Dillon\u2019s Twitter profile describes him as a \u201c20 year old YouTuber with the goal of chaos\u201d \u2013 a goal he rightly achieved, as evidenced by his \u201cwar\u201d against PewDiePie and his \u201cnine-year-old army.\u201d This \u201cwar\u201d between the two YouTubers dates back as far as 2014, when Dillon uploaded his \u201cPewDiePie Roast\u201d video, claiming that the Swede wasn\u2019t a \u201ctrue gamer, like me.\u201d Calling himself the \u201cnew meaning of rebel\u201d and threatening to \u201chack everything you love,\u201d Dillon and PewDiePie were embroiled in a hilarious series of battles that had fans glued to their screens. However, it looks like their feud has now come to an end after rumors have circulated of the young YouTuber\u2019s death. Fans and friends of Dillon have shared their condolences across social media, with Twitter user \u201cMC Selma\u201d claiming to have been a friend of the late YouTuber and confirming his passing. \u201cMany of you may be familiar with the name \u2018Dillon the hacker,\u2019\u201d Selma wrote. \u201cHe is someone who has provided us with such amazing satirical content. It is why it is with great sadness for me to say that a month ago he passed away.\u201d Even top YouTuber \u201cJacksepticeye\u201d responded to Selma\u2019s now-viral Tweet, writing, \u201cThis is sad. Dillon made some funny videos. RIP.\u201d While Selma claimed that she cannot give any further information due to respecting the privacy of Dillon\u2019s family, fans of the deceased are posting an outpouring of sympathy across social media in wake of the tragic news.
