ryanripley 86,575 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 In a Dec. 2 video, PewDiePie declared that he would delete his channel once it hit 50 million subscribers, expressing frustration with changes YouTube apparently made to its recommended-videos section that he claimed resulted in a loss of views. LOS ANGELES—YouTube megastar PewDiePie, the most popular creator on the platform, has reached 50 million followers—and the gaming vlogger and comic says he will carry through on his threat to delete the channel on Friday over a dispute with the Google-owned platform about declining pageviews. PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, tweeted Thursday, Dec. 8, that he will "delete tomorrow 5pm gmt," which would be 11 a.m. Central in the U.S. The YouTuber notched his 50 millionth subscriber worldwide around 4 p.m. CT Thursday. However, it's still unclear how serious Kjellberg is about his vow to delete the channel. The Swedish-born YouTuber, now based in the U.K., has a penchant for pranks and showmanship. PewDiePie (whose current profile pic on the site is of Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg) has delighted in tweeting fake news about himself, and his Twitter account was briefly suspended in August after joking that he had joined the Islamic terrorist group ISIS. PewDiePie's declaration to reboot his YouTube channel at 50 million subscribers seems aimed at grabbing the attention of YouTube higher-ups, as well as goosing video views with his theatrics.

Logan 20,742 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 He's already a millionaire, I wouldn't be surprised if he just deleted it and started a new one. It's not like it matters anyways, revenue comes from ads not subscribers, so he would still be getting just about the same amount of views on his new channel. I'm not sure why this is even a thing.

I'm not sure why this is even a thing. he claims his views have been declining by a big chunk due to youtube unsubscribing people from channels and not letting them know when a new video is out and offering videos of channels people have no interest in https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
