PewDiePie tests the limits of YouTube\u2019s new harassment policy Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg took another shot at YouTube\u2019s new harassment policy during his December 15 upload by reacting to some questionable memes. YouTube\u2019s most popular content creator PewDiePie hasn\u2019t been too thrilled with the video-hosting service\u2019s latest harassment policy \u2013 which they rolled out on December 11. The Swedish star, who has been vocal about his criticisms of the new rules, combated them during his latest upload by reacting to content that pushes the envelope. The Swedish YouTuber reached over 102 million followers in 2019. PewDiePie reacts to edgy memes to combat harassment policy The popular YouTuber has slammed the platforms harassment policy in the past, calling it \u201cstupid\u201d and arguing that it fails to distinguish the difference between a joke and actual bullying. Pewds used his latest upload titled \u201cI will get in trouble for this\u201d to test the policy\u2019s limits by reacting to the \u2018Cursed Comments\u2019 forum on Reddit, where he read submissions that contained vulgar language, sexual jokes, and taboo subjects. After reading a submission that had violence in the subject, he mocked the updated rules. \u201cIt was a joke, YouTube! It was a joke! But he said it! How am I supposed to interpret it? Oh God, he\u2019s dog whistling to other groups,\u201d the 30-year-old said. (Timestamp 01:16 for mobile users.) Each time he read an edgy joke from the Reddit forum, a disclaimer flashed at the bottom of his screen that read \u201cThe comments made in this video are purely sarcasm, or hyperbole. Do not take me seriously! PewDiePie does not encourage or endorse anything in this video!\u201d The YouTube king seems worn down by the platform\u2019s changes, which was demonstrated in his December 14 upload.\u201dYouTube 2019 everyone! It just keeps getting better and better,\u201d he said sarcastically, before continuing. \u201cThat\u2019s what I enjoy the most. The step by step improvement that keep occurring!\u201d He also pointed out that the platform is tough on how it enforces its policies. \u201cThe thing I\u2019ve learned about YouTube\u2019s policies is that it doesn\u2019t matter what they say. What matters is how they enforce it. And we\u2019ve already seen how it\u2019s done!\u201d the Swede said. (Timestamp 00:23 for mobile users.) PewDiePie recently announced that he is taking a break from making videos on YouTube in 2020, explaining that he\u2019s \u201ctired\u201d \u2013 although he said he will clarify more later on what pushed him to this decision. Despite his frustrations, the popular entertainer has had an incredible year, reaching 100 million subscribers in August, and getting married in the same month. He was also named the most watched channel on the platform in the annual Rewind video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
