I totally missed him being a Youtube jackoff and only watched my first Pewdiepie video last year when he was degoogling. Because I was doing that as well. Then saw his Linux video and that made me realise Linux was for me.
So while people might think he's some sort of douche, to me he's just fucking brilliant! So funny and smart, and really wants to help people escape from the awful internet we have now, where everything is sucking up your data. He gives great advice on how to do that and does it in such a funny way.
People keep mentioning his redemption arc lol, but i've just seen the great stuff so for me, abs love his stuff! Highly recommended!
Best thing for Linux, having such a huge Youtuber praising it so much!
Well he's 36 now. Think he's realized that it'd be cringe to behave like a teenager for much longer and his original fans are all adults now anyway, so he's decided to aim his new videos at them rather than getting new teenage fans. Put it this way, he had 100 million subscribers 7 years ago, he has 110 million now. One has to assume his average subscriber age has risen a lot in recent years.
Honestly great that this is how it's gone. I find him way more relatable now than when his fame was at peak.
I like that you like him now... But i don't think the main reason he's become cool now is due to him... not wanting to be cringe lol.
Obv yeah the audience n he grew but it sorta takes agency away from him by knowing its all bullshit haha. Like yes, he's a huge YouTube star but he's also now huge advocate or privacy, security and mental health.
He's not just doing this cos he doesnt wannabe cringe.
Honestly, cringe was an oversimplification in the first place on my behalf. My take is that he's realized that he can either keep doing what he did for over a decade (put out cringe content, which would be even more cringe as he reaches 40 soon), or he can actually do something useful with the reach he has, and be someone his son can actually be proud of. And he went with the latter, over the easy money of the former.
Okay yeah, thats a much more accurate picture.
I honestly think im glad i missed his cringe douche phase. I actually hate that whole influencer youtube bullshit.
But he really is not like those twats now lol
