A few weeks ago, many YouTubers, including PewDiePie, had reported that a change in YouTube’s algorithm had made it so that their videos were not being made visible to their subscribers, instead more clickbait video being promoted and favored by YouTube by getting them to the trending page. Some even reported issues as egregious as being unsubscribed from their favorite channels.
PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, made a video about these same issues and showed concern that his videos were getting drastically lower views than ever before, and had also been unsubbed from H3H3, a channel he watches regularly. He also had his fans reporting to him that they were not seeing his new videos coming up on their feed, and would often miss out on his latest content.
He then went on to say that, out of frustration, and wanting to start fresh, he would delete his channel upon reaching 50 million subscribers. This got the internet in a frenzy. PewDiePie has the biggest channel on YouTube by a huge margin, and him abandoning his base of over 49 million (at that time) subscribers was an event in and of itself.
And today was D-Day. He crossed 50 million subscribers.
Well, the internet just got trolled.
Turns out, Pewds had another channel that goes by the name of JackSepticEye2. In his latest video he goes on to say how a small joke of his got blown way out of proportion, and went on to delete that second channel of his, that had over a million subscribers.
That’s it. Shows over, YouTube goes on as usual. Pews will still be doing his thing.
