UPDATE: Popular YouTuber Markiplier may have saved PewDiePie at the last second Markiplier, PewDiePie – YouTubePopular YouTuber Mark \u2018Markiplier\u2019 Fischbach has weighed in on the war against Bollywood label T-Series, which is currently competing with Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg to become the most subscribed channel on YouTube. Markiplier went live in a broadcast on December 2, appropriately titling his stream, \u2018I Literally Won\u2019t Shut Up Until You Subscribe To PewDiePie.\u2019 During his 48-minute-long spiel, Mark advocated for his followers to subscribe to the YouTube king \u2013 who was just barely pulling ahead of T-Series by 100,000 subscribers prior to his upload. Many YouTubers across the space were anticipating Pewd\u2019s inevitable defeat, with the likes of Drama Alert host Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem providing regular updates of T-Series\u2019 slow climb to the top. However, after Mark\u2019s stream went live, PewDiePie\u2019s channel saw a massive increase in followers, rising to a count of over 73,268,000 \u2013 as opposed to his previous count of 73,127,000 subs. This moment marks a rather humorous shift in Mark\u2019s support for PewDiePie, who had bemoaned both he and Jacksepticeye\u2019s alleged lack of solidarity during his struggle to keep his top spot. Damn @markiplier just saved @pewdiepie ! pic.twitter.com\/IazmX7tNmy \u2014 KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) December 2, 2018 This isn\u2019t the first time PewDiePie has bounced back from a seemingly inevitable demise at the hands of T-Series, either; YouTuber MrBeast was able to bring a huge surplus of subscribers to PewDiePie after creating a massive advertising campaign throughout his entire city, allegedly buying every billboard in the area in an effort to boost awareness of the Swede\u2019s channel. Mark has pulled through in a time of dire need, sending Pewd\u2019s channel soaring above his competitor \u2013 for now. UPDATE: PewDiePie has since thanked Markiplier in a video on December 3, revealing that his channel had received over 500,00 subscribers thanks to Mark\u2019s efforts. He shouted out Jacksepticeye, as well, who had Tweeted out support for Pewds in the thick of battle on December 2. While Pewds called the fight with T-Series \u201ctoo fun,\u201d he was likewise humbled by the experience, and made sure to credit other fans who gave him their support in a myriad of creative ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
