Unless one has been living under the proverbial rock, one has heard of PewDiePie, the British-Swedish YouTuber who has the biggest subscriber base of any individual on the platform. He is the second most popular YouTuber in history; second only to T-Series. He has a whopping 102 million subscribers so clearly a lot of people like to watch his videos. All those people were understandably sad when the Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg announced his last video because he was taking a break.
So he unscrews a bottle and has a drink and then does whatever it is that the does which his followers like so much. He announces that he is taking a break and says he is not sure when he is coming back.
PewDiePie clarifies that he is not quitting, but that he is taking a break. So what will he do every day, he wonders.
The man literally has legions of devoted, loyal followers. They are clearly sad to hear the news of the sabbatical.
Fans were just doing their thing and then came the notification of a new video. They were happy until they actually watched it. And then, Blammo!
He entertained people with regularly churned-out content for over ten years.
The guy has been around a long time and has created a lot of content. He has touched a lot of lives.
PewDiePie has more male fans than female fans. So the guys are really unhappy.
Apparently the subreddit will be happy? Not sure those guys in the picture are happy or really, really unhappy.
At least the 9-year-olds are.
It’s a big internet joke that the average age of PewDiePie video watchers is 9 years.
So apparently that is a deeply dismayed demographic right now: 9-year-olds.
Apparently he was like a father to all his fans.
Everyone is like “he was like a father to me’.
Why did so many think of him as their father? Because they are all nine apparently.
One CNN article expressed the view that it was about time the man took a break; that his content was getting annoying and repetitive.
The article and its writer received a lot of hate.
Many will miss PewDiePie a lot. Please come back soon, was the tenor of a lot of tweets.
There is good news and bad news for fans. The good news is that he not dead; just on a break. The bad news is no one knows when he’ll be back. Meanwhile, all the 9-year-old guys are really unhappy.
