I had known that PewDiePie existed for a long time but I never really watched it. I have no idea why I avoided him but I did. I started watching his videos about a month ago and now I am pretty sure I watch at least one every day. There have been many days that I started watching his stuff at an inappropriate time of night like 1am then I look down at the time and it is now 330 and I have screwed up the next day because of it.
I find him exceptionally entertaining. His sense of humor, the way that he makes fun of himself, and his involvement with the latest memes is just something that really appeals to my inner nerd.
So I don't know how it started, but Pewds is in a battle with T-series to see who can be the youtube channel with the most subscribers. At the moment Pewdiepie is still on top but not by much. T-series (who i know nothing about really) is either cheating wonderfully, or has done something remarkable in the past 6 months as they went from having very little video views (in relationship to their number of subs) to having the number one amount of views.
Keep in mind that neither one of them are #1 or #2, they are currently battling for #3 and #4 spot.
I think that one of the best things that could have happened for T-series was for Pewdiepie to take notice of them, by even mentioning them he almost certainly made people aware of them that wouldn't have ever even known about them otherwise - like myself for example.
Look, i know it is just a silly contest and it doesn't really matter anyway. It's not like there is a prize for whoever wins this battle and as far as I know no one has actually determined and end-date for this thing.
Even if Pewds loses, I don't think he should feel too bad about it. He does make between 3 and 20 million dollars a year off his channel and he also makes an amount of money that is not disclosed on product endorsements and merchandise sales.
Anyway, if you subscribe to Pewdiepie tell me you did so and i will 100% upvote you on this post.
I suppose in an ideal situation he would take notice and could start putting his content on Dtube. That would be huge and yes, i realize this is exceptionally unlikely - never hurts to try.
