PewDiePie lashes out at YouTube after his YouTube Rewind video gets major views PewDiePie, YouTube Rewind 2018 – YouTubeYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg is taking shots at the video platform, after his remake of YouTube Rewind 2018 failed to make the trending page \u2013 regardless of its massive view count. PewDiePie addressed the issue in an episode of \u2018LWIAY\u2019 on December 30, where he reacted to a fan\u2019s Tweet asking YouTube why his Rewind rendition wasn\u2019t trending. \u201cSo, I don\u2019t know why, but I go on the trending page and Ninja is at number one with seven million views in a day,\u201d the fan explained. \u201cBut I can\u2019t find PewDiePie, who got like nine million views in 11 hours.\u201d Pewds went on to criticize YouTube\u2019s trending algorithm, speculating that rather than using views as a metric for popularity, the platform takes note of how many \u201coutside viewers\u201d a video receives, instead. \u201cThis is such a massive video, and I had other videos trending for way less,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m genuinely concerned that they actually decided to not put it on trending because it makes YouTube look bad.\u201d While PewDiePie\u2019s theory has not been confirmed, it wouldn\u2019t be the first time the YouTuber has had his projects suppressed; the second season of Pewds\u2019 YouTube Originals show, \u2018Scare PewDiePie,\u2019 was shelved following an anti-Semitic joke he made in an alleged attempt to test the limits of freelance service Fiverr in February 2017. PewDiePie\u2019s YouTube Rewind video currently has over 25 million views as of December 30, and reportedly gained around 10 million views in 12 hours after being uploaded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
