PewDiePie discussed the stream in an episode of \u2018Pew News\u2019 on February 6, where he noted that his YouTube broadcast garnered more live viewers than the entirety of Fortnite on Twitch. \u201cLet this be an inspirational message for all of you,\u201d Pewds joked. \u201c[I\u2019m] the biggest Fortnite streamer. \u2026I\u2019m the greatest Fortnite streamer! Let it be known.\u201d PewDiePie went on to address his previous claims that he would never stream the battle royale title on his channel, jokingly claiming that it was a last resort in the face of T-Series\u2019 ever-increasing sub count. \u201cLook, desperate times call for desperate measures,\u201d Pewds said sarcastically. \u201cI did what I had to do, and I\u2019m not proud of it, dammit.\u201d In fact, PewDiePie had teased the idea of streaming Fortnite during a previous video in November of 2018, calling the concept \u2018genius\u2019 \u2013 despite vehemently denying any chance of playing the game \u201cjust for the sake of views.\u201d PewDiePie\u2019s Fortnite stream sent him to the top of YouTube\u2019s trending page for gaming, and reportedly saw over 300,000 live viewers. His plan seemed to pan out, as his subscriber count shot up 50,000 subs during the broadcast\u2019s duration. While PewDiePie now sits at over 83 million subscribers, the margin between both channels continues to dwindle, with T-Series just under 100,000 subs away from overtaking YouTube\u2019s biggest independent creator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
