It\u2019s no secret that the entertainer isn\u2019t the biggest fan of YouTube giveaways. PewDiePie has voiced his criticisms of the type of content in past videos. During his May 28 upload, however, the star gave his subscribers a more in-depth explanation for why he doesn\u2019t like them and called out channels for \u2018gaming\u2019 the system. PewDiePie dislikes YouTube giveaways Kjellberg opened up about his feelings towards YouTube giveaways after viewers asked him to elaborate further on why he dislikes the type of content. \u201cI\u2019ll say this once and for all. Giveaways on YouTube are what I have a problem with. Because you are buying subs, likes, and comments [by giving away free stuff],\u201d he said. Pewds then explained why he feels the content is abusing YouTube\u2019s platform. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a way to boost your video in the algorithm. The YouTube algorithm is like \u201cOh, this gets a lot of traction.\u201d It used to be a sure way to get your video to trend. And you saw a lot of channels abusing it, that didn\u2019t deserve to get on these trending feeds. So yeah, it\u2019s annoying in that sense.\u201d The 31-year-old argued that channels were also being disingenuous with their fans. \u201cIt\u2019s also annoying that they are doing it on a pretense that it\u2019s something nice for your fans like \u201cI want to give back\u201d but in reality YOU are the one that\u2019s benefiting from it. Like, don\u2019t pretend you are giving back to fans. What, like five of them? So five of them get something while you get a lot of money and views. That\u2019s what I have a problem with.\u201d (Topic starts at 11:24) In past videos, the star has explained that he does not include MrBeast in this group, as the philanthropist goes to great lengths to make actual content that is \u201centertaining.\u201d Speaking of giveaways, PewDiePie has been donating 100% of his YouTube stream revenues to a new charity each month. For instance, in April 2021 Kjellberg gave over $133,169 to the BlueCross Foundation which rehomes animals and rescues pets. During previous months, the star has given away money to mental health organizations, as well as ocean preservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
