People are like \u201cOh, he\u2019s doing it to promote Black Ops! \u2026 No I\u2019m just an idiot!\u201d He further explained that he was going to private the content, but was surprised when his fans seemed to enjoy it. \u201cI was going to private it right away as soon as I noticed. But people loved the video. I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t say anything bad in it, things were different 10 years ago, remember?\u201d he joked. Pewds then opened up about how the video made him feel humbled. \u201cThis took me back so hard! I\u2019m just like damn, going from that little Swede in that tiny flat, to where I am today is just unbelievable. I can barely speak English, I\u2019m second guessing every word I say. Thank you for watching. I\u2019m just so humbled by it. It gave me so much perspective,\u201d he said. (Timestamp 05:11 for mobile users.) PewDiePie smiled when a fan congratulated him on hitting his 10th anniversary of making content, and revealed how he felt about the milestone. \u201cThank you, guys. When I first hit it, I was like \u201cOh, ten years!\u201d but now I\u2019m reflecting on it and it\u2019s insane to think about it.\u201d The Swedish star originally joined YouTube on April 29, 2010 and got his start creating gaming content. The first video on his channel was a short Minecraft commentary clip, which is fitting since he re-visited the sandbox title in 2019. In what will surely make fans feel nostalgic, the YouTuber ended the video by giving his iconic \u201cBro Fist\u201d sign off. \u201cThanks for 10 years. You know what? F**k it! Let\u2019s do a Bro Fist. Thank you, guys!\u201d After spending 10 years making content on the platform, PewDiePie announced on May 4 that he had signed a deal with YouTube Gaming to stream exclusively on their service. \u201cLivestreaming is something I\u2019m focusing a lot on in 2020,\u201d he said. With the Swedish entertainer putting a bigger focus on live broadcasting this year, fans have a lot to be excited about \u2013 if his epic Minecraft series and Terraria Lets Plays are anything to go by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
