PewDiePie Destroys Ali-A in a Video About Fortnite Clickbait The fact that Fortnite: Battle Royale has become such a popular video game has led many popular gaming content creators to use it as a major source of content for their videos and streams. One such person is popular YouTuber \u2018Ali-A,\u2019 who transitioned from being one of the biggest names in Call of Duty content creation to becoming a force in the Fortnite section of YouTube gaming. However, \u2018Ali-A\u2019 has recently been under scrutiny by many for using a tactic known as \u2018clickbait,\u2019 which essentially means that he is using certain titles and thumbnails to mislead people into clicking on his videos. The latest to roast him is fellow YouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg, whose 62 million subscribers are the most on the website. On May 14th, PewDiePie released a video in which he analyzes and subsequently makes fun of the various instances of Ali-A\u2019s clickbaiting tactics. Right off the bat, the video starts with the same classic intro that Ali-A uses in his videos, along with an edited clip in which he confesses something about himself in a video. The video then continues with PewDiePie starting his spiel about the state of Fortnite content on YouTube. \u201cA few weeks ago I made a video on Fortnite and nothing has changed, basically it\u2019s still the same. The absolute state of YouTube gaming is very much stil \u2018aaaaaaaaa.\u2019 The YouTuber then goes on to look at the thumbnails of Ali-A\u2019s videos, many of which display facial expressions of surprise and anticipation. \u201cI love these thumbnails, they\u2019re so good. It\u2019s basically the SOI boy equivalent of a thumbnail.\u201d He continues by taking a look at two videos which indicate that various superheros are in Fortnite, which they are obviously not. \u201cYou know here we have a video called \u2018The Superman Challenge.\u2019 Wow! Superman is in Fortnite?! Oh you best watch 25 minutes to find out! Oh, oh I guess there isn\u2019t. Oh what?! The Flash is in Fortnite? Nope, no it isn\u2019t. The Hulk?! The Hulk is in Fortnite! I must watch this 22 minute and 35 seconds video right now! He goes on to do the same thing with some of the videos that use the \u201cWhat\u2019s inside ________?!\u201d variety of clickbait titles and images. \u201cIf we\u2019re talking about what\u2019s inside things. Here we have \u2018Opening the bunker, What\u2019s inside?\u2019 What I want to know is what\u2019s inside Ali-A\u2019s hat? I mean, he\u2019s wearing it in every single video. He must be hiding something underneath there. Ah, what could it be? I have some ideas, but I will keep them to myself.\u201d All in all, PewDiePie believes that the reason why so many YouTubers, like Ali-A, are resorting to this level is because that is the best level of content they can deliver. \u201cThis is not clickbait guys. This is what the content is. It\u2019s reflecting the content.\u201d \u2013 You can watch the entirety of PewDiePie\u2019s video down below, or on his official YouTube channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
