Markiplier hits out at book written about him without permission YouTube: MarkiplierPopular American YouTuber Mark \u2018Markiplier\u2019 Fischbach has criticized a biographical book published about him, seemingly without his knowledge or permission. Markiplier is one of the biggest names on YouTube, regularly posting a variety of content to his 25 million subscribers. He is also one YouTuber whose success has transcended the platform, as he is regularly seen within \u2018mainstream\u2019 forms of media, alongside his online appearances. However, it appears that this fame has led to some unwanted coverage, as a book entitled \u2018Top Video Gamers in the World \u2013 Mark Markiplier Fischbach\u2019 has recently been published \u2013 seemingly without the YouTuber\u2019s permission. In a March 7 YouTube video entitled \u201cSomeone Wrote a Book About me\u2026 Without My Permission?!\u201d, Fischbach criticized the book\u2019s author, Philip Wolny. Markiplier explained that he\u2019s \u201cnot sure\u201d what he\u2019s going to do with regards to the book, but did mention bringing his lawyers into the equation because he\u2019s unsure of the \u201clegality\u201d of writing a book about an individual without their permission. What proceeds is a comical dive into Wolny\u2019s book about the YouTube star, in which Markiplier \u201chunts for the inaccuracies\u201d and calls out Wolny on some of the misinformation in the book. Among other things, Markiplier calls out the book for already being out of date with regards to his number of total views and subscribers. In fact, the book\u2019s tagline states that Fischbach is a YouTube star with \u201c10 billion+ views\u201d. The figure is now over 12 billion. Similarly, Wolny puts Markiplier\u2019s subscribers at roughly 20 million. However, as Fischbach points out, he now sits at upwards of 25 million. \u201cI think what happened is they just watched my \u2018Draw My Life\u2019,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause they\u2019re literally only referencing my \u2018Draw My Life\u2019, which at this point is outdated information. I made that video in like 2013.\u201d The 30-year-old was also critical of the sections relating to his father\u2019s death, describing that he feels someone just \u201cfilled in the gaps\u201d and speculated emotions he may have been feeling. Markiplier\u2019s frustrations appear to stem from feeling that a large portion of the book is inaccurate and misleading. It remains to be seen what action \u2013 if any \u2013 the YouTuber will take with regards to the book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
