PewDiePie defends fan who recorded him during pop-up shop meet and greet YouTube: PewDiePieYouTube star PewDiePie came to his fan\u2019s defense after they recorded him helping out at his wife Marzia\u2019s pop-up shop last month. PewDiePie is the most-subscribed independent content creator on YouTube. The OG influencer has been gaming on the platform for 12 years, and has a substantial fanbase of over 111 million subscribers to show for it. As such, it\u2019s no surprise that he might get recognized in public from time to time. This is especially true when he attends a convention or other event where fans are invited. Most recently, this occurred during a pop-up shop for his wife, Marzia\u2019s, pottery store. The pop-up took place from March 19-24 in Brighton, UK, where he and Marzia are living until they eventually move to Japan. Of course, the event garnered some buzz and fans of Marzia and her products streamed into the store to get some goodies \u2014 including one fan who recorded a small snippet of their experience at the shop.

The fan uploaded the short video to Reddit, humorously captioning the clip: \u201cNot me crying because I finally met Pewds.\u201d Unfortunately, the video wasn\u2019t met with positivity, as one commenter claimed it was \u201ckinda weird to just record someone.\u201d \u201cIf you ever see him again just say hi, he might be an inspiration to all of us but at the end of the day he\u2019s a person and I\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019d prefer to be treated as one,\u201d they wrote. The comment garnered over 2.1k likes, showing that many fans were in agreement.

I feel like, in that shop, it was kind of expected that people were gonna do that, so I really don\u2019t mind.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s more like, weird if I\u2019m on the street or something,\u201d he added.
