PewDiePie slams YouTube after data reveals why he doesn\u2019t trend in the US YouTube \/ PewDiePie \/ Coffee BreakYouTuber \u2018Coffee Break\u2018 uploaded a very informative video all about YouTube\u2019s Trending tab and why original content creators are getting shafted, and Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg had some strong words to say about the data. In the video titled \u2018What 40,000 Videos Tell Us About The Trending Tab\u2019, Coffee Break goes into great detail about how YouTube seems to favor traditional media such as ESPN, Jimmy Kimmel, and The Ellen Show, rather than content creators. He then specifically talks about PewDiePie, looking into statistics that show why the Swedish-born YouTuber barely trends at all in the United States compared to other countries \u2013 even ones where English isn\u2019t their first language. Upon going over CoffeeBreak\u2019s video in his own upload titled \u2018KSI is Cancelled\u2019, PewDiePie is clearly bothered by the data concerning content creators and says, \u201cI think generally YouTubers have been seen as something \u2018unsafe\u2019, you know? You can\u2019t rest assured that every YouTuber is gonna be consistent with what they put out there in terms of sparking controversy. Generally traditional media is a lot more safe than that and that\u2019s why they\u2019re biased towards it.\u201d PewDiePie then looks over the data on himself, which showed that 45 of his videos trended in Canada, but only one of those trended in the United States. \u201c45. That means 45 times someone at YouTube went \u201cPewDiePie? Get him out of here! Oh my God, that\u2019s amazing,\u201d the Swedish-born YouTuber laughs. \u201cIt\u2019s about what YouTube deems \u2018safe\u2019 content. I wonder how 44 of my videos\u2026 like what were those videos that were deemed unsafe if that was the case?\u201d \u201cJust delete the Trending tab, please, I\u2019m sick of hearing about it. What\u2019s the point? It\u2019s just making people pissed off.\u201d (Timestamp of 10:50 for mobile viewers) It\u2019s easy to see why PewDiePie is concerned about the way YouTube handles their Trending tab, not only for himself but for other YouTubers as well, as it does appear that they might have a bias towards traditional media outlets over original content creators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
