Pewdiepie is now youtube's most subscribed and popular channel

hmm, okay

I was just curious.

No, not at all, unless that's a new thing of his. Besides, outside of his videos and "Pewdiepie" persona, Felix is genuinely a nice person. You can dislike his jokes, you can dislike his brand of entertainment, but there's really no reason to hate the person himself.

Even after he full-out stated "your extra views get me extra cash!"

Can I have context on that, please?

The original comment that he posted was deleted, but it's all over the Internet anyways, so there's the context

basically from what I've heard he was being "trolled" by two other people, so in a fit of rage he pointed out that he makes money off youtube viewers' extra views on his videos just to get back at them

which is not the way youtubers should respond

How should they respond? By lying, and saying they don't make money?

They should respond in a little more grace, perhaps by reminding them that they don't have to watch their videos, or to not even respond at all. It's not as if two trolls are going to change everything by typing out a couple of words to piss off said youtuber, but responding to said comments in such a way will.

No matter what, never bring money into the arguments

I don't see how bringing up that he makes money is such a terrible thing.

But then again I do tend to be rather insensitive to people's feelings, so I could be totally wrong.

He still made the mistake. I respect him enough to try to amend for his mistakes, but if he was any good in the first place, then he wouldn't have made the mistake in the first place. Things like that are going to carry on throughout his career, all because he didn't like what a couple of people had to say.

It basically points out that as long as they're doling in the money, they don't really care about anything else. Obviously most youtubers do what they do for money, but they also do it for the fans. If he liked his fans even a little bit, he wouldn't have completely left them out of an argument between him and a few hateful trolls. Heck, even I can dole out better arguments, and I'm the worst arguer alive, especially when I'm arguing for something I know is wrong.

But hey, he should have just let them be. At the end of the day, they made him look like an idiot, and he gained 12,000,000 subscribers which is like 1% of the planet's population. Everyone's a winner.

Amen. HAHAHAHA.
 
The main index of the forum abbreviates this topic as "Pewdiepie is now you..."

Should I be worried?
