PewDiePie has major doubts about next YouTube sub goal, admits T-series defeat PewDiePie, YouTube \/ T-SeriesYouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg reached 91 million subscribers in the midst of his battle with Bollywood label T-Series \u2013 but his next subscriber goal may never come to fruition. While Kjellberg announced a race to 100 million subs against T-Series in early March, the YouTuber has since backpedaled on this goal, appearing to admit defeat in an episode of LWIAY on March 30. \u201cLet\u2019s get real here,\u201d PewDiePie said of his loss. \u201cT-Series have already passed. Let\u2019s just acknowledge the situation. It\u2019s over, okay? \u2026we ain\u2019t never gonna get to 100.\u201d While PewDiePie put up a major fight for nearly half a year, T-Series managed to surpass the YouTuber by a wide margin on March 26 \u2013 and has stayed on top for nearly four days, as of March 30. T-Series currently sits at over 107,000 subs above PewDiePie; while the YouTuber has been known to bounce back from major defeats before, it doesn\u2019t look like the YouTuber has another comeback plan in mind, as further hinted at by his statements in March 30\u2019s LWIAY episode. \u201cIt feels weird \u2013 this is the first LWIAY I\u2019ve recorded where we\u2019re not technically winning,\u201d PewDiePie continued. \u201cSad. Just sad.\u201d PewDiePie\u2019s fight against the label saw the involvement of major YouTubers and celebrities alike, with the likes of political commentator Ben Shapiro and Tesla CEO Elon Musk making appearances on Kjellberg\u2019s \u2018Meme Review\u2019 show. [Timestamp: 19:48 for mobile viewers] Popular YouTuber Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson likewise made massive contributions to their battle, creating a citywide ad campaign across his hometown and even taking the fight to the 2019 Super Bowl, where he and his squad wore a series of shirts that read, \u2018Sub 2 PewDiePie\u2019 on live television. Even hackers jumped in on the action, infiltrating Chromecasts, Smart TVs, and even printers in an effort to boost PewDiePie\u2019s subscriber count ahead of T-Series. Despite the efforts of his dedicated fanbase, Kjellberg may have lost his crown for good, even reiterating that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t care\u201d about who comes out on top in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
