Chaotic Evil: Some dude 'hacked' 50k printers that were open to the public and printed a message that the owner should subscribe to PewDiPie.

@irene Have his vids become better again? I was subscribed til like 2015 or so until his videos mostly consisted of screaming in swedish.

Also his fanbase is obnoxious as fuck.

@gathurian his content is childish now. I used to love his gaming videos back then

Weev did something similar in 2016.

@irene Yeah, fuck that guy. I don't get his appeal. He's boring.

The videos are generally meaningless, mindless crap.

...which means he's very successful, as that's what most kids seem to be after these days.

@retard username checks out as usual and you seem to be part of the underage audience.

@telephantasm @gathurian @irene @AlmondSauce Both his current and or the content he grew up on, wasn't and isn't up my alley, but the type of content he grew on was definitely annoying to keep seeing on the frontpage or suggestions and it was clearly targeted towards the younger audience (he admitted multiple times).

Nowadays he stopped pretending and is atleast somewhat sane, though as said, even now when he grew up to be something, it is just mostly drama and cheap content.

Just to make it clear: he was childish and acting retarded in the past, but now his content is atleast somewhat sane.

@irene ok it's cancer but T-series is somehow even worse

(At least it's not the Paul brothers tho!)

@woodworks Why would you watch T-series?! I am an Indian and the content still makes me gag (except for *some* mainstream music). I can't imagine someone outside of India putting themselves through the misery of T-series. The only reasons it's successful are the population of India and the 1GB per day free internet all the mobile carriers are offering these days.

I like his book review series. Despite any reservations you have against the guy, you have to commend him for exposing the younger generation to fantastic literature such as Mishima and Murakami.

What other multimillion subscribed channels can say the same?

@rithvikp also sub bot but hey, YouTube fraud team doesn't care about big corporations

YouTube as a whole has ruined their platform by pandering to corporate greed, especially with the copystriking. Google's "don't be evil" is just a pile of bullshit so they can hide the fact that they're the worst of the bunch

@woodworks 'Don't be evil' is no more since May this year:
