[jwplayer mgzBNoPb] With over 107 million subscribers to his channel, PewDiePie is the undisputedly one of the most recognized entertainers in the world. In March, the Swede revealed his move towards streaming after signing a multi-million dollar deal with YouTube. During his November 5 broadcast, the 31-year-old announced that he will no longer be accepting donations from fans. The star explained why he found the process to be \u201cweird\u201d after giving money away to Twitch streamers in October. PewDiePie stops taking streaming donations While normally known for his YouTube content, PewDiePie has become one of the most watched streamers in the world in 2020. However, during his November 5 broadcast, Kjellberg opened up about why he is no longer taking donations. \u201cI decided I don\u2019t want to accept more donations. I appreciate just the chatting,\u201d he said in response to a fan who was trying to give him money during the stream. Pewds then revealed that it was his October 15 video he made donating to Twitch streamers that made him change his stance on the subject. \u201cIt was actually when I did my donating to Twitch streamer video that made me realize just how weird it is to donate money to people. Like if someone gave me that money on the street I would be like \u201cwhat the f**k no\u201d but for some reason if I\u2019m streaming, \u201cpay me.\u201d I don\u2019t get it. It just makes no sense,\u201d he said. The YouTube legend was quick to point out that he doesn\u2019t judge anyone else for taking donations, but that this was something specific to him. \u201cI\u2019m not judging other people. From my perspective, it doesn\u2019t make sense. So I\u2019m not accepting it, I don\u2019t think I need it,\u201d he said. The entertainer\u2019s move follows in the footsteps of Twitch star Pokimane, who revealed she is capping her donations at $5 on November 2 \u2013 although PewDiePie explained that his decision wasn\u2019t connected. This isn\u2019t the first time Pewds has bucked industry trends either. Since June, he has been donating all of his subscriber money to a new charity each month, and lets fans help decide on an organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
