UPDATE: One PewDiePie fan hacked printers across the globe in an effort to boost his subscribers RazerzoneYep, you read that right \u2013 one die-hard PewDiePie fan has hacked printers worldwide, asking users to subscribe to the Swede\u2019s YouTube channel in light of his current duel with T-Series. While Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has been the most subscribed channel on YouTube for years, he is now being contested by Bollywood label T-Series \u2013 and their battle is quickly coming to a head. To combat the Bollywood menace, one computer whiz used his hacking skills to infiltrate printers across the globe, running a script that forced them to print out an elongated spiel that urged users to subscribe to PewDiePie. \u201cPewDiePie, the currently most subscribed to channel on YouTube, is at stake of losing his position as the number one position by an Indian company called T-Series that simply uploads videos of Bollywood trailers and campaigns,\u201d the speech began. https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/platform\/amp\/2018\/11\/30\/18119576\/pewdiepie-printer-hack-t-series-youtube The printouts ended with an ASCII illustration of Pewd\u2019s famous \u2018brofist\u2019 logo, after providing a \u2018to-do\u2019 list of steps to help support the channel. In a hilarious finale, the hacker even noted their victims that their printers were connected to the internet, asking them to \u201cplease fix that.\u201d PewDiePie has since tweeted out the Verge\u2019s article on the subject, simply writing, \u201cDesperate times call for desperate measures.\u201d Desperate times calls for desperate measures.. https:\/\/t.co\/ltWSh9RPOs \u2014 \u01bf\u0aef\u03c9\u10eb\u027f\u0aef\u01bf\u027f\u0aef (@pewdiepie) November 30, 2018 The ingenious hacker isn\u2019t the only fan to have gone above and beyond the call of duty, either. YouTuber MrBeast bought out every billboard in his city to advertise PewDiePie\u2019s channel, while YouTuber Justin Roberts bought a million dollar billboard in Times Square to help aid the cause. The hacker has since come forward with a statement regarding his plan, thanks to a series of publicized Twitter DMs with Drama Alert host Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem. The hacker, going by the name of \u2018TheHackerGiraffe,\u2019 claimed that he essentially combined \u201ctwo ideas into one\u201d by spreading awareness of device vulnerability and promoting PewDiePie\u2019s channel simultaneously. \u201cAlert people to how serious this can be, and give PewDiePie some media coverage, as I\u2019m a huge fan,\u201d the hacker explained. \u201cThat\u2019s all there is to it.\u201d T-Series is now very close to beating PewDiePie, with the YouTube \u2018king\u2019 being less than 100,000 subscribers away from an ultimate defeat. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GApglHuf0ro&t=477s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
