the content creator have recently been digging it up to make memes. If nothing else, the hilarious tale is a good example of “if you have to go, you have to go.” Kjellberg’s fans, of course, are only teasing him out of love.

  • PewDiePie mocks “Twitch girls” and Belle Delphine in hilarious horror game roast – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mocks “Twitch girls” and Belle Delphine in hilarious horror game roast YouTube: PewDiePieYouTube star Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has mocked female Twitch streamers, again, in a bizarre and clever way, as he played new horror game ‘Man of Medan’. There has been some controversy surrounding certain female Twitch streamers, with many arguing that they receive preferential treatment from the streaming platform, and are able to avoid bans in a way their male counterparts cannot. PewDiePie is not known for holding back with his opinions and, in an August 31 YouTube video, he hilariously hit out at stereotypical ‘Twitch girls’ while playing Man of Medan. The new horror game developed by Supermassive Games – the team behind 2015’s Until Dawn – has been a hit on YouTube with many content creators. However, no content creator has managed to turn the game into a commentary on Twitch streamers, until now. PewDiePie’s third part of Man of Medan was uploaded on August 31 and titled ‘Twitch Girls be like…’. However, fans have to wait until the very end of the video to understand the title. Pewds is ambushed by a monster in the game who is screaming aggressively, which prompts Kjellberg mock female Twitch creators. “Thing is ugly… go back to Twitch!” he joked. “No I don’t wanna donate to your patreon! Stop! Take your bath water and go away! Yeah, that’s right.” (Timestamp: 45:14) PewDiePie is referencing the minority of female Twitch streamers who have caused controversy. He has clashed with streamers such as Alinity before, joining calls for her to be banned for one of the many issues she has found herself embroiled in. Belle Delphine is a social media star who made headlines earlier this year by trying to sell her used bath water to her followers. PewDiePie’s scathing comparison shouldn’t be taken too seriously, and merely fits in with the Swede’s cutting sense of humor. As explained at the start of his video, the 29-year-old is currently on his honeymoon with wife Marzia, after they announced their marriage on August 20. YouTube’s King seems to be enjoying Man of Medan, and having a bit of fun at the expense of ‘Twitch girls’.

  • PewDiePie mocks YouTube apology videos with troll livestream – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mocks YouTube apology videos with troll livestream YouTube: PewDiePie[jwplayer IX7jLp7f]During his July 11 broadcast, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg trolled his audience by mocking YouTube apology videos. He jokingly “cried” to show viewers how easy it is to “fake” it. For many, PewDiePie has been the face of online entertainment over the last decade. The Swedish creator has masterfully navigated his way through trends over the years to become YouTube’s top subscribed individual content creator on the platform. During his latest broadcast, the star jokingly showed his viewers how to make an “apology” video. The star’s joke follows content creators like Tati Westbrook breaking down on camera to apologize for past mistakes they have made. PewDiePie mocks YouTube apology videos During Pewds’ latest YouTube broadcast titled “Apology Livestream,” the 30-year-old told his audience that he needed to get something off his chest. The star then began to play sad music and joked “I want to apologize. I want to be as honest with you guys as possible,” before putting eye drops into his eyes to mimic tears. While it’s unclear if he was referencing Tati Westbrook’s video in his joke, he said several things that were very similar to her video. “I care about you guys so much, and I miss you!” he yelled, before zooming the camera on his face and showing the eye drops running down his cheeks. “I’m so sorry!” The personality proceeded to add more eye drops, and then joked, “I will work on bettering myself. I try my best, but I’m just human.” He then broke into laughter during his speech and said, “It legit looks convincing. It’s that easy to fake an apology, guys!” Continuing to mock typical online apology videos, he exclaimed, “These are real authentic feelings that I have, I didn’t mean to kill all those people in Minecraft. It wasn’t my fault! No, I said I was going to be strong.” The YouTuber then zoomed the camera even closer to his face to show off his “tears.” Despite not saying Westbrook’s name, several of his lines echoed the makeup personality’s viral video from June. In a previous stream, Pewds gave a critical take on her apology, and said, “That was not an apology, that was just shifting all the blame. It’s f**king bulls**t. I can’t imagine uploading a video saying words that comes from my mouth, and then blame it on someone else. Even if I heard someone else tell me. It’s complete bulls**t.” While PewDiePie has heavily focused on gaming content in the last year, the YouTuber has used his live broadcasts in 2020 to also react to current events. On July 8, he brought back a live version of his show PewNews. Read More: 100 Thieves signs viral TikTok star Neekolul – The creator announced in March that he had signed a major deal with YouTube to stream exclusively on their platform. So far it’s seemed to pay off, as the star consistently pulls in over 100k viewers each time he goes live.

  • PewDiePie mocks “simps” who donate to Twitch “egirls” Pokimane & BadBunny – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mocks “simps” who donate to Twitch “egirls” Pokimane & BadBunny YouTube: PewDiePie / Instagram: pokimanelolDuring his March 9 upload, YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg roasted “simp” Twitch viewers who donate to streamers like Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys & BadBunny. PewDiePie continues to dominate on YouTube, with millions of viewers flooding his channel thanks to his meme-based humor that has captivated his audience. Unsurprisingly, he remains the largest content creator on YouTube in 2020 based on subscribers, with nobody coming close to eclipsing his standing at the top of the mountain. As always, the Swede has his finger on the pulse of memes, and the 30-year-old brought his signature wit and sarcasm on Monday, March 9 when he shared his light-hearted take on the term “simp,” a phrase used to roast Twitch viewers who donate large amounts of money or are thought to be too nice to female streamers and content creators. PewDiePie mocks “simps” who donate to female streamers In typical PewDiePie fashion, he kicked off his video by joking that simps were “the lowest of the low,” pretending that he couldn’t even fathom the idea, and found the whole thing to be disgusting. Next up, the Swede sarcastically hit out at men who donate to Twitch streamers, pretending that they were the reason behind the outrage that fuels the term simp, before taking a look at some content creators who have hit back at their viewers for not donating like BadBunny. “Remember a few months ago, there was this girl complaining about not getting a $5 donation,” he told his viewers during his satirical rant. “She knows what she’s doing. She’s antagonizing the simps!” The YouTuber then turned his wit towards the men that were quick to defend her, joking that the “simps then come to the rescue,” before breaking into fits of laughter after reading a tweet about Amouranth’s sleeping stream, which had 1700 viewers watching her catch 40 winks. The Swedish personality also reacted to a clip that saw Twitch star Pokimane dancing, oblivious that someone named Russell had just donated $500 to her. “Russell! Why would you do that?” he giggled. “Why would you sink that low? Never do that again!” Of course, just as PewDiePie claimed he was tired of pretending that simping wasn’t ok, an image appeared labeling him to be the very thing he was talking about, with the YouTuber acting like he was unbelievably offended, before saying: “Imagine simping for a girl with dyed hair,” clearly poking fun at himself and wife Marzia, who regularly does just that. (Timestamp 01:18 for mobile users.) Regular viewers of PewDiePie will know that the entire video was all in jest and that they should never take anything he says too seriously, with the YouTuber loving to poke fun and make jokes in all of his videos. The Swede loves this type of content so much that he even created Meme Review, a show where he can look at all of the latest viral posts blowing up on social media, and add his own hilarious commentary PewDiePie continues to crush it with his uploads, pulling in millions of views since his return from his month-long break in January, with his “9-year-old army” delighted to see him regularly uploading content again.

  • PewDiePie Mocks Tana Mongeau Following the Cancellation of TanaCon but Understands Why She Attempted It – Dexerto

    PewDiePie Mocks Tana Mongeau Following the Cancellation of TanaCon but Understands Why She Attempted It PewDiePie released a new video slamming creator conventions and how our society reacts to internet celebrities, while mocking the most recent Con failure, TanaCon. YouTuber Tana Mongeau, known for her controversial videos that occasionally include racial slurs, threw TanaCon after being repeatedly slighted by another creator convention – VidCon. Unfortunately for Tana, TanaCon was a disaster and PewDiePie was ready to meme it. PewDiePie showed angry Twitter posts from attendees of TanaCon, which included fans chanting “refund” and complaining about the lack of food, water and security at the venue. A number of celebrity creators who were promoted as participating in TanaCon were unable to attend, due to a lack of planning from Tana and scheduling issues with the concurrent VidCon. TanaCon was plagued with long lines and ended up being very different from what was promised. At one point, PewDiePie mockingly reveals the only positive to come from TanaCon – a TanaCondom that was included in every guest bag. Despite the relentless shots at TanaCon and its creator Tana Mongeau, PewDiePie understands why she threw the event in the first place. He makes a hard pivot around the 9 minute mark of the video, sympathizing with why Tana felt the need to throw her own version of VidCon. “[VidCon] is not what YouTube is, it’s what they want it to be… they pick who they want to have as featured creators and probably don’t want controversial creators like Tana Mongeau to attend their event. Which leads to her coming to the event, and then fans swarm around her, which leads to safety issues and she gets kicked out. And apparently, this happened year after year.” More: Red Reserve CoD Player Skrapz Is Hilariously Forced to Ride in a Car With a Random Family and a Kid Who Bites His Bag – PewDiePie explains how the lack of convention planning experience doomed TanaCon, but he hopes Tana takes what she learned and tries again next year. He then switched his sights to VidCon and how celebrities are treated at creator conventions, by showing a clip of Casey Neistat waving to screaming fans. “This is the reason why I don’t want to go to VidCon, people screaming at you is just obnoxious. There is no reason, no reason, why anyone should treat me more than anyone else. I don’t want it, I find it annoying… I hate this whole concept of fame and worship. Why? Why is that a thing?” “This whole idea of worship is being promoted through these VidCon events where people just run around like f***in Neanderthals… It’s so stupid.” You can check out the full video below.

  • PewDiePie mocks panic-buying craze amid Coronavirus pandemic – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mocks panic-buying craze amid Coronavirus pandemic YouTube: PewDiePieYouTube King Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has mocked people panic-buying and stockpiling over Coronavirus, in a trademark meme review video with a slight twist. PewDiePie’s audience will be more than familiar with his affinity for memes, with the Swede regularly asking fans to submit their best for him to review. While his hair and Minecraft series were also targeted, the 30-year-old’s March 14 YouTube video had a strong focus on the ongoing coronavirus situation. Officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, the emergent respiratory disease continues to worsen in much of the western world. The video, satirically titled “It’s Panic Time”, sees PewDiePie mock many people’s responses to the ongoing health situation. Many people have been ‘panic buying’ in response to potential lockdowns – seeing them buy far more groceries, and essentials like toilet paper, than they normally would, to ensure they are well supplied in the coming weeks. In response to a meme video about a “random chimp event”, PewDiePie mocked people panicking and hoarding groceries: “Guys, you need to stock up. Immediately. Stock up on all the food. This is it. It’s over big time. If the random chimp event has begun there’s not even a point in preparing.” “Cannibalism is gonna have to come back,” he joked. “There’s no hope for humanity. If you haven’t stocked up with at least 500 toilet paper rolls, don’t even think you’re gonna survive the random chimp event.” While he was talking about a ‘random chimp event’, it’s hard not to think his jokes relate to the ongoing coronavirus panic. He then takes the hyperbole even further, finishing: “If you don’t have at least 20 different assault rifles ready to defend yourself, you’re done, you’re gone.” Other coronavirus memes the Swede was sent used Shrek and singer Rick Astley to poke fun at the ongoing pandemic. It’s a nice change from the news coverage surrounding the situation, which many have criticized as failing to contextualize the disease sufficiently. However, to echo Pewds’ message – buy your normal amount of groceries, and wash your hands.

    PewDiePie mocks Shane Dawson over cat scandal PewDiePie, Shane Dawson – YouTubePopular YouTuber Shane Dawson underwent mass scrutiny after a story from his older podcast circulated around the internet – and now, PewDiePie is weighing in on the issue. YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg discussed Shane’s ‘catastrophe’ during an episode of ‘Meme Review’ on March 21, where he poked fun at his viral apology Tweet. “This is why, if you need help writing your apologies, just let your boy know,” Felix said of the issue, jokingly referencing his own past controversies. “I mean, this apology is 10/10, I don’t know what to say.” [Timestamp: 4:25 for mobile viewers] While Kjellberg got a good laugh out of the apology, he went on to express some sympathy for Dawson, claiming that the YouTuber’s past humor was incredibly edgy – and even speculated that it was a means for him to vent his sexual frustrations, as he hadn’t come out as bisexual at the time. “While a lot of people might be shocked by this, it’s obviously just Shane making a joke,” he continued. “But the fact that he says it in such a serious tone, I understand why some people think it’s real.” I found the audio!! Shane Dawson came on his cat! WTF!!!!! This was on his podcast pic.twitter.com/6slFQRxIeE — Sandwich Ruler (@magician_dragon) March 17, 2019 A 2014 episode from Dawson’s ‘Shane and Friends’ podcast made the rounds on social media after fans discovered a clip where Shane appeared to detail a sexual experience with his cat. According to Dawson’s story, he’d “spread” the cat’s legs and “humped” her stomach, stating that he “kept humping and humping” until he “came all over the cat.” i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats. I promised myself i wasnt going to make apology videos after last years thing so im just trying to be as short and honest with this as possible. (1/?) — Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) March 18, 2019 Dawson later explained that the story was completely fabricated in a series of vehement Tweets, noting that the edgy joke was based on a “dumb awful sketch idea.” Dawson has since become engaged to longtime boyfriend Ryland Adams, as posted to Twitter on March 19.

  • PewDiePie mocks outrage surrounding Overwatch Contenders’ ‘Ellie’ scandal – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mocks outrage surrounding Overwatch Contenders’ ‘Ellie’ scandal PewDiePie, YouTube / BlizzardYouTube’s biggest creator, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, spoke out on Overwatch Contenders’ ‘Ellie’ scandal, appearing to take issue with mass outrage surrounding the situation. PewDiePie addressed the debacle in a ‘Pew News’ segment on January 10, where he claimed that concerned players merely wanted proof of ‘Ellie’s’ identity, noting that Second Wind’s Contender roster listed the full name of each of their players – with the exception of Ellie, whose name was merely written as “Fuck Off.” “I think it’s a pretty normal reaction in the pro player scene, there’s only a certain amount of people,” Pewds said of the issue. “If someone appears out of nowhere… it’s only natural that people are going to ask, ‘Who is this person?’” PewDiePie went on to speculate that pro player ‘Punisher,’ who had impersonated ‘Ellie’ for an alleged “social experiment,” was making a statement to showcase a kind of ‘affirmative action’ within the game’s esports scene. “Maybe the fact that this guy, Punisher, can’t join a pro team, but as soon as he pretends to be a girl, literally four days and voila! He’s part of a pro team!” PewDiePie laughed. PewDiePie likewise mocked the media’s coverage of the scandal, arguing that harassment against ‘Ellie’ was justified due to the lack of personal information available about the persona. “…the same thing would have happened if it were a guy,” he stated. The third woman, another OW player, says Punisher asked her to talk for him while he was playing. She said he would count down 3-2-1 as the cue. It’s believed Punisher has many women to talk for him and possibly someone close to help, but the online presence of ‘Ellie’ is fake. — Rod Breslau (@Slasher) January 6, 2019 A rising-star account under the name ‘Ellie’ competing for Overwatch Contenders team Second Wind was discovered to be fraudulent, as stated by an Overwatch League representative on January 6. Since then, the ‘Ellie’ account was revealed to be operated by pro player ‘Punisher,’ who reportedly asked “many women” to speak over the mic while he played in order to keep up the facade.

    PewDiePie mocks Neekolul’s “hideous” $2 million home Instagram: pewdiepie/neekolulIn a YouTube video titled “Reviewing YouTuber House Tours,” PewDiePie took a look at Twitch star Neekolul’s $2 million house. The luxury apartment generated controversy on June 7, as a photo surfaced of the streamer wearing a “tax the rich” sweater. PewDiePie deemed the pad to be “hideous,” exclaiming “it all looks so tiny!” The Neeko drama began on March 2, after posting a TikTok wearing a “tax the rich” sweater from congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’ official store. Echoing the original video which plunged her into fame, the content creator was seen miming the words to “Oki Doki Boomer.” Fans were quick to call out alleged hypocrisy within the comments. “Nice $60 shirt,” one user pointed out. “Quick reminder that she doesn’t believe in tipping waitresses,” another complained. On June 1, Neeko posted a house tour on her YouTube channel. While the comments were swiftly disabled, viewers still managed to have their say on Twitter. “You can’t say eat the rich and then buy a $2 million apartment,” one Tweeted. “I’m a socialist (earns millions of dollars a year)” said another. PewDiePie reacted to the “tiny” apartment After previously ranking the houses of Bretman Rock, David Dobrik and Emma Chamberlain, PewDiePie came back for a second installment of “YouTubers’ houses.” This time, Neeko’s was first on the chopping block. After noticing the disabled likes, dislikes and comments; the YouTuber said, “I appreciate her leaving (the video) up for us to scrutinize.” Within the first three minutes of the video, it was clear that PewDiePie felt a certain way about the apartment. While stifling laughter, he claimed “it ain’t looking so fully furnished!” He began pointing out elements of the interior design, questioning “why are the chairs at different heights?” After making fake-gagging noises, he said “you paid $2 million for this?! You’ve got a laundry basket in your f**king hallway!” He also commented on the video itself, branding the editing as “so bad.” Fans supported PewDiePie’s judgement Subscribers to the star mostly agreed with his statements on the city apartment. “Few things are as frustrating as money poorly spent, especially on a home,” fellow YouTuber JoelCreates said. “Her sense of interior design sucks,” another viewer stated. Others seemed concerned about her financial choices. “My aunt has an apartment bigger than that and it cost $250k,” one user said. “That s**t can’t be two-million.” Another commenter speculated, “Neeko got scammed.” If Neeko’s house is your thing, you can check out her Twitch and YouTube channels!

  • PewDiePie mocks Marvel’s war against ‘Endgame’ spoilers – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mocks Marvel’s war against ‘Endgame’ spoilers PewDiePie, YouTube / Marvel EntertainmentThe release of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ prompted a war against potential spoilers online: but YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is hitting out at the idea of spoiler prevention for the film, altogether. Kjellberg spoke out on the issue during an episode of ‘Meme Review’ on May 1, where he jokingly mocked the Russo Brothers’ trending ‘#Don’tSpoilTheEndgame’ campaign. Rather than siding with the movement, PewDiePie argued that asking fans to keep ‘Endgame’ spoilers to themselves would ultimately result in the opposite effect – prompting fans to spread the film’s plot like wildfire. “Everyone’s so dumb,” PewDiePie said of the spoiler war. “If you want to stop someone from doing something, you can’t just go, ‘Don’t do that,’ ‘cause that inevitably is gonna be someone going, ‘Ahhh! Ant-Man dies!’” PewDiePie’s hilarious anti-spoiler plan Instead, PewDiePie offered a hilarious solution to the problem: spread blatant misinformation across the web to confuse fans as to what will actually happen in the movie. [Timestamp: 0:30 for mobile viewers] “What you need to do to counter the ‘Endgame’ spoilers is just spread a bunch of lies,” he continued. “You just need to start spamming everywhere all these random scenarios that could happen in Endgame, like Ant-Man marries Dr. Phil, or Elon Musk kills Thanos.” Of course, PewDiePie’s argument isn’t a complete joke: the Cincinnati zoo pleaded with the internet to stop making memes about their late gorilla, Harambe, in 2016, prompting the internet to fire back by creating even more jokes about the situation – thus creating a sort of timeless memorial to the incident, in the process. 600https://me.me/i/you-know-who-woulda-loved-2019-harambe-made-with-mematic-bf6c5c97f5894c0d9ea36f8a86a4be36‘Endgame’ spoilers spur mass drama ‘Endgame’ sported one of the biggest box office openings in cinema history, raking in a reported $1.2 billion globally during its April debut. Of course, the film didn’t go without drama: one Chinese movie-goer reportedly began screaming spoilers at other fans waiting outside a theater, prompting a brutal beating that made worldwide news. ‘Endgame’s’ war against spoilers likewise prompted a heated debate as to the nature of spoiling ongoing HBO drama ‘Game of Thrones,’ with many fans comparatively live-Tweeting the 82-minute long ‘The Long Night’ episode during ‘Endgame’s’ opening weekend. PewDiePie’s plan for avoiding ‘Endgame’ spoilers follows his somber message for fans to halt the popular ‘Subscribe to PewDiePie’ movement on April 28, claiming that the meme had evolved into a slogan used for “unspeakably vile” acts.

  • PewDiePie mocks Belle Delphine bathwater controversy with his own version – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mocks Belle Delphine bathwater controversy with his own version Youtube: PewDiePie / Instagram: Belle DelphineYouTube superstar Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has poked fun at banned Instagram celebrity Belle Delphine’s bathwater stunt, promoting his own bottles. Belle Delphine made waves earlier this year by selling her bathwater earlier in 2019 as part of her Instagram career, which went nuclear over the summer and drew ire from many creators across the internet. While she is now banned from the platform, her legacy lives on, with popular content creators poking fun at her viral stunt. PewDiePie is the latest content creator to have a bit of fun with it, promoting his own version at an attractive price. In a video released on September 7, the Swedish king of YouTube got his own fans riled up about his own collection of bathwater. This came after the creator received requests from fans and celebrities alike that he release his own version of the bathwater when an image of him on his honeymoon went viral. In his weekly Meme Review from users on the subreddit r/pewdiepiesubmissions, the photo popped up again and Pewds used it as an opportunity to promote his latest merch line. “That’s right everyone, this is just a promo for my new bathwater. Yes, it costs $29 – that’s a great price! Limited time bathwater!” Not only would the Swede be putting his own twist on the bathwater market, but he’s also undercutting Belle Delphine by a dollar. The video shows him holding a Minecraft water bottle, paying homage to the star’s return to Minecraft in the last couple of months. It was also a great way to plug his store, which was recently updated with new lines of merch after the Swedish phenomenon became the first individual to reach 100 million subscribers on YouTube. For mobile users, the video starts at 8:01 The King of YouTube also went into a bit of detail behind the photo of him in Bali on his honeymoon, which garnered more than a million likes on Instagram and attention from internet stars like James Charles.

It’s not out on his Represent store, and it’s unlikely it will ever be listed. However, if he does decide to release any, fans will need to be quick with their 29 dollar notes to grab what would be the hottest H2O on the market.

  • PewDiePie Mocks Logan Paul “Lies” in Casey Neistat Interview, Addresses Demi Lovato Controversy – Dexerto

    PewDiePie Mocks Logan Paul “Lies” in Casey Neistat Interview, Addresses Demi Lovato Controversy PewDiePie has called out Logan Paul for ‘lies’ in his interview with Casey Neistat, and formally responded the recent controversy over his ‘insensitive’ Demi Lovato meme. PewDiePie has been keeping track of the Logan Paul and KSI boxing match build up, reacting to the various press conferences and now Logan Paul’s controversial interview. Logan sat down with YouTuber Casey Neistat for an interview lasting over 30 minutes, discussing everything from the suicide forest scandal, his upcoming documentary and of course the boxing match. But, just like Casey himself, not many people were convinced by Logan’s claims that he is a changed person since the suicide forest incident, including PewDiePie. From his own experience, PewDiePie suggests that all of Logan’s recent activity has been public relations, attempts to clean up his image, with his documentary the main part. “Logan is talking about how this documentary is going to be his ‘redemption’ story, because people love a redemption story. People told me this, verbatim, so many times: ‘You need to do your redemption, you need to film a documentary.’ People told me this many times, that is how you make your comeback. People have told Logan the same thing, that’s why he’s doing this documentary. […] You’re not doing it because you want to, you’re doing it to save your brand. And people are smart enough to see through those things.” PewDiePie himself has been caught up in controversy this week as well however, after he posted a meme mocking Demi Lovato’s reported heroine overdose. At first he says he didn’t understand why people were upset, but realized that he was “kicking on someone” at their lowest point. “I get why people are upset, this was wrong for me to do. I don’t think it was the worst thing in the world, but it wasn’t a nice thing.” But he didn’t entirely agree with all the backlash he received, explaining that people made him out to be the “villain” and “bad role model”, all because of a meme. “You have someone [Lovato] who is a role model to a lot of kids, you make a message about how much better you are now, but then you just fall back into the same pit. Yet somehow I’m the bad role model in this situation, I’m the villain, for just posting a meme about it.” You can watch PewDiePie’s full video addressing Demi Lovato controversy and Logan Paul below.

    PewDiePie’s Minecraft lava challenge reminds us the importance of having the high ground YouTube: PewDiePie / LucasfilmIn the August 16 episode of Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg’s Minecraft series, the Swede teamed up with popular YouTube commentator Kenneth ‘CinnamonToastKen’ Morrison to tackle the ‘Floor Is Lava’ challenge. While most episodes of PewDiePie’s massively popular Minecraft series detail the Swede’s own adventures, he’s also done collaborations with other YouTube creators including CinnamonToastKen. Usually, the two make videos with the ‘Skyblock’ map, which sees players generate a floating island with which they must build upon without falling down. Now the duo has taken on the popular ‘Floor is Lava’ challenge, and it’s as epic as it sounds. The Floor is Lava challenge While the lava initially spawned slowly, the map soon was engulfed in flames as the two scrambled to build to safety. “Here is a piece of stone to stand on, while we wait for our inevitable death. We didn’t save anybody. I’m sorry,” the American YouTuber said. PewDiePie then looked down below and saw an Iron Golum and said “Stone Gollum is fine! Don’t worry. Hold down the fort, bro!” before quickly changing his tune. “Ken. I have a bad feeling about Stone Gollum” as it became engulfed in flames. “I’m sorry bro,” the Swede apologized as the creature met his fury death, setting the tone for the rest of the episode. The YouTube duo soon realized that they hadn’t picked the best spot on the map to build. “We didn’t even pick the highest spot! We gotta make it over there” the Swede said. Ken jokingly came up with the genius idea of turning the lava into “infinite cobblestone” if they only had water. “Omg yes, we just need water” the YouTube king said, pretending to spit. PewDiePie then joked that his excessive spitting would save the world from global warming. “I have the high ground!” In a hilarious moment, the two referenced the scene from ‘Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith’ which has become a popular meme online. PewDiePie ended up on a higher block looking down on his partner. “I have the high ground CinnamonToastKen!” he screamed.

The two eventually made it as far as they were willing to go before deciding that they would both jump to their death to the end the stream.

  • PewDiePie misses H3H3 podcast & deletes Instagram post amid YouTube break – Dexerto

    PewDiePie misses H3H3 podcast & deletes Instagram post amid YouTube break YouTube: PewDiePie / H3 PodcastYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg sparked intrigue when he canceled his interview on the H3 podcast and deleted his first post on Instagram since early January. Could the Swedish star be gearing up for his return? On January 15 , YouTube’s biggest creator PewDiePie bid his 103 million subscribers a temporary farewell as he embarked on his first break from creating content in over 10 years. The Swedish personality had consistently created daily uploads for close to a decade. However on February 14, fans were left reeling when he rescheduled his interview on H3H3’s podcast,and deleted his first Instagram post in months within the same week. PewDiePie’s misses H3H3 podcast appearance According to H3 podcast co-host Ethan Klein, PewDiePie was scheduled for an interview via satellite on Wednesday February 12. He first made the tease at the end of the February 5 episode with Hot Ones host Sean Evans. Read More: Streamer’s PC falls off desk and breaks – “It’s a crazy week. We got Papa John on Monday, and PewDiePie via a satellite call in on Wednesday. Yeah it’s a big week!” he exclaimed to his guests. (Timestamp 02:33:52 for mobile users.) The YouTube comedian re-confirmed the booking during his February 10 podcast with pizza giant Papa John, and announced at the end of the episode, “Guys, we will see you guys on Wednesday with PewDiePie, so we will see you then!” However, the interview with the Swede never went up. Klein then gave an update during the opening of the February 15 episode and stated, “PewDiePie was supposed to be on today’s episode, he couldn’t make it. So we have no PewDiePie. So hopefully we are enough.” As the podcast wrapped up, the YouTuber elaborated further on the canceled interview. “Felix, we had two podcasts in a row that we had to cancel. So I’m just going to start saying that PewDiePie canceled at the top of every episode as a gag. So you guys that made it this far know what gag is about. And everyone else will be confused.” While it’s not entirely clear if the whole thing is a joke, it appears the Swede was scheduled on the show but had to cancel. “I’m going to start saying “sorry to PewDiePie we had to reschedule” at the top of every episode from now on. Because it’s confusing I’ve announced it so many times. Let’s just make it a gag! ” he said, making light of the situation. (Timestamp 02:09:07 for mobile users.) PewDiePie deletes first Instagram post since January A couple of days after the apparently canceled H3 podcast appearance, Pewds broke his silence with his first post on Instagram since January 7. The photo was a selfie of the YouTube star, and the caption read “Been a while.” The photo was then deleted by the Swede, although fans following the account were quick to take screenshots. It’s unclear if the photo was uploaded by accident, or if he removed it out of fear of people assuming he was returning from his break. The YouTube king has not communicated with fans since taking his vacation as he’s not very active on social media to begin with. On December 16, he deleted his Twitter account stating that he “hates it,” so the Instagram post only fueled more speculation. Since taking his vacation, fans haven’t seen much of the Swede, apart from a social media post showing him gloriously singing karaoke with friends. If he ever does end up going on the H3 podcast, he may detail his future plans. It remains to be seen when PewDiePie will be making his triumphant return to making content. His fans clearly miss him and will be sure to be waiting with open arms whenever that happens.

Oh my god! You’re so beautiful!” In an incredibly wholesome moment, things got emotional when the YouTube star saw his faithful dog and sidekick Sven. “Sven I missed you! Give me hug. Awwww.

Oh wow, oh god!” The YouTube king then kneeled down in front of the beacon of light, and gave a tribute to his in-game pets that had died. “I take a knee for my fallen angels… This is so cool!” He then became overjoyed when he saw the giant Swedish Meatball statute he’d created for his base. “Oh my God, can I go up the meatball?!” he asked, checking out the travel passage he made.

Everyone is going to be there, to witness,” the YouTube star laughed as he gathered all of his pets to the center of his base.

Awww, look at how cute they are!” The Swede then rung a bell, and ended his video by saying “for once, a happy episode”. (Timestamp of 25:28 for mobile viewers.)

  • PewDiePie mindblown after exploring Minecraft’s new Nether update – Dexerto

    PewDiePie mindblown after exploring Minecraft’s new Nether update PewDiePie/MojangYouTube star Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg tried out the recent Minecraft Bedrock Nether Update and was amazed at the new content that’s been added to the game. The YouTuber made his glorious return to Minecraft on March 6 after a three-month-long break from streaming or making videos about the game. It turns out that his timing was pretty spot on, as the new Nether Update Beta, which brings a ton of new content, was released just 10 days after Felix hopped back into his save on March 16. After bidding farewell to his faithful canine companion Sven and inspecting the new damage to the Swedish Meatball, Felix descended into the Nether to check out all the new content. “It is pretty cool though, unironically I think this is dope,” the YouTuber said when he first saw the Crimson Forest. “When was the last time we saw a new biome in Minecraft?” However, he ran into some initial trouble with the Nether’s new residents, the Piglins, and couldn’t figure out why they didn’t instantly adore him. “There must be something I’m doing wrong, why do they not love me?” he wondered. “I’m so likeable and nice.” It was then that the Swede discovered Piglins will only respect you (and not attack) if you’re wearing a piece of gold armor. They’ll also trade random items like potions and materials for gold you drop for them. After discovering the Crimson Forest, it was time to explore the Warped Forest, which is arguably exponentially creepier than the other woodland area. Covered in a deep blue haze, the Warped Forest also boasts new materials – but it’s patrolled by the Endermen, who aren’t as easily impressed as the Piglins. The second forest also seems much more massive than the first, but that could just be because it’s easier to tell the difference between its green grass and the Nether’s usual red. PewDiePie only scratched the surface of the new update though, and still has a whole new biome – the Soulsand Valley – to explore. “There’s a new armor and a new biome we didn’t even see, oh my god,” the streamer said, amazed at the amount of new content. “Next episode, we’re going to get the Netherite armor.”

    PewDiePie memes Lady Gaga over her ‘fortnight’ Tweet YouTube: PewDiePie / Instagram: Lady GagaLady Gaga set Twitter alight on October 15, after simply asking ‘what’s fortnight’ amid the excitment over Fortnite Chapter 2, and while gamers everywhere tried to explain, YouTuber PewDiePie joked that she was a ‘boomer’. Gaga’s Tweet, which almost has a whopping 1 million likes at the time of writing, drew plenty of sarcastic responses, as well as some genuinely trying to explain what the battle royale game was all about. Top Fortnite streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins even offered to play the game alongside Gaga to help her understand it all, but this appeared to backfire after the singer and actress then tweeted “@Ninja who are you.” Kaceytron hits out at Ninja after Lady Gaga asks who he is Known for his love of memes, particularly through his popular YouTube show ‘Meme Review’, the Swede responded in classic fashion. Sharing her Tweet, he jokingly mocking Gaga as a “boomer” for her lack of gaming knowledge. The irony, of course, is that Lady Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, is only four years older than Kjellberg himself, at 33 and 29 respectively. However, the YouTuber is a seasoned gamer, with his original YouTube uploads all focused largely around playing various video games. Although he shifted to a more ‘commentary’ style of content, he has returned to his gaming-focused uploads in 2019, most notably with his incredibly popular Minecraft series. Surprisingly, he largely stayed away from making Fortnite content, with only a handful of videos and livestreams to speak of, even as it was by far the most popular game on YouTube. It certainly didn’t hurt his growth though, as he became the first individual creator to reach 100 million subscribers on his channel in August.

    PewDiePie makes guest appearance on Drama Alert to help defeat T-Series YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg made a special appearance on an episode of Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem’s Drama Alert show – with a hilarious call to arms. Before the episode began, KEEMSTAR noted that his voice was hoarse due to a recent sickness, and decided to call in some help to pull off his classic intro. After a faux phone call, none other than ‘Pew News’s’ Gloria Borger appeared on screen, with a special story regarding PewDiePie’s close race against Bollywood label T-Series to secure the most subscribers on the platform. “We interrupt this news segment for another news segment,” Pewds said, under the guise of Gloria. “PewDiePie… is losing the war against T-Series. …Now, it’s closer than ever. Subscribe, god dammit!” While Pewd’s feature on the show was short, his message rang loud and clear – the YouTuber is now less than 300,000 subs above T-Series as of January 25, as the label continues to climb in numbers despite their videos having comparatively minor views. However, T-Series isn’t the only channel competing with PewDiePie; YouTube group Dude Perfect openly challenged the long-standing king in a ‘Breaking News’ video on January 21, where they also announced an upcoming live tour. However, Dude Perfect sits at a mere 38 million subscribers – a far cry from PewDiePie’s own 82 million subs and counting. Pewds may be able to pull out all the stops with a massive lead in the near future, thanks to a plan concocted by popular YouTuber MrBeast, who hinted that he may have purchased an ad for the 2019 Super Bowl to help aid the Swede’s cause.

    PewDiePie makes “greatest” build ever in latest viral Minecraft video YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg has gone viral yet again with his latest Minecraft video, with each seemingly better than the last, this time teaming up with JackSepticEye for an insane build. Both YouTubers boast tens of millions of subscribers (PewDiePie even approaching 100 million) and have led the way in creating a second wave of popularity for Minecraft gameplay on the video sharing platform. Minecraft faced a challenge for gaming YouTube dominance from Fortnite Battle Royale in 2018, but has now firmly reclaimed its throne as the most-watched game. PewDiePie especially has played a major role in that, with each of his frequent videos instantly peaking at number one on trending for the gaming category, and racking up in excess of 10 million views consistently. In less than 24 hours, his duo Minecraft video with JackSepticEye, which runs over half-an-hour long, attracted 5.5 million views, and will be in double-digit millions in no time. The video sees the pair create a huge pyramid, but with a twist, as they somehow managed to construct it upside down. The pair realized too late that they had no way of actually reaching the top, and would have to build stairs, but they pulled out all the stops here too, constructing grand “bad-ass imperial steps” – as Jack put it. JackSepticEye’s version of the video was uploaded two days previously, and that too has pulled in millions of views, contributing to over 440 billion views on Minecraft content on YouTube. PewDiePie himself has seen his monthly views almost double thanks to his Minecraft uploads. In June, his total monthly views were a whopping 316 million, but in July this number reached 573 million – his highest number since the start of his channel, according to SocialBlade. On average, PewDiePie’s videos 18 million views a day, with the vast majority of this being Minecraft content.

While Kjellberg announced a race to 100 million subs against T-Series in early March, the YouTuber has since backpedaled on this goal, appearing to admit defeat in an episode of LWIAY on March 30. “Let’s get real here,” PewDiePie said of his loss. “T-Series have already passed. Let’s just acknowledge the situation. It’s over, okay? …we ain’t never gonna get to 100.” While PewDiePie put up a major fight for nearly half a year, T-Series managed to surpass the YouTuber by a wide margin on March 26 – and has stayed on top for nearly four days, as of March 30. T-Series currently sits at over 107,000 subs above PewDiePie; while the YouTuber has been known to bounce back from major defeats before, it doesn’t look like the YouTuber has another comeback plan in mind, as further hinted at by his statements in March 30’s LWIAY episode. “It feels weird – this is the first LWIAY I’ve recorded where we’re not technically winning,” PewDiePie continued. “Sad. Just sad.” PewDiePie’s fight against the label saw the involvement of major YouTubers and celebrities alike, with the likes of political commentator Ben Shapiro and Tesla CEO Elon Musk making appearances on Kjellberg’s ‘Meme Review’ show. [Timestamp: 19:48 for mobile viewers] Popular YouTuber Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson likewise made massive contributions to their battle, creating a citywide ad campaign across his hometown and even taking the fight to the 2019 Super Bowl, where he and his squad wore a series of shirts that read, ‘Sub 2 PewDiePie’ on live television. Even hackers jumped in on the action, infiltrating Chromecasts, Smart TVs, and even printers in an effort to boost PewDiePie’s subscriber count ahead of T-Series. Despite the efforts of his dedicated fanbase, Kjellberg may have lost his crown for good, even reiterating that he “doesn’t care” about who comes out on top in the end.

[Ad name=”article1″] Ahead of making his entries, PewDiePie revealed that he had first learned how to use the graphic editing software by taking part in these competitions, “This is actually how I learned photoshop, I used to do tiny sub-community competitions.” “I remember how thrilling it was to submit and have people vote on what you made in photoshop, he said, explaining why he decided to take part, “I thought that was so fun even if five people participated, it was still cool.” The YouTuber made many bizarre creations to enter in the r/photoshopbattles subreddit, showing off his capabilities with the Adobe app by completely transforming photos to be meme-worthy. [Ad name=”article2″] However, one of his better entries made use of the newly revealed Tesla Cybertruck, which has quickly become a meme for its unusual style, as he transformed the image into the iconic Warthog vehicle from Bungie’s Halo series. Although PewDiePie spent a lot of time on some of his entries, he failed to see much results for his effort as the only win he could claim was due to no one else entering the competition, “No one else posted? That means I won, alright we got one win gamers.” [Ad name=”article3″] Despite being upset over his lack of wins in the photoshop battles, the popular content creator explained that he actually had fun taking part in the competition with his unusual entries. PewDiePie is continuing to gain a massive following on YouTube with his daily upload schedule and seems to be well on his way to hitting 110 million subscribers soon.

  • Pewdiepie left dumbfounded by xQc’s “hoarder” streaming setup – Dexerto

    Pewdiepie left dumbfounded by xQc’s “hoarder” streaming setup In a recent reaction style video from Pewdiepie, YouTube’s biggest creator was shocked after xQc revealed his messy streaming setup. During a Twitch stream on August 19, xQc allowed his viewers to peek behind the curtain and showed just how messy his streaming setup had become. Bags of trash and unfinished food were piled up beside xQc’s desk, and the desk itself was riddled with cans of soda and styrofoam cups. His fans were left disgusted as this trash is usually kept out of frame. A few days later, Pewdiepie would upload a video titled ‘Stream Fails (Top 1)‘ where he and CinnamonToastKen would react to various live stream highlights. xQc’s clip made the cut. Pewdiepie shocked by xQc’s trash pile At 16 minutes and 17 seconds into the video, the infamous clip would roll sending Pewdiepie into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. Pewds shared his thoughts on xQc’s setup stating, “The drinks I’m like ‘okay’ but the uneaten food that’s old… that’s just bad dude. What do you think? You’re streaming like 24/7.” Ken then chimed in, “You just throw your bag over there in the pile? I’ve reacted to hoarder videos that look a lot like this.” To which Pewdiepie agreed while fighting off more laughter. Later, xQc would react to Pewdiepie seeing his setup. Sitting in silence for more of the clip, xQc would pause the video to address his viewers. “No joke… nobody can relate to this probably, but Dave’s chicken – when it goes kinda bad over a couple days, like five days or whatever – it actually smells kind of good. When the fries and the pickles go bad, it smells decent.” Pewdiepie and Ken also reacted to Asmongold’s set up in the same video when it was at its peak messiness. His setup was substantially dirtier than xQc’s taking over a larger portion of Asmon’s room. However, after a recent “mid-life crisis”, Asmon cleaned his room revealing parts of the floor he hadn’t seen in quite some time. This shows that, even though xQc is hoarding piles of garbage, it’s not too late for the streamer to get his room back in order.

  • PewDiePie briefly loses YouTube subscriber top spot to T-Series – Dexerto

    PewDiePie briefly loses YouTube subscriber top spot to T-Series It finally happened – after months of speculation and predictions, PewDiePie briefly lost his spot as the most subscribed YouTube channel to Indian production company T-Series on March 17, 2019. PewDiePie, real name Felix Kjellberg, has been the king of the Google-owned video-sharing platform since 2013, and for a long while it looked as though nobody would ever get close to him. However, it became apparent in the summer of 2018 that the Swedish entertainer finally had some competition in the form of T-Series, a channel that many avid fans of YouTube had never even heard of. A bit of digging revealed T-Series is, in fact, a music and film company in India that uploads multiple Bollywood music videos to YouTube every single day and has amassed well over 60 billion views in the process – 40 billion more than PewDiePie! The growth of T-Series’ subscriber count made it clear to analysts and pundits that the Indian channel would inevitably overtake PewDiePie before the two channels broke the 70 million subscriber mark. Pewds wasn’t finished, though. With the help of an excellent ad campaign from fellow YouTuber MrBeast, a few hilarious T-Series roasts and even a diss track, PewDiePie managed to maintain the gap and even break the coveted 69 million subs mark first. The 29-year-old then went on to hit 70 million and 71 million subscribers first, but T-Series suddenly started to gain ground at a rate of knots in mid-November and was predicted take the number one spot before the month came to an end. The YouTube and entertainment community banded together to help PewDiePie defeat the corporate might of T-Series (even Elon Musk got involved!) and the Swede incredibly managed to hold on to his spot well into 2019, even after briefly being overtaken following a YouTube subscriber purge. The milestones continued to stack up and by January of 2019 PewDiePie became the first YouTuber to hit 80 millions subs, then 81 and 82… and 83. In February he surpassed 85 million subs and by March he had over 89 million. Throughout the campaign, PewDiePie did emergency livestreams of games like Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox and received support from the likes of Markiplier and Jacksepticeye. On March 2 he seemed to throw in the towel as T-Series once again closed the gap to less than 5,000. The moment of panic seemed to briefly be over after his Tweet on the situation, but T-Series was once again closing in at an alarming rate. Despite T-Series seemingly taking the lead for good on March 13 after going up by over 3,000 subs for a few minutes, PewDiePie rebounded and has now extended his gap to a 9,000 subscriber lead over T-Series. However, on March 17, T-Series jumped back into the lead, with an even wider gap of over 4,000. :rotating_light:RED ALERT:rotating_light: :rotating_light:T-SERIES HAS PASSED PEWDIEPIE:rotating_light: FIGHT BACK, FIGHT BACK THIS CANNOT BE THE END!! :rotating_light::rotating_light: LETS GO, THE GAP IS NOW -6 — PewDiePie :rotating_light:SUBGAP ALERT:rotating_light: (@subgap) March 13, 2019 It’s clear that this race will likely go on for some time before one side can pull ahead for good.

  • PewDiePie lashes out at YouTuber JustDestiny for using underage girls in thumbnails – Dexerto

    PewDiePie lashes out at YouTuber JustDestiny for using underage girls in thumbnails PewDiePie, YouTube / VideoBlocks.comYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is taking issue with fellow YouTuber ‘JustDestiny,’ who faces mass criticism for using suggestive photos of underage girls in the thumbnails of his videos. PewDiePie called out the YouTuber in an episode of ‘Pew News’ on February 12, where he claimed that viewers were right to criticize the thumbnails due to their morally questionable content. “Most people are criticizing you for using really, really young girls in a sexual manner as a thumbnail,” Pewds said of the issue. “…to use underage girls is very questionable. It’s kind of a gross thing to do.” Pewds likewise noted that JustDestiny claimed the video of a 15-year-old creator by the name of ‘LtCobra’ for criticizing his thumbnails – and even went on to file a lawsuit against the teen. The alleged lawsuit was later speculated to be false, as no record of attorneys listed on the suit could be found on the New York bar, according to investigations by Drama Alert host ‘KEEMSTAR.’ Dear @JustDestinyYT The lawyer’s office you used to send a legal threat to @LtCobraLad seems to be fake! There is no record of any of these people listed as attorney’s on the NY bar that we can find. Its a felony to use a fake law firm to intimidate people with lawsuit threats! pic.twitter.com/8hJFXttehW — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) February 12, 2019 “He’s basically using fake threats and scare tactics to get this kid to shut up from criticizing him,” PewDiePie continued. “…just acknowledge that you were wrong and move on.” JustDestiny has since offered LtCobra an ultimatum, asking that the teen issue a “public apology” for “spreading misinformation” in a publicized Discord conversation. ‘It was merely a joke’ I know I haven’t really made any public announcements regarding this situation and I apologize for that. This whole situation just got way out of hand due to me not addressing it sooner. You haven’t heard my side and you know only of- pic.twitter.com/4EMMLtvTny— JD :crescent_moon: (@JustDestinyYT) February 10, 2019 LtCobra claimed that his video was made as mere “criticism” rather than slander

  • PewDiePie lashes out against outrage culture and white power “symbols” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie lashes out against outrage culture and white power “symbols” Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg rules as the undisputed king of YouTube, boasting over 102 million subscribers. However, internet fame comes with a price, as the Swede has learned throughout his career as an online entertainer. Unlike his usual “Meme Review” and Minecraft videos, PewDiePie’s latest video – uploaded on November 7 – began as a sort of documentary, explaining the rise of certain “white supremacist” symbols that spawned online. However, gestures like the “okay sign” and memes like “Pepe the Frog” have been merely twisted by 4Chan trolls and the like to get a rise out of the general public, which PewDiePie decried and urged his viewers to avoid acknowledging. “Even if the okay symbol used to mean ‘okay,’ these things change,” he argued. “The validity of its changed meaning is pointed towards white supremacists now actually using it – but of course they’re going to use it. Unlike other hate symbols, this was given to them. Stop making it so easy for these people.” The YouTuber went on to discuss outrage “culture,” claiming that backlash against fake dog whistles – which are then picked up and used by racist groups – is rewarded through social media engagement. “There is a clear culture around getting upset,” he continued. “It’s false virtue rewarded with likes. We’re basically training ourselves to act like this. …by acting angry and upset at these things, you’re giving validity to the symbol.” Kjellberg concluded his discussion on the topic by claiming that “by accusing people who aren’t white supremacists of being white supremacists, you’re helping white supremacists,” and asked his viewers to stop “getting upset” at and to stop spamming the ‘okay’ symbol. Some might see this video as a response to PewDiePie’s past controversies, whatever the Swede’s intentions for speaking out on this subject originally were – but given recent events, it does seem timely. During his years on YouTube, PewDiePie has been accused of being a white supremacist, with his latest scandal cropping up after he wore what critics claimed to be an “iron cross” during a September 12 video. While Kjellberg explained that the design was, instead, a Georgian Bolnisi Cross, the star continues to suffer from allegations of using racist “dog whistles” – a recurring theme that ties into his latest expose on the topic.

  • PewDiePie lashes out at YouTube after his YouTube Rewind video gets major views – Dexerto

    PewDiePie lashes out at YouTube after his YouTube Rewind video gets major views PewDiePie, YouTube Rewind 2018 – YouTubeYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is taking shots at the video platform, after his remake of YouTube Rewind 2018 failed to make the trending page – regardless of its massive view count. PewDiePie addressed the issue in an episode of ‘LWIAY’ on December 30, where he reacted to a fan’s Tweet asking YouTube why his Rewind rendition wasn’t trending. “So, I don’t know why, but I go on the trending page and Ninja is at number one with seven million views in a day,” the fan explained. “But I can’t find PewDiePie, who got like nine million views in 11 hours.” Pewds went on to criticize YouTube’s trending algorithm, speculating that rather than using views as a metric for popularity, the platform takes note of how many “outside viewers” a video receives, instead. “This is such a massive video, and I had other videos trending for way less,” he continued. “I’m genuinely concerned that they actually decided to not put it on trending because it makes YouTube look bad.” While PewDiePie’s theory has not been confirmed, it wouldn’t be the first time the YouTuber has had his projects suppressed; the second season of Pewds’ YouTube Originals show, ‘Scare PewDiePie,’ was shelved following an anti-Semitic joke he made in an alleged attempt to test the limits of freelance service Fiverr in February 2017. PewDiePie’s YouTube Rewind video currently has over 25 million views as of December 30, and reportedly gained around 10 million views in 12 hours after being uploaded.

  • PewDiePie jokes about “dumb” streamers watching Avatar on Twitch – Dexerto

    PewDiePie jokes about “dumb” streamers watching Avatar on Twitch YouTube: PewDiePie / Twitch: PokimaneYouTuber PewDiePie roasted Twitch streamers watching TV shows & movies during their live broadcast. The Swedish content creator joked about personalities like Pokimane and Mizkif streaming Avatar: The Last Airbender. The react meta that has exploded on Twitch in 2022 was shaken up after Imane ‘Pokimane‘ Anys was banned for watching Avatar: The Last Airbender on January 8. On her return stream, the OfflineTV creator defended herself from critics calling her “lazy” for watching shows live. YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg weighed in on the drama surrounding the trend during his live broadcast by cracking a joke about it. The entertainer questioned why anyone would risk their channels by watching copyrighted material like Avatar. PewDiePie jokes about Twitch streamers watching Avata The YouTuber had just booted up his Elder Scrolls Skyrim livestream on January 11 when a fan jokingly mentioned streamers watching TV shows and movies on Twitch. Responding to the comment, PewDiePie cracked a joke about streamers like Pokimane and Mizkif.

See that’s a lie because no one would be dumb enough to do that,” he exclaimed before blankly staring off to the side of his camera. After a moment, PewDiePie couldn’t resist the jab he made and started laughing while cracking a smile. The content creator was clearly kidding as his humor is often bitingly sarcastic. While Pewds was telling a lighthearted joke, he isn’t the first a YouTuber has taken aim at the reaction meta sweeping Twitch. In a January 2 upload, Ludwig Ahgren said the streaming industry needed to “course correct” and warned creators that they are putting their channels at risk. At the time of writing, it’s not entirely clear how PewDiePie feels about the TV show meta, although his joke about Pokimane’s ban could give a hint. He will likely open up about it during a future livestream as he is currently on vacation from uploads until February 2022.

  • PewDiePie just threw shade at David Dobrik again – Dexerto

    PewDiePie just threw shade at David Dobrik again YouTube: PewDiePie, David DobrikYouTube star Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg isn’t shying away from taking shots at fellow influencer David Dobrik amid the multiple allegations surrounding his older prank videos. David Dobrik is currently one of the internet’s most divisive influencers. Once YouTube’s top vlogger, Dobrik is now facing the loss of multiple sponsors and thousands of subscribers in wake of his recent controversies. For those out of the loop, Dobrik is facing backlash for his previous vlogs, where he orchestrated a number of pranks that made participants uncomfortable — including one prank that left influencer Seth Francois “traumatized.” While many content creators have shared their opinions on the matter, one of the biggest to weigh in on the subject is PewDiePie, who currently reigns as YouTube’s most-subscribed independent content creator. In March, PewDiePie notably took shots at Dobrik during one of his own videos, calling him “shady” and “weird” amid the allegations that were surfacing against him at the time. “How is he able to get away with all this sh*t?” the YouTuber asked. “He’s doing so much weird sh*t. If I did that, I’d be canceled. How is he doing it?” https://twitter.com/defnoodles/status/1368657590289190914?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1368657590289190914twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentpewdiepie-calls-david-dobrik-shady-and-weird-in-livestream-1528856 That wasn’t the last time he’d throw shade at Dobrik, either; on April 13, Kjellberg took another shot at the influencer after reacting to one of Dobrik’s TikToks. Read More: 10 streamers we’d like to see in a WWE ring – The video in question showed Dobrik holding a whiskey bottle that had been gifted to him from Tesla, prompting PewDiePie to take a dig at allegations against Vlog Squad member Jeff Wittek for allegedly supplying alcohol to underage drinkers. “Oh, David Dobrik?” Kjellberg jibbed as the TikTok began to play. “I thought he was done by now! What are you gonna do with that alcohol David, huh? You slimeball, you sleazeball.” (Topic begins at 9:25) “Look at that!” he continued, mocking Dobrik’s shocked tone of voice. “Can’t wait for my friends to get drunk off of that so I can get content!” While it’s clear that PewDiePie isn’t too shy to poke at other creators, he has predicted a comeback for Dobrik — although there’s no telling when, or if, the internet will be willing to welcome him back.

  • PewDiePie & Jacksepticeye floored by insane deepfake of themselves – Dexerto

    PewDiePie & Jacksepticeye floored by insane deepfake of themselves PewDiePie, Twitter: JackSepticEyeDeepfakes have been popping up all over the internet for years, but this insane deepfake of PewDiePie and Jacksepticeye has both YouTubers totally stunned. For those unaware, deepfakes are described as “synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else’s likeness.” As you can imagine, the deepfake world and YouTube go hand in hand, with stars like WillNe trolling TommyInnit among others with hilarious synthetic copies. It turns out Tommy isn’t the only one who’s been baffled by this insane trend. YouTube icons PewDiePie and jacksepticeye have discovered a deepfake of themselves, and their reactions are hilarious. PewDiePie and Jacksepticeye react to deepfake While scrolling through the PewDiePie subreddit, both Pewds and Jack come across a crazily detailed deepfake of themselves. The original conversation is between two guys who want to make it on YouTube. One confesses to the other that he’s shy and doesn’t think he can make it, and after an inspirational speech the friend anticlimactically tells the aspiring YouTuber that he’ll never make it. With PewDiePie cast as shy guy and Jack as his cool YouTuber friend, both gamers can’t get enough of it. “Wait, what, wow!” Pewds says, with Jack stunned by the fact that “that’s [his] voice!” The hilarity begins as we get further into the video, with Jack’s character using “shay” instead of “shy” and sending both YouTubers into a frenzy. They conclude that the video’s creator, BurritoGlasses, has “huge PP,” the most prestigious award that a Pewds fan can receive. Deepfakes are pretty contentious, with many complaining that their likeness is being stolen and exploited for sinister purposes. In this case, though, the entire situation is a lot of fun. Seeing the PewDiePie/Spedicey duo back together is great, and we can’t wait to see what other crazy shenanigans they get up to in 2021. So, don’t worry if you’re feeling a little ‘shay’ today, Jack’s got some inspirational life advice for you.

While James Charles had a rather unceremonious start to his Twitch career, no one can keep YouTube’s premier makeup guru down and is firing up his channel again to compete in the event. Meanwhile PewDiePie is again streaming on his platform of choice Dlive as the two popular creators try to make their way through the brackets of KEEMSTAR’s latest event featuring Minecraft. 600“I bet this is a friendship and stream that you didn’t see coming.” To join up on the surprise collaboration, viewers can join either the sisters or the bros by visiting either other their live feeds. Fans of PewDiePie will be familiar with his antics that can be caught exclusively on DLive, but those who want to tune into James Charles can find him on his Twitch channel: JCharlesBeauty. The duo are up against 18 other teams vying for the chance to move onto the next round of the Minecraft Monday’s hotly contested bracket. Minecraft Monday turns educational Throughout the stream, the pair seemed to have plenty of chemistry as PewDiePie decided to teach James Charles a few things about playing Minecraft. Whether it was James learning how to “helicopter” or them talking about why they named their duo “dick and balls,” there was plenty of hilarious antics from start to finish. What are the rules in Monday Minecraft? Keemstar laid out all that entrants need to know in order to assert their dominance in the Monday Minecraft set of rules. For every Elimination a team gets +10 on their score, meanwhile a Victory Royale nets a squad +30 to their total. Moreover, the “top two teams” get +20 score while the “top three teams” get +10 score to their name. Just surviving a game will get someone +2 score, but “whenever a team is eliminated all other remaining teams earn +2 score.” While teams are obviously working together, the scores for Placements, Surviving, and Victory Royales are evenly split between the members of the team unless someone dies. In that case, the scores will be “awarded to the surviving teammate” to “reflect individual contribution.” There is NO cross-teaming, feeding, mods or resource packs that grant unfair advantages allowed in Monday Minecraft. While trash talk is definitely allowed, players must “still conduct [themselves] respectfully.” And Keemstar added a note about Clout chase, saying players shouldn’t be a “sore loser” insted just HAVE FUN! The hilarity is at an all time high as PewDiePie is screaming memes at the top of his lungs, while the new streamer Charles does the best he can while trying to navigate Minecraft and the technical difficulties of live streaming.

  • PewDiePie surprised by how much is in Tekashi 6ix9ine’s bank account amid court trial – Dexerto

    PewDiePie surprised by how much is in Tekashi 6ix9ine’s bank account amid court trial Tekashi 6ix9ine, the rapper currently facing charges with a supposed 32 year prison sentence attached, has caught the attention of YouTube’s biggest star, PewDiePie. According to PewDiePie, 6ix9ine was supposed to host his popular ‘meme review’ show, although it’s not clear if this was really planned or if the Swede is just ‘meme-ing’ himself. PewDiePie, real name Felix Kjellberg, even came up with a hilarious theory that 6ix9ine had these charges brought against him just to stop his appearance on meme review. During a video uploaded on November 23, he doubled down on his theory, saying “that’s right – Tekashi 6ix9ine was supposed to host meme review – and now he goes to jail, for 32 years possibly – coincidence? I don’t think so.” Kjellberg then went through the various charges which 6ix9ine is facing, before reaching the section which described what his lawyer had offered up for bail. “Tekashi offered $1.7 million from his bank account and his passport. […] I just thought it was funny, rappers are all about money – barely has $2 million in his account. I’m not saying that’s little, but considering how much he flexes, it’s like, really? That’s all you have in your account?” Of course this doesn’t necessarily mean that this is the entirety of 6ix9ine’s wealth, but this could potentially be fully exposed if authorities choose to seize his assets or recover proceeds from crime. PewDiePie also shows a clip of 6ix9ine on The Breakfast Club, where the rapper says he is only scared of two things; God and the FBI – highlighting the irony of this statement only weeks before his arrest. In closing, the YouTuber says he hopes that 6ix9ine will still one day host meme review, either in 32 years when he is free, or perhaps even from jail – “that would be pretty epic.”

  • PewDiePie isn’t buying into the Squid Game hype: ‘It’s just an anime ripoff!’ – Dexerto

    PewDiePie isn’t buying into the Squid Game hype: ‘It’s just an anime ripoff!’ YouTube: PewDiePie / NetflixPopular YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg shared his take on the hit Netflix series Squid Game. The Swedish star explained why he thinks the show isn’t original and why he thinks it’s flawed. Ever since its release in September 2021, Korean Netflix series Squid Game has taken the world by storm. The death game drama has captivated viewers with its brutal story and thrilling challenges, which fans have tried attempting on platforms like TikTok. However, one person not in love with it is YouTube star PewDiePie. The 31-year-old gave his thoughts on the popular show during his October 4 upload. According to Kjellberg, the story is not only a little too similar to some anime, but it also has one glaring flaw. PewDiePie criticizes Squid Game For his latest upload, the YouTuber played a re-creation of Squid Game in Roblox. While attempting the last man-standing contest in game form, he revealed how he felt about the Netflix series dominating the charts. “Why is no one talking about how Squid Game is like ripping off all these animes. Like Kaiji and Liar Game, ain’t nothing new! Right?!” the entertainer exclaimed while showing images from the Netflix drama side-by-side to the anime series. As far as what the show’s biggest flaw is according to Pewds? It’s protagonist Gi-Hun. “Plus, what was fun about those shows was the fact that the protagonist was actually kind of smart,” he said. (Topic starts at 00:34) Although the YouTube star was critical of the Netflix hit, he admitted that he had not yet finished it. “I don’t know how it changes. I’ve only watched a few episodes of Squid Game.” Hilariously, PewDiePie was stumped when he had to play the infamous “honeycomb” game which went viral on TikTok. “I am SO CONFUSED playing a child’s game!” he yelled. Despite his critical take, the content creator couldn’t get enough of the Roblox re-creation. “That was Squid Game. Very fun! I actually enjoyed myself.” Who knows, perhaps the Swede could come around to loving the show once he makes it to the end.

  • PewDiePie is finally tired of TikTok, says “there’s no actual content left” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie is finally tired of TikTok, says “there’s no actual content left” The current king of YouTube, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, is finally done making TikTok reaction videos. PewDiePie expressed some dissatisfaction with the lip syncing application in his latest reaction video on November 7, feeling as though TikTok has already reached its creative limits. “Now, it’s just gone full circle,” PewDiePie said of the app’s nearly endless parody clips. “There’s no actual content left. It’s just kids trolling each other. …at this point, no one is making actual TikTok videos.” PewDiePie then went on to state that he would no longer make any reaction videos for the application because of this reason, also remarking that he has been ‘milking’ its constant stream of content. “This is the last one,” he said to his audience. “I promise, guys. Don’t worry, I will not milk this topic any further than it needs to be.” This development doesn’t come as a huge surprise, as Felix has expressed some confusion towards the app’s popularity in previous reaction videos. Although he managed to find some entertainment in it before, it looks like the neverending ‘I’m already Tracer’ videos are starting to get to him. Read More: KEEMSTAR calls out YouTube for terminating channel of player who killed feminist character in Red Dead Redemption 2 – While PewDiePie might be finished with the app, his avid supporter and big-budget creator MrBeast continues to support it, with his past few videos being sponsored by the company – including his most recent video, where he revealed that he would be quitting Twitch donations in future projects. PewDiePie’s final TikTok reaction video follows his achievement of 69 million subscribers, after which he expressed hope for a collaboration with rapper Takeshi69.

  • PewDiePie is “so f**king jealous” of Vikkstar’s new YouTuber mansion – Dexerto

    PewDiePie is “so f**king jealous” of Vikkstar’s new YouTuber mansion YouTube: PewDiePie, VikkstarPewDiePie has made a habit of rating influencer house tours, usually with a negative consensus… but Vikkstar’s massive new mansion may have finally impressed him. PewDiePie is YouTube’s most-subscribed independent content creator. Boasting over 110 million subscribers, it’s safe to say he’s the undisputed “king” of the platform — and, as such, he’s taken it into his own hands to grade his fellow creators’ shiny new houses. Influencer house tours are nothing new. Once someone gets on the path to internet stardom, it stands to reason they’d upgrade their living conditions to match their income level, often sharing their new abodes with their viewers. Some YouTuber houses are more opulent than others, and some are just downright outrageous — a fact that PewDiePie isn’t scared to call out. Thus far, he’s roasted the homes of Pokimane, David Dobrik, and even TikTok star Neekolul, finding fault with each one (but, admittedly, giving praise where it’s due). This time, though, a YouTuber may have finally made him jealous. Vikkstar, a UK-based influencer with over 7 million subscribers, unveiled his James Bond-style mansion a few days ago… and it’s safe to say that PewDiePie was impressed, if begrudgingly so. Vikkstar’s new home boasts a cozy cinema room, a home gym (complete with a kitchenette), a koi pond, hot tub, and a pool, alongside a massive kitchen/living area and two other spacious living rooms. The master bathroom is truly a sight to see, bedecked in black marble that’s perfect for concocting one’s evil plans. While PewDiePie took issue with some of the décor and the grey/black color scheme of the house, he admitted that he was jealous of Vikkstar’s abode, as he’s stuck in his current accommodations until he can move to his spot in Japan. “I’m so f**king jealous,” PewDiePie laughed. “I have so much money, but I’m here, because I am waiting to move, and it’s so frustrating. Another problem is, I would never buy a house like this, ’cause it’s just like, why?” “What is wrong with me?” he continued. “I’m jealous, but I could get it, but I don’t want it. What the f**k?” (Topic begins at 10:38) Even though he was highly complimentary toward the mansion, he ended up putting Vikkstar’s new pad in C-Tier — but that’s high praise coming from PewDiePie, who will have to wait until he can move overseas to show off his own new house.

    PewDiePie details insane Minecraft plan for his 96 million pig army YouTube: PewDiePie / MojangYouTube superstar Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is another step closer to his showdown with the Wither in Minecraft, after finding a key piece needed to unleash his diabolical plans for the infamous mob boss. On August 3, PewDiePie got insanely lucky when he was able to get all the item drops he needed to summon a Wither monster in Minecraft. In a video he posted to YouTube on August 5, the Swede revealed his plans for his army of 96 million pigs, as he obtained another key item important to his battle strategy for his upcoming showdown with the mob boss. PewDiePie got lucky again The YouTube superstar’s lucky streak continued as he managed to obtain the item he needed for his quest rather quickly. While travelling by boat with his trusty dog sidekick ‘Sven’, the duo were attacked by a ‘Drowned’ – the enemy he needed to drop the ‘Trident’ item he was looking for. “He’s shooting us Sven!” the star said before lunging off the boat to attack the creature. Pewds then gave the Drowned an ultimatum before swinging at the enemy with his sword: “Drop your trident now, or there will be consequences. Drop it now or consequences!” Much to his surprise, the monster actually dropped the Trident almost immediately. “He dropped it right away! Yes. Yes! We rule Sven!” he laughed with glee. 600While the Trident isn’t a rare drop item by any means, the YouTuber had actually lost his old one a while back during a previous play session so he was happy to have it back. The Trident on its own is a decent enough weapon, but where it really shines is through ‘enchantments’ which allow you to change the property of how it is used. PewDiePie used the ‘channeling’ enchantment on the weapon, which allows you to summon a bolt of lightning during a thunderstorm and strike the object you throw it at. PewDiePie’s plan for his 96 million pig army The YouTube star then talked about his plans for his 96 million pig army – and it’s downright diabolical. Using the Trident to summon a bolt of lighting, he plans on hitting his pig army with it, so that they become charged and turned into ‘Zombie Pigmen’. “Once there is a thunderstorm, if I hit the pigs, they will be turned into pig soldiers. Which we are going to use to fight the Wither,” he explained with a huge smile on his face. Who knows when PewDiePie will finally get the thunderstorm he needs, but watching the electrifying moment his pigs are turned into an actual army is sure to be quite the spectacle.

  • PewDiePie introduces new puppy ‘Momo’ after pug Maya’s passing – Dexerto

    PewDiePie introduces new puppy ‘Momo’ after pug Maya’s passing YouTube: PewDiePieYouTube star PewDiePie has introduced the newest member of his family, a puppy called ‘Momo,’ who he got prior to the unexpected passing of his beloved pet pug Maya earlier this month. Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg hasn’t been shy of sharing his day-to-day life with his 111 million YouTube subscribers. Ever since moving to Japan, the Swedish internet star has been uploading regular vlogs showing off his experiences in the country, where he lives with his wife, Marzia, and their two pugs, Maya and Edgar. However, their little family experienced a devastating loss earlier this month when Kjellberg revealed that Maya had passed away at 17 years old. He’d previously given fans an update on the dog’s health back in July, saying she was suffering from dementia. “I didn’t think I could love a dog as much as I loved her,” PewDiePie said in a statement about Maya’s death. “Thank you for all the wonderful time we got to spend with you. Thank you for always making my days brighter. Thank you for bringing me closer to Marzia. I will miss you so much and I already do.. you will always be in my heart Maya.” PewDiePie introduces new ‘chug’ puppy ‘Momo’ to fans A few days later, Kjellberg returned to YouTube with an update. He and Marzia have introduced a new puppy to their family unit, which they affectionately named ‘Momo,’ or ‘Peach’ in the Japanese language. Despite the timing of his latest vlog, PewDiePie explained that he and Marzia had actually gotten their new puppy prior to Maya’s passing in November, with all three dogs getting introduced to each other during the video. Momo is a mix between a pug and a chihuahua, which is also known as a ‘chug.’ Although the YouTuber didn’t divulge any other information about their newest pup, it’s clear that she’s a welcome addition to their unit as fans offer their support amid the Kjellbergs’ sudden loss.

  • PewDiePie in hysterics over “happy ending” to Alinity cat drama – Dexerto

    PewDiePie in hysterics over “happy ending” to Alinity cat drama YouTube: PewDiePie / Twitch: AlinityYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg was in hysterics over a viral clip of Twitch streamer Natalia ‘Alinity’ Mogollon being bitten by her cat. The Swedish entertainer explained how it was a “happy ending” for those on internet that were angry at her. Twitch personality Alinity kicked off a firestorm in 2019 when video surfaced where she threw her cat named Milo over her shoulders. Viewers from around the world were outraged at what critics claimed was “animal abuse.” During his March 16 upload, PewDiePie reacted to a popular clip of the streamer being bitten by her pet during her March 6 broadcast. The YouTube star jokingly explained why the internet was “satisfied” by the incident. PewDiePie reacts to Alinity being bitten by her cat The YouTuber’s latest video was centered on the r/LivestreamFails subreddit – a popular forum which hosts clips from Twitch broadcasts. He then stumbled upon a post titled “Milo gets revenge on Alinity” that had over 12,000 upvotes. However, the video attached was removed due to copyright, which caused the Swede to joke, “The content was removed by copyright claim. So I can’t react to Alinity getting bitten by her cat. Are you serious?” Not willing to disappoint his viewers, he said “Can I show a still image at least?” before finding a backup link to the video. “Oh, the music is copyrighted. That’s why! Just imagine the most horrific singing voice of all time, basically.” In the original stream, Alinity was singing Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” when the cat jumped up and bit her arm. Pewds then paused the video at the moment the feline pulled at her skin and burst into laughter. “Look at the freakin’… It gets a huge pile of meat, dude! Look at that, look at that. That’s so much!” he said as he zoomed in closer on the clip. Pinching his own arm skin, he told viewers “I can’t even!” Sarcastically, he then explained why the internet would be pleased about what happened. “How nice is this that this is the conclusion of the Alinity versus cat saga. It ended with a happy ending, and the internet was satisfied.” (Timestamp 03:05 for mobile users.) PewDiePie was, of course, joking as his sarcastic humor has become a staple of his channel. However the clip going viral shows that people are still upset over Alinity’s cat incident from 2019. The Swedish star has continued to rack up millions of views on his recent reaction videos, and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. He currently has an astonishing 103 million subs to his channel.

  • PewDiePie makes incredible gesture for charity in honor of Keanu Reeves – Dexerto

    PewDiePie makes incredible gesture for charity in honor of Keanu Reeves PewDiePie, YouTube / CD Projekt RedYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, like many across the internet, is currently obsessed with A-List actor Keanu Reeves, following his meme-worthy appearance at E3 2019 – but he’s doing much more than making ‘Meme Review’ videos about the John Wick lead. PewDiePie uploaded yet another video discussing the celebrity on June 17, following his initial ‘Meme Review’ episode discussing Reeves, which gave any and all Keanu memes a 10/10. This time, PewDiePie took a deep dive into Reeves’ life story, noting that the actor had experienced a rough past leading up to his current stardom in the mainstream media. Reeves’ youth saw a troubled relationship with his parents, with his father abandoning his family when he was just three years old and his mother remarrying multiple times, leaving him in the care of nannies and babysitters. Later in life, Reeves’ girlfriend, Jennifer Syme, gave birth to their stillborn child, later dying in a motor vehicle accident – while his sister fought for her life against Leukemia, ultimately surviving the disease. 600https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Keanu_Reeves.jpgIt was due to these harrowing details that PewDiePie decided to donate all profits made from his video toward the Leukemia Research Foundation – as well as a personal detail from his own life. “It’s where Keanu donated a lot of money,” Kjellberg explained. “His sister went through Leukemia and she survived. It took my grandad. I thought that could be a nice ending to it, and have a nice Keanu effect.” [Timestamp: 16:22 for mobile viewers] PewDiePie also noted that the now-famous heckler at Keanu’s E3 presentation was offered an early copy of Cyberpunk 2077, who ultimately turned the offer down, asking the developers to donate to charity, instead. This wouldn’t be the first time Kjellberg has delved into charity by far; in fact, the Swede even orchestrated a massive charity drive for ‘Child Rights and You’ in December 2018, an India-based organization founded to benefit struggling children. PewDiePie’s initial goal of £150,000 was promptly surpassed, raising over $246,000 for the charity in the midst of his heated battle with Bollywood music label T-Series, who ultimately took his crown of being YouTube’s most subscribed channel in late March.

  • PewDiePie shares hysterical reaction to finding Minecraft Instagram filters – Dexerto

    PewDiePie shares hysterical reaction to finding Minecraft Instagram filters YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg was blown away after finding Minecraft Instagram filters, and had the most hilarious reaction when he discovered his own character in the photo app. PewDiePie made his return to gaming in June 2019 with the launch of his Minecraft series, which became so popular it revitalized the almost 10-year-old sandbox game, even making it the second highest selling game in August. During his October 30 upload, the Swede was messing around with Instagram filters, and was blown away when he found his own Minecraft character in the photo app. The Swede was messing around with various Instagram filters when he found out that they had Minecraft ones in the app. “Oh my god!” he exclaimed after seeing himself as the sandbox protagonist Steve. He then realized that the filter even had the game’s iconic piano music playing in the background. Read More: Top 10 PewDiePie Minecraft moments so far – “Bruh!” he shouted, as he panned his camera around with the Nether in the background. “Whoa! I’m in the Nether! Ah!” he screamed, as he pointed his finger in the air striking a pose. “Jesus Christ make it stop!” The YouTube star then swiped to the next filter, only to recognize his own Minecraft character was in the app. “Huh! What!?” he exclaimed upon seeing himself. “I’m PewDiePie! This is so cool!” The Swede then figured out how to change the background, and switched it to the default map. “Sven! Sven! Where are you!?” he screamed out for his sidekick pup, a popular character in his Minecraft series. He then hilariously called out for his horse “Joergen!?”, before he asked “How do they do this? This is sick!” (Timestamp of 01:59 for mobile viewers.) PewDiePie continues to crush it, as he recently hit 102 million subscribers on October 28, making him the first individual content creator on the platform to reach those numbers. The Swede broke his 100 million subscriber milestone on August 24, and has continued to dominate in views. While the Swede has moved away from doing daily Minecraft episodes and has gone back to doing a mix of reaction content alongside them, there is no doubt that his videos on the sandbox games have played a pivotal role in securing him as one of the biggest entertainers in the world.

  • PewDiePie explains how “cancer YouTubers” are invading his channels – Dexerto

    PewDiePie explains how “cancer YouTubers” are invading his channels PewDiePie YouTubeYouTube’s biggest star Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg says his channel is being targeted by “cancer YouTubers” but he could have a solution to combat them! A bizarre trend is starting to crop up in the content creator’s comment section where fans are putting everything and anything in quote form, according to PewDiePie. While he believes it started during his trip to Japan, the meme format has spread to other corners of the internet. Now he’s seeing more YouTubers and content creators adopt the trend, affecting some of the bigger channels like Seán ‘Jacksepticeye’ McLoughlin. But to make matters worse, apparently some creators are spamming the meme on Pewd’s page to promote their channels! In his October 15 video titled ‘this needs to stop’, PewDieDie had a message for the YouTubers and their fans who seem to always spam variations of the meme on his comment section. “All those other cancer YouTubers that come out of nowhere,” The Swede joked, even though the trend started on his page, before continuing his lighthearted rant. “Because their annoying, dumb**s fan audience spams their f***ing s**t everywhere.” As the most famous YouTuber, it seems like PewDiePie has been taking the brunt of the “annoying” new meme which may lead him to take exception when he sees the spam. Noticing more people are joining in on the quote format jokes, the superstar might just be looking to fight fire with fire on this particular problem. (Timestamp at 0:34 for mobile viewers) “If you’re going to spam something annoying on other channels can you at least do it where people come back and watch my channel?” PewDiePie asked his viewers after noticing that the meme isn’t going to stop anytime soon. Even though he quipped that “these comments have to stop,” he might also be looking to get the most use out of the meme while it lasts. Kjellberg has been uploading as PewDiePie since 2010, and has since grown his channel to over 101 million subscribers with various tools to boost his reach. As annoying as this new trend might be, YouTube’s biggest star isn’t going to just let it take over his channel without getting something in return.

  • PewDiePie has hysterical reaction to employee sabotaging customer’s food – Dexerto

    PewDiePie has hysterical reaction to employee sabotaging customer’s food YouTube: PewDiePie / PixabayIn his latest video on September 28, YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg had a hilarious reaction to an insane story about an employee fired for doing unsavory things to a customer’s food order. PewDiePie took a break from his wildly popular Minecraft series, to react to submissions on the ‘Cursed Comments’ subreddit – a community which focuses on dark responses from people on social media. But one brutal comment in particular had the Swede in stitches, after he read the reply to a shocking story about an employee who was fired for doing horrible things to a customer’s food. PewDiePie’s reaction was hilarious The Swede stumbled upon an article with the headline ‘Tennessee Man accused of dipping testicles in customer’s salsa, before online delivery’. While the story was absurd enough, it was the comment about it on Twitter that had Pewds bursting with laughter. Stand up comedian Zack Fox replied to the news story saying “you a mega hoe if you can taste a hint of a ballsack in some mexican food”, which left the YouTube star laughing before he stated that he actually had a point. “To be fair, yes. That is impressive!” After conceding that the comment had some truth to it, the Swede shared a hysterical reaction as he re-enacted the incident by pretending to be eating the salsa and tasting that it was off. “Did someone dip their balls in this? Karen, come try this salsa!” he exclaimed, acting like the second person also trying the Mexican food. “Oh! What!? Someone dipped their balls. I taste it!” the YouTuber said in an Italian accent, pretending to dial the phone to the restaurant. “Hello. My salsa! My salsa taste like ballsack! Help! Help!” he laughed as he ended the skit. “I think that’s probably what happened. That’s just my theory.” (Timestamp of 4:43 for mobile viewers.) While PewDiePie’s Minecraft series is still killing it, netting millions of views on his daily uploads of the popular sandbox title, the Swede still dedicated a couple days a week to reaction content like his popular ‘Last Week I Asked You’ and Meme Reviews videos. On August 25, the Swede passed 100 million subscribers on his channel, cementing his status as the king of YouTube, as he’s the largest individual content creator on the video hosting platform. As of the time of this article, PewDiePie is at 101 million subscribers, and will soon pass 102, as his channel’s growth shows no signs of slowing down.

  • PewDiePie hits out at “unfunny” simp comments on Marzia’s Instagram – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hits out at “unfunny” simp comments on Marzia’s Instagram Instagram: @pewdiepiePopular YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg criticized viewers who flood his wife Marzia’s Instagram account every time he makes a comment on it to support her. The Swede hit out at the “simp” meme becoming overused. With over 108 millions subscribers to his channel in 2020, PewDiePie is not only one of the platform’s biggest creators, but undoubtedly one of the most popular entertainers in the world. The YouTuber has also become an icon when it comes to internet humor. In November, the star called out viewers overusing the popular “simp” meme every time he supports his wife Marzia, and explained why he’s tired of reading it. PewDiePie hits out at “simp” comments flooding Marzia’s Instagram While the modern use of “simp” goes back as far as the 1980s, the term has exploded in popularity in 2020, becoming one of the year’s biggest memes. However, during his November 27 upload, PewDiePie explained why it’s starting to become too much on Instagram. “Instagram is even worse. I commented on Marzia’s post, and I swear to God every single comment… She painted the kitchen and I said “you did so good” because I know she worked hard on it. And it’s just “simp, simp, simp king” every single comment. It is so unfunny. Jesus Christ, dude!” the YouTuber exclaimed. Read More: Greekgodx banned from Twitch for second time – The star then went on to mock the way memes become tired quickly due to users jumping on the bandwagon and spamming it relentlessly online in comments. “Maybe if everyone says a joke, it becomes funnier,” he said sarcastically. (Topic starts at 11:45) Hilariously, the star had a follow-up to the situation on November 30 when one fan pointed out that they actually had made a nice comment on Marzia’s Instagram post. “Me understanding that he just wants to be a good husband,” they wrote days prior. PewDiePie then apologized to the viewer. “I’m sorry tg_man 12. I did you dirty, I did you dirty,” he laughed. (Topic starts at 15:18) While the content creator has made several videos on the simp meme, he has been critical of how its been used in the past and mocked users for their broad use of it. Now it appears the joke is starting to overstay its welcome with how often it’s being repeated. The 31-year-old has had an incredible year so far, making a successful move to streaming after signing a major deal with YouTube in May to broadcast live exclusively on their platform. The entertainer also surpassed over 108 million subscribers in November, making him the most followed individual on the platform.

  • PewDiePie Hits Out at VICE Again For Slander and Weighs in on YouTube Subscription Box Debate – Dexerto

    PewDiePie Hits Out at VICE Again For Slander and Weighs in on YouTube Subscription Box Debate YouTuber Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg has hit out at website VICE once again in his latest video, and also gave his view on the latest YouTube controversy over subscription boxes. PewDiePie accused VICE of slander on May 25th, after the website and broadcasting company published an article entitled “PewDiePie is Teaching His Audience that Women Are Asking For It”. The article related to a video which PewDiePie had made responding to Twitch streamer Alinity, who had accused him of portraying a negative image of women to his audience calling her and other female streamers “Twitch thots”. More: YouTuber ‘Ice_Poseidon’ Threatens Legal Action After Video Surfaces of Him Making “Racist” Comments at a Restaurant – PewDiePie highlighted the very “promiscuous” content of Alinity’s stream, which VICE then presumed was the reason he felt criticism of Alinity was deserved. But, PewDiePie explained that the reason he was critical of Alinity was for her open admission of abusing copyright law in order to receive money from videos which used her content under fair use – not because of her sexually suggestive content. “This whole article is so painfully one sided. It’s offensive because it insinuates that somehow I said it’s ok to harass or sexually assault (or even worse) women, because of what they wear. I never said this. It’s funny to me how a website that claimed that they know how millennials think and what content they want can be so disconnected from their own audience.” I said [Alinity] deserves criticism for abusing copyright law – there is something very wrong with that and you should be allowed to be criticized. Yes, it’s the internet and there will be a small percentage of harassment, it’s unfortunate, and I never said anyone deserves that, that’s ridiculous.” PewDiePie also addressed the concerns which a number of YouTubers have expressed over the new subscription box algorithm, which now presents videos of subscribed channels to users in an order determined by YouTube itself, rather than chronologically. “That just seems like a terrible idea. YouTube has just changed so many things over the years that none of the creators wanted and none of the users seem to want either, but they always just move ahead with it anyway. And usually, it’s fine. But the subscription box has been the last bastion, the last stronghold of YouTube that hadn’t been altered and hasn’t been changed. It is so difficult to find videos from a certain person in the recommended tab, home tab, trending tab and all these things that no one really wants. And in a way they are kind of nice – but just don’t touch the subscription feed. I have to be honest though, a lot of times people get outraged with updates and they’re not really as bad as everyone thinks.” You can watch PewDiePie’s full video on VICE and YouTube’s subscription boxes below.

  • PewDiePie hits back at China over bizarre copyright filing following ban – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hits back at China over bizarre copyright filing following ban YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg called out China for a questionable copyright filing with his name, after the country banned his content on October 19. With over 101 million subscribers on YouTube, PewDiePie is without a doubt one of the biggest entertainers in the world, as his channel has a major reach globally. The Swede’s content mainly centers around his reactions and commentary to memes, as well as his Minecraft series which blew up in 2019, making the game popular again. However, the Swede announced that his content had been banned in China on October 19, after he reacted to a meme comparing the country’s leader to Winnie the Pooh. Now, the YouTube star is hitting back, revealing the country “stole” his brand in a bizarre copyright filing he discovered in 2017. 600PewDiePie calls out China A day after the YouTube star revealed that his content had been banned in China, the Swede posted on Twitter that the country had filed a copyright on his name in 2017 for a truly bizarre product, and said that he had not been able to fight it. “China took copyright of PewDiePie in 2017 without me being able to stop them anyway,” he tweeted, while also acknowledging a rather weird product also included in the filing. “They can’t sell any more PewDiePie wedding dresses now lol.” China took copyright of Pewdiepie in 2017 without me being able to stop them anyway, guess they can’t sell any more pewdiepie wedding dresses now lol pic.twitter.com/EkdWR63bYW — ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) October 20, 2019 The tweet included a picture of the copyright filing, and it was strangely used to take his brand and apply it to wedding dresses. The original file date was on August 2016, and was done in Shanghai China. The file also listed gloves as an accessory – who wouldn’t want PewDiePie themed wedding attire? While it states that the Swede had until October 2017 to object to it, his tweet indicated that he tried and was unable to put a stop to it. During his October 18 upload when revealed that his content had been banned, the Swede said, “I’m laughing, but yeah I’m sorry if you are in China, and try to watch my videos. That kind of sucks. It’s just kind of funny.” Still seeing humor in the situation, the YouTube king took another shot at China, by following up his previous tweeting with a link and promotion code to NordVPN – a virtual private network that allows users to bypass restrictions in their country to view banned content – and said “keep the internet open and free” alongside a devil emoji. Well now is a good time as ever to promote https://t.co/bboVTwm1y8 :point_left:keep the internet open and free from ban regulatios :smiling_imp:.

The YouTube star is still having the best year of his life, hitting the 100 million subscriber milestone on August 25, marrying his best friend Marzia ‘CutiePie’ Bisognin just a few days prior, and recently buying a house in Japan, which they announced on September 30.

  • PewDiePie hits out at company over KSI Meme Review copyright claim – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hits out at company over KSI Meme Review copyright claim YouTube: PewDiePiePopular YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg was stunned after a company copyright claimed his Meme Review with JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji. The Swede lost all the revenue for the upload due to their awful performance of “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic. [jwplayer mgzBNoPb] On November 22, PewDiePie teamed up with fellow YouTube star KSI for an epic Meme Review. The duo tackled everything from British culture to Olatunji’s boxing match with Logan Paul. Kjellberg later revealed on Instagram that the popular video had been copyright claimed by a company. The personality called the move “bulls**t” after the corporation took all the revenue over their Titanic joke. PewDiePie & KSI’s Meme Review copyright claimed PewDiePie’s Meme Review with KSI was a major hit on the platform, pulling in over 7.3 million views in just a few days. Fans of both YouTube creators were treated to a hilarious collaboration. However, the duo’s “attempt” to perform My Heart Will Go On on a flute and alpine horn caused the video to get claimed. Kjellberg revealed the issue on his Instagram story on November 25. “So I got a claim on my KSI video. At the end, we played My Heart Will Go On,” he said, before playing a clip of their awful performance to demonstrate how absurd the claim was. “It’s too similar!” he joked. It turns out the YouTuber had appealed the claim, but was denied. “So I appealed it, because its bulls**t why, and they rejected it! This is actually infringing on copyright according to this company!” he exclaimed, before breaking into laughter. The 31-year-old explained that the company was now going to get 100% of the money made off the popular upload. “So all the revenue now goes to this company for the entire video. Like, what? Yeah, I just thought it was bulls**t, I don’t even know.” The whole scenario is made all the more ridiculous when you consider that the Titanic joke was only a few seconds in a 26 minute upload. The fact that the company now gets to own the entire video is a good example how YouTube’s content ID system can sometimes be flawed.

  • PewDiePie hits back at claims that he makes more money than MrBeast on YouTube – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hits back at claims that he makes more money than MrBeast on YouTube YouTube: PewDiePie, MrBeastFelix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is undisputedly the king of YouTube, boasting the most subscribers out of any independent creator… so you’d think he’d be making the most money as an individual on the platform, right? Well, according to Kjellberg himself, this assumption is dead wrong, in spite of his impressive career on the site. Kjellberg has been making videos since 2010, and was one of the first creators to rise to mainstream prominence via YouTube with his horror game playthroughs. Since then, he’s managed to amass a whopping 110 million subscribers (in part due to his rivalry with Indian media label T-Series) and an extremely dedicated fanbase… but he’s not making as much as someone with less subscribers, it seems. Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is one of the hottest names on YouTube, and for good reason; his videos almost always top YouTube’s trending page due to their over-the-top nature, from his insane challenges with million dollar prizes to major cash giveaways and charitable work to help people in need. His bombastic (and highly expensive) content has earned him a combined following nearing 100 million subscribers across his multiple channels, and according to PewDiePie, should make more than he does in ad revenue. PewDiePie said as much while reacting to a video dissecting YouTube’s “richest” content creators, which pinned MrBeasts’ adsense revenue at about $13.8 million. The same video estimated PewDiePie’s adsense earnings as $12.2 million — something he vehemently denied. “Get the f**k outta here!” an incredulous Kjellberg joked. “More than MrBeast, almost? No f**king way! Bruh, no. My adsense is so f**ked. Realistically, my adsense is less than half [of that amount], probably.” (Topic begins at 9:03) MrBeast recently opened up about his own earnings during an episode of Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, where he admitted that, on paper, he was the “poorest person in the room” in spite of the big bucks he shows off in his content. He also revealed that he spends about $4 million monthly on his videos — a huge budget for content that, on average, rakes in over half a million views. While it’s unclear exactly how much each YouTuber makes, it’s clear that fans can only guesstimate their earnings… and it’s likely that they aren’t making as much as we actually think.

  • PewDiePie hits back at Dhar Mann over criticism drama: “Have some balls” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hits back at Dhar Mann over criticism drama: “Have some balls” YouTube: PewDiePie / Dhar MannFelix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg reacted to Dhar Mann’s video about online hate that featured him. The Swedish star explained why he thinks the 37-year-old entrepreneur needs to learn how to take criticism. Back in June, YouTuber Dhar Mann criticized PewDiePie for mocking one of his self-help videos. While Kjellberg defended his comments at the time as being taken out of context, the 31-year-old had more to say during his September 1 2021 upload. After reacting to the entrepreneur’s video on online hate comments, he revealed that he felt “bad” that his jokes were taken seriously. However, Pewds said that the content creator needs to learn how to take criticism. PewDiePie explains why Dhar Mann needs to learn how to take criticism Pewds reacted to the 37-year-old’s video for his latest upload. After seeing how serious the content creator took his jokes, Kjellberg exclaimed, “We didn’t say anything about Dhar Mann himself. We criticized the video. And I think it was fair criticism. Now I actually feel bad.” Although he felt terrible about how his comments were taken, he had his own criticism for the fellow YouTuber. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. You gotta be able to deal with some comments. And you know what, I’ve also had to deal with a lot of hate comments. You gotta have some balls man.” Kjellberg then elaborated further and said, “If you get criticism, it can help build character. It helped me grow a lot of confidence. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. Obviously commenting on somebody else’s appearance, that is just bullying and stupid. But criticism on your videos can actually be helpful.” (Topic starts at 31:10) When his friend CinnamonToastKen asked if PewDiePie thought he couldn’t take criticism, the Swede responded, “From this reaction, I kind of, yeah. The whole goal that views are the only thing that matters, yeah. I kind of have a problem with that way of looking at things. But then again, that’s his opinion. He’s right to have that.” Kjellberg also clarified again that they were not making fun of the entrepreneur himself. “People are making fun of the video. Not the people in the video. We know they are just actors and kids. Kind of lame, dude. Other than that, I don’t really care.” Despite his own criticism towards Dhar Mann, he reiterated he has nothing against him. “He’s free to do what he wants. I got nothing against him. I think it’s cool that he’s trying to do positive videos,” the popular YouTuber explained. And of course, it should be pointed out that PewDiePie has a comedic style that is often sarcastic.

  • PewDiePie hits another major subscriber milestone as T-Series lose ground – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hits another major subscriber milestone as T-Series lose ground YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is still locked in his fierce war against Bollywood label T-Series, but he may have some room to breathe after hitting yet another milestone before his rivals. PewDiePie has held the top spot on YouTube for a number of years, but T-Series came out of nowhere in 2018 looking to steal his crown away. The Indian production company has pushed the Swede all the way, but Pewds continues to stay ahead – fending off a number of close pushes. The Swede initially admitted that he didn’t care all that much about the subscriber war but has pulled out a few tricks, including a diss track and live streaming games such as Fortnite and Roblox, to boost his already massive subscriber count. Now, he has hit another major milestone – leaving T-Series behind. Since recieving some recent help from Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Justin Roiland of ‘Ricky and Morty’ fame, Pewds has taken back a strong position in the war with T-Series. Since Musk and Roiland’s Meme Review appearance on February 22, Pewds has crossed the 87 million subscribers mark. His subscriber lead has also grown to over 115,000 – after the battle had reached its lowest point only a few days prior, with T-Series coming within nine thousand subscribers of taking the crown. T-Series had originally been projected to surpass the Swede in early January, but that has yet to happen – with the YouTube king continuing to fend off any attempts of a defeat, no matter how dire the situation looks. How long PewDiePie is able to remain on top of the YouTube mountain remains to be seen – but it appears that he’ll have a bit of breathing space for now if he wants to celebrate his 87 million subscribers milestone.

  • PewDiePie hits back at accusations that he promoted a “scam” to fans – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hits back at accusations that he promoted a “scam” to fans PewDiePie, YouTube / NimsesYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is no stranger to scandal, following the controversial ‘Subscribe to PewDiePie’ meme amid his now-defunct battle with T-Series: but this time, the Swede is coming under fire for a completely different reason. Kjellberg addressed concerns over a mobile app that he’d advertised in an episode of ‘Pew News’ on June 7, which introduces a markedly revolutionary concept of turning a user’s time spent in the app into cryptocurrency. The application, named ‘Nimses,’ is an “insane concept“ to PewDiePie – but critics are finding the program a bit skeevy, and voiced their concerns on the Swede’s subreddit. [Ad plays at beginning of video below.] PewDiePie came across these concerns during an episode of ‘LWIAY’ on June 9, where he fought back against claims that Nimses records user data outside of the app. “This is just demonstrably false,” Kjellberg argued. “Apps can’t do that, if you uninstall it. It’s already spreading misinformation, just in the title. Literally every single social media tracks what Nimses does. It’s a social media app.” [Timestamp: 8:08 for mobile users] The YouTube king went on to berate his overly protective fans, who he felt were digging up “false information” in an attempt to clear up the situation – which ultimately made it seem like he was advertising a malicious program. “Everyone seems so protective of me,” PewDiePie continued. “My fans are like, ‘Oh, we need to protect him from the media stuff,’ but then you’re spreading misinformation to make it look like I’m promoting a scam. Obviously, that makes it look way worse.” https://nimses.com/en/about/However, PewDiePie’s fanbase aren’t the only netizens skeptical of the program: tech news site ‘Kaspersky’ claims that the Ukrainian-developed app “isn’t safe so far,” noting that to earn more money in the program, users must give away their privacy piece by piece, uploading a profile picture and personal information to become “visible” to other users. Kaspersky likewise claims that location tracking services must be enabled for Nimses to work – meaning that users must be willing to have their location tracked if they want to take part in the social media experiment. While the app has since fixed a number of the issues raised in Kaspersky’s article, there is still an unsettling aura of unease around Nimses – a scandal that follows similar accusations surrounding PewDiePie’s involvement with livestreaming platform DLive in April.

  • PewDiePie becomes first YouTuber to hit 110m subscribers – Dexerto

    PewDiePie becomes first YouTuber to hit 110m subscribers YouTube: PewDiePieFelix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has officially become the first-ever individual creator on YouTube to surpass 110 million subscribers on the platform. When you think of YouTube there’s usually only one creator who comes to mind as the face of the platform and that’s PewdiePie. The video-making star has more subscribers than any other individual creator and his channel growth doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Now, the YouTube giant has reached yet another milestone on the platform, and once again, he’s the first one to achieve it. PewDiePie hits 110 million subscribers On April 29, PewDiePie officially hit 110 million subscribers on YouTube and reached another unbelievable milestone. Although 110 million subs certainly isn’t as significant as 100, it remains an incredible achievement. It’s hard to believe the number of subscribers PewDiePie has gained over the last three years. Just before the T-Series race began, Felix was sitting at just over 60 million subs in total. Despite losing the race, his subscriber count has nearly doubled and continues to rise. Now he’s reached this number, it does beg the question, when will PewDiePie’s channel growth taper off? Although he’s certainly not gaining as many subs as he once was during the T-Series race, his sub count continues to grow by over a million each month. No doubt the 120 million subscriber milestone isn’t too far away and like now, fans will be ready to celebrate the achievement with him. Although T-Series will definitely hit 200 million subscribers before Felix, for an individual creator, PewDiePie’s channel growth is nothing short of remarkable. Hopefully, YouTube has made an award for Felix for this massive achievement. Upon hitting 100 million subs they presented him with an exclusive Red Diamond Creator Award, so who knows what they’ll have planned for 110. There’s no denying when it comes to subscribers, PewDiePie is still the king of YouTube, and by the looks of it, no one will take his crown anytime soon.

  • PewDiePie hilariously responds to tightening race against T-Series – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hilariously responds to tightening race against T-Series PewDiePieThe battle for the most subscribed channel on YouTube is taking a dark turn for PewDiePie’s cause, and the broadcaster responded to the narrowing race in regular form. PewDiePie and Indian music label T-Series have been neck and neck for months, but the Pewds has been steadily losing his lead as fans are starting to experience growing anxiety of the coming take over. In another entry to Last Week I Asked You (LWIAY), PewDiePie received numerous entries from his fans who are suggesting that the war against T-Series has been lost, which prompted hilarious reactions from the Swede. After a fan had made a strikingly intricate parody for the lost cause, Pewds ran through a range of emotions from crushed to hopeful and motivated. “You know, I’ll pretty much take the help from anyone at this point. I mean I got the help from Logan Paul, I think it’s safe to say that I’m pretty desperate,” PewDiePie said. PewDiePie is in full lounge mode as he openly admits he is “all out of trap cards,” in a scene that is equal parts entertaining and depressing. “And I want to be fully clear, I have no other plans, okay,” PewDiePie said. “I got nothing. T-Series is around the corner and I got nothing. Do something!” The YouTuber pleaded to anyone listening who can help to help him get to his new goal of 100,000,000 (hundred million) subscribers.

  • PewDiePie hilariously responds to Elon Musk’s meme review demand – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hilariously responds to Elon Musk’s meme review demand YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is no stranger to receiving random requests from various celebrities, but a demand from Elon Musk to host ‘Meme Review’ surely took the cake. PewDiePie’s popular ‘Meme Review’ segment has seen its fair share of guests in the past, but none quite like Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk. When Musk posted a hilarious Tweet on January 27 demanding to host ‘Meme Review’ with PewDiePie, he quite literally set the internet aflame. Unsurprisingly, the Tweet went viral and PewDiePie seemed to appreciate all the help and attention he could get in the midst of his battle with T-Series. Bringing up the issue at the start of his January 29 video, PewDiePie looked to initially be confused about what sort of weapon Musk was wielding in the Tweet. “Last night before I went to sleep, the absolute mad lad, Elon Musk, posted a Tweet,” PewDiePie said through fits of laughter. “Is that a gatling gun? What is that??” (Timestamp of 0:52 for mobile viewers) Regardless of what Musk was wielding, PewDiePie was nonetheless happy to receive the support and issued a new call to action for his 83 million subscribers on YouTube. “See what I’m talking about? We’re not handing out posters anymore. We’re going to war,” declared PewDiePie. “We have Elon Musk on our side.” While there’s no word on whether Musk will actually show up on ‘Meme Review” anytime soon, it certainly wouldn’t be outside the realm possibility given that PewDiePie managed to get Ben Shapiro on the show back in November. PewDiePie could surely use the help, too, since T-Series is still steadily gaining on him, only trailing by just over 200,000 subscribers at the time of writing.

    PewDiePie has hilarious reaction to Indian citizens’ thoughts on war with T-Series PewDiePie, YouTube / Asian Boss, YouTube / T-SeriesYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg’s race with Bollywood label T-Series continues to escalate – and fans all over the globe have an opinion on the matter. PewDiePie uploaded a video on March 9 reacting to Indian citizens’ take on his war against T-Series, courtesy of popular YouTube channel Asian Boss. In the video, multiple citizens across the young adult age group were asked about their stance on the issue, with some advocating for PewDiePie while others defended T-Series. One woman took issue with PewDiePie’s ‘Bitch Lasagna’ song, appearing to take humored offense to the insult.

I’m sorry, come back to me, I’m sorry for calling you a bitch lasagna!” A young boy participating in the video even explained that T-Series’ sudden boom was a result of India going online due to cheap Wi-Fi prices, thanks to mobile network provider Jio – which PewDiePie was ultimately happy about. “So basically, India is getting internet,” PewDiePie said of the development. “Which is a good thing. I wouldn’t joke like, ‘Ugh, that’s so bad!’” https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/India-telecom-operators-set-to-report-another-bleak-quarter-as-Jio-onslaught-continuesPewDiePie had a surprising amount of supporters throughout the video, with more than a few citizens advocating for his win over the label – although others were passionately standing behind T-Series and its massive archive of Hindi music. The war between the two channels is still going strong, thanks to PewDiePie’s faithful fanbase and Jio’s mission to take India online. While T-Series is ultimately projected to surpass the YouTuber, the sub gap continues to fluctuate – but for how long, fans have yet to find out.

  • PewDiePie hilariously struggles to get past Jump King’s easiest section – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hilariously struggles to get past Jump King’s easiest section With Jump King being the craze online right now, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg tried his hand at the game, only to hilariously struggle to even complete the first section. Every Twitch streamer and YouTube content creator has tried their hand at the latest Jump King DLC. The frustrating 2D platformer challenges players to climb to the top of the castle to get to the “smoking hot babe at the top,” with big consequences for a single misstep. Having watched a few people before him try it out and fail spectacularly, PewDiePie was ready to show them how it’s done. He looked confident starting out his playthrough of the Jump King DLC, even having a cheeky dig at others before him who struggled for days on end. “Streamers are actual manchildren who are not good at games even though they play it every single day,” he said. “It’s all about trajectories — I know that’s hard for people to understand simple math and trigonometry. However, for me, it comes quite naturally.” However, the seasoned gamer was no match for the challenging ascent, venting his anger as he struggled to even get past the easiest section of the game. Read more: xQc breaks down after completing Jump King – He found himself falling back down to the start more often than he found himself climbing, with the YouTube star slowly turning insane. While he managed to get into the Colossal Drain by the end of the video, he still found himself sliding back down into the forest. It was the epitome of “one step forward, two steps back,” and every fall turned PewDiePie just that little bit angrier. “You think I’m angry, I’ve never been angry in my life,” he said before, unleashing on the tree he kept falling off. “F**k off you piece of sh*t, I hope you die.” The YouTuber made some progress past the first section, although his struggles early on were amusing for all of his fans. He completely underestimated the difficulty of the platformer, and paid the ultimate price. While he’s only a short way there, he’s got something to look forward to at the top — the satisfaction of completing one of the toughest games out there. Streamers before him have reacted in various ways to finishing Jump King and meeting the love of their life. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel’s looked relieved rather than excited to reach the top after after a week of heart-breaking falls, while Matthew ‘Mizkif’ Rinaudo had the complete opposite reaction. The Twitch streamer popped out of his chair after taking 29 hours to complete the Nexile platformer, although he looked mentally drained after the experience. If PewDiePie ever gets to the end of the platformer, he might have the same reaction as Mizkif, or wallow in his sorrows like xQc. However, he will need to get a bit further than the first couple of levels if he wants to ever meet his smoking hot babe at the top.

  • PewDiePie reveals his hilarious “final weapon” in YouTube battle with T-Series – Dexerto

    PewDiePie reveals his hilarious “final weapon” in YouTube battle with T-Series PewDiePie / T-SeriesYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg unveiled what he’s calling his “final weapon” against Indian music label T-Series during his latest entry of Meme Review. PewDiePie has had a long and arduous battle against the rival company for the title of Most Subscribed Channel, which saw him being overtaken if not for a brief moment. Now after insane guest appearances and epic stunts by fellow YouTubers, PewDiePie has brought out a new weapon and is ready to give T-Series a serious lashing. His recent meme segment covered an image of Mr Incredible with his tongue hanging out, which prompted the King of YouTube to take out his in hilarious fashion. “Gfuel Powder: exists, PewDiePie…,” he said. “This is my last and final weapon against T-Series. I didn’t want to reveal my power this early in the game: I have a really large tongue. Watch carefully T-Series.” (Timestamp at 5:06 for mobile viewers) Though his skit was a bit tongue-and-cheek, the meme was spot on as PewDiePie really does have a rather large tongue. After the incredible reveal, he double-downed on his attack against the music company, who has been routinely threatening the Swedish content creator’s sub mark. “Are you seeing this T-Series,” PewDiePie said. “That’s right T-Series, I think I proved my point here today. I expect you to run and never look back. Never come back. You’re banished from these lands T-Series.” As the race to 100 million subs gets underway, PewDiePie will need all the tools he can get to stay above his competition since it draws ever closer by the day.

  • PewDiePie shares hilarious reaction to Chuck E. Cheese scandal uncovered by Shane Dawson’s ‘Conspiracy Series’ – Dexerto

    PewDiePie shares hilarious reaction to Chuck E. Cheese scandal uncovered by Shane Dawson’s ‘Conspiracy Series’ Popular YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg gave his hysterical take on Shane Dawson’s viral Chuck E. Cheese’s theory on reused pizza slices during a segment of Pew News. PewDiePie’s February 18 entry to PewNews took a look at the recent outbursts toward the popular restaurant chain, but the Pewd’s take wasn’t so quick to defame Chuck E. Cheese’s name. The YouTuber took a look at Chuck E. Cheese’s official statement after the conspiracy theory spread like fire saying there was “no conspiracy conspiracies here” and that the claims were “unequivocally false.” The Pewds immediately pointed out the hilarious irony of the statement, which sounded a lot like what someone who was trying to hide a conspiracy would say. But upon a further review of the evidence, PewDiePie said that the most plausible explanation for the oblong shape of Chuck E. Cheese’s pizzas were, in part, due to the custom orders the restaurant constantly receives. (Timestamp at 14:57 for mobile viewers) “Most likely what they do is they cook a lot of pizzas, and based on what people order half of something, which seems pretty common, they just distribute the pizza slices accordingly,” PewDiePie said. Read more: Summit1g hilariously forgets to end his stream “It could have been worse dude, I could have been getting naked” – PewDiePie went on to surmise that the theory doesn’t add up, as it might not be the company’s best interest to irreversibly damage their brand just to save a few pizza slices per pie. Although the Pewds doesn’t believe the hype around the reused slices of pie, the theory is something he could “actually get behind” since it’s a good laugh.

  • PewDiePie has mercy on Digimon card giveaway cheaters after exposing them – Dexerto

    PewDiePie has mercy on Digimon card giveaway cheaters after exposing them YouTube: PewDiePieFelix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg decided to show mercy to an accidental giveaway cheater after the creator opened up a form for fans to win Digimon cards. Felix has maintained his position as one of the top YouTubers on the platform for many years. Since the Pokemon-Esque release of Digimon branded trading cards, he’s started opening giveaways during his stream so fans can win signed cards from the creator. Despite PewDiePie having stated only one entry per person, some entered their name on the provided Google form multiple times in hopes of multiplying their chances of winning cards from the Swedish creator. PewDiePie gives away Digimon cards During his October 14 card opening stream, Pewds mentioned that he was going to open a giveaway so fans could win a signed card from him. Before starting, he mentioned: “I will be checking to see if you entered your name multiple times, you will be disqualified.” After his first successful drawing with the random number generator, the creator pulled his second number to find that the winner had his name on the list twice. He said, “Jayden you cheated… you added your number twice, I have to disqualify you.” Laughing at the fact he caught his first cheater, Felix went on to pick his next two card winners. The next one went well, but then he was met with another cheater who entered their name six total times. At this point, Kjellberg realized that his chat was blowing up with messages about Jayden: “He messed up the address,” they said. He went back to check the form entry and saw that the fan did, in fact, fix an error on their address when they filled the form out again. Fortunately for Jayden, Pewds decided to go ahead and let the fan win a signed card. However, it seemed other people who took advantage of the form weren’t as lucky. Perhaps next time, the creator will find a way to deter cheaters in his next giveaway.

    PewDiePie hits new goal of 69696969 million subscribers UPDATE (November 7, 2018, 7:45pm ET) Just over a day after setting out on his new goal of hitting 69696969 million subscribers on YouTube, PewDiePie has officially crossed over the milestone. Who better to celebrate the occasion than MrBeast, the man who bought billboards all over his home city to campaign for PewDiePie. :lovestruck::lovestruck::lovestruck::lovestruck: pic.twitter.com/Uq4aA6jvS9 — MrBeast (@MrBeastYT) November 8, 2018 There’s no word yet on what PewDiePie’s next goal will be, but given his track record, we can expect it to be a great one. Now that Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has managed to be the first YouTuber to reach 69 million subscribers, he has his sights set on bigger and better things. Over the last few weeks, PewDiePie has been locked in a heated battle for subscribers with Indian music label T-Series, with many predicting that he’d lose out on the top spot before long. Against all odds, though, PewDiePie has held onto his spot, but he hasn’t stopped his campaign, instead shifting gears to a new magic number. “I realized I made a huge mistake,” PewDiePie says at the beginning of his newest YouTube video. “Getting 69 million subscribers isn’t the most important number to hit.” While initially, you might think that he’s referring to the next major milestone of 70 million, PewDiePie quickly pivots and reveals his next master plan. “That’s right. I’m talking about 69696969 subscribers AND a collab with Tekashi69,” PewDiePie tells his viewers. With his new goal in mind, PewDiePie then runs through some of the hilarious ways that his fans have fought to keep him on top. Perhaps the most inventive of all was one fan who covered three kilometers worth of trees in Bangladesh with signs saying “Smash subscribe for PewDiePie.” At this point, PewDiePie thanked the fan for “working from the inside,” as he thought that Bangladesh was in India rather than being its own country that happens to border India. PewDiePie didn’t realize his mistake until after recording the video, throwing up a slide during the segment admitting that his “geography is non-existent.” Ben Shapiro actually reviewed memes for PewDiePie’s YouTube showYou can keep track of the live subscriber counts for both PewDiePie and T-Series at our official hub.

  • PewDiePie has hilarious reaction to a YouTuber promoting his channel in India – Dexerto

    PewDiePie has hilarious reaction to a YouTuber promoting his channel in India YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is currently in a close race with Bollywood label T-Series for the most subscribers on the platform – but one fan may have turned the tides of war. Indian YouTuber ‘Saiman’ went on a major advertising spree throughout the country, buying multiple billboards, creating flyers, and even wearing a T-shirt featuring PewDiePie’s face in an effort to persuade users to subscribe to his channel. PewDiePie appeared to be in awe of Saiman’s efforts, tweeting out a video of his campaign with the simple caption, “Holy shit lol.” The video in question marks a sharp turn from Saiman’s previous advertisement spree in T-Series’ favor, where he adamantly promoted the label in the face of YouTube’s biggest independent creator. However, it seems that Saiman has had a change of heart, as he humorously referenced PewDiePie’s previous offer to ‘double’ whatever T-Series was allegedly paying him for his advertisements in the beginning of his video. “Sorry, PewDiePie, for the last two videos,” he said. “…right now, I support PewDiePie wholeheartedly!” This video follows PewDiePie’s apparent confusion between India and Bangladesh, which he made in his video calling for 69696969 subscribers. This earned him ample backlash, which he addressed in another meme review episode on November 13. “I know it’s a country!” PewDiePie said through a laugh. “Come on.” PewDiePie recently surpassed a whopping total of 70 million subscribers on November 10, and is still in the lead, despite T-Series’ constant surge of subscribers and projected victory in early 2019.

PewDiePie Tweeted out this theory on November 21, humorously speculating that the rapper would rather go to jail than host an episode of his ‘Meme Review’ show. “Did [6ix9ine] just put himself in prison to avoid a Meme Review collab?” PewDiePie wrote. “Smh 😭” did 6-9 just put himself in prison to avoid meme review collab? smh :sob: — ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) November 21, 2018 PewDiePie asked Tekashi to host the show in an episode of Meme Review on November 7, should he reach his goal of 69,696,969 million subscribers. While he has since met his goal (now sitting at over 71 million subs), Tekashi has yet to respond – likely because the rapper is now in the general population of the Metropolitan Detention Center of Brooklyn. Tekashi faces 32 years up to life in prison for six federal charges of gang-related offenses, including racketeering and armed robbery – just a month after he managed to avoid charges of sexual misconduct with an underage girl. prosecutor Michael Longyear claimed that the rapper was a major target before being taken into custody, stating that his crew wanted to “super violate” him (here meaning to harm, shoot, or even kill). Tekashi was taken in after a planned trip to a Connecticut casino, where Longyear feared for an attempt on the rapper’s life that could have placed bystanders in danger.

  • PewDiePie Has a Theory About Why Logan Paul Quit Daily Vlogging – Dexerto

    PewDiePie Has a Theory About Why Logan Paul Quit Daily Vlogging (L) Logan Paul (R) PewDiePieThe world’s most subscribed YouTuber, PewDiePie, has a theory about why Logan Paul announced he’ll be no longer making daily vlogs. Swedish born but living in the England, PewDiePie has developed his channel’s content over the years from playing game walkthroughs to reactionary commentary on the on-goings of the internet. Amassing over 62 million subscribers on YouTube, he has almost double the following of any other channel, with Justin Bieber’s Vevo channel following behind with 34 million. Despite making his entire fortune on YouTube, he’s a huge critic of the platform and continually hits out at their bad practices, especially when it comes to ad revenue and dealing with feedback they receive. During a news roundup published on Wednesday May 3rd, PewDiePie discussed the decision by Logan Paul to stop daily vlogging. Logan Paul is a controversial figure in the YouTube world and hit headlines in January 2018 after filming and uploading footage containing the body of a man who had committed suicide in a Japanese forest. With over 17 million subscribers he had his own huge fanbase, but he announced at the start of May that he’d be taking a step back from daily vlogging to focus on other projects. He gave a fairly convoluted explanation about why he was doing it, but PewDiePie hasn’t bought the line, and gave his own response to the situation which amounts to reduced revenue on YouTube. “Wait a minute, are you telling me someone that is making less ad revenue than ever, and probably selling less merch than ever, decided to go on another path of earning revenue? I don’t understand it, I don’t understand it at all.” He continued to explain his own ad revenue problem, once again hitting out at YouTube. “Honestly, legit, I am making more on selling these hats this month than I’m making on ad revenue, despite uploading daily content. Do you understand how bad ad revenue is? I might as well not call myself a YouTuber, I’m a hat merch, I’m a hat salesman at this point. That is my profession. I really want to thank YouTube for having such a great way of monetizing on their platform. It’s wonderful. I am so thankful.” You can view the clip below at the 5 minute 30 second mark, in a video where he also discusses other internet topics from the week.

  • PewDiePie has already smashed another huge YouTube milestone – Dexerto

    PewDiePie has already smashed another huge YouTube milestone PewDiePie / InstagramYouTube king Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg has sensationally broken yet another milestone on the content sharing platform, despite being on vacation the entire time since his last landmark. The popular internet personality quietly tied the knot with fiance Marzia Bisognin in August and has been hardly active ever since, only chiming in with a vlog or two on his YouTube channel while enjoying his honeymoon in Bali. During that time, however, PewDiePie has gone one better than being the only person to build a YouTube channel with over 100 million subscribers, after quickly hiking up to 101 million. The jump in subscribers has taken PewDiePie less than a month. In fact, in the last 30 days, from August 10 to September 8, he has gained over 2 million subscribers. Unfortunately, though, he’s now fallen off the tail of rival channel T-Series – who have 111,000,000 subscribers at the time of writing. T-Series’ growth has been even more impressive but considering it’s a full-blown production company vs PewDiePie and his one editor, it’s not exactly a fair fight. The YouTuber sparked what has been an incredible resurgence of players going back to Minecraft after leading the way with his very own in-game series. His collection of videos have continually gone viral, whether it be building up an army of pigs, snowmen, or even tackling the Ender Dragon in an epic encounter, he’s created must-see content on a consistent basis and is reaping the rewards. Fans of the Swede will be wondering whether or not he will continue the Minecraft journey when he returns to creating YouTube videos, following the honeymoon, but he seems to be doing just fine even when he’s not uploading.

  • PewDiePie hackers might permanently lock users’ files if T-Series wins – Dexerto

    PewDiePie hackers might permanently lock users’ files if T-Series wins PewDiePie, YouTube / PYMNTS.com / T-SeriesYouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has seen support from across the globe in his ongoing battle against Bollywood label T-Series – most notably, from hackers. While a few pro-PewDiePie hackers have infiltrated printers, Smart TVs, and even Chromecasts in an attempt to boost his subscriber count, more recent offenders may be taking the race too far. According to investigative reports from ZDNet and Tubefilter, two separate hackers have created ransomware that secretly lock users’ files until they subscribe to PewDiePie’s channel. One of the viruses, simply named ‘PewDiePie Ransomware,’ does not contain “crucial encryption keys” – meaning that even the program’s creator would be unable to unlock users’ files, should their computer become infected. While this initial virus began spreading in December 2018, another ransomware program has taken hold more recently in March 2019. “”PewDiePie”” ransomware sample: https://t.co/enxLkVXQJp It’s ShellLocker.

While ‘PewCrypt’ contains an encryption key and is fully reversible, there is an unfortunate catch; should T-Series reach the 100 million milestone before PewDiePie, the program will delete the key, thus locking users’ information for good.

PewDiePie’s race with T-Series continues to grow more and more intense, after the label surpassed Kjellberg a number of times in late March. Despite this development, PewDiePie continues to hold his top spot on YouTube, thanks to his dedicated fanbase – including the hackers.

  • PewDiePie unbanned from Twitch after mysterious ban without even streaming – Dexerto

    PewDiePie unbanned from Twitch after mysterious ban without even streaming YouTube: PewDiePieMega-popular YouTube star PewDiePie was slapped with a mysterious Twitch account ban despite not even broadcasting live on the platform. The ban has no been lifted, with PewDiePie’s account now back in action. PewDiePie’s Twitch account was banned on the Amazon-owned streaming platform on May 8. The exact reason for the ban was not confirmed. Primarily known for his pre-recorded content on YouTube, as one of the biggest influencers on the site to this day, PewDiePie isn’t exactly thought of as a Twitch streamer first and foremost. In fact, the Swedish star turned Japan-local seemingly hasn’t directly appeared live on Twitch in quite some time. At least, not in an official capacity. Following a surprise reemergence of his Twitch account a few weeks ago on March 21, many believed his account was actually hacked. From replaying old videos to bizarrely streaming full episodes of Trailer Park Boys – a Canadian comedy series, there was no actual ‘live’ content in that broadcast featuring Pewds himself. Naturally, many assumed the worst, however, it was soon revealed that CoPilotMedia took over the channel and turned it into an endless rebroadcast cycling through old content. With PewDiePie far more focused on YouTube content, and with his first child on the way, Twitch streaming is likely not his biggest priority anyway. The channel does have over 1.5 million followers. Since the ban has been lifted, PewDiePie has not yet gone live with the rerun content though. Throughout the ban and now unban, PewDiePie has not addressed the matter. The ban lasted three days in total.

  • PewDiePie goes viral with insane body transformation update – Dexerto

    PewDiePie goes viral with insane body transformation update Instagram: PewDiePieFelix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg completely bowled over his fans in May after he revealed how his body had changed since he started getting into shape. Four months on, the YouTuber has blessed us with another update, which is even more shocking than the last. On Wednesday the Swedish YouTuber posted an image of his shredded physique, bathed in golden light, on Instagram saying “Last day of no simp September boys.” The post has racked up a whopping 2 million likes in less than three hours. Over the last decade, PewDiePie has become the face of online entertainment for many viewers. The content creator went from his humble roots playing games in 2010 to amassing over 107 million subscribers to his channel in 2020. The scrawny gamer that fans were accustomed to has now disappeared. In May, PewDiePie’s wife Marzia posted an image of him standing topless halfway up a ladder, posing with thumbs up and a much more muscular torso than fans had previously seen. Amid the uproar, PewDiePie told his subscribers all about how he achieved his new body, explaining that he quit soda, alcohol and ate lots more protein. Fans of the content creator were also quick to create hilarious memes. Users jokingly compared his look to popular anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and credited his abs as a result of his “Floor Gang” philosophy. This time the creator posted to his own Instagram, sans a dorky thumbs up, displaying a herculean upper body with ripped abs and arms. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFwhU22Arz_/ It’s safe to say, people are in awe of such a transformation, with one commenter saying “Remember that gamer you used to bully back in high school, this is him now.” Another person wrote “FLEX OR FELIX?” Other content creators leaped to respond: YouTuber Dolan Dark wrote “I’m gay now,” Jacksepticeye added “Bruh!!” and Gamer Sssniperwolf wrote, “this is a simp free zone.” Who said gamers can’t get ripped too?

  • PewDiePie gushes over Keanu Reeves’ E3 appearance, teases Meme Review collab – Dexerto

    PewDiePie gushes over Keanu Reeves’ E3 appearance, teases Meme Review collab PewDiePie, YouTube / Microsoft, TwitchHollywood star, action hero, and beloved celebrity Keanu Reeves made an appearance at E3 2019 to announce his role in the upcoming ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ video game – a development that YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg found “breathtaking.” Keanu’s on-stage stint for the title provided a slew of meme-worthy moments, thanks to his appearance in the game’s trailer and an audience member heckling him on stage. This wholesome heckling moment saw Keanu return the favor, calling the heckler (and the audience at large) “breathtaking” – an encounter that has since turned into a widespread meme, which PewDiePie rated 10/10. PewDiePie discussed Keanu’s E3 presentation during an episode of his ‘Meme Review’ show on June 14, admitting that he harbors a deep love for Reeves’ films and noting that he has the “perfect response” to every question. “Keanu Reeves’ demise will be his virtue,” Kjellberg jokingly said of the actor. “…the day Keanu Reeves gets outed for [being] a bad person is the day the world is over. ‘Cause I don’t want to live in it anymore.” This episode of Meme Review might have teased a potential collaboration, as well; PewDiePie reacted to a meme that petitioned for Keanu’s appearance on the show, with the YouTube king appearing to heartily agree with the idea. Keanu’s potential appearance on the show wouldn’t be the first time a celebrity has been a Meme Review host, by far; Tesla CEO and tech millionaire Elon Musk hosted the show in late February, in an attempt to thwart T-Series’ impending status as YouTube’s most subscribed channel. [Timestamp: 13:27 for mobile viewers.] Keanu wasn’t the only celebrity in attendance at E3, either; comedian and actor Jack Black likewise made an appearance at the event, as well as Elon Musk, who showcased a special game for Tesla cars using the vehicles’ steering wheels. Reeves’ involvement with Cyberpunk 2077 marks yet another celebrity cameo in upcoming video games, with the likes of Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelesen showing up in Hideo Kojima’s mysterious Death Stranding title. While Death Stranding is slated for a November 2019 release date, fans won’t get to see Cyberpunk 2077 – nor Keanu Reeves’ performance in the game – until April 16, 2020.

  • PewDiePie gives verdict on Ludwig & Valkyrae streaming on YouTube – Dexerto

    PewDiePie gives verdict on Ludwig & Valkyrae streaming on YouTube Instagram: Valkyrae, 100 Thieves, ludwigahgren / YouTube: PewDiePiePopular streamer Ludwig Ahgren notably signed an exclusive streaming deal with YouTube Gaming last week, marking the latest in a slew of broadcasters jumping ship from Twitch… and PewDiePie is here for the change. Twitch is losing a good chunk of its top talent as more and more of its most recognizable streamers opt for exclusive broadcasting contracts with YouTube. Some of the bigger names to make the switch have been social media stars like TimTheTatMan, Dr Lupo, Lazarbeam, CouRage, and Valkyrae, who notably signed with the platform in early 2020. On November 29, Ludwig joined in on the trend and made the jump, sparking conversation across the net as to what this could mean for the future of Twitch (prompting other top influencers to speculate that Twitch simply “wouldn’t care” about its talent leaving). https://twitter.com/LudwigAhgren/status/1465442046328524805?ref_src=twsrctfwtwcamptweetembedtwterm1465442046328524805twgrtwcons1_&ref_url=httpswww.dexerto.comentertainmentludwig-leaves-twitch-for-exclusive-deal-with-youtube-gaming-1709744 Chief among the existing YouTube-exclusive content creators is Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, who boasts over 110 million subscribers and is the most-subscribed independent YouTuber. When asked about his thoughts on streamers like Ludwig and Valkyrae switching over to YouTube during a live stream, PewDiePie appeared to be enthusiastic about the situation. PewDiePie reacts to Ludwig moving to YouTube “A lot of creators getting paid to stream on YouTube lately,” he read a comment from his chat aloud. “Nice! Get paid! Get that cash. Good for them. I’m glad they’re able to do it.” “I was a little cautious, because I… you know what, I don’t need to talk about my deal,” he continued. “It doesn’t matter. I’m very happy. … I’ll tell you all about my experience in due time.” Notably, PewDiePie also signed an exclusive contract with YouTube Gaming in summer 2020, after previously streaming on DLive. Although he didn’t give any specifics about his deal with YouTube, it’s clear he’s pleased with his arrangement and hopes other streamers find similar success on the site.

  • PewDiePie goes on incredible rant to prove he’s still a gamer – Dexerto

    PewDiePie goes on incredible rant to prove he’s still a gamer Epic GamesYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg shot back at all the haters and doubters who’ve claimed he wasn’t a “real” gamer in his latest video. PewDiePie proclaimed he was done with having people accuse him online of not playing video games or not being a true “gamer” anymore, leading to a lengthy rant that spanned the entire duration of his latest 10-minute video. “Why do I have a G Fuel sponsorship? Why do I have this gaming chair, that can in fact do a lot of things?,” he asked rhetorically. “Why do I have these gaming headphones? Why do I have these gamer muscles if I wasn’t a gamer?” To prove he’s a true gamer, even though he doesn’t dress like one, PewDiePie runs through some classic gaming fashion, all while constantly putting on more layers of gaming t-shirts and accessories. “If I can’t identify my entire existence through a hobby that literally everyone takes part in than who am I? Who am I supposed to be?” PewDiePie wondered out loud. Eventually, the YouTuber finds it hard to move around and even breathe in all the epic gamer clothing. PewDiePie also took some shots at Fortnite and especially Fornite clothing throughout the video. “My name is Felix Kjellberg, and I’m proud to say I’m a gamer,” PewDiePie said, before transitioning seamlessly to remind viewers of his G Fuel code. If this doesn’t convince all the trolls and haters out there that PewDiePie is as real as it gets when it comes to gaming, nothing will.

  • PewDiePie gives surprising response to YouTube CEO’s statement on Rewind 2018 – Dexerto

    PewDiePie gives surprising response to YouTube CEO’s statement on Rewind 2018 PewDiePie, YouTube Rewind 2018 – YouTubeYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg addressed a blog post made by the video-sharing website’s CEO Susan Wojcicki on February 5, wherein she admitted that her own children had called YouTube Rewind 2018 “cringey.” In her blog post, Wojcicki admitted that YouTube had failed to feature some of the year’s biggest moments in the video, and promised that the platform would make improvements for Rewind 2019. Pewds spoke on the statement during an episode of Pew News on February 7, where he had a surprisingly optimistic take on Wojcicki’s review. “It feels nice to hear them say it,” PewDiePie said of the post. “Just admitting that they fucked up. I mean, I guess when you have the most disliked video on YouTube… you kinda know you did something wrong, at least.” PewDiePie went on to congratulate the platform for better responding to creators via social media outlets – although he did take issue with YouTube’s new “Premiere” feature, claiming that the tool dropped views for his forthcoming videos. Since its release, YouTube Rewind 2018 has become the most disliked video in the platform’s history, with over over 15 million dislikes and counting. PewDiePie made his own rendition of the video in response to the backlash, which later became YouTube’s most liked non-music video on the site with over seven million likes. PewDiePie even joked about being featured in Rewind 2019, likely hinting at his ongoing war against Bollywood label T-Series to secure the most subscribers on the platform.

  • PewDiePie gives scathing response to allegations of Anti-Semitism – Dexerto

    PewDiePie gives scathing response to allegations of Anti-Semitism PewDiePie, YouTubeYouTube’s biggest creator, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, was accused of Anti-Semitism after promoting a controversial channel in one of his videos. Now, he is speaking out about the debacle – and he’s taking issue with the media in the process. PewDiePie became part of yet another controversy after promoting a series of smaller channels during an episode of ‘Pew News’ on December 9. One of these channels, going by the handle ‘E;R,’ is notable for featuring Nazi imagery and problematic content – leading to wide speculation that PewDiePie was intentionally promoting an Anti-Semitic channel. Holy shit Pewdiepie shouted out E;R who legit pushes JQ bullshit on a regular basis and was slipping in dog whistles to the Heather Heyer murder being a heart attack what the fuuuuuuck — David Sherratt (@discordspies) December 10, 2018 However, PewDiePie claims that such allegations are untrue, arguing that he had no knowledge of E;R’s Anti-Semitic references as stated in a response video uploaded on December 11. “Obviously, if I noticed that, I wouldn’t have referenced him in the shoutout,” PewDiePie argued. “Not because I have a problem with Nazi references being offensive in themselves, but because I said… that I was going to distance myself Nazi jokes.” PewDiePie went on to take issue with the media’s coverage of the scandal, specifically calling out an article written by tech and news outlet ‘The Verge’ for allegedly using incorrect data when citing E;R’s subscriber boost after Pewd’s shoutout. Read More: YouTube Rewind set to break Justin Bieber’s dislike record – Top 20 most disliked videos ever – The Swede likewise claimed that those unfamiliar with Nazi tactics would be unlikely to recognize the references in E;R’s videos, calling the debacle “ironic.” “The irony here is that I’m supposed to be the Nazi, but I don’t know any of these goddamn references,” PewDiePie continued. PewDiePie has since edited his previous video to exclude E;R’s channel from his recommendations, likewise deleting the link to his channel from the video’s description.

  • PewDiePie gives scathing review of popular YouTuber Gabbie Hanna’s single ‘Monster’ – Dexerto

    PewDiePie gives scathing review of popular YouTuber Gabbie Hanna’s single ‘Monster’ PewDiePie, Genius – YouTubeYouTube’s most-subscribed creator, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, took major shots at popular YouTuber Gabbie Hanna during an episode of ‘Meme Review’ on December 18, where he roasted her latest single in a scathing series of comments. Hanna broke down the lyrics to her single, ‘Monster,’ in a segment of Genius’s ‘Verified’ on November 19, where she caught flak for her vocals while belting out one verse. Thanks to the internet’s neverending creativity, the clip spawned a plethora of memes poking fun at Gabbie’s singing – and even caught the attention of PewDiePie, himself. PewDiePie addressed Gabbie’s interview with Genius in an episode of his ‘Meme Review’ video series almost a month later, where he laid into the song’s lyrics without pulling any punches. “Damn, that’s deep,” PewDiePie sarcastically said of Hanna’s lyrical breakdown. “…I’ve always wondered what she meant when she said, ‘laying on this bed all alone.’ Thank God.” That wasn’t the end of Pewd’s tirade; he roasted her vocals, as well, going on to play a reel of varying parodies and memes inspired by the singer’s interview. “What happened there?” Pewds asked, going on to mimic Hanna’s singing with a high-pitched scream. “I have a couple of theories.” While Pewds never went on to explain these theories, Hanna’s interview with Genius now sits at over three million views, with a massive dislike ratio of 91,000 dislikes to 71,000 likes. Hanna addressed the widely-mocked segment in a reaction video on December 10, where she explained that the difference in audio stemmed from the Genius team’s sound mixing, claiming that they’d used a boom mic before cutting to the camera’s mic just as she belted out the chorus.

  • PewDiePie gives doubtful update on Elon Musk possibly hosting ‘Meme Review’ – Dexerto

    PewDiePie gives doubtful update on Elon Musk possibly hosting ‘Meme Review’ PewDiePie, YouTube / Joe Skipper, ReutersYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has given an solemn outlook on the possibility of his ‘Meme Review’ show being hosted by Tesla CEO and tech millionaire Elon Musk. While it seemed that Musk was hell-bent on hosting the show, PewDiePie isn’t so sure that the collaboration will actually come to fruition, as stated during an episode of ‘Meme Review’ on February 2. PewDiePie appeared to tease Musk’s appearance on the show before ultimately shutting it down – even joking that fans would have to wait until “the next millenia.” “I guess we will check the next millenia to see if he can appear on ‘Bonus Meme,’” Pewds said of the issue. “…yeah, he’s never coming on.” Musk made waves across the internet after tagging PewDiePie in a hilarious Tweet on January 27, where he was pictured holding one of his infamous flamethrowers aloft, with the caption, “Host meme review?” While PewDiePie’s response hinted that the collab could drastically boost his subscribers in light of his war with Bollywood label T-Series, it looks like Musk’s ‘Bonus Meme’ segment may never come to light. Musk wouldn’t be the first celebrity to make an appearance on the show, should he end up accepting in the future; conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro hosted ‘Bonus Meme’ in November of 2018, after which PewDiePie made an attempt to invite controversial rapper Tekashi69 onto a later episode. However, Tekashi currently faces an extended time in prison, while Elon Musk is still giving PewDiePie the silent treatment – for now.

  • PewDiePie gives his real thoughts on the T Series controversy – Dexerto

    PewDiePie gives his real thoughts on the T Series controversy Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has been hailed as the ‘king of YouTube’ for five years – but his quickly encroaching defeat doesn’t seem to be bothering him. PewDiePie gave his true thoughts on the matter in a Q & A video on October 21, where he admitted that T Series’ rapidly increasing subscriber rate isn’t a major point of contention to him. “I don’t really care about T Series,” he stated. “I genuinely don’t. I think that if YouTube does shift in a way that’s more corporate… something else will take its place.” Rather than taking issue with T Series and YouTube’s ever-growing shift towards corporate involvement, PewDiePie instead expressed concern around YouTubers ‘shilling’ corporate products in their videos. “I think what bothers me more… is YouTubers shilling corporate,” he stated. “…buying into this image that companies want them to be for the sake of being lifted up by them. It’s a great business move… but to me, it’s inauthentic.” He then went on to state that he sees YouTubers’ authentic connections to their fans as a major selling point for the platform, and feels that the site’s greatest issue lies in its leadership. “No one really respects the website,” he explained. “A lot of the decisions and changes haven’t been connected with the community.” PewDiePie mentioned this very issue in his video detailing the release of Logan Paul’s YouTube Red movie, where he criticized the platform’s apparent double-standard in regards to the behavior of its creators. PewDiePie is set to be defeated by T Series very soon: the channels currently sit at 67 million and 66 million subscribers, respectively.

  • PewDiePie found an item that makes Minecraft “10 times better” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie found an item that makes Minecraft “10 times better” L: PewDiePie – YouTube R: MojangMinecraft content while still discovering ways to have even more fun. PewDiePie started a Minecraft playthrough as part of his “Gaming Week” series but that somehow transitioned into a staple on his channel as millions of viewers wait daily for him to drop his new video. The YouTuber hasn’t disappointed and although he defeated the Ender Dragon during his playthrough, he promised fans he’s not close to being done with the game. In his September 9 video, he discovered something he didn’t think was possible in Minecraft. That’s right, Pewds learned how to fly using the Elytra and he says the game is greatly improved because of it. The Elytra was added to Minecraft all the way back in version 1.9 of Minecraft in 2016, but this is the first Pewds has learned of it. At the 1:25 mark in the video, he finally figures out how to make it work and lets out a joyful cheer as he glides towards his town ordering his villagers to get back to work. After propelling himself across the world with Firework Rockets near the 3:20 mark of the video, he shared his true thoughts about what it’s like to fly. “This is amazing,” he said. “This is the greatest day of my life. Look at Meatball! Woo hoo hoo!” Flying through the world instead of traversing on foot would have greatly sped things up, but better later than never. It’s good to see that even though the credits have already rolled, the Swede is still finding exciting things to do in Minecraft. There’s no telling how much left to find he has to find in the game but if anyone can do it, it’s the YouTube king. Outside of his main series, there’s also the series he has going on with fellow YouTuber Jacksepticeye. The two don’t really have a goal they’re building towards in terms of conquering the Ender Dragon, but they do have a lot of fun together which is always a good thing for viewers. PewDiePie recently crushed his 100 million subscriber goal, which he was awarded a special Red Diamond Creator Award, the only solo YouTuber to do so. The Indian music company T-Series also received this honor.

  • PewDiePie “frustrated” with Japan’s health restrictions as birth of baby draws near – Dexerto

    PewDiePie “frustrated” with Japan’s health restrictions as birth of baby draws near YouTube: PewDiePieYouTube star PewDiePie admitted he’s “frustrated” with Japan’s health restrictions, as they will allegedly limit the amount of time he’s able to spend with his baby in the hospital once it’s born. Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is one of the most famous content creators on the internet. Best known for his gaming videos, the Swedish influencer was YouTube’s most-subscribed independent channel for a number of years before being dethroned by MrBeast in 2022. Over the past half-decade, there have been a number of big events in PewDiePie’s life. He married wife Marzia in 2019 and moved to Japan in 2022, after sliding into a “retirement” of sorts back in 2020. Now, he and Marzia are expecting their first child — and although PewDiePie described his ‘semi-retired’ life in Japan as “a dream,” he does have one major frustration with the country… its strict health rules. PewDiePie says Japan’s health restrictions will limit his time with baby In a YouTube video uploaded on June 15, Pewds revealed that, although he appreciates Japan’s adherence to rules and structure, these regulations can be frustrating at times. “Japan has so many rules, and it’s a bit conflicting for me to complain about, because a lot of the best stuff about Japan,” he explained. “… a lot of the reasons why Japan works so well is because of the rules.” “But sometimes, there are rules that just don’t make any sense. I have no problem following rules as long as I understand the reason for it, you know. …a lot of it is just, ‘Be thoughtful of other people, it’s not just about you.’” Namely, the YouTuber mentioned the country’s strict health restrictions, which he says will prevent him from spending more than two hours with his baby once they’re born. (PewDiePie and Marzia’s baby is expected to be delivered in July 2023.) “I’m not allowed to be in the delivery room for our baby for more than two hours,” he claimed. “That’s because of [the global health problem] rules. It just doesn’t make sense to me… it’s really frustrating.” (Topic begins at 10:20) Despite this complication, PewDiePie gave the country an “S+” rating and encouraged his viewers to visit. He gave a number of other reasons why he loves living there, including not being recognized and overall feeling “happier” with his retired life. This latest news from the YouTuber comes after he addressed his sudden ban on Twitch and rumors his channel got hacked back in May.

  • PewDiePie flames Bethesda over Fallout 76 and E3 conference failures – Dexerto

    PewDiePie flames Bethesda over Fallout 76 and E3 conference failures The press conferences for E3 2019 have wrapped up, and YouTube star Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg had a lot to say about them, with much of his criticism aimed at Bethesda and their executive Todd Howard. E3 2019 is still ongoing, but with all of the conferences finished, video game fans now have a clear picture of what to expect for the remainder of 2019, and going into 2020. While E3 is mostly about seeing what games are coming out, it’s also interesting to pay attention to the crowds and their reactions – something PewDiePie did with Bethesda’s conference. PewDiePie had a lot to say about Bethesda’s conference and took several shots at Fallout 76 – Bethesda’s attempt to take the Fallout universe and turn it into an online game. He watched the pre-recorded footage of various employees talking about how the community helps reign them in, and tells them when things are going poorly. “‘You keep us in check’ is basically code for, ‘Yeah, we’ve made some shit games,’” Pewds said. “What did Fallout 76 get in ratings again?” he asked as zoomed on the user score on Metacritic, which was a 2.7. He was very excited from Todd Howard came onto the stage as he became the butt of many jokes. “I love him, all the bad games are fine as long as Todd Howard makes a joke about,” he said jokingly. PewDiePie also pointed out how Howard was able to spin the bad press around Fallout 76, and make it sound positive. “They have over 60 million players,” he said. “How can we say something good about this situation? Oh god, anything. Uhhh, we have a lot of players?” He included a clip of various Fallout 76 bugs plaguing the game, essentially showing the game was nowhere close to being ready. Fans were already suspicious of Bethesda’s crowd, and now you can add PewDiePie to that list. He specifically mentioned the guy yelling “Yeah!” after pretty much every sentence during the conference. The Swede showed various clips of the man yelling, but said that people saying the crowd was paid was probably just trolling Bethesda, as he was in his video.

  • PewDiePie floored by “uncanny” $4 million NFT of himself – Dexerto

    PewDiePie floored by “uncanny” $4 million NFT of himself Wallem Skins, OpenSea / YouTube: PewDiePieNFTs are all the rage right now, with oodles of companies jumping on the trend… but PewDiePie isn’t sure how to feel about an unofficial NFT someone made in his likeness. Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is YouTube’s most-subscribed independent content creator, having just reached 111 million subscribers and standing as the platform’s fourth most-subbed channel overall. As such, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if the Swedish internet star had an NFT of himself… and it turns out, he actually does — except he didn’t sign off on it. PewDiePie discussed the Non-Fungible Token phenomenon during a December 16 YouTube video, finding them at once both ridiculous and intriguing before showing off an NFT that someone had made of him. PewDiePie reacts to $4 million NFT of himself The 3D-modeled PewDiePie can be seen head-bopping to an indeterminate beat, wearing a classic brofist T-Shirt alongside the YouTuber’s well-worn pink and black headphones. It’s a dead-ringer for the influencer, and it’s certainly an object of curiosity — one that costs a whopping $4,026,347.10. Kjellberg appeared to be flabbergasted by the NFT, and quickly warned fans that he “of course, had nothing to do with this.” “God damn it, what the f**k?” he laughed. “It sold for four million? How? It’s so uncanny. It looks just like me. Honestly, I get it. Jesus Christ, dude.” Although Pewds wasn’t exactly exuberant over his own NFT, he generally finds the tokens to be fairly interesting, if uninspired. “Listen, I think it’s still cool,” the YouTuber said. “I just think people are doing lame s**t with it. That’s my whole point with this.” (Topic begins at 1:58) “Like I said, I think there’s cool stuff to be done with NFTs, it’s just that no one is doing it,” he added. “It’s just people that don’t care who are just trying to cash in, and therefore it’s lame. Until that changes, it’s lame.”

  • PewDiePie becomes first individual YouTuber to hit 100 million subscribers – Dexerto

    PewDiePie becomes first individual YouTuber to hit 100 million subscribers Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg has a lot to celebrate as he just surpassed 100 million subscribers on YouTube on August 24, making him the first individual creator to do so. PewDiePie is the second YouTube channel to break 100 million subscribers, trailing close behind the Indian owned corporation T-Series. Despite this, he is actually the first individual creator to hit the major milestone. Despite being the second channel to reach the subscriber count, the Swede has long been a part of the YouTube community as an individual content creator, making the feat all the more impressive. Hitting 100 million Much of the channel’s growth in the last year has been fueled by the ‘PewDiePie vs. T-Series’ feud that saw the YouTube community rallying behind the Swede in a movement to keep the content creator as the most subscribed channel over T-Series, which is a corporate owned channel. While PewDiePie went on to lose that battle, it had become a cultural phenomenon, and also spawned Pewds’ two popular diss tracks called ‘Bitch Lasagna’ and ‘Congratulations’ which have over 100 million views each. The former released immediately after T-Series passed him in subscribers and even led to a lawsuit brought on by the India-based company. After the feud ended, his channel saw another explosion in growth in June of 2019 after the YouTube king returned to his gaming roots, and started to upload daily Minecraft episodes, which largely boosted the game’s popularity in the following weeks. PewDiePie’s journey to 100 million The Swedish YouTuber originally created his account in 2006, although it wasn’t until 2010 that he would register his second channel under his infamous PewDiePie moniker. His ‘Let’s Plays’ of the popular horror game ‘Amnesia: The Dark Descent‘ where he screamed at barrels was one of the first things to catch the attention of viewers. In an update vlog on August 18, he reminisced that it was the first time that he fell in love with being a YouTuber. His weekly vlogs ‘Fridays with PewDiePie’ were also an early favorite among his growing audience. In just under a year, the YouTube star would go from 60,000 subs to 500,000 in 2012. He also saw major growth due to his massively popular ‘Happy Wheels’ videos, where the young Swede gained fame for his explosive reactions. It was in 2013 that he finally passed Smosh to become the number one most subscribed person on the video hosting platform, as his channel continued to grow at a rapid pace. Despite his channel being closely associated with gaming, the Swede made multiple format changes over the years. From the reaction style videos like ‘Pew News’ or ‘Last Week I Asked You’ to his highly popular ‘Meme Reviews’ (which even saw Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the infamous Dr. Phil host it), the changes seemed to pay off as they paved the way to this major milestone. PewDiePie got married Capping off what has been one of the best years of the Swede’s life was his marriage to his girlfriend of 8 years Marzia ‘CutiePie’ Bisognin on August 19. The celebration was held at Kew Gardens in London, England where the two had a private ceremony with their closest friends and family. PewDiePie uploaded photographs from his wedding to Twitter and Instagram on August 20, where the world gushed over the couple’s union. We are married!!! I’m the happiest I can be :heart:️ I’m so lucky to share my life with this amazing woman. pic.twitter.com/RA3iKAgMOs — ƿ૯ωძɿ૯ƿɿ૯ (@pewdiepie) August 20, 2019 The YouTube star then uploaded his wedding video on August 24 which documented the emotional evening, from the vows and the speeches to the celebration afterwards. While Marzia no longer uploads on the website, the two have long been seen as one of the most popular couples on the streaming platform. The Swede is undoubtedly having the best year of his life with his channel seeing its biggest resurgence yet, his marriage to the love of his life, and his re-discovered passion for being a YouTuber all over again. And now he’s hit the 100 million subscriber milestone. Whether you love him or hate him, there is no denying that PewDiePie is the YouTube king. He’s the most subscribed individual content creator on the platform, and for years has continuously put out daily videos, while masterfully navigating the trends – and it’s certainly paid off.

  • PewDiePie flabbergasted by bizarre praise from That Vegan Teacher – Dexerto

    PewDiePie flabbergasted by bizarre praise from That Vegan Teacher YouTube: PewDiePie, That Vegan TeacherYouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg had an awkward run-in with the controversial ‘That Vegan Teacher,’ who praised him for going vegan… even though he isn’t one. PewDiePie is one of the most popular influencers around. Standing as YouTube’s most-subscribed independent creator, the Swede has evolved from playing Amnesia in the dark to duking it out with T-Series for top spot on the site over the span of his 11-year career. PewDiepie now boasts over 110 million subscribers, so it makes sense that he attracts a slew of reactions from other influencers… including the divisive ‘That Vegan Teacher.’ Who is That Vegan Teacher? That Vegan Teacher (real name Kadie Karen Diekmeyer) went viral on TikTok last year for her strong views on the vegan lifestyle, and she isn’t shy about calling out others for not following in her footsteps. Diekmeyer was banned from TikTok in February of this year for multiple alleged community violations, and has since moved on to YouTube, where she uploaded a strange video praising PewDiePie for purportedly going vegan. It’s unclear exactly why That Vegan Teacher thinks PewDiePie has stopped eating meat. The focus of her video seems to be centered around a photo he showed in one of his most recent videos of two burgers surrounded by fries. There’s no way to tell if the meal is actually vegan or not, and PewDiePie’s editor even claimed that he just threw in the photo after Googling the word ‘Meat.’ Along with grading his views on animals and his eating habits, Diekmeyer even wrote a song for PewDiePie’s ‘Vegan Initiation Day,’ which the YouTuber and his fellow creator, CinnamonToastKen, had a good laugh at in their response to the bizarre situation. “She’s doing a lot of projecting on you right now, and you haven’t actually said anything of the stuff that she says you have in this video yet,” Ken noted. “She’s so proud of you.” “Does she understand that I haven’t made this burger?” Kjellberg asked. “This is a photo of a burger that my editor put in, and I don’t know why!” Is PewDiePie vegan? While PewDiePie is not a vegan, he and his wife Marzia are pescatarians, meaning they eat fish but hold back on other meats. PewDiePie has also expressed hesitation regarding the consumption of pork in the past. Unfortunately for That Vegan Teacher, it looks like her assumptions of PewDiePie are misguided — but that didn’t stop him from getting some amusement out of the whole ordeal anyway.

  • PewDiePie finally reveals why he had to take down infamous car YouTube video – Dexerto

    PewDiePie finally reveals why he had to take down infamous car YouTube video YouTube: PewDiePiePopular YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg opened up about his infamously deleted “My New Car” video from 2016. The star revealed the hilarious reason why he had to take down part two of the promotional upload after things went up in smoke with his sponsor. In 2016, PewDiePie infamously lampooned content creators making vlogs about the luxury cars they were able to buy after “making it” on YouTube. Purchasing a sweet Nissan Micra, the Swedish star hilariously showed off the vehicle like it was a Lamborghini. The iconic clip has since been deleted, but during his May 14 upload, the 31-year-old revealed the real reason part two of the video was taken down. The sponsored collaboration almost went up in flames – literally. PewDiePie reveals why “My New Car” part 2 was taken down Kjellberg was reacting to a TikTok that showed a car alarm going off to tell the owner to use diesel fuel when the genius invention reminded him of his epic 2016 car video. “When we shot the ‘My Car’ video part two, which had to be taken down, we had to gas up the car that we were promoting,” he said. Pewds then explained that the company sponsoring his video told him the wrong fuel type. “We asked them TWICE ‘is it petrol or is it diesel?’ And they said petrol. It was a promo for a car, and so we shoot the video and all of a sudden there’s f**king smoke coming out of the engine. Because clearly it WAS DIESEL!” he exclaimed.

And [the sponsor] was like ‘No. That’s bad for the car’ so we can’t show it. And I’m like ‘YOU SAID PETROL! WHEN IT WAS DIESEL!’ Stupid idiot. And then they made me take the video down,” he said joked. (Topic starts at 6:18) Due to the gasoline mishap, the Swedish entertainer said that the upload had to be removed off his channel to not upset the company sponsoring the clip. The iconic upload is still revered by fans to this day due its hilariously accurate parody of the car trend that was taking over YouTube back in 2016. Nearly five years later, the two-part video is still removed from YouTube. But it’s interesting to now know a little more about why they were taken down in the first place. The story behind how it was made sounds just as hilarious as the upload itself. It’s doubtful PewDiePie will be showing off his actual car anytime soon though, as in recent years the 31-year old has found himself letting go of many of his material things after becoming obsessed with philosophy. Still, there are probably plenty of epic behind-the-scenes stories he can tell us about his 10-year career on the video platform.

  • PewDiePie explains why YouTube’s new hate speech policy is “bizarre” – Dexerto

    PewDiePie explains why YouTube’s new hate speech policy is “bizarre” YouTube / PewDiePieYouTube star, Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg explained why he thinks YouTube’s new hate speech policy is “bizarre”, following the controversial #VoxAdpocalypse scandal with Steven Crowder and Carlos Maza. YouTube’s community guidelines have always been quite vague when it comes to dealing with hate speech on their platform and has often been left up to interpretation. However, following some of the backlash facing Steven Crowder’s words about Carlos Maza, YouTube announced that they would be revising some of their policies regarding hate speech, which left many YouTuber’s worried after channels began to get demonetized on the platform. Popular Swedish YouTuber, PewDiePie, explained the potential effects that these new ‘hate speech’ community guidelines would have on what content is allowed on the platform, in his latest installment of “Pew News.” After breaking down the latest updates to Steven Crowder’s channel, which was demonetized for a ‘pattern of egregious actions, which harmed the LGBTQ community’, Felix said that he was worried about the impact the event would have on other creators. “I think what really matters here is the effect,” PewDiePie explained, “there’s definitely even tighter restrictions here on YouTube.” Topic starts at 4:57 for mobile users. PewDiePie gave an example of a history channel, which featured clips on Nazi policy and propaganda speeches by Nazi leaders, getting banned for ‘hate speech’, and the effects that these new guidelines could have. He calling for YouTube to “do a better job,” saying, ”Delete hateful content by all means, but then at least make sure you know what hateful content is.” He then followed up claiming that the new policies were bizarre to him, as they would seem to be based on the broader impact to a community rather than the individual action, referring to the case of Steven Crowder and Carlos Maza.
