In this video, Emp complains about the corprate-ization of YouTube while partnering with a corporate brand himself! No massive hypocrisy to be found here...
Oh look, it's a channel update located beneath the [show more] button of a YouTube comment. I bet everyone is gonna see this.
The tentative video order from now on is gonna look like this: A. Big-Time Video (YouTube Geographic, Never Ever). -Highly Edited, Researched, Scripted B. Unscripted Commentary (Like this Video) -Less Editing, but I can make them much faster. I will use this format to give my opinions on topical events, as well as other experimental ideas.
These videos will probably alternate back-and-forth into the near future. Minute Memes is most likely cancelled, as I do not enjoy making the series anymore. (Apologies to the fans of the series.)
Green Simpsons YTPs are never cancelled, so expect me to slip one in when you least expect it.
Hey Emplemon you seem to be a huge fan of WWE with all your YTPs and References How about a random talk video or commentary/explanation in general on why WWE's product today will never be as great as it was before
I like the schedule idea. I would simply mention memes you like during unscripted commentaries, instead of a full series. You said yourself that memes are getting made and killed faster, there's no point in making a series on them, because by the time you're done editing, they're likely on their deathbed.
I just wanted to say that I am able to relate to you more than the conventional YouTube celeb because you play TF2, and I play TF2, I am a fan of your current work and I hope you will drive all the YouTube zombies to wake up and demand for this cite to be fixed
Hey EmpLemon just curious if you ever see this, but what do you think of something like BitChute? I think it's an interesting idea, but I don't think it will ever catch on like YouTube.
EmpLemon How would you feel about a Diddy Kong Racing sequel that added characters from My Hero Academia, Little Witch Academia, Kirby, The Amazing World of Gumball, *Persona 3-5,* Family Guy, Sonic, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Digimon Tamers, The Simpsons, Invader Zim, Pokemon Sun and Moon anime including Serena from X and Y, Crash Bandicoot and RWBY with Haruko from FLCL, Hat Kid, Popuko and Pipmi from Pop Team Epic, Bomberman, Doom Slayer, Beavis and Butthead also being there? Kirby gets pushed as a second Protagonist to go along with Diddy Kong.
Imagine racing against Akko with Izuku, shooting a missile at Gumball, Gumball, Izuku, and Akko smoking pot with their friends, throwing an oil slick at Ren, Ryuji using a bat to knock opponents sideways, Ann using her whip to whip a nearby rival, Yusuke asking Momo if she’d be painted nude, Futaba showing everyone rule 34, Makoto dodging bombs that Bomberman planted on the race track, etc.
Emperor Lemon I agree with some of your arguments about the positive consequences for no swearing. However, this can be horrible for some channels and series like AVGN. Overall you have really good arguments and smart mature content that is entertaining. Keep up the entertainment.
You do realize that T-Series is a digital network, and PewDiePie is just one memey boi. If you make an account in India T-Series is literally on the front page of YouTube.
Funny that you commentated on YouTubers becomes salesmen for razors in one of your previous vids yet here you are, shilling for razors. (thumbs down and unsubscribed)
EmpLemon Interesting video emp But have you looked in the allegations on T series For view boting and people in India that if You make a YouTube account it automatically subscribes to t series? Have a calm day
What do you think of Kizuna Ai? Because I'm concerned that someone has managed to define 'Youtuber' in a way that a robotic corporate entity can understand and replicate.
I really hope that I'm not the only one who heavily prefers the unscripted style over scripted, not in the sense that I don't like long form commentary but that your unscripted delivery is much more pleasant to listen to since you seem much more relaxed and your delivery flows superior to how it flows when it's scripted. I'd love to see more and more videos like this in the future
Hey lemon listen this is not something I say often you are one of the smartest people on YouTube the truth is the real pewdiepie ha died along time ago back in the age of good content on his channel it all started way back when the dillion the hacker era started... Pewdiepie responded to him then it clicked in his head I can get good views off of recording responses then he took the 180 you mentioned and stop all his good gaming content and only made response videos then moved on to killing memes and finally T series will take off
Ha, he likely was auto-recommended by DSC and ran away with it. He did a great spin on selling the idea that it's terrible to buy into sponsored ads. I'm more likely to buy DSC now just out of irony (And I have a 2 year untrimmed beard). If EmpLemon gets money from bashing on DSC, I'll chip in. It could be one of the best ads they get in a while (per subscriber / viewer / buyer ratio), and if it works well enough, maybe EmpLemon could get other sponsors to literally steal profits from.
i dont think he is being challenged by t series, they do not get as many views as him. but honestly who will care except youtube that a corporate channel has risen to tje 1st place. pewdiepie will still be the legendary youtuber.
EmpLemon Its cool, i think having a bunch of people explaining the joke at once is what really leads to people killing memes so quickly. The longer normies dont understand the joke, the better.
Hey, I like your content when you enjoy making it, because it shows when you enjoy making something, so make something that you enjoy making, and others will enjoy it as well.
Fuck, man. I really liked Minute Memes. That kinda sucks. But Hey, better you can it than it be twisted into some pale shadow of its former self. But who's gonna review Memes now? Fantano's gone, you're out, and I don't think Pewdiepie has the chops to chop into some memes. Welp, unsubbed, back to Behind the Meme I go.
I agree with you about the change of era, about the fact that users' opinions don't count anymore... But the most interesting question would be: "WHAT THE HECK WOULD REPRESENT T-SERIES IN THE GLOBAL YOUTUBE COMMUNITY?" or: "WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUTUBE WHEN T-SERIES WILL BE N.1???" The major recommended videos will be T-Series content! Is YouTube gonna become "YouTube India"??? Or will YouTube just change the name into "T-Series & The Others", or something like that??? PewDiePie is still the leader of the real YouTubers, which main objective is to share content to other people, especially to the ones who subscribes to the respective channels... But, as you said, many YouTubers do this just for money, and the market saturated (something like that... I don't know how to translate it xD), so they needed to make some changes, especially on the "Recommended" section. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but this change is not just on YouTube. Businesses and money are the main priority... More then ever! See the controvertial Article 13 in Europe, and the strict Copyright laws already applied... I've seen the change: until a year ago you were able to find everything on Internet, now you have to pay, and many content which was free in the past got copyrighted, even pictures!!! And it's not gonna be just "premium content", so you can subscribe and still able to find everything, but content is spreaded in many markets, so for some content of a brand you should subscribe and pay monthly in a portal; then, for the same content, but from another brand, you should subscribe and pay monthly in another portal, etc. And have you notice how crazy politics and governments are becoming, in general? (Not going on details, btw...) Knowing all of this, DOES FREEDOM STILL EXIST? Not trying to be Communist, but aren't we stepping back instead of moving forward? It might be correct to give credits and pay the sources where we go, and I have some examples: journalists & news networks, photographers, cosplayers, ... They would not just work as slaves, thanks to this. BUT THERE MUST BE A WAY TO MAKE EVERYONE "HAPPY". In my opinion, even though it's utopic, there should be a "global and neutral market", in which you have just one user, and control multiple subscriptions, or to have an unique subscription for the same content from many brands, and be rewarded by some "gifts" (a simple example: THE NEWS. We were able to check multiple networks for free just by searching on Google News. Now, slowly, news are becoming pay-to-watch, and you should pay each brand to have the news. But some news networks tell a story of the truth, and in other news networks the same news are told in another way, or they are absent! But, thanks to this global network, the users may subscribe to what they want, and, if not happy, they can unsubscribe any time. So that would be an advantage for everyone, especially to the ones who create the content, so, if statistics tells a company that many users starts to unsubscribe, they will question themselves how to improve. And this is also an advantage to those who don't know how to use Internet properly.... and they are not just elder people, but also average people as well. They wouldn't be able to control everything they subscribe to.) Sorry if I went off topic, but this video made me think about all of this, and I'd like to share my thoughts.
IlCit Yuriofwind said something similar, and that’s the saddest part about this gradual shift. You’ll never get to experience anyone’s personal style anymore, just the flavor of month games, memes and storytime animators
Davilima Lol ah... same... though, I’m a bit older than you... I do wish I was around for the good old days... now, youtube is.. well, empty, and lifeless..
Might as well try to find another website then. YouTube is going to be destroyed by corporations. YouTube isn't YouTube anymore and is now CorporateTube
@Davilima Lol yeah man, i’m 15, about to be 16, i started watching Youtube just as the “Broadcast Yourself” era was on it’s way out, so that’s kinda depressing, missed the era by a year or two
Communists? Why communists? Communism isn't bad on small scales such as a family or a very small town, but on larger scales it becomes quite evil if the government is the ones calling the shots.
I would like to explain Capitalism and Communism Vs Corporatism because many often get confused. Capitalism is not a form of government, capitalism simply means you own yourself and the effects of your actions.
YouTube isn't capitalism, it is corporatism. Google doesn't define it correctly for obvious political reasons, but corporatism is when companies are embedded with the government rather than separate.
A young girl selling lemonade on a corner is capitalism. Having the police come by and tell her "That's illegal" because the guy that owns the gas station didn't like that, is corporatism. Very few places in the world are capitalistic to the true meaning of the word and America is not one of them.
Nah, what we need is everyone from the left, right, up and down to stand together against the tyranny of the corporations before we have no ground left to stand on.
Aaron Lewis honestly I think this sort of hierarchy is inevitable in human society. The Wild West is now tamed, all there is to do is forge a new Wild West. I’ve grown more affectionate for small forums again recently for that reason. It’s a slice of old internet.
@Ultimate Powa communism is bad even in small scale, like Jonestown or any fucking suicidal sect has ended. The people end up starving and enslaved pretty fast by the commie piramid scheme.
commies keep bringing up a commune in Barcelona, not realizing they mostly operate just like any private company would.

GenericWhiteMale there are better shows than spongebob. It’s not about if there are better. It’s about the uniqueness of a topics existence and the impact it’s had.
@Koumori Chinpo you know, the funny thing is, even if felix filled that description, it really is true. I don't see anyone on this era of YouTube achieving that amount of success solely on gaming like he did. If you really think it's a bold, improbable claim, well why don't you give it a go? (Not being sarcastic, I'm actually encouraging you to try to be the modern pewdiepie)
@GenericWhiteMale he said "be like" not be better. In your opinion there is better, but objectively there was and never will be another YouTubed like him
I remember the first youtube channel to break 1 million subscribers was Fred, the kid who would speed up his voice for epic awesomesauce fun. Nigahiga eventually over took him though but the top 3 were Nigahiga, Fred and Smosh and it stayed that way for a long time. This was about 10 years ago now and everything was so different then.
I honestly feel bad for Tobuscus. He gets suuuuch less views nowadays after getting over so many subs. I'm not a fan of the guy but it makes me feel bad whenever I see that.
Pewdiepie didn't sell out to Hollywood group think, victim culture and identity politics. (Like Taylor Swift just did.) He didn't "endorse" any politician or jump on a political virtue signaling train. If you can't be controlled, they discard you. So much respect to Pewdiepie for staying true.
@Teodor Gumovsky Funnily enough its the right that has acted more dogmatic than the left ever has. Thunderfoot makes a video that devistes from the mai. Consensus and he got absolutely shit on and attacked for it. Every right winger has been either indoctrinated by their parents, paid by the rich, or is rich themselves.
@Babieca the great coming from a right winger who isnt religous, whos parents arent right wing, arent rich and isnt rich himself i can safely tell you to go shove it.
Communism Works Because I Say It Does I remember in around 2017 there were articles bashing her saying “Taylor hasn’t said anything against Orange Man and that’s worse than supporting him” or some similar garbage
Peter Carioscia2019-07-08 17:42:14 (edited 2019-07-08 17:43:17 )
@Babieca the great wrong. Many, like me are voting Republican because the left has gone off the deep end. I'm still a registered democrat but I cannot in good conscience vote for their nonsensical same-think bullshit.
Edit: not to mention I come from a middle class, democrat voting household. The new wave of right voting people are just young people who are fed up with the insanity of the left.
Chad Sponge2019-12-15 06:53:00 (edited 2019-12-15 06:55:31 )
The thing to remember about Taylor Swift is that her parents had backgrounds in finance, so she wasn't exactly born into a working class background like Pewdiepie. Naturally, folk born from wealthier backgrounds are the ones who tend to be culturally left wing to the point of sheer insanity (as well as being prone to narcissism and looking down on the poor), yet not caring in the slightest about actual issues that affect the working class. Meanwhile, working class folk and rich people who are self made tend to be more humble and understanding of real issues, rather than resorting to the smug virtue signalling typical of Hollywood elites.
In short, it makes sense that some stuck up piece of shit like Taylor Swift who never had to struggle through life would be so out of touch as to focus on trivial "woke" bs that doesn't concern ordinary people whereas guys like Pewdiepie stay relatable and resist Buzzfeed-tier nonsense even after they hit it big.
Honestly, I'm getting tired of all of these uninteresting, cliche, normie, unfunny, copycat, vlogger YouTuber's. They're really annoying, and get views solely off of clickbait thumbnails. No effort put into the videos.
Which is why I adore Lemon. He always makes engaging content to the point you get excited watching his maybe fifty minute to an hour long video. Not only that, but you get EVERYTHING from it. You may even hit replay.
Emplemon's channel is one of the only YouTube channel that has videos that I can rewatch more than 5 times. Whether it's 5 minutes or 50 minutes, the quality doesn't change. And I don't rewatch his videos to prove a point that I'm a big fan, but because I genuinely actually enjoy watching his videos.
I remember when I was 12 autisticly laughing Emperor Lemons SpongeBob YouTube Poops thinking he was a genius. And now as an older autistic human, I now realize he is a living meme god and his content takes a very high IQ to understand.
like the tubes in the ministry of truth where wrong facts are sent down the "delete for ever tube" and change reality. 1984 took a while but it finally seams possible.
Bolony 21 there’s a few videos on the tech boom in india. There are absolutely 65 million people with youtube accounts there. Technology is starting to surpass the limitations of class and caste there and I’m pretty sure they have a population much greater than every english speaking country combined. It’s a scary thought but eventually India and China will be dominating the internet.

its no longer economical to make videos by yourself - you have to upload daily video - atleast 10 mins - they must have a high watch time- while avoiding getting demonetize - and fighting the fake copyright claims you get on every video
writing, filming and editing videos with such high standards every day is impossible
Kinda why I like to promote alternatives to YouTube. I want to spark again that wild west feeling YouTube once had. Rather it's dailymotion that picks up the torch, or bit chute, or whatever. We gotta do it. We can't do it here anymore.
@Joe its full of bots. I mean look at the views of some of its videos, it barely gets 100k views in a day. Thats bad from a channel with 65million+. subscribers
The Girl With the Mousey Hair it’s not impossible, but at the same time their growth is a damn near straight diagonal line. Not to mention, JT found their videos on a view/like botting site. It’s likely that they also sub bot.
I honestly feel like YouTube is becoming one of "those" companies after T-Series rising. It used to be a cool company where anyone could Broadcast Themselves. YouTube's old motto, Broadcast Yourself. It's basiclly gonna become a site full of big Mainstream companies like T-Series. It wasn't like that when PewDiePie was on top. After T-Series, a mainstream company gets on top, companies are gonna dominate.
You know, this kinda reminda me when people said they were moving to canada if trump was elected. Everyone's just moved to twitch, using yt as a video dump, ever since yt became G O O G L E
@dsjgfx xkhrx an organized group of people with a particular purpose, such as a business Even though you can use your own common sense. Pewdiepie only has a group of people. T-series is an organization with many working for it.
like some guy said he will stay number 1 in our hearts but when you look at it in a technical way he is a company and he pays people from what he makes in his videos
@denis vieru PewDiePie is a business, he's not a corporation. But it's still a business. He's definitely not independent anymore. You would be surprised at how many people work for him, I'm guessing he has entire teams helping him out... Multiple teams...
@TheSP33DFREAK Do u have any proof for that? I'm pretty sure he only had 2 (now 1) editors, but it would make sense for him to have more people working for him
youtube is reaching its peak, eventually, we'll reach maximum downward spiral, no one but the chosen few will remember, and recant its stories, emplemon will be one of those few
I never really liked PewDiePie that much, but I can at least say that he's a real person with a real personality rather than a corporate puppet. The end of PewDiePie's reign represents the end of an era that ANYONE has the potential to make it big on YouTube, already most big channels are run by huge corporations that post tasteless 10-minute videos and couldn't give two shits about their viewers.
What? You never noticed that YouTube removed their "Broadcast yourself" slogan? Remember when you searched YouTube on Google in idk, 2007 and it said "Youtube: Broadcast Yourself" and it was that exact way for years. Was ... That fact alone is proof enough
@vz24 I have been trying to leave this dumpster for some long time. Too bad I see some things of value, as those are not allowing me to leave. Slowly but surely, I will move on once the value items either dissapear or become devaluated. The future is not youtube but the future is in the internet.
YouTube has changed it's route the past two years. The last time all creators had complete freedom to make whatever content they wanted, was 2016. Now they're just looking for what makes them the most money, killing off actual creators and promoting corporations and family friendly dog shit. It's becoming more and more like an online TV channel.
A corporation ALWAYS ruled youtube (well, since 2008). ABC corporation. They also own Google.
They just changed their minds for money. You know. Turned corporate...
It kinda was bound to happen. We delude ourselves into thinking it wouldn't, and they made us double down on that belief with the "broadcast yourself" slogan and the YOU in their name.
But hey, nobody is forcing you to watch it. This corporate shilling will ultimately be their downfall. We fled TV because it turned corporate. We nested in Youtube because it wasn't corporate, and they don't seem to get it. What made Youtube great in the first place was indeed the "you" aspect of it. And there are already startups trying to cash in on the Youtube exodus.
No Blake, people are right to prefer the old YouTube because that's what it was supposed to be. The YouTube now, is YouTube without its "soul" what it was supposed to be. YouTube now, is not YouTube. It's corporatetube
when fred ended, there was smosh. when smosh ended, there was felix. but after felix, there doesnt seem to be just a regular channel. it will probably be some random ass company. thats the nail in the coffin for old youtube. the company has gotten rid of the spirit.
@GravityGunTV I don’t like pewdiepie but I still respect him for putting effort in to his videos. At least its more creative than generic gameplay videos.
@Gowtham Gunasekaran You're 100% right. After 1 year of deep introspection, I have realized my error in calling pewdiepie unfunny and unoriginal . When he put 7 tambourines on his head and screamed floor gang epicly, I finally grasped his creative genius.
One day I’ll show this video to my grandchildren to prove that Pewdiepie was once #1 on Youtube, and that Emperor Lemon did an ad read for razors. They’ll never believe any of it.
Another part of the loss of prestige and exclusivity associated with having the most most subscribers is ironically BECAUSE of that exclusivity. PewDiePie had been so far ahead of the game for so long that it was no longer realistic to surpass him. People kinda just stopped caring because coupled with the decreasing importance of subscribers, it sorta became a novelty thing. And a novelty is only prestigious as long as people still care enough to try to claim it. But when people saw he was probably never going to be dethroned by a regular person, they just lost interest.
Well, now that Felix has peeked (according to himself), all that there is left to do is wait for the "There Will Never Ever be Another YouTuber like PewDiePie" video.
I remember way back in 2013 I thought that PewDiePie's let's plays were the worst thing to happen to Youtube. At the time (and still, really) I was a much bigger fan of the researched and scripted style of the old somethingawful -style letsplays that were run by people like chuggaaconroy and Proton Jon. At the time I thought some guy screaming at the video game with his face plastered on the game, taking away from the interesting craftsmanship of the game itself was just so unimaginably brainless, there was just nothing to think about. It was just a guy and a webcam. The game itself had little value in those videos.
Little did I know this would become the basis for all of Youtube in the coming years.
Nowadays I partake in game development by making music for games. I still think that a major contributor to sparking my interest in game development was the let's plays from back then. People explaining the game's functions and showing little tricks and intricasies in them made me think of how games work behind the scenes for the first time. It made me research them further, I joined communities discussing games, fan communities making fangames. I got swept up in the projects and ended up forming connections that are now sort of employing me years later.
Nowadays, it's very clear that Youtube is no longer inspiring kids the same way it used to. What is Jake Paul going to inspire people to make? Or whatever fucking ToyInMyAssReview channel? Be shitty excuses of human beings on the internet and complain about toys? Exploit their future generations to really cause a collective inbreeding of ideas and a total loss of any educational value of the site? It's not Youtube suffering from it exclusively either. Reddit and Discord have overtaken the small forum communities of yesteryear, and replaced them with echochambers promoting circlejerking and avoiding any constructive discussion. Twitter is actively censoring any interesting discussion and artists have to post things they themselves don't really indulge in and have not created themselves or have the creative mindset to do even in order to gain some sort of attention and hope that even a little bit of that will bleed into their own creations.
I hope that soon enough a new platform will open up. I will eagerly await to ride out the wild west of a new counterculture movement. And by god do we need it right now.
I mean, the content that is provided is radically different. PewDiePie built his channel from the ground up doing lets plays and reaction videos. PewDiePie had no prior following, no investors, he started off totally unknown and completely broke. From nothing, he became the 'King' of YouTube. He is basically the embodiment of what I call the "YouTube Dream", the ability for some nobody to become famous without any prior training or connections through their own talent. T series has financial backing from the music industry, a multi-billion dollar industry with billions of consumers, fully branded and already famous. T series is about the furthest thing away from what a "YouTuber" is.
T series may end of being the most subscribed channel, but PewDiePie will remain the most subscribed _YouTuber_.
I'm not sure I'd say Pewdiepie got his initial massive following from talent, per say. It was more of a "perfect storm" scenario where he happened to be in the right place at the right time for about 5 different things that all played a role in spontaneously catapulting him into the position of the most exposed member of a huge new market. Not to say the dude has no talent, but I don't think it plays much of a factor past him being at least likable enough for people to keep watching. Most people that were at least moderately internet-savvy back then would have been able to do the same had they happened to be in his position.
He's not the most popular youtuber in terms of subscibers, but he's still doing good. He didn't sell out, he's still making good content, and my respect for him has grown ever since the two shitstorms he's been through. Besides, to be the reigning king of youtube means nothing anymore, to be the king you have to be the leftist puppet that google wants and Felix isn't that. Better to be a peasant but your own man than be a king and a prisoner. Great video.
For as long as I can, I'll fight on the side of independent YouTubers. Even if T-Series wins the subscriber race, I'll keep on going. I want to bring back YouTube to the good old days where people could just be themselves without having to worry about audiences or the algorithm. PewDiePie will be forever, frankly. Nobody will actually praise T-Series for anything. I'll miss the days where I could watch YouTube Poops and people making a series of them playing with toys and figurines ( which is how I originally got here ) doing the most obnoxious shit and still be entertaining. As a kid, that's all I could've ever wanted. I'm turning 18 in July, and, yeah.... I didn't realize just how truly great it was to have those things until they were gone. I was happy back then, and I'm going to fight for those memories. As long as we're here and as long as we believe in the success of average people just having fun and being the audience that has fun with them, T-Series will never truly win.
Gotta agree. PewDiePie was the perfect face of YouTube. He didn't stoop to the Paul Bros's level of stupidity and has made content that he actually enjoys making. I don't think anyone who is genuinely a normal human being who creates content because they want to and enjoy it like PewDiePie will ever be #1 again. Seeing the direction this platform is going in, the top channels are most likely gonna be mainstream media outlets, large corporations, and celebrities and not really genuine, independent content creators. Enjoy him being #1 on YT while he still is. Because we might never have a day like it on this platform ever again.
Yes, this is the Apocalypse. PewDiePie became #1 around when Google+ took over, which I still KNOW had a WAY better YouTube than today.
Now, Google+ is collapsing. However, I think it's because Google saw that it actually had some people power, and Google doesn't like that. Guess what happened.
PewDiePie is the platform. I watch from science category, arts & animations, health-related channels, vloggers. You can see the Pewds influence raining down from the platform. It's sad to see Pewds losing his spot.
I think YouTube history can be divided into 3 periods:
Golden Age: Nov 2006-Mar 2012 The time when YouTube was still a young and emerging site. Before there was any monetization. YouTubers uploaded not for money to upload content they saw fit. Animators, mostly from Newgrounds, congregated to the site.
Silver Age: Mar 2012-Aug 2016 YouTube adjusts its algorithm to reward YouTubers not by views but by watch-time. This damages several popular YouTubers, most notably YouTube animators, who uploaded shorter content on an irregular basis. Gaming and YouTube drama videos arose at this time.
Dark Age: Aug 2016-present YouTube’s new guidelines and policies lead to censorship and demonetization for thousands of YouTubers. YouTubers who had made YouTube there full-time careers during the silver age beg for donations on Patreon and other crowd-funding sites.
+MΞMΞTIC WARFARΞ YouTube in 2005 was wild as fuck LOL, not quite sure why the fuck you just ignored the first entire year of YouTube existence. Also there no way YouTube golden age lasted till 2012, it ended in 2009 because monetisation became available for everyone, more and more cancerous junk channels came around by then.
@EmpLemon Dude, i just found your channel, and i dont even remember how, i even think it was accidentally, because i didnt expect that deep level of entertainment, i know i am a normie, but i am on a marathon right now, and i cant stop watching. Its like that magical feeling of entering a new world i remember from when i snuck into my parents office as a child to play roleplaying games on my fathers pc. Its absolute awsome, and everything else seems so unrelevant right now. Cheers
Youtube will always be about You. It’s all about finding the content creators You wanna watch, and if You don’t wanna watch theses bullshit companies, then You don’t have to. That’s one thing they’ll never be able to take away from us.
Yeah i actually hated pewdipie like a ton of people, until a few years ago where he got more mature. he changed from screaming and the dumb voice to talking plainly and just making good jokes, and informative humor. I was quite surprised when i found myself subbing.
Hey Emp, are you surprised at how long pewdiepie has lasted, and the movement that has sprung up around keeping him alive? Are you going to make a video about that? Plenty of people besides myself would love to see your pop on the matter.
When he started I kinda hated him, never have him a chance, but over a year ago I decided to watch some of his videos and now I am suscribed to him and see every new video he uploads... He is an honest good guy, he deserves the subs he have and more.
Same thing here but the opposite. I watched him back in late 2011 religiously until I stopped mid 2015 and almost the entirety of 2016. And once he stopped with the let's plays and started doing commentaries and meme reviews I got back into watching him way more.
Same, I didn't liked him because he was popular (I know real mature) but I gave Nima chance and know I will defend him forever with my fellow 9 year olds
Same i thought he was one the youtubers that had the mindset of Yelling=funny It was until the whole bridge thing that i started to watch him. He's honestly one of my favorite youtubers
I never watched his vids, and still haven't, but I can for a fact say I hated him at first too, and thought he was extremely annoying. But even without seeing his videos, I can tell he has matured quite a bit.
Plus, I do consider him a bit of a youtube veteran at this point, with things like boogie2988, and avgn and such.
Same. I used to hate his content. However, as his content became more mature, I decided to subscribe to him. I don't regret it. Sure, he's made mistakes but so do a lot of people. Sad to see him be dethroned by T-Series.
I was the same way as you zeoxdragon. I originally hated pdp. He came off as another smosh / fred / beiber. Never liked any of those guys. But over time I started to like pdp. I was looking up lets plays for the telltale walking dead game and saw him playing it and I didn't realize I was watching him. He didn't seem as annoying as I imagined he would be.
zeoxdragon just imagine going back to your younger self, pointing at pewdiepie and saying “you’ll like him when you’re older. ps donald trump is going to be president”
what is this insane berenstain reality we’re living in
So I just found this channel again after like 2 years, and I had no idea this was the same guy that made some of the greatest ytps ever until now... and the channel is still kicking after all that time I’m impressed
fast forward 5 months from this video, he had 100 Million Subscribers. Fast Forward about 1.5 years, he has a major deal with youtube gaming to livestream, and fast forward til now, where he's is about to become the 3rd most popular. that is insane.
I mean, YouTube is owned by Google, right? I doubt they care if their platforms focus is shifting, as long as it brings them money. It's not a site primarily for you posting yourself and your "original" content anymore (social media apps have taken over that), it's for getting fame and making some money while YouTube profits off of you
T series is a business, not a independent creator. Independent creators should be the main focus of youtube, and now it’s a business. PewDiePie puts hours of effort into videos, and T series probably just upload unoriginal content. When PewDiePie is overthrown, the era ends. YouTube will never be the same.
Marioman303 Not a lot of people thought of doing it back in 2010, so i guess its original (albeit obnoxious).
Im going to still miss having genuinely good letsplayers be prominent on the site, but in the same token, im also glad that more channels like Jontron and Egoraptor are becoming prominent again. Although subscrubers wont matter anymore to the same degree that it used to, i can at least enjoy the fact that theres genuinely good content resurging in both the game review and animation genre.
Wow...even well after a month making this videos...PewDiePie is still #1...sure it's inevitable...but it's amazing how we've been able to hang on like this...
I don't consider T-Series a "YouTuber" in the same way I don't consider YouTube's own channels "YouTubers." So, technically, PewDiePie will still be the most popular "YouTuber."
I've been really enjoying your recent content, you put a lot of effort into it and I can't wait to see what you do next. I'll support all the way. What? I'm just a 13 year old who has never made a video before. Well... It's the thought that counts.
Honestly I hate T Series, it is unfunny and was Corporate at the dawn of it's channel. Imagine a YouTube with Emp on top, he represents what this site was made for, Outsiders not Corporate Executives or Normies. But I appreciate Pewdiepie at least trying to ask the question "Broadcast Yourself" as "how" instead of most modern YouTubers who say "why"
If you're not Indian, that channel has no value for you. But for the billion folks living there, the channel is just like TV for them hence its popularity.
i want to cling onto the good old day of the internet as long as i can. i grew up on it and looking at it fade away makes me sad as hell knowing that we can't have that back.
The combined strenght of the inhabitants of one of the most populated countries in the world was the thing needed to overthrow the god of Youtube. Never forget that, Pewdiepie is powerful.
It was always how many kids you can get to click on your video and watch it like a zombie... that's exactly how the 'Paul Brothers'-style (it's not 'their' style) came to be... that's exactly how the modern model for content came to be.
It's the age of the megacorps. Get out your cyberdecks, scrub out your SINs, geek the mages, shoot straight, conserve ammo, never cut a deal with a dragon and prepare for an age of running in the shadows...
Goddammit max just fucking stick to your schedule (btw I see you comments on vids where i don’t expect you to comment mate maybe we watch the same content?)
This matter as well be episode 1.5 of the never ever series, although it'd be cool to make a part two of this because SO MUCH happened after this video came out, like a literal war happened
Pewdiepie's whole life and rise to fame and eventual downfall seems like something that I feel like would make a good biographical movie. Like all the parts are there. You have the nameless nobody who no one besides friends and family know in the beginning make a Youtube channel just for fun at first. Then you watch as his popularity and channel grows along with the sort of optimistic tone of the movie, eventually hitting a climax with him becoming the most subscribed channel on Youtube. Then you have the conflict begin when he goes renegade from Youtube and the media starts doing shady shit like doing hitpieces on him calling him a Nazi and Youtube stops supporting him and even working the algorithm so that his videos are purposely hidden and not recommended. But even in the face of all of this he still manages to out-compete all these people still until sadly eventually being overcome by a company. But then in the end you realize it took the entire orchestrated power of the mass media, the entire internet-using population of India, and Youtube literally gaming the system against him in order to overtake him, so you begin to wonder who really was the one who lost in the end.
i wonder what the cast list would be for such a great docu-drama film. for some reason, i think the guy who played Dexter could pull off Felix really well lol.
My main thing about something like this actually happening is I currently don't trust any sort of movie studio or production company to make something like that that isn't biased against Pewdiepie considering how almost literally everyone outside of the Youtube and internet "community" as a whole hates him since going rogue.
Also losing the most subscribed channel spot isn't really his "downfall" his channel will continue mostly as normal. He'll get less attention as the biggest channel, and kind of most famous channel, but it'll still work fine. He'll also still be the most subscribed non-corporate music channel.
Hot take, atleast in this comment section: Felix isnt a neo-nazi or anything, but very obviously has... knowingly attempted/did pander to the groups. Like the whole "death to all jews" thing, and dressing up in a SAS uniform over a Hitler speech/Death March, among various other things of the sort. He browses 4chan, understands shit like /ourguy/, he isnt ignorant of it.
Felix isnt a neo-nazi by definitive terms, but he obviously pandered to them for a while. And as the saying goes: "If you sit a table with 10 people conversing with a nazi, then you're sitting with 11 nazis."
I also, really want to understand why the original poster is characterizing Felix as some kind of underdog that pushed through the top by his charisma and natural talent? Sure, his more original videos are good, but what of the rest? The countless cookie-cutter videos over and over and over and... on top of him straight up lying in some cases to be a corporate tool (Shadow of Mordor among others)
And people forget that the entire Adpocalypse was started when Felix, who was partnered with Disney and is the poster boy of YouTube, decided "maybe i should pay some guys 5$ to take the fall and provide funny content for me that's also antisemitic."
I dont understand how you cant grasp how that puts Felix on the wrong.
@no bully Primarily because you'll notice that a lot of stuff that has been considered bad with him was due to corporate corruption. Like his whole deal with Disney and him starting to sell his soul to become the poster-boy of Youtube, and the whole Shadow of Mordor fiasco. And let's be honest here, Pewdiepie isn't what caused the Adpocalypse. It was caused by multiple reasons including the media's hatred of Youtube as a whole, Youtube desperation for money as the platform still manages to only break even, and other channels doing way worse stuff than Pewdiepie (anyone remember those fetishistic toy channels?). It's stupid to pin the Adpocalypse on one man alone, as much as we all would want to. It's like pinning all of global warming on cars alone, when coal plants and cows produce more greenhouse gases than all cars combined. Look I'll be the first to say Pewdiepie isn't perfect. In fact I used to fucking hate him for awhile. However you're flat out wrong if you deny he hasn't been worked over by the system, at least recently. In the movie as he becomes really popular you could have the seeds of conflict begin when corporations get their hold of him and how he begins to resort to using the cookie cutter style in his videos. But over time he begins to question this until he ultimately decides to go rogue.
@Theodore Hodbor The thing is that he didn't have to "sell his soul" to Disney to just make ends meet. By the form of view count equating to your ad revenue at the time, he had easily been making large sums of money. Him partnering with Disney, previously a la the defunct Maker Studios which was disregarded by Disney for countless issues, he had done this to just increase his wealth that much more, which went to him only. (More on this in a bit)
Let's be honest, Felix's action of both casually calling someone a slur when he got angry at them and paying two people 5$ to take an antisemitic comment as a joke was just the thing that got it going. Previously, the only two things remotely doing this was the Johnny Rebel song being prefaced by ads of various brands and Pepsi's shitty ad on the North American election brawls. To call those anything isnt much. But to have your number one most subscribed channel, with major sponsors, say slurs and spread antisemitic speech? That's, uh, pretty big.
Yeah, he's been worked over by the system due to his frequent showings of having broken TOS of YouTube. They're going to keep a close eye on him because not too long ago he said a slur on their livestreaming service, and then spread antisemitic hate speech.
Now, please understand this. Felix has been making these types of videos since his Penumbra days. I, and surely you, have had to endure "CRAZY SCARY HORROR GAME #4" where the guy sees scary thing and scream. This consisted of practically all of his videos until, lately a few years ago. He isnt being forced to do those cookie cutter scream montages.
On his wealth, which he has an exceedingly large amount of. Not just from YouTube, but from sponsors, merchandise, and more. The man is not being forced into poverty, or out of his enjoyable past time as a gaming YouTuber due to any of this. Nor is it unreasonable.
@Adam Carter Adam Carter Yeah, but jokes are supposed to be funny. Really, I shouldn't have to tell you this, but spreading antisemitic hate speech isn't funny! I could very easily switch Jews with an underrepresented ethnicity and you'd see what's wrong. Even George Carlin understood this difference, which is punching up and punching down.
Yes, I understand people warrant forgiveness every now and then. But these arent human errors, it's more like he had to film the video, edit it, and multiple times throughout wonder "Is this right or not?"
Not really. Knowing about your political opponents ideology and actively denouncing it when it's not good at all isnt the same as nicely conversing with them. That'd mean I could call all pro-capitalists that vehemently hate communists, communists by your twisted logic.
Sorry, but you really shouldn't be giving Nazis a platform to debate. You shouldn't be calmly talking to them. Lest you end up like Andy Warski, who disagrees with neo-nazis, surely, but hosted 4 of them on his stream and allowed them to have a talk with their conspiracies.
@no bully 1. You disregarded what I said about the Adpocalypse. I did not say that Pewdiepie didn't have anything to do with it. He was definitely a reason as for why it happened. However what I was saying is that he isn't the only reason why it happened. There were many factors involved which sort of created this perfect storm where Youtube panicked and began mass-demonetization. These reasons include: Youtube already being in the red and have been so for many years, the mass media's hate of Youtube and them taking any and every available opportunity to talk negatively about them, the other equally bad channels such as those fetishistic toy review channels, and finally Pewdiepie doing those stupid things. It's like starting a fire, without having one of the essential ingredients like wood or oxygen it won't work. If Youtube was making shit tons of money they very likely wouldn't have panicked the way they did.
2. About Pewdiepie's Nazi joke, humor is subjective. I will give you that Pewdiepie's joke was definitely edgy, but that doesn't mean he is a Neo-Nazi. In case you weren't listening almost all of Pewdiepie's fame originates from pandering to edgy kids that like scary games. This type of edgy shit is the stuff they like. Also you sort of forgot about the second message with that first one that said "subscribe to Keemstar." The only thing I am sort of willing to give you is the fact of how he slipped saying "nigger" on a stream, as that could possibly be interpreted as a Freudian slip. However I don't recall him ever doing anything else that was incredibly racist so I personally more chalk it up as him just blurting out some random curse word.
3. I just honestly disagree with your notion that we should not provide a platform for those we don't agree with like Nazis. I will say that their ideology is definitely incredibly stupid and hateful, however just outright refusing them a platform will only weaken our argument and validate theirs, like we're afraid of debating them or something. Personally, my idea is to instead debate with them but then disprove every facet of their ideology right in their face.
i’m about to be 20, and i was a bit late to the youtube party for people my age but pewdiepie to me will always represent MY era of YouTube. of course i knew all the really big popular youtube channels and videos, and i even hated pewdiepie at first. i started really watching in 2013 when i actually sat down and watched a few of his videos. felix, his friends and collaborators, and other people in the same genre are what comes to my mind when i think of youtube, even though i watch completely different content today. it’s so neat to be able to watch this platform evolve and grow from when asdf movies and firing my laser we’re super popular to pewdiepie to ricegum and the pauls.

Too be fair, pretty sure Pewdiepies fighting back well
I miss the good old days when having a million subs was a big deal. The first youtuber I consistently watched was UberHaxorNova. I remember that it was such a big deal for him and his followers that he was one of the handful of channels to gain the big 1 million. Those days are long gone now, sadly. I can't browse YouTube without seeing a channel with a couple million subs. Not that some of them don't deserve it. It's just that now more shit channels than good ones have millions of subs. Products of a bygone age I suppose.
T-series may be growing, but i'm guessing almost all of it's viewership is in India. So for those of us who aren't Indian, Pewdiepie will still be the god of youtube.
I know a lot of people who want or are trying to take YouTube as a career though; so something like this is important. If you don't care about it, then move on.
Also, we need to have India turn into a Fascist government. It may not seem like the best option for some, but it's literally all we have to stop T-Series at this point.
I was looking at it just now, when the hell did T Series just... get 40 million subscribers? I hadn’t looked at their channel in a few months and suddenly it’s so much bigger
My ex had a 7 year old son and it genuinely upset me seeing him gobble up hour after hour of useless shit, I used to only come to YouTube to find song or learn how to make things like paper planes, origami, t shirt ninja mask etc, still inherently useless as an adult these days but he just had no clue about basics like these because he spent his early life on his moms phone.
Well, here we are, he's a million ahead of T-Series and at the height of his career. He's not at his peak in the sense that he would get featured on a late night show like he used to, because he's no longer supported by YouTube. But since he started making videos he actually enjoys, the people that watch him truly like him for him, and he is at the peak of his career with a different audience, and in a different light, rather than mainstream. He's kind of like a renegade, like you said.
Got channel is like hearing an old man that grew up in the railroads and now has a nice small family you can hear them explain every radio address from every war in recent memory and they are the perfect anaerobic reminder of the past
We are going to start seeing a lot more videos like this but the truth is T series is an Indian music channel run by a company and is not taking any views away from PDP. It’s clickbait to say his “reign” is over. It will be over when a solo YouTuber passes him. PDP has the #1 trending video right now and it’s not even that good. I don’t see any T series videos trending even though they are well produced videos. Something is fishy with that channel. Also for the past week, T Series has consistently been 1.5 million viewers behind PDP so they may be losing steam. They can keep buying followers but it won’t help their view counts, which are pathetic considering the amount of followers T Series has.
"Also, every time you make an account in India, it automatically subscribes you to T-Series."
That should be outlawed. Seriously. This and the fact that it's just a distributor's YouTube channel, as opposed to being a YouTuber or even a person or group of persons running a YouTube channel who actually puts the work into the videos that they upload themselves, should be enough to make that channel unworthy of the distinction of most subscribed YouTube channel. T-Series doesn't deserve to dethrone Pewdiepie. Pewdiepie doesn't deserve to be dethroned by T-Series. T-Series doesn't deserve a YouTube channel.
As long you won't go down that corporate road, I'm fin with it. Your commentary video's are one of my favorites its filled to the brim with knowledge and funzies.
To be honest, twitch streamers with "interacting" It really matters of the size of the channel. I prefer channels with around 5 viewers consistently. Because I can actually interact with them instead of just watching some guy with blue hair ban people whom just shelled money out to him.
Hook Pewd into the Golden Throne; we need his continued leadership as the YouTube Imperium persists in surviving the existential terrors that relentlessly pour out across the platform!
The thing I hate most about this situation is just how fast T-series got its subs. You just don't get 50 million subscribers in only two months. Not unless you've got some trick.
If T-Series started a year ago and gradually acquired its subs like a normal channel, then I'd believe it. And even worse, it's a goddamn company. There's no personality behind the channel, no soul. PewDiePie actually built himself up, inspiring millions to strive for his very position by working hard and putting out good content.
It’s likely because there are a TON of people in India. If your average Chinese person had access to the wider internet there would have already been a huge Chinese channel.
its heavily recommended to new indian accounts, theyre not auto subbed but really recommended. India got a billion people so thats another thing, but still would mean like half the country is subbed, which is possible, India has been coming online a lot more now which could be the reason for the sudden influx and new Indian channels
You do realize how many people are in India right? Not to mention how significant music is there? And movies, which India produces the most of in the world annually? And more people are getting access to technology there?
@Shitlord There have been numerous videos of people making new YouTube accounts under India and going into the YouTube app finding T Series in their subscription list by default. You can find some videos easily on Reddit and YouTube.
「Ocean Man」 Yeah, but 400 mil estimated internet users, a fraction of those would be on YT despite its scale. At least those with YT accounts. It just does not add up.
Pewds channel was made in 2010 TSeries Channel was made in 2006 India has alot of people, USA Supporters for tseries are here USA Supporters + India = lots of subs
+themreverythingman YouTube is banned in China (Mainland China) they have their own video sharing sites which so happens to be the second largest in the world ironically its only for Chinese people.
I'm new to your channel. That was a interesting video subject about PewDiePie. I've never really been into PewDiePie myself, apart from his montage ones. Those where the video I enjoyed the most. I was more into JonTron, PeanutButterGamer, TheGamerFromMars, Rabbidluigi, TheLemonGamer and MatPat back then. It's amazing though how PewDiePie has stayed as the top YouTuber for this long, so congrats to Pewds on that.
You ever hear the tragedy of Darth Pewdiepie the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the T-series Tube Co. would tell you. It's an India-tube legend. Darth Pewdiepie was a Dark Lord of the Youtubers, so powerful and so wise he could use the children to influence the sub counts of others to create trends... He had such a knowledge of the Youtube algorithm that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying off. The dark side of the Google Co. is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his millions of subs and #1 spot, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught every person with a dream everything he knew, then T-Series killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from losing youtube milestones, but not himself.
I don’t disagree, I’d just be inclined to believe it more if it was a sole YouTuber, one person. Not an entertainment channel from one of the most densely populated places on earth
It's kind of funny looking back. I fucking hated Pewdiepie because he just seemed obnoxious, unfunny, and undeserving of the top spot on YouTube. Around 2017 though I started watching his videos and really enjoyed them. I still watch most of his videos and really love his content. He's changed a lot, Youtube's changed a lot, and I've changed a lot.
I'm glad Pewdiepie is still the number one non corporate channel at least. It's gonna be sad when Mr Beast or Dream passes him lol
For those of you saying it hasn't happened, technically it has. T was ahead for 8 minutes on 22nd February, but that was due to a routine audit. A legitimate overtake occurred on the 9th and 11th of March, for 5 and 18 minutes respectively. I predict 3 more weeks of Pewdiepie leading at most, then it'll be over.
I literally grew up with PewDiePie. When I started watching him, he was making Skate3 videos and funny moments montages. I remember binge watching his Walking Dead series for the first time in the summer of 2013. It was good times. Ironic that T-Series, a literal corporation, with no face or identity, will be the next "face" of YouTube.
@Chip That's because it was? Before the rampant censorship, political correctness, copyright strikes, corporate shilling, and punishing individuality and talent and encouraging talentless pop culture shit?
@Big Daddy Gio No, for me who has been watching YouTube since 2007 constantly, what I watched on YouTube and what I define old YouTube is YouTube Poops, Angry Video Game Nerd, Irate Gamer, movie and TV show, and Red vs. Blue. Though the content by Machinima I didn't care for.
Well... We just have to enjoy the last few weeks (if not less,) of YouTube being a platform for people, by people. Or at least symbolically, because that's long gone anyway. PewDiePie, you'll always be #1 for all of us.
This is the end of youtube, and I mean that there will be no more up-and-coming youtubers that stick out. The site will be completely dominated by the same personalities and 3rd party companies with youtube channels.
I'm starting to fear what will happen to us content creators if this is going to be the end of YouTube. Where do we show off our content? How will we make a living out of this? What can we do to sustain our lives? Something like these are putting us content creators in jeopardy.
At first I kinda chuckled at the thought of every channel that doesn't fit youtubes standards being eradicated, but the more I think about it the more I think we may be witnessing the end of the youtube dream of starting a channel and becoming famous enough to live off it.
@Random Konong except twitch doesnt work as a suitable replacement because there are more than gamimg videos on the site. There are so many videos meant to be meticulously edited and presented. And you cant do that on twitch. All you can do is play video games, vlog, and edit videos.
anyone who has built a career off youtube should have a plan B in case. think of a second job you might be interested in and maybe even try getting a degree of some kind in that field so that way if something ever does go wrong on YouTube you'll be prepared. Youtube is not a stable platform in general and it's always good to have more than one option.
I don't want to be rude, but get an actual job? In the beginning of YouTube, people weren't earning revenue at the beginning and yet, they were still able to manage to get their creativity shared.
@Tornado Mimi Cyclone I was curious about this site and I'll someday (not) thank you, because you revived my great memories. Everyone. Let's go to VidLii to revive our creativity(?)
@Teodor Gumovsky Oh, hardy-har-har Go to Hell Youtube used to be a wonderful place where people could be themselves and get money for that, be successful about that. You could share your opinions and people would enjoy it because of the honesty, because to be successful meant that you were likeable, and normal people could enjoy your content. This used to be a website where profit was based on being a good person, being a likeable person.. No job can compare to that..
@Vintage Fan I don't want to be rude, but go to Hell? Like I've mentioned in my other replies, Youtube used to be more than a job, you were rewarded by people liking you as a person, and people enjoying the content you posted.
Lol, people probably never got revenue from uploading their creativity back then. People got their own jobs and shared their talents in a easy way: the internet! They're could be so much potential to today standards but due to revenue existing in this trash site, the talented are like: "Hurr-durr, I want to make a living out of YouTube by signing greedy contracts and getting revenue out of my creativity! Oh wait. These contracts are just restricting me that I have troubles in the future to get out the contract and I'm earning absolutely nothing! Oh well! Time to earn that sweet revenue by recoding myself playing video games! Cuz, it's more popular by earning the revenue from that than just sharing my talents; let it all go to waste!". It's just a problem (for an example) that most animators just left and became let's players that I dont give a crap about due to their views of revenue. Sure. I get that you deserve something from your talents, but you're getting that from the people that like your works. If talented people want to earn a revenue, they should sell merch based on their works or a Patreon or HAVE A (SECOND) JOB. Higher budget doesn't mean better quality; creativity doesn't always means commerce. People weren't like that back then in the early times of this site and I'd say the revenue system is at fault of all of this corruption on this site. Ever wonder 'why' there's corporations and bloggers on this site and becoming more popular? Because, revenue!
Everyone replying with "get a real job" is missing the big picture. Do you all have enough time in the day to check your sub boxes for Vimeo, bitchute, dtube, etc etc etc and all the freaking websites that your favourite content creators will migrate to?
@Titanium Rain Unlikely; Those sites are pretty unpopular and the lack of revenue, of course. Although, Vimeo and Newgrounds are good sites for creative purposes.
+Vintage Fan "Those sites are pretty unpopular and the lack of revenue" - irrelevant. We're talking about YouTube in a hypothetical state where making a buck out of it is unfeasible (it already is and it's getting worse) and actual good content is hardly recommended because of the necessity to have corporate content at the top.
+Teodor Gumovsky "it takes about 10 minutes max to check those sites" - yeah and after those 10 minutes you wouldn't have discovered a content creator like EmpLemon because you're dividing your attention span between multiple websites. You've gone back to the RSS feed days.
I'd say Facebook is a better place to post content than YouTube is at this point, and they're just as if not more corporate than YouTube. And besides that, twitch and (ironically) pornhub seem to be the biggest actual "video" platforms. The other dedicated alternatives like "bitchute" and "vidlii" are cute, but I can't see them actually getting close to even DailyMotion, and dailymotion is a fucking ghost town.
Well, why not make your own YouTube? You can revive the slogan "Broadcast Yourself", watch the website grow over the years, observe as people become giants in your cyber world, and then realise "Hey, we can make lots of money here! One ad here, another ad there..." and before you know it, you're spotlighting Jake Paul's son's "Buy dat merch" Christmas album.
@Random123456789O This 100%! I would say that monetization for videos made the whole site way worse. Nobody does anything for fun or creative merit anymore, it's all just about ads and money and bullshit like that. It's so vapid and stupid!
please post a 2018 rewind vid the shit you post is not only funny but true and the fact that your willing to come on this platform and speak your mind without giving a single fuck is honestly amazing
@MatMart It is also not corporate garbage. T-Series hires small and unknown artists and provide them platform for getting popular. Although they own a lot of their earnings but they would be nothing without them.
Suyash Awasthi garbage in my opinion is content that’s not fun for me to watch. Of course a music video in a language I don’t understand is not fun for me to watch. Corporate is something by a corporation. So T-Series is still corporate garbage in my opinion.
@MatMart You got a pretty negative attitude right there. Stuff we can't understand deserves a neutral stance if not a positive. I don't understand what half of the world speaks or likes doesn't mean it's terrible. If you go around with that attitude one can never learn anything.
Suyash Awasthi well to be fair I also don’t enjoy watching the vast majority of the mainstream English music which is why I assume that even if I did speak Hindi I would still probably not like T Series. Everyone has their opinions :)
@MatMart T-Series puts up every single type of Indian music possible on its channel. Their Popular stuff is trash according to me too. That's the same everywhere in the world. But they got their good music too.
Something great about YouTube is that it really gets shaped for YOU. The things that are actually popular on YouTube disgust me... any time I come to the site NOT logged in, I'm completely horrified. But that's when I realize that YouTube is such a different experience for every user with an account. Despite all the garbage, fluff, and pandering that exist on YouTube, MY YouTube is all the things I want it to be. And they are such wildly different things that sometimes have nothing in common, yet it all comes together into my experience. This is why I never ever come across PewDiePie or T-Series videos, despite them being the most subbed channels. In that sense, there remains something democratic about the site. Even if it doesn't promote you, even if it DEMONETIZES your channel, it will keep showing you to that person whose taste aligns with your channel. That's how I keep hopping to different culture-themed video essays like what this channel makes.
Honestly, reading these comments feels like being that old guy in Matrix Reloaded in front of a whole room full of Neos. This has happened before, you just weren't around to witness it. Youtube stopped being about the "You" in 2007 or so, once Google began to monetize the website through adding adverts. When they let corporations such as Viacom and Colgate (fuck what they did to WalrusGuy and early YTP) run roughshod over people's uploads, hence the 009 Sound System or Drowning Pool. Then by 2009 they started fucking with the layout, and by 2011 all individuality people had with their channel pages was gone.
I'm just now starting to notice the many phases and Era's YouTube has gone through. Here's the many Era's YouTube has gone through..... Well, at least what I think about the many Era's that this site has gone through. Era 1 (2005 - 2007): The rise of animation and shitty short films Era 2 (2008 - 2012): Rise of YouTube poops and more exposure to memes Era 3 (2013 - 2015): Rise of Gaming and Let's plays Recent Era (2016 - Now): Vlogs, toy channels, and corporate celebrities.
Really cool with that whole "Scott the Wox, RelaxAlax, NitroRad" being the new era of (Golden age) "JonTron, PBG, AngryJoe" trend. Kinda the conclusion I came to myself, but neat hearing it in such clear words.
also nostalgia about 2009-2013 era PewDiePie, and then hating him for 2 years, or something
Symbolism. Once T Series takeover, many people(fans, haters, neutrals) will talk.
Youtube was like the Wild West. There were ads but atleast it wasn't unskippable video ads. Remembering the past YT content, poops, let's plays, dramas, educational content, music, animations, gold, shit, etc.
Everyone was scrambling and experimenting with ideas...until everyone was able to figure out how to efficiently squeeze more $ efficiently out of everything.
Good things do come to an end. We are forced to finally accept the new era which came long ago.
Aeth Suneravelos we can call it the official end of the wild west era, and into a industrial revolution. Low quality, bland, and profitable content rules all.
so what if pewdiepie has the most subscribers. how many are actively watching all his videos? let alone active on youtube. what % of his viewers take the time to comment on his content. and what does he do that is even worth getting attention? all things come to an end. it is normal.
Look at it this way: so far the campaigns to keep Pewdiepie number one have been successful. T series should have overtaken Pewds by now but a lot of Youtubers seem to finally be saying “enough is enough, we’re standing up for our own kind”.
I remember being 12-13 years old when PewDiePie was popular. It hurts me to see a brand take his #1 spot. I liked having an average guy be #1. It's sad to see him not be the top dog.
i used to be one of those people who didn't like pewdiepie back in the day but i have to give him his props for changing with the times. it would've been real easy for him to stick with that same kind of pandering, 'kid friendly' content but he took his channel the direction he wanted to take it and that's pretty admirable. especially nowadays when everyone's so content to ride the wave of doing the same thing over and over as long as it gets them their revenue.
Damn I might not have watched a Pewdiepie video in almost a decade but nothing's gonna change the fact that some of the first videos I ever watched on the site were him screaming at Happy Wheels back in 2009, from my friend's basement in between rounds of CoD. That shit was hilarious... and now I'm real sad.
I think it's basically the end of original content on YouTube

I really enjoy the fact that these cooperations with the backing of millions of dollars spent on their videos and advertisements, still couldn't match a single human being with little to no resources. It's even better that pewdiepie wasn't ambitious, greedy, cruel or a self serving narcissist. He had gained his audience with his personality, and charisma and he kept that for so many years. He never let fame go to his head, nor did he break down, he had always remained humble. Not only that, he matures with his audience, we get to see this silly kid grow up to be wiser and gains a better sense of the world as he age. He makes the videos he wanted without trying to strategically pander or lie to his audience for more views. Sure, he made mistakes, he's human after all, but none of it resulted in maliciousness. However, Youtube had been bought by Google and Google is a cooperation. For a while, the top dogs tried to bring Pewdiepie down to serve cooperate interests. Now Youtube doesn't let Pewdiepie get promoted anymore? That sucks. Too bad Youtube, Wall Street Journal and the other top company's had to artificially bring him down so they could bring the mass media back up. In the end, it's wealth, and power that would triumph.
Imagine if everyone in China had a youtube account, and they were all subscribed (because they have to be) to the official channel of their God Emperor Xi Jinping. Oh wow, 1.4 billion subs, dude!
it's not all about population yes population is playing a major role for Tseries but in recent years internet usages increasing very fast in India because of cheap fiber plans and cellular data. I have 100 Mbps plan with no download limit what so ever and I pay only 10$ per month it was not possible 2 years before that is the reason so many Indian channels crossing 10 mil subscriber mark very easily and Indian viewers are hungry for content right now...this is the best time for Indian YouTubers even I have one channel with 20k subs I am not even serious about youtube stuff
@Scientist Walter people are hungry and tseries is feeding them with quality content. No one in india right now making quality content becuase no one has that much money plus tseries getting views alot which is beneficial for youtube so they are also helping tseries in promotion like if you make a new youtube account in india youtube will show you tseries on your home screen as suggestion even some people said if you make new account YouTube automatically subscribe you to tseries in india which i dont think is true because i never saw it personally
Lol, if India is so late to the party, maybe the next big YouTube personality will be some random Indian dude. India has more people than Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia combined, and the world of technology has in general always been focused on Western civilization. It would be an interesting change, though I image not everyone would be happy with it.
I remember when I would get on Youtube And just.. Find a Minecraft or Super Mario 64 let's play, and just enjoy the content for what it was.. It was the same game over-and-over, but I never got tired of it.. I just... Enjoyed it.. Nobody in my family will ever get that, they're older than me. It feels like everything that I have so many great memories of has either been shut down, or flooded with emotionless capitalism.. 😢😭
I never really liked pewdepie’s content on YouTube, but I do respect him. He built a YouTube channel that has more reach over audiences bigger than massive corporations that spend millions just to get as much attention as him. He is a self-made man on YouTube. Seeing his channel getting overtaken by a corporate channel shows that building a successful channel from the ground up is nearly impossible at this point.
T-series becoming #1 in youtube won't hurt anyone really. I think of it as changing the Face of youtube, and seeing a corporate channel become the first thing outside people will see in youtube is hard for us who are here since its formation. We want the face that represents youtube to be acceptable and exactly "You" in what Youtube is. Emp is totally right that in this age, subs doesn't matter at all as long as we know what youtube is and what it is supposed to represent. But sometimes even that becomes foggy as the eyes of traditional media sneaks slowly to youtube
One thing I'm going to have to disagree with: "He was hated for the same reasons that people like the Paul brothers are hated today"
nah, back then it was just "he's annoying!!!" or "his fans are annoying!1!". People hate the Paul brothers because they do legitimately shitty things and are generally shitty people; manipulating kids, using exes for views, etc. and yet they're still allowed to be popular because...YouTube likes them, I guess? Pewdiepie wasn't outed for being some despicable person at least.
I think this says more about the bar back then of how many shitty people had an audience v.s. now. Back then, if "their fanbase is so annoying!" was the thing people were hyper focused on, it says there probably wasn't as much shit as there is on YouTube today. Today we have people like the Paul brothers, those hypocrites from the Beauty community, Ricegum, Onision (he's an OG YouTuber but back in 2012-2013 it wasn't widely know), and these people practically fund channels.
Though I do have to say, if people thought Pewds was "family friendly" back then, lolno. He had a sense of humor full of sex jokes, curses, everything under the sun. He just accidentally attracted a bunch of tweens/teens, including this girl XD
Felipe Jaquez2018-10-12 17:22:43 (edited 2018-10-12 17:29:29 )
Pewdiepie showed the world that some random ass person becoming famous on some random ass website is possible and he started the YouTube gold rush where millions of people poured in with that dream of being rich too. He was there at the right time in history then changed the course of it but now that rush has ended and now the era he and most of us lived in is gone. God speed old YouTube you were very bad but also very good at the same time and there will never be another person like pewdiepie for as long as I live, may you brofist in peace.
Its clear that Pewds was never #1 in YT for most subs but idk why he was even crowned that in the first place. But pewds remains to be number one content creator.
This does not dismiss your argument in the vid however but the landscape of YT has turned into more corporate like feeling and in a way it feels like watching the news. It’s clean yet not too extensive.
Also I love how many people refrence Ninja when a small portion have been watching him for almost 10 years, at most hated him because his play style often fucked his team over (Halo the game that created e sports).
I think Pewdiepie’s journey was like the American Dream: a nobody who becomes popular and fulfills his dreams using his own skills and merits. Then again, YouTube was born in America.
@Rookie what i saw os that it didnt go down at the same time for everyone, for example when i was on YouTube and it shut down i went on Twitter and there were tweets about this that were tweeted hours ago while it just happened to me
Not down in India, and the map shows that the majority of problems were reported in US, and UK. Of course, it's still a problem for them to admit they are not the centre of the universe.
joe wow it's almost as if that excuses a people to act like a bunch of insecure whining victims towards people who personally had nothing to do with it, while at the same time pretending to be proud
@Eadmund Isen-Healf indians are brought up patriotic, just as americans are. And even if it was a long time ago it still left a lasting impact on india that continues to this day.
joe, the big three indian leaders, nehru, tagore and gandhi, all agreed with the goals of our imperial project, they just disagreed with who was in charge. we british loved india (i'm not american if you didn't notice), a legacy unfairly besmirched largely due to churchill's logistics choices during wwii. indians need to shed the victimhood in order to actually have pride in themselves, to try and benefit from both masks at once is self-deception at best, and the sheer level of insecurity shows how fragile the veneer is. they are capable of being a great people, to do so they need to take command of their narrative
joe i don't believe in imperialism, i'm speaking from a contemporaneous perspective. on a cost benefit analysis imperialism is a bad idea for every party involved, i'd have preferred for it not to have happened
try to actually address the argument instead of flinching at certain pavlovian buzzwords
@Ryan Miller I just find it hard to believe, no one outside of India would watch this to start with. This also means everyone in India would need to not only own a phone or computer that works and subscribe to this channel instead of just looking it up
@Ryan Miller Still stupid that T Series is replacing Pewds not from actual good content but because it is the only way Indian dudes can listen to music
Davidci Codex This is only half-related, but I remember when YouTube was down, but I thought it was only for me, so I was legitimately surprised when I learned that everyone got it.
This is just echoing the internet, in a way. The internet used to be more individualistic, where the individual was still important; where we formed communities, not networks. I mean, think about it, what the fuck do our comments and videos mean? These corporations and governments have far greater reach than any of us individually, and so for every one who understands the situation, there will be 10 people who are content with the status quo (boomers, children, teenagers just looking at music videos, 3rd-worlders, etc).
Your points are exactly right .. I feel like even if T surpasses Pewds, he's worked much harder, for much longer, & it's a much more amazing feat than some combo indian-VEVO channel growing from the pure spam of many people's content... Try doing that as one guy, with one style, & one demographic. For YEARS. Pewds is truly our benevolent ruler forever & ever. 💙👊💙
This actually hurts to see this happen. Like wow I growing up with YouTube is certainly something. Pewdiepie’s era of YouTube was the one where I had so much enjoyment of this platform. I just don’t get the same kick out of it anymore. I mean I still like to watch people but something just feels off. Like something is missing or forgotten. YouTube has definitely run its course and the celebrities and mainstream media have definitely gotten its grip on this website and it certainly shows in many aspects.

If they at least make a goodbye felix part in the next rewind I might forgive them a little bit(a tiny bit )
T-series shows that a company spitting out 6 videos a day with the support of youtube and all most of India will make the channel survive. Edit: fixed India
Hey man. This is irrelevant to this specific video, but your "empty subscriber" video is nearing your subscriber count.
In a week, you also have roughly a 36% empty subscriber rate on this video with 380k subscribers. Congratulations dude, you are successfully alienating the edgelords and are ascending to new heights.
It's what happened to all our kings. We grew decadent and childish, disregarded our rulers and raised up faceless corporate giants to take their place.
well, look at the good side, a whole fucking country (the second most populated country in the WORLD) had to join forces to defeat a single man, which really shows how powerful pewds was
" Pewdiepie doesn't represent actual youtube " " Now they all apeal to 9 year olds " Really hope someone sees what's wrong with this statement, as a 9 year old i sure do.
What would happen if a new Video Content Sharing site was made with simple and basic features, no corporate/commercial tie-ins, and a slowly growing community nowadays? Would it rise and die the same way YouTube did? Would it even become more popular than Youtube, in the way YouTube became more popular than Newgrounds?
I don't know why but I keep on having this spark of hope that when T-series surpasses Pewdiepie that YouTube would just terminate T-series immediately just to joke around about Pewdiepie not being number 1 for a few seconds. Just this lingering hope that YouTube is human and they just want a joke before terminating a channel that cheats the system.
It’s like it is when we have had too many people move into the place I live. Yeah, I appreciate being able to drive to the store in 10 minutes rather than 20 or 30 minutes. The nice quality internet is nice too.
But I was raised in the woods. I remember a lot of where I live as just trees and fields. It’s just in the long run, I’m gonna miss the way things used to be more than the qualities of life brought on by the yanks who came here in droves, bringing civilization in their eyes.
At some point things gotta end, and we all saw corporate youtube coming a while ago...
Now to remember the good times of the past, lets look into the forst big youtuber, Fred
I'm surprised Dollar Shave Club allows you to make fun of their product. I thought big companies don't allow that? (This is a genuine question; I'm not being sarcastic.)
Blinded by money and fueled by corporations funneling their money through it, Youtube has become the very thing it swore to destroy. Its motto was "Broadcast Yourself". The question back then was "how", but now it is "why". Pewdiepie got big because he knew the "how". Back then, before Youtube was hyper-profitable, Felix knew how to grow his channel. He displayed himself. Thats all people wanted. Someone they could look up to in the new frontier that was Youtube. It was as if, if Pewdiepie could do it, so could you. But Youtube has since become greedy. They are no longer the underdogs. they are no longer a cool, safe platform to express yourself and get away from it all. It is now an empire, protected by walls of asshole vloggers who upload four times a day every day with the most bland content imaginable, as well as massive companies whose sole goal is to earn your view, play their ad, and collect their revenue. These horrible walls will only get taller, and they will only get stronger. They may never come down. Not in our lifetimes, anyways. But as large as these walls get to protect this empire, we, as subscribers and viewers, must always remember the foundation . Youtube was built upon people like us. Pewdiepie, Smosh, Jontron, you name it. And we must never forget that. Gone are the days of "Broadcast Yourself", as the days of "Broadcast your Company for Free Ad Revenue" are neigh. You tube, is now Reve nue tube. But as long as we remember our brothers and sisters and continue their support, they will still survive in the shadows. They do not need to be at the top, but they only need our support. They need our support, because one day, Youtube will make ONE mistake, and they will all become bankrupt. All of the corporations: Vevo, T-series and all corporations alike will come crashing down due to one small change. They will no longer receive the millions of views they require to survive. They will die. All that will be left... will be the Pewdiepies. The individuals. And Youtube will beg for their mercy. I do not know when this day will come, nor does anybody. But it will come. It will come eventually. And until then, we will wait. Our time will come. Then, Youtube will have no choice but to let us "Broadcast Ourselves". Mark my words. This day will come. And when it does, we will have our website back.
YouTubers! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are! We are lions! Do you know what's there, waiting beyond that beach of corporate scum and ad revenue? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!
Unclear Sector Bruh no! Actually listen to pewdiepie he didn’t even feel comfortable doing YouTube. You just made that all up in your head because you wanted to make some in depth story...
Unclear Sector why?😂 in the comment it says pewdiepie knew how YouTube worked and he knew how to make himself popular but it was the exact opposite...he wasn't even good at speaking English when he started YouTube. If he knew how to make himself popular it'd be just in Sweden 😂
Unclear Sector you just sounded like some dude making a rant about the "good old times" as if YouTube was the only aspect of your life...like dude. It's YouTube. You wanna reminisce then go watch the Internet historian
_ Meteorite21 _ bruh what tf does that have to with what he said😂 I don’t give a fuck about him being a good YouTuber. The dude said he knew how to make himself popular as if pewdiepie was a strategic genius when he’s not
_ Meteorite21 _ and no...you just sound like one of those cringy fanboys...whatever “knight crusade” joke you’re all playing about pewdiepie’s accomplishments on YouTube it’s not funny. It’s embarrassing. When pewdiepie started YouTube he really just played CoD and didn’t speak very good English sort of...it’s salty, go back to reddit or 4Chan
@z NightOwl z so you are saying because he had an accent early on in his career that means he didn't know how to get subs? well, thats obviously incorrect because of all o fthe subscribers he has.
isabellelover109 it's called one person making a comment while multiple people tag him and agree...no one is talking to each other and no one writing more than one comment other than I and those tagging me. If it's a conversation it's a one sided conversation where one person is having multiple people say one or two sentences and then leave and someone else does the same thing right afterwords. Not a conversation
isabellelover109 okay writing one or two emojis because someone said or is saying something stupid isn't the equivalent of just downright writing 15 laughing emojis in a row...
@z NightOwl z I honestly hate your emoji replies. That made me respond here. It's all a normal complaint until you add emojis. It feels so inappropriate to add it in a middle of a comment
_ Meteorite21 _ okay now I KNOW you're trolling..if I added 5 emojis sure your complaint might work but dude. I didn't really add many of my comments with emojis and when I did the most was literally 2 emojis. The rest were just 1. So I can tell that you're obviously trolling
_ Meteorite21 _ of course you were trolling. No one would read my comments (which nearly all of them have a single emoji if they even have an emoji that is) and think to themselves "ugh this man is so childish...stop using emojis your argument is invalid"
zZNightOwlZzz z people tend to dislike emojis because it’s often used by people that can’t express themselves with words and resort to using vapid face-words.
Either that or some form of reliable competition arises and everyone flocks to that place. It hasn't been done yet, but Google isn't the only tech giant.
the you tube lore changed from "an unfunny pop tart crust is the king of youtube" to "an unfunny pop tart crust and some guys in india are in a power struggle for the number one spot of king of youtube"
Definitely fell into the camp of hating his guts at the beginning. Recommended to me hell and back by YT, by friends, and it wasn't something I could just roll my eyes at, it was something that actively hurt to watch with how loud it got and when it wasn't what you had was some guy stammering harder than Obama without a teleprompter. It didn't help that when the creator of Let's Play, Slowbeef made a video pointing out how obnoxious, bad taste, and low quality his content was, his response was to post a comment saying to keep doing these videos because it netted him more money, the bottom of the barrel response devoid of any value.
My guess is due to indulging in that type of content, the recommendations for him largely stopped, and instead YT began recommending more fitting channels. He'd pop back up again when he had that kill all jews fiasco and saying n*gger while giggling, but it was indifference. Then we get to here, where suddenly my friends start saying we need to subscribe to him to beat T-Series to 100mil and naturally the response is hell no, why would I subscribe to this wailing racist clown just to beat another channel I know nothing about. Then they began to put his meme review up on for Thursdays when we'd hang out...and it was the same sensation as watching a before and after for a fat person dropping 400lbs, it was the polar opposite of what he did back in 2012/2013. It wasn't particularly funny, but I got a chuckle here and again, which is an infinite upgrade from pure suffering.
Probably the closest I've been to kind of liking him was seeing how varied his interactions were, it wasn't strictly mainstream crap, there were some genuine callbacks to old YT. Seeing "Touhou music is hella lit" in my recommended one day felt like a fever dream and seeing his mug in the top right...I thought it was clickbait, surely enough it was real and I laughed for the first time at PDP. Then it links me a video of him watching perhaps the oldest Touhou animation, Marisa Stole the Precious Thing and he's just gushing over the fact that he used to sing that song when he was in high school...and then being a bit weirded out listening to it, a normal response for aged content.
At the end of the day...yeah I would much prefer him be at the top versus this manufactured frankenstein YOUtube has elected to build. Even if you create something that is genuinely revolutionary, someone will swoop in and take virtually all the credit/attention. Spike Chunsoft created DanganRonpa, something at risk of dying early in development due to Japan's sensitivity on blood and murder of students, something that only ever came to the West thanks to a single person translating the first game on the forum that invented Let's Play, and now Squid Game has run away with the formula and made bank, while its inspiration just barely broke 5 million sales across three games over the course of 11 years.
@gavrilo princip yep, it's almost been a decade for me being on this site, since 2009, didn't have an account watching stopmotion and hearing let the bodies hit the floors in those videos and then the gaming and Minecraft makers including sky and PewDiePie then over to stuff like Battlefield and DayZ, And then remembering when LizardSquad, Anonymous and Poodlecorp were around and leafy, then seeing the downfall and then seeing donutoperators chanel, seeing Rhodesia and a bunch of Just skeptic community youtuber and other right wingers, memes and seeing PewDiePie's channel and now seeing this video and comment makes think and I agree, time sure flies by fast
IMO monetization is the sole reason youtube started its downward spiral. It was no longer about making videos for entertainment, it was for money. It started with reply girls, then bloggers who spammed the tags. People slowly wanted more and more of that revenue that actual content was being ignored. Youtube doesnt care, if youtubers make money they make money. So they promote the most cancerous types of commercial videos just so they can gain a profit. They could have easily just had ads on the main site or on the sides, but no they gave scumbags the opportunity to make easy cash and they ate it all up.
Im kind of sad that it was pewdiepie at the top any, since his content is absolute garbage. But having him as most subscribed would still be better than a company.
Even when he is taken over by T-Series many people, including myself, won't accept it. Not because of saltyness of fanboyism but because Youtube was not and is not a place for mainstream corporations to make a name for themselves. Having someone like Pewdiepie on top vs a channel that handles hundreds of mainstream pop stars under 1 roof are not even comparable. It's not a place they earned, it's a place they BOUGHT. As far as I'm concerned, the only people on the top subs list that are deserving to be called Youtubers are the individuals themselves that started from scratch and built their fanbase. VEVO channels and corporate conglomerates may as well be blank spaces on that list in my eyes. Pewdiepie is still far from being surpassed by a real Youtuber
T-series may be the number 1 channel one YouTube now, but it is not the #1 creator, it is just a corporate corporation that is huge and on youtube, not an individual.
I use YouTube a lot, a daily basis for with varying amounts of time spent on it per week. And id say my subscribed channels make up maybe 40 percent at most.
This video held false for a long time, but now we finally seem to be on the verge of losing, at 84.5 Subscribers. We will see if there is something else that happens.
Well atleast mr beast a guy who used to make bleach jokes and make fun of bad intros is one of the biggest youtubers on the site now. There is still hope for the little guy, just a bit more clickbait might be needed.
What drives me insane is that the very thing the made to "fix" the sub box they broke also. Even if you have the bell on you still don't get notified immediately and it's still weighted. I don't understand it.
sooner or later Youtube will become just cable and when a new website to actually broadcast yourself appears people will go there, it just can't happend soon enough.
The age of rising independent YouTube creators is over. Now we have music industries shitting out mediocre music video after another. Sooner of later, I wouldn't be surprised if YouTube's creators were nothing but movie stars vlogging about their lives just to earn a quick buck.
That's just cause you're watching huge streamers who have to avoid chat because it's like a cesspool of utter garbage. Smaller streamers tend to be very interactive.
Im going to still miss having genuinely good letsplayers be prominent on the site (mostly because im a jobless boi piggybacking on my parents to make it through college until i at least get my associates, so i dont have time to play games anymore hardly), but in the same token, im also glad that more channels like Jontron and Egoraptor are becoming prominent again. Although subscrubers wont matter anymore to the same degree that it used to, i can at least enjoy the fact that theres genuinely good content resurging in both the game review and animation genre.
God bless TerminalMontage, he's pretty much the Egoraptor of modern youtube.
Idk it is a bit sad that the number 1 youtuber is gonna be a corporation & not a man who basically built his channel from the ground up over the last (almost) decade
Emp, you forgot that for small channels, you're not even allowed monetization until you hit 1k subs. So youtube is still forcing the relevancy of sub counts even to this day. Also the reason he's so well-loved now is because a lot of his fans have grown up and still love him. Also as someone who's never cared for him, I definitely prefer his reaction-type videos more than his older let's play stuff. He also just seems to have improved at comedy in general.
@peri That sucks, man. I hope things work out for you. I've decided to take a more chill approach to my channel, because there's a slim chance I'll ever get anywhere near the monetization threshold. Just gonna have fun with it while I still can.
Christ I was one of those people who hated Pewdiepie and not I'm subscribed and watch regularly. He totally morphed in the type of interaction and content he produces, and it kind of payed off? His fans and others came out in force in a massive subscriber campaign that any marketing person would have a wetdream about which is in itself amazing.
I like to think that pewdiepies audience is those 7-8 year olds that subscribed in 2008.
It’s 10 years later now and we are 18 and just not YouTube’s target audience. We just don’t have the same available time as children to put screen hours.
T-Series were at 10m subs AND 10b views in October, and then went to 50m subs and 50b views within 9 months, even crossing the 20m/20b threshold only days apart. That would mean that every new viewer, on average, watches 1,000 T-Series videos. That's on average. So for every sub that only watches, say, five videos, another sub would have had to watch 1,995 videos.
frigging cooperations ruining the fun of the real memers and average Joe's making a living off of videos by pushing their mainstream overrated garbage and shutting down anyone who wants to use more than 2 seconds of a song in a video the internet isn't dying, it's becoming zombified by the big guys with all the money
I'm gonna support the small resistance movement that still strives for making quality, well written content. I don't want corporate tube to become a thing. We gotta support that "people" of YouTube, not the companies
EmperorLemon, I want you to go online and buy a royal blue tang and then record yourself frying it on a pan. After that, you can upload it and call it "PanFrying Dory", that way you can psyche out the people hounding you to make Frying Dory.
I feel like PewDiePie’s modern popularity relying without algorithms, and numbers feels more genuine. T-Series (which by the way is rumored to automatically sub anyone who lives in the region) will just be another thing with big numbers, and nothing else.
@Kenneth Paquito 1) Some users from India already proved this to be false 2) India is fucking huge and T-Series is almost the Indian version of Vevo. Of course it's gonna grow fast.
@Kenneth Paquito Im from India and ive been using YouTube since 2008, I don't know a single person who got subscribed to t series automatically. Now, the burden of proof lies on the accuser.
Luka Rankovic2018-10-13 07:05:47 (edited 2018-10-13 07:06:47 )
just posted a T-Series theory comment The theory is that everyone who makes an account in India is automatically subbed to T-Series, just the messenger here
All we can do is watch YouTube become TV. And cry. Because this isn’t a matter of nostalgia for the old YouTube. It’s a matter of having something that is genuine. YouTube is no longer genuine.
Reason why annoying Vloggers are on the rise: Because monetization became more widespread, more "normies" became attracted to the platform. These "normies" picked vlogging, because it takes almost no talent, and you can pretty much make "content" if you have a lot of money and a high quality camera/drone.
Had the same idea that maybe this NPC thing is actually legit, because this "vlogger content" is so vapid and uninteresting. There is no soul or personality behind it.
Mr beast just saved pewdiepie today probably not for long

yea we will move on, when a new and better video website comes into existance. Twitch might fill that role if they decide to actually do video stuff like youtube does and not just livestreams,and if not twitch, then something else will come, and we will all mostly move to that.
not gonna lie that advertisement you did yourself was funny.
The thing is, T-Series is extremely suspicious of botting.

This is more than just youtube. The number 1 priority for every adult human in America right now is "Make money, fork said money over to large company."
Snidbert we need an internet "moses" if you will, someone to lead us. Spmeone to tell the other youtubers to jump ship. Someone who can rally the people and leave this consumed platflom. But before we can do that we'll need a destination (this can be quite difficult since every "youtube-esque" platflom that appears is quickly limited and hindered by lawsuits and special interests ex. Bitchute) Once we have said platflom convincing the youtube masses will be easy. Creators will migrate slowly bringing portions of their audience with them, the communities would be smaller but the content will be uncensored and unhindered by pesky algorithms. At this point youtube will be seen for the corporate machine that it really is(basically how we view cable t.v. right now) By then people will use YouTube for different reasons, they'll use it to watch ellen, trevor kimmel, music videos or what's the difference between a $1 prostate exam or a $200 prostate exam. In other words, youtube will be for the normies and our new platform will be for people who want what youtube once was or something entirely new, something made by the people for the people.
T- 800 that’s actually brilliant, I was thinking that as well, but the thing is we need to find people who are willing to do this and we don’t want a lot of people to find out about this haven we want to keep this from Normies
Youtube or a channel would have to do something so dumb and so bad even the corporations who advertise would abounded but what could yourtube or a creator do so bad that it kills them
Zach Stone what we desperately need most is a programmer to create this new website, a wealthy or business savy dude who believes in the idea of creative freedom, a group or a single lawyer who will defend the whole thing from the inevitable lawsuits and attempts to shut down the website. These are by far the most important things we need to even begin this journey, the internet "moses" thing will occur naturally once these things are all in place.
I'm going to school for web development, I could make the new site myself. I could market it by drawing comparisons to the old YouTube, and contrasts with the new YouTube. I could encourage others to upload all their videos to both YT and the new site, but occasionally make vids exclusively for the new site. Maybe call for February to become "National Don't-Upload-To-YouTube month."
Unfortunately YT has become a monopoly and will either destroy or merge any new upstart into itself as soon as it starts to gain traction. Same deal with Facebook and Twitter; they have no competitors.
No ships to stowaway on, the flagship we’re on just sinks all other ships. Without a ship that can withstand the SS. YT’s money and lawsuit bombardment, theres no hope.
Head to Bitchute. It's growing and the creators are listening to the people making the platform bigger. If you can ignore the political side, this site can give youtube a run for it's money, like VidMe almost did.
Cybernik The Robot sorry for being vague. I meant currently viable alternatives with even borderline comparable audience sizes, monetization options etc. There are a few similar websites but they're a far cry from YT where it counts, i.e. number of users, and they aren't serious competitors (at least yet) unlike e.g. various car, clothing, electronics etc. brands that offer similar, competitive products and can realistically challenge one another for the position of the market leader.
I do hope e.g. Bitchute or some such will eventually replace YT as the de facto video hosting site like FB replaced MySpace way back when.
Dailymotion supports monetization and if you want something almost as big as Youtube, you can look at Vimeo, but trust me the website is legit worse than Youtube.
@JasperHD i know you're just playing but that's actually a pretty good idea. I don't think pornhub would mind either there's a bunch of meme videos and vaporwave shit on there.
There will never be another show like SponeBob SquarePants... There will never be another YouTuber like PewDiePie... There will never be another emperor like Lemon...
Miss old youtube tbh. Ytp, lego tutorials, movie reviews, alan walkers animations, text document, 009 soundsystem, club penguin, fake tutorials of how to pirate games and stuff, unregistered hypercam, mlg memes, funny skits by smosh, ryan higa etc.
@DeathSkull I remember Smosh skits and ytp and MLG memes coming when Minecraft ruled YouTube, well when Minecraft came Club Penguin died and I remember Unregistered hypercam 2 being at the Minecraft area since a lot of Minecraft tutorials. And also remember the fake tutorials of how to get Minecraft for free?
i dont think anything changed when t-series got a hundred million subscribers, youtube is still shit, and i think even if pewdiepie got a hundred million subscribers, it would still be the same old youtube, shit and going downhill. aka everyone got scared t-series was going to ruin youtube even though youtube was already down the shitter.
Optimism injections He's still the #1 youtuber, Indian Vevo doesn't count as a youtuber.
"Pander to 9year olds" is kinda what Pewds started with. I'm 80% sure Paul bros will grow up with their audience just as Pewds did. They're already pivoting that direction.
Isn't T-series also just a glorified playlist? It's just a bunch of mainstream crap that they jam into one youtube channel. that's essentially the same thing.
I never said I cared that much lol I'm just telling you why it's essentially just a glorified playlist.
So playlists have content from other peoples channels, or other peoples work. Content from other peoples channels == other peoples work being featured on that channel. T-Series essentially just uploads other peoples work aka, features other peoples work on their channel. Taken directly from the wiki page, it say's that "T-Series is a film production and record label company, that focuses primarily on music videos and movie trailers." That's it... That means people who want to make something go to them to get it produced. by doing that the company essentially owns the creators work, and therefore has the right to distribute it on something like their YouTube channel. This means that their youtube channel is just a collection of other peoples work. and what else is a collection of other peoples work? A playlist, I.e a glorified playlist...
Not to mention practically everyone in India seems to be auto subbed to the channel. and India has a huge population of people. so that kills it's legitimacy right there. This channel will pass Pewdiepie, and no one is going to care. it's just going to awkwardly sit at the top and become an internet meme. T-Series might be the most subscribed channel, but pewdiepie will still be the most subscribed Youtuber.
1: this isn't some political debate, I wasn't using a "straw man" I was just telling you why I believed they were essentially a playlist. Jesus Christ stop being so defensive.
Also I never said a playlist was or wasn't specifically re uploaded content. I just said it was content created by different people put together in one list. Of course, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. but when it comes to channels like Youtube Music, it usually is.
2: Yeah I've heard that as well and maybe it's true, but a group of people claiming that doesn't mean it isn't happening to other people. but regardless if it is or not, it's obvious that the channel is being heavily pushed to them somehow. Most people who have subscribed are probably only subscribed due to it's mainstream reach and don't actually care about 90% of what they upload. The views reflects that.
3: here's the definition of "Youtuber" from google
a frequent user of the video-sharing website YouTube, especially someone who produces and appears in videos on the site.
Key words being "especially someone who produces AND appears in videos on the site" as opposed to "produces OR appears in videos on the site"
that's an important difference as it means a channel can't just produce content, or just appear in videos and be considered a youtuber. they have to play a major role in both processes. So nobody in a T-Series video is a youtuber, unless they have a separate channel or something
To be completely honest PewDiePie is still the number one youtuber, he is the singular face of his channel and T Series is just a pop music artist compilation channel, it's like the dozens or artists on T Series would have to be seen as a single person to make that apples to apples comparison. T Series is a youtube channel, but is not run by a youtuber.
It was all that WSJ article that did it. Everything from the increasingly corporate nature of Youtube, to the respect PewDiePie gets starts from that article. For me, I hated PewDiePie back in 2012-2013, I thought he was an obnoxious brat who ruined games with stupid jokes. I remember looking up Slender because I heard how scary it was, but I watched Felix's video, without knowing who he was at the time, and he just ruined the game. I also wanted to watch him play Bully, but his facecam blocked the game and he skipped a lot of it, so based on those experiences, I hated him. But then, after 2014, I just forgot about him (at least as much as you can with Youtube promoting him everywhere) and he faded. Then the article came out, I went back to his videos, and found out how much he had changed. I think why people like him is that he's a defiant voice against corporate censorship and pc bullshit, he's become too big for Youtube to remove his channel or even deperson him. Also, considering he's a millionaire, he probably makes most videos as sort of a hobby where he can be himself. Felix's story is pretty inspiring, not just for an average man becoming famous, but also how that same man was hated by the majority of Youtube at first, but eventually he became beloved among the creators. It really feels like Corpro-Tube is upon us and we're sort of stuck with it.

MrMike855 I think blaming the article for his decline is a little simplistic, especially when a good part of the YouTube community defended him for it. If that was the case, the decline would’ve been far more dramatic.
And yeah, the brofist army shit was pretty obnoxious back in the day, lol
@Be N S O N The article contributed to Youtube trying to suppress his channel. Even if everyone other than the feminists were on his side, the legacy media wasn't, and the legacy media had the power to influence Youtube's advertisers. As a result, they began burying his channel, but since he was so massive, it wasn't very successful for a while. However, it appears that we're on the verge of Youtube getting its way, though Felix has held out as #1 for longer than EmperorLemon thought.

MrMike855 Assume an alternate reality where the legacy media and the feminists didn’t go after him - do you seriously think he would remain ahead of conglomerates like that Indian channel forever?
It’s not even that his channel isn’t growing anymore - it still is, other channels are just growing much faster now.
One of the most impressive things about PewDiePie is that he hasn't let it get to his head much. He hasn't become a monster like many Vloggers or Popstars - he's still a somewhat amiable dude.
Wow, he is actually going to lose, well this is going to wrap up the man who changed YouTube forever and made countless people laugh though out the years, and who inspired million of kids to make gaming channel, sure that weren't that good but he inspired us he inspired us! How it a lifeless money making machine like t-series going to make a greater impact...
Can we get a different website please? Twitch has taken the lets plays, can we get somewhere else for the ‘broadcast yourself’ content to live? Or is the path YouTube has taken just inevitable for any similar site?
Dunno if your gonna see this but, Video idea, has T-Series actually benefitted pewdiepie? i mean the amount of subscribers he’s got in the last 2 months is insane
I find it hilarious how his video today is number 1 on trending. It’s almost as if YouTube has finally taken our side in DESTROYING THE T SERIES MENACE.
10:24 did you just put a fucking site like topten and prove that he was the most hated youtuber? yeah no buddy. 10:37 "He was hated for many of the reasons the paul brothers are hated today" It's clear that you have no idea who Pewdiepie was if you just compared him to the paul brothers lmao. Yes he was pretty loud, sometimes even annoying and obnoxious but never did he ever resembled anything like the eye-cancer the paulbros or ricegum are. He was still a down to earth, genuine guy even back then. Those qualities are the reason people liked him and still do.
I mean, Dollar shave club can only really sell to adults. I'm going to guess the majority of people watching this type of content on YouTube would be an older demographic. Dollar shave club also seems to advertise on basically any channel and doesn't seem to care, hey I can't complain they seem to have a bit of a sense of humor at least.
@Bread-kun I've seen Dollar Shave advertise on PBG's channel, and he's fairly kid-friendly (but attracts a bunch of manchildren like myself anyways so ehh idk)
Why not sponsor? The ship of YouTube is sinking, and it ain't gonna rise again. Everyone's just grabbing all the valuables and making their way in the rescue boats, Google included. Everyone can see what's happening.
I still consider Felix the no.1 YouTuber. T-Series is not real. It's mindless. Shit went down hill when fucking Google changed their whole ethos. Even changed their saying. When they changed it from "Don't Be Evil" shit went south from there.
T-series is gaining thousands of subs per minute, yet they still get around 200k-1mil views on their recent videos when they're at 65.6mil subs+? That's a ton of empty subscribers
Well Pewdiepie gets less than 10 million views on 60 million subs, I don't think any Youtuber with tens of millions of subs gets views anywhere close to their sub numbers, all of them have a lot of empty subs
@Drizzt Do Urden pakistanis,bangladeshis,sri lankans, nepalis, afghans, some traffic comes from mid east and africa.(there are 10s of millions indians, pakistanis in usa,canada,australia and europe)
Amadeus Alberto T-Series still has more empty subscribers than Pewdiepie. T-Series can't even break a million views unless their video features a really popular celebrity, not even mentioning the good amount of Pewdiepie fans watching their videos to dislike.
@Aereto Math skills, im.student of informatic system engineery, im extrem good in math, more than as you will never be, more than as pews are, abd more than as people from.t serires is, after all what are you even talking about?, do you understand what i fucking say?, EVERYONE HAS empy subscribers, absolutly EVERYONE, who cares how many?, do you know that t series, as vevo, has videos with more views than pewdiepie's most watched video? thousend of millions of views, and many videos, not only one. Its what i say, everyone in YouTube has empy subscriber, and, worst for fanboys, t series has videos with more views, do you want math?, solve a system inequations with the transport method and northwest corner, or use simplex with m method, you dont even really calculate anything with views and subribers, is just talking.
It's not T-serie's fault. It's the garbage algorithm

Pewdiepie started off being a normal guy, famous for being an immature, edgy gamer. Over time, he moved on to playing simpler games, which everybody was more interested in, people were getting bored of horror game let's plays over and over. 2016 he did challenges and later 2016-early 2017 he made 'comedy' content. All he was doing was appealing to the masses and what they wanted, despite his arising mental health issues. He was still the same edgy, swearing, obnoxious person, hated by many but loved by Youtube. But now he wasn't himself, but a brand.
Then the infamous 'incident' came in 2017, which represented a huge turning point. Youtube completely cut ties with him, and he went it alone. Later the same year, the 'bridge' incident as well as the adpocalyse came along, which really started to limit his content. 2018 Pewdiepie is a completely different character. He's moved on from his old 'edgy' character, while it's not completely gone, he's far more mature. His humor now is based on sarcasm and irony. He's making an effort to retain his existing fans, and he's happy with that.
The current pewdiepie is the best pewdiepie. He is himself, not a character (despite his actual character on pewnews). I enjoy his content now, and have respect for him.
I've been following pewdiepie for 6 years. I don't know where you get the edgy crap and all the other half of your BS from. You're exaggerating most of his youtube journey. He's still the same guy, He grew up, yes, but he didn't really become a different person.
A better name than pewdiepie is pooderpie :). He is my favorite entertainment every single day and yes, his old content could fill a 100 hour cringe complilation!! 2018 has been his best!! Pooderpie 4eva, #swag, #fistmebro!!!
Hit the nail right on the head as always. People on YouTube now use it literally as platform to boost themselves to getting commercials and acting deals and making money so they just care about making the one viral video that will make them famous. And while Pewdiepie made and continues to make a lot of money on YouTube, he really is just a guy who wanted to record himself playing video games and have fun. Back in the day, Pewdie himself said he would keep making YouTube videos even if he wasn’t super popular. And while most YouTubers say the same thing, with Pewdiepie I genuinely believe it. I never counted VEVO’s as contenders as most popular YouTube channels but it is sad to see essentially the King of YouTube being dethroned. There will never be another Pewdiepie and I’m so glad he’s became as successful as he did because he really deserves it. #BroArmyForever
I'm 15 right now and for my entire time in school, Pewdiepie has been on top and I've watched him since 2012, when I was just 9 years old (hahaha 9 year olds amirite). I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to Felix and this makes me really depressed honestly. I guess the fact that T-Series is a company makes it a bit easier to deal with.
I do legitimately wonder what the next big trend will be.
The Let’s Play genre is dead. Now, I know good and well that there are current Let’s Players. However what do they all have in common?: They’ve existed for years at this point. They were able to ride to the top off of the trend, then even once it died they could coast off of that. However, can you name a single current, relevant Let’s Play YouTuber that first started since, say... 2015/16?
These trends bring people to the top, but then move on before most can easily capitalize off of it in imitation.
Damn, that sort of hit me. Pewdiepie isn't part of a corporate machine, or an MCM, or even a weird partnership thing like what the paul brothers have going on. He's an honest-to-god independant youtuber. That's who youtube was supposed to be for. That's who was king of the hill. That was Pewdiepie. That was why he was on top. Now that it isn't, his reign is over. They finally won. Now, you ask, "Who's on top of youtube?" And whoever you're talking to would depress just a little bit. "No one important." That's really the only answer to that question. And that just isn't right, that shouldn't be the answer. Why isn't "Top of the #2 website" an important title, demanding respect? Because, that is no longer what youtube is. Youtube is nothing more than a billboard. The company who puts their ad on the billboard gets money. The company who made the billboard gets money. You and your ads can't be on the billboard. You aren't important enough.
Wait do you you guys actually consider T-Series? Like even if they are number 1, I would think of them as a vevo channel. Not a proper YouTube channel, I'd personally consider him number one even when t-series takes over because in my eyes they're just corporate garbage.
still though, being absolute #1 on Youtube is a title to behold on top of mega corporations. It's just not the same to say he's the #1 individual, because that would void the placement of the other mega corporations, and we can all say that Vanoss is the #2 most subscribed channel

RWJ's =3 and everything else that rose to the top of YouTube in the earlier days were such annoying vapid shit that it took PewDiePie's descent into madness to make the top look respectable.
It didn't "used to be more prestigious" unless you were a creator, I guess.
Justin Bieber is still near the top of that list. We are talking about that which is trash among bad taste.
Pewdiepie will always be the number one youtuber. Its not about having the most subscribers or views. Its because he has become the face of the platform.
personally I feel youtubers just really don’t care about their subscribers as much as they used to. i rarely see youtubers make thank you videos for their subscribers. the ones that do just dont seem genuine.. at all.. i think thats why leafy was so popular. i personally didnt like him but you could tell that he loved his audience. thats why they were so loyal. same with pewdiepie you can tell that he loves his fans and what he does. thats how the early days of youtube felt like its sad to see that missing nowadays.

Sure he wont be the most subscribed but that channel will only have influence in a single country vs worldwide with pewds. He has the greatest reach
Watch, the SECOND T-Series passes Pewds, YouTube is gonna terminate his channel. They won’t have to worry about the bad press of terminating “the biggest channel” anymore, once that happens. Because let’s be real here, it’s so god damn obvious YouTube despises him.
vulpix We also would have thought that YouTube making subscriptions meaningless, and hoarding all of the money they make through demonitization couldn’t ever happen, but YouTube did it, and the backlash only lasted a week.
If YouTube deletes Pewdiepie, the backlash against them will last a week at most, as the people who care, make up a small, easily replaceable segment of the site. If they leave, new kids will just replace them, and YouTube knows all of this.
Marioman303 we aren’t 9 anymore man. We grew up. I’ve been telling people for a while that Pewds is on the downturn. Pewdiepie as a character is dead. The channel is Felix being done with life. I still think he’s funny. And his opinions have become more and more sensible over time. YouTube doesn’t like it but if they got rid of him the site would go up in flames
Spencer Whiteway from what I've heard, every Indian that ever makes a YouTube account is automatically subscribed to t-series. So the channel is hand in hand with YouTube, because you gotta pull some strings in their corporate puppet show in order to make that happen to an entire country
PewDiePie wasn't deleted for the same reason Logan or JakePaul wasn't... they still have massive fanbases who give theur videos billions of views and make Youtube milliins of dollors every year.
Good video, but the Let’s Play genre did not start with pewdiepie. With all due respecf, channels like machinima, chuggaaconroy, etc. had predated him for years.
Man, T-Series is like VEVO, it is not a person rather an "organization" which means Pewdiepie is still the #1 Youtuber (Not Channel, Youtuber as in single person)
lets all make 3 accounts to subscribe to pewdiepie so he can have a chance against t series. Come on people it wont take much time but if a million people do it we can gain over 3 million subscribers its not hard!
I remember back in 2007-2008 some channels (that kinda had a tinfoil hat vibe) that were complaining about YouTube's changes and parodied YouTube by calling it "HuluTube". Turns out they were right, they just got the time scale wrong. It happened much more gradually than they predicted.
I'd argue that subscribers do matter to a point, for example I have just over 200 and my average view counts are around 180 per video. The more subscribers I have the more my videos will get watched, the more they get watched the more they get recommended, and that's when subscribers stop mattering.
4:41 Nostalgia just hit me like a train I did not remember how his channel used to look like! I subscribed to him when he was about at 25 M. I'm so proud I've been part of his YouTube journey for over four years, and I know Tseries isn't the end of it, but juste the end of an era, as you said yourself.
i don’t even remember how long ago I started watching pewdiepie. years ago, and i honestly miss those days. this video made me feel really sad. i still remember watching his amnesia gameplays.
The Beggining of the collapse of content creators.
T-Series took over.. then, corporations will dominate the site, Content Creators won't even get a hundred subs or views, and then, JUST THEN, YT MIGHT, only MIGHT realize they fucked up... all the way untill it's too late.
Random note, but I feel like that News station is a slight reference to Youtube Poop News, a series from yeeears ago! If so, it was an amazing reference!
Yes but its sad that Youtube is just a corprate shill now instead of the loving and toxic community it was. As time goes on Corporations at the top will be the norm. It will become a new tv which is really sad.
@ketruB well I wouldn't say that. Unlike leafy he does seem to actually do something when shit hits the fan. Like behind the meme's stupid suicide videos. And hell he went from plain dumb youtube poops to commentary that focuses more on the truth. I'm not saying he won't die out but to me he'll actually last longer than leafy due to experience and the warning of what you shouldn't do as a growing channel.
@dragonslayermaster ornstein I'm talking about YT silencing him out until he dies. If he gets that popular, the moment he gets into any drama, he's gone. YouTube will silence his channel and try to make it look as a result of that drama.
you said that its sad that youtube isn't gonna promote him etc. I don't think that's sad, i think that's the best part. That means all the views and all the influence he still has is only because of him. He doesn't rely on some internet company for a living, he relies on himself. I think if one day youtube died, pewdiepie would still emerge on top of the new platform the youtubers flee to, or quite possibly one of the only people who survives it because he doens't depend on youtube
I'm conflicted on the fact that you DIDN'T go with the spotlight on Uranus... something tells me that, yes, it would have been SOOOOO so bad, but then again...
Not really impressed that what is basically the only music label in India has more subscribers than 1 memelord just because the country is finally getting some basic technology.
I'm glad to have been watching YouTube since about 2007/8. I got to see the site go through its glory years, but it's so much sadder to look at what it's become. YouTube has run the course of the human race, only at an exponentially faster rate. It started out as something rather beautiful, and as it progressed it flourished. And after that, simply mistake after mistake has happened and it's slowly died. We still use it because there are great things happening here, with certain channels and relics of the past, but yeah. The site has withered, and cunts like Susan Wojcicki aren't going to do fucking anything to breathe life back into the site and the real content creators because they don't care about anything but money. It's heartbreaking to watch something once beautiful become the "bad end" of capitalism.
I started using Youtube in 2005 and saw it begin with hardly any content and what was available was extremely low quality. As it grew, competition pushed the quality of videos to new levels of creativity (and clickbait). While I do miss the interactive days of youtube where you could upload your own wallpaper to your channel and reply with video replies, to be honest the amount and quality of content has grown to be much better. So don't feel that bad. It might not be much better, but it's definitely not worse than when it started. Though I agree, it's lost its soul.
+EverestBlizzard "YouTube has run the course of the human race, only at an exponentially faster rate. It started out as something rather beautiful, and as it progressed it flourished." ... What do you mean by that?
I mean that humanity was technically something new and beautiful when it first came into existence. As the years passed, humanity was able to achieve such things as civilisation, technology, advancements in science, etc etc- the more time passed, the better things got (standard and comfort of living, mortality rates and more.) This has happened over thousands of years. YouTube started off as something new-or, at the very least, did what it did better than its competitors-and as it grew it got better and better-adsense became a thing, quality of content and resolution increased drastically, the UI improved, ordinary people could become famous and make money off the site-everything was great. Then mistakes, such as google+, happened, and after that it's been getting worse and worse for creators with minor improvements to other parts of the site along the way, just as humanity is in a slow decline as if we continue the current course, we're dead, just as the site could be called now in a technical term, as it has lots its soul and has become a machine opposed to what it was in the golden years. Sorry if the explanation is a bit crap!
YouTube is one of the places I grew up, started watching when I was 7 back in 2007 when a friend showed me some videos when I had first moved into his neighborhood. Been watching for 11 years now and now I am 18. I remember hating PewDiePie back a few years ago because as mentioned in the video I thought is fan base was Uber obnoxious (I would cringe any time anyone mentioned a barrel), I remember one time I was watching videos with a friend and he wanted to put on a PewDiePie video and I told him that one of his videos was not to be played on my account, lol. Now I find myself watching basically all of his content given he is a lot different now, and I think we’ve both grown a lot through the years with YouTube. Just too sad to see this happening and know that the day where I leave YouTube after it has become an unrecognizable shithole is all the closer.
The thing is, youtube, ten years ago was just internet people , just like the internet itself (mainly on the days when forums were popular), it was confomed by internet freaks with their own humor (like old memes).
Nowdays, the internet freaks are still there, still doing their own thing, but everyone has gotten here too, memes are mainstream, tv is looking at the internet since now there´s "normal" people here.
I miss the days when caramelldansen was viral on youtube too, but this platform hasn´t been about "internet people" or "freaks" for quite some time
I think the bigger question is "What comes AFTER Youtube". Let's be real, nothing lasts forever. Especially not on the internet. At this point I'm slowly transitioning my speculation for the "next big thing". If/when it happens, my hope is that we, as a community, use Youtube as an example going forward and to do our best not to repeat it (although that's honestly wishful thinking).
That being said, it's hard to believe that things have turned out this way in what feels like a short time.
The golden age of Youtube flickers out on a somber note.
loads of people hate pewdiepie. many people find 'commentary' and similar content obnoxious and antics like saying the n word means many people dislike him
Disagree IMO. The fact that this is surprising is due to how the majority of the west have no cultural recognition of T-Series. This will not change; if the majority of the west didn't know about them when they had 40 mill, them having 70 mill is not gonna change much of how the western internet culture era looks. Are you guys seeing a lot of T-Series sidebar suggestions? I'm not lol.
Remember when companies boycotted YouTube? Just to go back and use it themselves, it's honestly bullshit that YouTube lets companies onto YouTube after they get shit on and t series shows clips of movies and how is that entertainment? Duh the clips are entertainment to some but in general even with something like, Ellen it's a shit show but it has a personality with something like t series there is no personality it's just men with business suits and I can't believe that we even put Pewdiepie and t series in the same boat, they aren't the same so if t series surpasses Pewdiepie then I don't care I won't see t series as number 1 because it's a company and Pewdiepie isn't it's more impressive when that happens when a company is number 1 I won't care I'll ignore them.

I can't stand PewDiePie's old videos, I tried watching some of his videos from before the Dark Souls 3 gameplay, which is the time I started watching him, and I had to constantly regulate the volume due to all the annoying shouting. And even those DS3 videos had a bit of unnecesary screaming. But nowadays I truly respect Felix to the point that I consider him a role model. His content is not the best, he has some pretty mediocre videos here and there but he's an honest, down to earth, humble guy despite being rich, he is engaged with his basically lifetime girlfriend and he has a job he likes to do; he's basically what I aspire to be. Plus everytime he uploads one of his "serious" videos talking about any controversy or serious topic I just find myself either agreeing with him or surprised of how we think the same. I guess I just really admire the guy so for me he's still number one, T-Series is just a corporate brand like Vevo.
Pewdiepie will still be the #1 Most subscribed Youtuber, just not the most subscribed youtube channel. A corporation is taking that spot, not an individual. Pewdiepie is still #1
@EmpLemon You read comments don't ya? Do a video about the NPC meme. You don't have to have a conservative stance. NPC'S are referred to in the pop culture side of things as normies. This meme has a powerful impact on today's society on how the people you referred to in the Jimmy Kimmel video and normies. Twitter is already banning NPC accounts. Please respond and please make a video on it.
I don't really give a shit about T-Series being number one by the end of the year. It's Pewdiepie who's important to me, not T-Series. Pewdiepie will always be my number one.
The Ice Climbers music from around 10 minutes gave me flashbacks of getting wobbled to 299%. Besides that, I love your videos. They are smart, funny, and well done. Keep up the good work.
T-Series : has over 1000 people working on videos just to get where they are now
PewDiePie: has 3
PewDiePie will always be number 1 in my eyes cause he works HARD on his stuff either By himself or Brad n Brad 2 Das it. That's all he needs. I'm sorry but T-Series is NOT a YouTuber, it's a corporation. So pewdiepie still ranks over these people
youtube is trying to plot again pewds. I mean they released that paul movie thing regardless of the drama. Yet pewds gets crap from that incident. Yt is trying to get him out of the platform because they gotta push their agenda and maybe he is one of the few youtubers with the mentality of a true content creator rather than just pulling crap.
Captain Klyde 2005-2012 - Ytp, lego tutorials, 009 soundsystem, club penguin, text document and fake tutorials of how to pirate video games, unregistered hypercam, mlg memes, funny skits by smosh, ryan higa etc. Simple times you know what i mean. 2012-2016 - Minecraft lets plays, and different games all of youtube turned into gaming content. It was cool. 2017-2018 - Fortnite, cancerous youtubers like logan, jake and many more drama all over youtube.
@ojigbo Animations were never that huge on Youtube to become a meta. Sure, we have a few big artists, but not everyone is doing it because the animation community became its own sub-community. (Sorry if that doesn't make too much sense.)
disclaimer: the extreme over-generalizations made in this comment are what makes it a joke. I’m well aware that I missed some key points within YouTube’s life, but if I was seriously trying to summarize the detailed history of YT in a comment then it wouldn’t be a joke ,’)
2005-2008 People just casually making videos about random stuff. Some decide to make skits and stuff. 2009-2012 Minecraft and Let's Plays in general get big. Channels like Pewdiepie and Markiplier begin to rise. Ytps, Gmod stuff, Lego type stuff. 2013-2015 We begin to see a shift in Youtube to more corporate from both the company itself and some of its users. Gaming is still going strong, vloggers begin to get bigger, and later on we begin to see annoying people like the paul brothers. 2016 I feel like 2016 was a unique year. It was before a ton of channels went corporate, and when there wasn't a metric shit ton of drama. 2017-now Earlier, youtubers go through major drama, likely fabricated for publicity. The goal of many users of the platform quickly shifts from genuine good content to trying to get as much ad revenue as possible. I feel like this is when youtube as we once knew it dies. Farewell Youtube, hopefully we will one day have another site to replace you, or a new movement will start on this site to oppose how corporate it's gone and begin to make tons of content not appropriate for ad revenue, begin to speak out about what youtube has become, etc. However, youtube is a business at the end of the day, and nothing we can do aside from mass boycotting will fix their current methods.

T series are technically not youtubers, sure they are the most subscribed channel and took pewdiepie's pesition from being the most stubbed channel but they are not youtubers, its like saying that 20th centery fox channel has youtubers in it, t series are a tv network and pewdiepie is still the most subbed youtuber
I really wouldn't consider people like game grumps or pewdiepie LP'ers when you have the old channels still going that focus on a balance of gameplay and commentary, rather than just commentary. Calling them LP'ers gives the people doing let's plays for over 5 years the shaft.
Emp is not making the reality check 2018, probably because THIS YEAR'S YT rewind got HAMMERED!, to the point it is the #2 most disliked video of ALL TIME!
I don’t care. T-Series is a corporate music channel while Pewdiepie is an INDEPENDENT self-risen creator. He is number #1 in my book of YouTubers, not a corporate music business that’s its own thing. It’s music not a gaming, vlogging, or react channel... but a music channel. Pewds is always the King of YouTube in my heart 🖤❤️
He’s still going to be the number one Youtuber, because Tseries is just a corporate account that automatically subscribes any Indian account. He’s still the largest single creator. He’ll still be the king
I don't know if anyone will see this, but everyone, YT Rewind 2018 is so close to surpassing JB's Baby in dislikes! Wuickly , get to disliking the rewind, and if possible, un-dislike 'Baby'! We are so close.
HolaSoyGerman has been involved in sketchy practices of using bots and many Chilean YouTubers pointed out but it kinda went under the rug after German made some sort of "You are my followers not robots" so.. Somehow he just keep growing. But whatever
I'm not sure, I dont use the subscribe button that way, but I feel like most users use it as a "Like button" but for the channel
As for today, I'm still very picky to the channels I sub, I dont want shit when I go to my actual subs page. But most of the time I just surf on the home page, and it has got to the point where I follow channels I'm not subbed to. Like screwAttack that does the death battle thing (wich, yea, is childish, so what, fight me). I better not sub to them bcz they spam a fk ton of shiet. As when I just let the algorithm work, I just get the good stuff on my homepage
Then I use the sub page just to make sure that youtube dont "hide" stuff I want from me. Like some random obscure Armored Core (the game) channel, a (hopefully good) freddyw upload, minute physics, 2blue1brown etc
So I looked up wolfychu, and I was just about to burn my eyes. But to understand where you're coming from, I needed to click on a video. Now I want to burn my ears.
But in all seriousness, we should just leave people alone and not interfere
How do they have so many computers in india? I mean this is the same place where people live in tarp huts and shit in the street right next door to modern cities.
But even if pewdiepie gets passed it's not gonna matter because t series is a company a faceless company. Pewdiepie is just a guy with a couple of editors. I think we'll all still see him as number 1
Heeeey, but how 'bout that Minecraft tho?! PewDiePie somehow did it. He beat the system. I'm not subscribed because i don't really see a point to jump in the oversaturated bandwagon so i can give someone i don't bother watching attention from me that he hasn't really earned, but regardless you have to respect his balls.
And one final prayer for the death of Fortnite: We won't miss you. Amen.
We need to have a protest. Get a bunch of good youtubers together to promote it. Have people physically come together in various cities and protest in livestreams on YouTube. Have the biggest protest outside of HQ. start from there
TSeries can't be considered a ''youtuber'' it's more like a company channel. like pepsi is. ''why did i choose pepsi?, maybe i want a pepsi...'' you won't go to a pepsi video here on youtube and comment something like ''you're my favorite youtuber'' it doesn't really make sense does it ? anyway is not really like it matters, you youtube folks are always making a big deal out of everything. how about a terraria gameplay tomorrow ?
AlphaRW Hilary Clinton was also predicted to win the election by a landslide too. Predictions can be wrong, especially if people are rallied behind one side
@Aaron Landry but, it seems very, very unlikely that t series' growth will stop, growth just doesn't disappear overnight. The only way it could be possible for pewds to win at this point is t series having a controversy that makes youtube hate them (also extremely unlikely), pewds is at a point where he has run out of people that can promote him, and can no longer grow at a rate to pass t series, within a couple weeks, pewdiepie's recent gains will shift, and no new people will be able to promote him. I predict a T series takeover somewhere around february at the max. Comparing this to the election predictions is different because, a presidential election occurs at one point while this is constant, T series' growth has to stop but, it can't stop within the next few months to allow pewdiepie to obtain his spot on #1. And t series IS in fact gay.
AlphaRW People predicted the same thing last month and Pewdiepie started gaining subs and is able to compete with T-series. My point is that these predictions were incorrect
I agree with this, but when talking about gaming on youtube, why does nobody talk about the fucking nerd, y'know, The Angry Video Game Nerd, James Rolfe, Nerdy Turd? He's still relevant-ish. Hey, maybe do a Never Ever on him. Show em the good old days.
And of course, he's replaced by some scrubbed-clean music corporation. Not surprised it's Indian, India is a massive market. I'm also not surprised that it's a corporate collective. However, I'm deeply saddened by the end of independent personality-run gamers.
Porter Rodney wait how is he being replaced? No one is leaving PDP’s channel to watch T Series. It’s a completely different market. T Series is an Indian language music channel run by a business. He may be #2 soon but no one actually cares about T series outside the Indian language market.
Well now I feel dumb; for not knowing this; for an entire year now.......YouTube is truly corporate, or dead or both. It's weird though, So weird. I'm just not sure what to call YouTube, because it doesn't seem like it's anything anymore. Mine as well be called Y(u)E.
I'll be honest, I don't think Pewdiepie has been dethroned.
Think about this. What is Pewdiepie known as? That's right, most subscribed Youtuber, not most subscribed YouTube channel. The most subscribed YouTube channel is "Music" (a channel made by YouTube).
T-Series, on the other hand, is not even a Youtuber. It's a corporation.
(and the whole auto sub thing is bullshit so yeah)
Glorioustigereye Yup it is a hoax.I think people who started this are the same people who probably Subbed them through survey or any other indirect method
@Timmy I agree with you. Pewdipie is the No.1 YouTuber. But so many myths floating about this topic troubles me. Guess I'll have to make a video clearing all the myths.
What's the point of the no swearing rule I think if parents were concerned about their children watching videos with swears in them wouldn't they just download YouTube kids. It just doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.
It's really unfair that a shitty company is going to surpass an individual like pewds, still, once it happens then to me creativity in Youtube is dead and instead, companies are at the top.
Pewdiepie's content is actually pretty shit right now, but you really need to respect him. He tried. He really tried to just do something he wanted. But people in our world don't like that.
Most effective way to end corporate YouTube is by ending the revenue earned on YouTube. People shouldn't earn money from YouTube, it could be from external sources such as Patreon, however YouTube should not provide revenue for content creators. Providing revenue will encourage YouTubers to create dead content that's only purpose is revenue farming in YouTube, taking that away will leave content creators who are only there for the love of making videos, and viewers who love the creators, some of which would support the creator financially. Obviously this will have a major knock-on effect for not only YouTube, but also for the creators, and viewers; YouTube will receive less visitors of the site, less business opportunities, although more revenue from the cuts of costs for paying YouTubers; content creators will be directly affected as most creators will lose their drive for making videos, but it will shave off those who are only their for the revenue and are content/revenue farming, and leave those who are: interested in making videos, or are loyal to the site and their viewers, or receive financial support from other sources, although they will benefit from the freedom of the decreased community guidelines (to which are there for YouTube to benefit so other corporate entities do not abandon them); the viewers will also be affected negatively by the change, they will see alot less of some of the channels they enjoyed who were there for financial support, however they could see an increase in content created for the love of creating content, for example my channel, I do not monetise any of my videos (understandable I do not upload at as much), I only make them because I enjoy it; this change will overall benefit all people on YouTube, while also understandably creating setbacks for them.
I know it might seem like a bad idea, but honestly, the direction YouTube is heading in, moving back is necessary for YouTube, because at some point, YouTube is going to get filled with creatively dead channels, that exploit the algorithms, leaving the creatively flourishing channels to die.
@Control Room Then how did AVGN continuously make funny content for so long? He's been around since the dawn of YouTube and was one of the first channels to really make a series of content and besides the dead period when he was doing his movie, he has been going at it for all this time, before monetization on YouTube was even an option. Even without direct monetization, there's other sources of revenue like patreon and twitch. So your argument is completely baseless.
Because there's also more examples, AVGN is just the best one. ADoseOfBuckley for example has been running since 2010 and only just quit making content this year from burnout, he has stated numerous times that he has not ONCE clicked the monetize button on any of his videos, the only times his videos had ads on them is when music companies claimed them for themselves.
Sure, he's sold t-shirts and special content on bandcamp once and a while, but those didn't actually make him that much money, maybe like $2000 dollars or so I think. Dude actually sold off an oven mitt of his once on ebay and gave all the money away to charity just to one-up Kim Kardashian's "charity".
Youtube has to make money to exist. That's why there are ads on youtube. Not so creators can make money from their videos. They were implemented so google could make some profit off this site, which they still haven't done all these years later.
I think it's too late for that. Once you go corporate, there's no going back. It's like the gaming industry: Why spend years making a good game, when you can spend one year, charge full price and add more chunks as you go along which are marketed as DLC? The gamers will always queue up for their favorite title, and they'll play it and buy all the DLC no matter how bad it is. Maybe it's time for a new YouTube, or just a new 'thing' altogether.
Shame only that Patreon thought-polices, so if you do wrongthink on twitter for instance, chanses of your patreon account being deleted is pretty high, like above 60% high. Visa, and other such money transfer systems also do this, but not to a similarly extreme degree, yet.
@J Johnson "Collapsing" omegalul what a joke Collapsing =/= slowing in growth Isn't that how an economy functions anyway? Use money to make more money?
@J Johnson just because chinas economy has slowed from "fucking rediculous amounts of growth" down to "fantastic amount of growth" doesnt translate to "The Chinese economy is collapsing right now"
India has goth rate of 6.6%, the fastest growing economies are in sub-Saharan Africa. Poor countries tend to grow faster cause they had a lot of untapped potential which with a little bit of freedom in the market has suddenly boomed. Where as the west has entrenched corporations who don't mind paying a few million out of their billions so the poor shut up and take the welfare. after all if people stay satisfied and all their basic needs met they will be happy consumers and not potential competition. For the rich Africa China India are all just good places to invest and make even more money.
The corporatization of youtube is and was the worst thing thats ever happened to it. Youtube was supposed to be TV by the people, for the people. Brand content sucks.
Websites and trends die my dear friends. MySpace, msn, Facebook, AOL. And YouTube is on its way out as well. Corporate Greed is censoring what becomes popular in this website. It’s no longer the YouTube we grew up loving. We must find a new website. A website where video creativity should be encouraged a free website
India not exactly a fair market to compare a Swedish dude that got popular in Sweden, Italy, GB and America compared to a country that eat all those combined with enough for Poland+
I hope after PewDiePie loses his number one spot he starts becoming more like the consternation he watches like E;R or that if the loses his spot he should just bully YouTube
Just noticed something: this video showed up in my sub feed as it should, i clicked on your channel to check if i missed something before this (didn't) but i noticed your new vid wasn't showing up in your uploads. I thought i got a glimpse of your vid before you probably privated it but no, it was in my sub feed all and proper. Not the first time i check somebody's channel after they upload within <20 min, but the first time ive seen this happen. Maybe im superstitious, but montezon IS watching you closely, and he might be doing something subtle.
Do y'all really watch pewdiepie or is it just the memes around him people like? Because pewdiepies recent content is really not entertaining. Like ironic meme compilation reaction videos are just as bad as unironic ones.
Nahhh t series will be the most subbed but it sure as hell won’t be the the channel with the most people subbed to it. Cause street shitter’s are not real people
@Shady Triceratops here's the problem with that. Their viewer count on their videos is questionable. What PewDiePie gets on a new videos in a day, T-Series gets on a new video the next week. I get that the majority of a Youtuber's income comes from rewatches of older videos. But it's kind of odd for T-series's newer videos to take that a whole week to clear 1 million views when they're getting so many subscribers per day.
「Ocean Man」 The real issue is so many T Series videos have a low view count compared to their follower numbers. Something seems off about how fast they are growing.
@Eric tseries upload different kinds of videos. Some are song lyrics videos.. promo videos.. etc etc. People subscribing to tseries is just the population discovering internet. Nobody watches tseries videos. I myself have never subbed to tseries but my GF has and she never watches any videos. It's a way to get informed about latest songs and releases. I hope I was of some help.
@Blaster .M There's might be auto-sub thing if you watch too many videos of any channel. ( repeated) - now for the low views on the channel it's simple the more popular the singer/(cast of the movie) the more views on the music video/movie trailer in India. -In India we have multiple music streaming website but the availability of music is too spread out within multiple music streaming apps. So people just playlist that shit on YT and probably get Auto subbed. Coz music easily available on YT than a licensed song on stream.
Pewds is still the number one youtuber, since Tseries is basically a shitty compilation channel. Zero personality, just music videos and other corporate junk.
Jesus.... you spent 15 minutes blowing this guy only to really say nothing more than "He's a regular guy, just like you and me!" and "He stayed true to himself!" Cool f'ing story bro.... He's lame, unfunny, untalented and has done nothing but luck out by latching onto a trend early and riding the wave for as long as possible. He's opportunistic and lucky. Not talented or admirable.
There’s not a difference in these vine instagram kids followers mindless watching there content now and kids who mindless watched Pewdiepie. I was one of those kids who just mindlessly watched Pewdiepie and it’s not like quality of videos has changed, it’s more content.
It's kind of a glorified perspective on things to say that PewDiePie started and ended the Let's Play genre. Even back in the SomethingAwful days, when it was more or less a bubble of content creators, you had people high up the ranks like Cloud8745, ProtonJon, and Retsupurae. In fact, around the same time that PewDiePie surpassed 100,000 subscribers, I remember people like SeaNanners and Yogscast having somewhere around a million. Those are 2012 numbers, too-back when a million subscribers actually meant something. PewDiePie didn't popularize the Let's Play. He popularized screamer facecam #spoopi overreacted Let's Play that, more or less, evolved into the world of modern day vlogging.
But I think we can all agree, it is the end of something special, and for a lot of people, something with personal value coming to an end cartainly can feel like the end of the world, Speaking as a big Gravity Falls fan.
If we're being honest, PewDiePie's subscriber number is just tens of millions of empty subscribers. If you look at his most popular videos, literally only two have more views than his sub count.
My biggest problem of t-series beating PewDiePie is that they called him childish because he made the song bitch lasagna, but they managed to get PewDiePie banned in the entirety of India. (I'm not 100% sure about that last part so don't quote me on that.)
I didn't know that [people] still care about [thing of subjective importance] in [current year]. Come on mate, express your opinion in your own words, you don't need to use a template like the unoriginal commenters here who only care about likes. I believe in you. :P
I didn't know people still care about comment likes in 2018. Get over yourself. I express my opinion in any damn way I want. It's not like anybody is going to give a shit what a random commenter says unless they write a 500 word essay so that the Youtuber may perhaps see it.
WHY ARE WE COUNTING T-SERIES AS A CREATOR? Do we consider YouTube Gaming an independent YouTube channel? PewDiePie will still remain the most subscribed YouTuber. T-Series is simply a channel, and shouldn't be compared to PewDiePie
@IDont HaveOne David Firch is the creator of a Horror series on YouTube. You should check it out. If.. you can watch the whole thing. Its an old series , but recently YouTube has cracked down on the iconic show. You should research and watch it. And the creator is pretty active on Twitter constantly updating us on what happening.
Even if T series Takes over PewDiePie he will still be the biggest non corporate/business ran channel and T series gets a sub for every Indian person who has a you tube account they were still gaining subs when YouTube crashed
Here’s T-SERIES explained by an INDIAN (Some points you already mentioned and some I like to add)
1) People barely mention this point, just like America has Hollywood, India has Bollywood and each bollywood movie consists of many songs, these songs are published on TV as well as on the internet platforms way before the movie is released just to promote that movie, and T Series is one of the only platforms for those Hindi Songs
2) So those songs are not created FOR youtube, they are created FOR a part in the movie that are released as individual songs way before to promote that movie, and that’s the major reason they display ads on big channels, ads would promote those songs, the songs will promote the movie and the movie will get a massive opening which is the end goal (getting youtube views is NOT)
3) Apart from that, there are songs that are created by artists for their upcoming album and not for a movie, they DONT have their own individual channels so they are published on their music label’s channel and that music label happens to be T-Series
4) The inconsistency of views per video on T-Series videos can be explained very easily, the bigger the celebrity featured in the video, the more views it gets, people don’t say “Ohh, T-Series uploaded a new video” , it’s more like “Ohh my fav singer made a new song or it’s my favourite movie’s song”
5) To make a theory of why “T-Series” is big is ridiculous, just imagine VEVO having one common channel for all the artists instead of one channel for each artist
Infact just imagine Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Eminem, Drake, Post Malone, all of their songs COULD ONLY be found on one channel ONLY.....obviously they would have higher viewership, it’s just that you guys are not aware of big celebs in India and are surprised to see a channel come out of nowhere but if you think about it, it’s actually not that surprising
6) And lastly, I don’t think pewdiepie is getting “dethroned” , he is not the biggest youtube channel right now anyways (even though the ones that are bigger than him are youtube’s own channels but still....) , he is the biggest “Individual Creator” and he will remain the same even if T-Series crosses him (I think PhilyD made this point too)
Pewdiepie is already behind in subs to the Youtube Music and Movies channels. T-Series is literally that but Indian. Actually no T-Series is both of those combined but Indian
Anyways, when T-Series does surpass him(which somehow hasn't surpassed him yet), just view pewdiepie as the most subbed actual creator
wow i havent seen one of your videos in ages, i forgot what i was missing but huh... im still subscribed... thanks again youtube! only showing what i like! ..clearly not
11:30 What? There are plenty of people who strongly dislike him. Just because he changed the way in which he is terrible doesn't mean everybody likes him now. Is this some kind of ironic commentary I am not getting, you cannot be serious?
@freddy46 Not sure how that is relevant to what I said. But since you asked: I dislike his videos and his persona and the influence he has on his audience and the wider media landscape. I'd never use the word "hate" though.
@YensR 1. his persona is sarcastic, but yeah, even I sometimes get lost and don't know if he is sarcastic or not. 2. In my opinion, his effect on the wider media is positive (+ much more positive when compared to other large media corporations like WSJ, Vox, etc)
@freddy46 See, I am completely of the opposite opinion. I am not even sure I'd use the term sarcastic. Sarcastic implies some finesse and I just don't see that in his persona. When I say persona, I mean the person he is playing on social media. I have no idea about the human behind Pewd. Saying that Pewdee has more positive effect on the media than established news outlets is mindboggling to me. Nothing useful has ever come out of Pewdiepie IMO. What would you as a rightwinger say are pewd's main achievements that make him "much more positive when compared to other large media corporations"?
Are you not a rightwinger, then? Who was your favourite US presidential candidate or primary candidate of the last 11 years? Oh, and I did not make my assumption based on your like of Pewd, I made it based on your dislike of Vox, which generally is a clearer indicator.
Also, I get memes (probably not the same ones that you get) I just don't think his memes are funny. Now, if I were a right-leaning shitlord from kekistan and not some rando NPC from socialist venezuela...
The lack of positive media articles about Pewd doesn't mean that the negative ones are lying. Maybe the criticism is justified and you are wrong about him?
Most people, even on the left, do not think Pewd is a nazi. We just think he doesn't care enough to be anti-nazi and that makes him attractive to the right-leaners and therefore dangerous.
Pewd's memes are overwhelmingly catering to right-leaning people, there is very little in his stuff that is attractive to left-leaners.
Also, line breaks, man, line breaks!
What are the most pressing issues of the right according to Pewd when he is using his indoor voice?
@YensR I do not count my self as a rightwinger. also, I don't know if you realize this but ASSUMING stuff in front of people about the same people really makes you look bad and untrustworthy. you have to try to make yourself as unbiased as you can if you ever plan on convincing anyone anything. back to my response: "Now, if I were a right-leaning shitlord from kekistan and not some rando NPC from socialist venezuela..." you aren't my friend to make such claims and expect me to know how much you are exaggerating this. 1. well let's look at this "deserved" criticism from our friend VOX searches "VOX pewdiepie" - aha! pewdiepie, a person who is an antisemite because he recommended an "antisemitic" youtuber E;R (who is actually just really edgy) of course, beneath the 3 vids recommended is actually a neutral and maybe positive article about pewdiepie from Vox talking about the PDP vs T-s trend and....and... a message on Reddit from a VOX employee telling that they are talking (and lying) about pewdiepie just to generate clicks and not because of any real hate... huh (still disproves your point so HAHA) "pdp isn't anti-nazi so attracts right-leaning ppl" - oh wow. WOW. so you're THAT type of person? by that logic the left is just a bunch of commies! but they aren't communists, they're regular people, why can't you get that about the right, or any other group? + "Pewd's memes are overwhelmingly catering to right-leaning people, there is very little in his stuff that is attractive to left-leaners. " - what? how are they "catering" to the right? by that logic, the whole internet is catering to the right! he's just a reactor, who reacts to current trends, he doesn't choose them! I guess it's true that "the left can't meme" huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue (joke)
what line breaks? the line of your stupidity? just stop being mad/passive-aggressive, it's not that hard.
I would have to be a die-hard pdp fan to know the answer to the last question XD
@YensR okay, okay, I'm definitely right-leaning. i don't know what the right stands for, but I see that I disagree with left-leaning things more.
1.I have no idea on your first questions since I don't livee in USA.
2.yeah, can't argue with that :/
3.yeah
4.ok
5.my other argment was that his opinion seemed more unbiased when he was talking about actual news.
6.okay, that point was just my opinion because I can't recall him saying "haha dumb right" or "haha dumb left" so I just ASSUMED he's pretty neutral.
also idk what's the difference, but your last comment makes my want to agree with you much more, opposite of your other comments, where I had to stop myself from getting defensive and angry.
P.S. : really recommend using grammarly (even the free version), really helps notice dumb mistakes faster.
People, and especially you Emp, we may have not fully done it last year, BUT, we were more than successful this year! Go to the 2018 Rewind now and see the like to dislike ratio! But don’t stop there! YOU TOO must contribute to disliking the Rewind! Together, we can can get this Rewind up to 5 million dislikes! No, screw that, it should be 10 million! We have to make the 2018 Rewind the single most disliked video on all of YouTube, more than Justin Bieber’s Baby! I think with the drama YouTube has caused this year, it’s more possible than ever! And then, when they see that their end of the year party is the most disliked video, they will HAVE to bow down to us, the actual content creators! Those Hollywood celebrities and pop stars say that they control the Rewind, but it will soon be US controlling the Rewind! And we’ll be controlling more than that! By creating fake comments that they said they would read and give what was wanted, they gave US the middle finger and shunned us, so it’s time for us to get revenge on them once and for all! If they don’t pay attention to it, well, at least we tanked the Rewind! But if they do listen, it will be rewarding for us when we get to put our furious thoughts through YouTube’s deranged brain! And then they’ll have no choice but to improve the site! So what are you waiting for everybody? Refuel your tanks while the Rewind is still trending!
12/13/18 Mission accomplished! Rewind has officially been tanked! 10 million dislikes reached! Most disliked on all of YouTube in a week! Now all we gotta do is wait for YouTube to see the destruction and y’know, ACTUALLY READ THE COMMENTS!!! And then we can tell them finally how to fix their issues!
Alessandro Lira For too long there has been clickbait, bad repetitive content, and demonetization for stupid reasons, and it’s time for all that to stop! Btw, I know a lot of people complain about the Rewind having YouTubers that nobody cares about, but I honestly think that’s the least of it’s problems when you consider the plagues that YouTube has been ignoring and blaming us for! I mean, would you rather have a channel that not many care about or Jake Paul? Plus, I didn’t really expect PewDiePie or T-Series to be in the Rewind at all because, y’know, ever since last year with the N-bomb and the false accusations of being a Nazi, YouTube as a business just wants nothing to do with PewDiePie anymore, so it’s not really a surprise to me that it’s not in the Rewind!
@Daniel the level 100 I agree man. However demand is also very high for PewDiePie. Despite all the shit with T-Series right now. He has not only managed to survive without YouTube's support, but thrive. People now have respected him now than ever before if only for his independence and willingness to continue. So the difference between say putting the Paul brothers on another rewind despite them having gone through similar scandals is that the community as a whole is much more supportive of PDP and he has their sympathies, something YouTube could use to foster goodwill because right now faith in them is astoundingly low, so say if something else were to pop up and cause decent competition to YouTube, many people would have no issues switching because right now they couldn't care less about the platform. They're just setting themselves up for failure when the going will inevitable get tough for them.
If I do install adaway, I don’t think it will kill Google or steal it’s money… would it? Plus, this is the YouTube company we’re attacking, not the Google company! Google’s not our main issue here!
its such fucking bullshit too man, I'm all for fair competition, but when a channel is LITERALLY being given subscribers without having to work for it, its so scummy, fuck youtube tbh
The thing I love the most about Felix is that he is a regular dude.. he doesn't flex(i always forget how much he earns) he's awkward irl, and hes honest.. there will never be another
Fantastic video, brought me on the verge of emotional. This truly is the end of an era and I believe in a not so long distant future YouTube will get a competitor, everybody would benefit from that
Man I have to say. You’re videos are intelligently and elegantly put together. Idk if it’s your editing, your voice, or the topics you choose. Most likely all three. But I’ve watched your vids that were over an hour long. Felt like 15 minutes. Anyways even though YouTube is going on a downward spiral I hope you continue making videos.
From the moment money came into the equation, this was inevitable. It's fantastic that it created a new job type - the youtuber - but sadly corporations and other creatures of low moral fibre are always going to get the edge in this type of system.
Its lowkey depressing as fuck that YouTube's more about buissness and less about expressing yourself. I always wanted to be a YouTuber but stopped a number of years back due to bullying, and I regret it, now I just feel like I missed my chance..
This isn't just the end of an era, this is the end of YouTube as we knew it. You could still get 2006 style content in 2014. Unless it's nostalgia bait, you don't get that any more.

seriously we really need another video platform that actually support genuine channel and not corporate garbage but i guess it's hard
That dollar shave club plug at the end was actually pretty funny. Taking endorsements by itself isn't 'selling out' in my opinion. Its what happens to a youtuber in order get those endorsements. In this case, not a damn thing has changed about EmpLemon. Its just EmpLemon with a sponsorship deal done in his own flair.
To me, Pewdiepie was the perfect guy to be in that position. I mean, he represented me, and the internet that I like. The random guy, the independent artist who do what he love doing, regarless of the companies and everything. Since quite a long time now, internet is concentrated in a really little amount of websites. And, eventhough, there are still a shit ton of people doing there thing, You really need to reserch this type of people and content to find them. I guess, the soul of internet was always to search for specific content that you don't find anywhere else. Keep searching for creative people guys ! :)
Dear lord, I miss the old days. Being like 5 or 6 and just going on YouTube and looking up “dinosaurs” and watching shitty vids, and slowly coming across what we all know, they funny memes, 009 dreamscape, rickroll, all of it.
If this "fight" end in a stalemate we could see youtube divided between two sides the corporates and copyrights fighters and the fighters of anti-copyright and independt,low budget users.....
5:52 "it will never happen again where someone plays some video games , talks over it on facecam, and gets popular on youtube". For the most part i agree with that, its just not so common anymore. But the moment you said that i thought of Ali-A and how stupidly popular he got lmao
EmpLemon It's Dec 2018 and I bare somewhat good news, Firstly after all this time, Pewds is still the king thanks to his fans, fellow youtubers and random ass shit-posters joining the bro army. And secondly thanks to you, this year's rewind is officially TANKED!!! You gotta celebrate the victories when they come around, no matter how small.
Honestly, I'll still see him as the most subscribed youtuber, as he is an individual (yes he has editors) but who do you think is going to look up to T series? People will see it as a company that got to the top by cheating the system, like most companies on youtube, but Felix is just a guy
When you think about it, Google just made Youtube into another TV network. Ads, selling products, branding, and channel icons to reach out to people. There's a reason why they removed the Broadcast Yourself slogan in 2014/2015.
I'm gonna have to disagree about PewDiePie being so well-respected and beloved nowadays. There are many people who still hold the Fiverr and N-word incidents against him (myself not included) and I feel like there are plenty of people in the meme community that don't care much for him either (myself included).
I would honestly say PewDiePie has been a lot worse for memes in the past year or so than Behind the Meme ever was, since so many more people see his videos dissecting memes. He does a better job, but it's usually just as lazily done. It's just that PewDiePie kind of knows what he's talking about. He still ends up usually misinforming his audience about whatever memes he's talking about, and spreading it to millions of people who are going to run it into the fucking ground in no time flat. I wouldn't say he's a death sentence for memes, but he's certainly a near-fatal blow for most of them.
Even if you don't care about memes, he still bases pretty much all of his recent videos on content other people have made. Whether it's in LWIAY, where he just looks at stuff people have made for him to look at, and where he's named the show off of another creator's successful program (jokingly, but like he still put no effort into making it his own thing).
Or whether it's in Meme Review, where half the time he's just looking at examples of whatever meme he's talking about, which when it comes to video memes fucks them over. They're not going to get very many extra views for being featured in a PewDiePie video when he shows the entire fucking thing. Oh, and this show is also named after another creator's successful(ish) program with as far as I can tell, zero to no acknowledgment given. It's honestly kind of insulting because The Meme Review was a well researched, edited, and thought out series, where as just Meme Review is PewDiePie recording himself looking at his computer for an hour and editing it down.
That's what all his videos seem to be now. When it's not either of these series it's just another type of reaction video, sometimes even You Laugh You Lose, which is literally just an excuse to steal a bunch of people's content. I've seen him do those types of videos and he doesn't even try not to laugh, he's just watching other people's shit. The only time he ever does any okay reaction content is when he does the occasional gaming video again.
I used to like PewDiePie, to be honest. I thought his gaming videos from around the time he got big were fine, and I rooted for him when Youtube was rejecting him, but the content he's doing nowadays is lazy at best or just like... a real dick move at worst. I would be pissed if one of my videos was featured on his channel, because he's watching some meme playlist.
Don't get me wrong, I still want him to be the most subscribed channel. It's important for an independent creator to hold that title, and this does seem like dire times now that T Series is about to beat him. I agree he's kind of the perfect person to be in that spot (at least out of everyone that has even come close). It'd be cool if a wholesome Youtuber that's been on the site for a long time and stayed consistent and trustworthy with his content without getting stale like my favorite, WheezyWaiter, was number one. Just a simple creative vlog channel like that. From the ground up like PewDiePie was. Or even a bigger picture independent creator, like a classic animation channel like Film Cow if Youtube hadn't screwed over the animation community. I'm ranting now but my point is, there are other good Youtubers that would be cool to see in a spot like that although I don't think any of them could have been as interesting to see hold the title than PewDiePie. But yeah, out of everyone that was ever or could have ever been number one, I'm glad PewDiePie was there for so long and this is really sad to see.
But fuck the content he's doing right now. I don't respect it at all.
I hope I'm not the only one who genuinely doesn't like pewdiepie. He stands near twitter at the end of a meme life cycle. Any quality joke can be given an accurate death date to match whenever he makes a video about it
I think that Youtube still has somewhat of a sense of humour though, even to this bitter end. If you search TSeries on youtube's search, the number one result will be Pewdiepie's diss track. (I wonder how long that will last.)
I said that someone would pass Pewdiepie eventually all the way back in 2014, and a bunch of my friends told me that will never happen, but it`s about to. I've been proven right.
PewDiePie to me will always be “the king of YouTube”, because he is. The Idea of an Indian Bollywood Corperation which no one has even hear about until the news of it possibly being able to surpass Felix is kinda uncomfortable...
Honestly, i never watched PewDiePie before the Bridge Incident , but after that i really fell in love with his authenticity, libertarianism and sarcasm. Also, i can stay forever 9 years old! Eternal Loyalty to St. Pewds!
The point you made about subscribers is interesting because I never really noticed I have watched most of your most recent videos because they come up in my recommended videos and I always thought I was subscribed. It just goes to show how meaningless it really is
What happened to the "You" in Youtube? Youtube has lost all personal connection with the people and is just another corporate company with no personality, it's just there for the money. It's just tragic to watch something you've been with most of your life just get destroyed and ruined in the worst way you could think.
Hey, so I like your videos a lot but the unscripted videos just aren't as good as your normal scripted ones. Nothings better than you giving a well thought out planned rant with random ytp clips in the middle mixed into one great vide. When you don't script there just not that good. I clicked on this vid expecting a great one emp. this is just some constructive criticism though other than these keep up the good work
6:55 "D-dont, say s-swears..." But for real for a lot of the video up to this point I was thinking "yea youtube is pretty farr down the downward spiral at this point...but I'll always stick around for Jeremy :) "
I thought you was going to talk about how people in india are getting automatically subscribed to t series. And for that to happen, you need to have someone inside youtube.
Honestly, I highly doubt that Let's Plays are dead, and that's because of one word. One shining example of Let's Plays steadily growing in popularity.
Chuggaaconroy.
Honestly, this guy saw the beginning of Let's Plays, and Lord Willing, he'll be there for the potential END of Let's Plays, but he's still growing. Recently he hit 2 Mil, and that's during this crashing and burning of the Genre.
I know he's the exception and not exactly the rule, but hey, he's still here.
Maybe subscribers would matter if youtube would give an actual, unbroken subscription feed that wasn't relegated away from the home page and would actually show us all of the videos that come out from the channels we watch
A gaming YouTuber who was fun and energetic and wanted to make videos to entertain his audience is getting succeeded by a corporation with intent to make money. If this doesn’t parallel YouTubes situation, I don’t know what does.
Hey Emp, so i doubt you'll see this question, but if you happen to.
One of my favorite clips you throw into your videos is the guy saying "Well thats not exactly true", and I've looked around for it but I can't find it. Can you help me out with finding the source of that?
(Or you know, if any friendly commenters know where it is then I'll gladly take their help lol.)
All might has retired as a pro hero after 5 years of serving us as the top hero! Now that he has retired the new number 1 spot goes to the number 2 hero and an era has ended! Boku no hero reference btw
Pewdiepie is the perfect YouTuber. A regular dude that makes whatever content he wants to make, stays true to himself and his beliefs. What really makes him stand out is the fact that he is able to make satire, gags, dumb shit, gaming AND serious videos. He does what he wants, but that's ok because of how genuine he appears. Whenever he makes a serious video - he always knows what he is talking about - and if he makes a mistake, he owes up to it. He is truly one to look up to, and I think he will forever be the true face of YouTube.
it's obvious that if more and more people join youtube there will be more corporate bullshit lol i think hope that the painful era is going to be over soon and YT will just separate into subcommunities if people get right recommendations and search results or people will mass quit to smaller sites like vidlii or dailymotion (newgrounds maybe?) cause i don't see future for youtube's current policies and original videos at once
Yeah but PewDiePie will still be the most known YouTuber. I’ve never heard of this Indian vevo shit and I never would have if you hadn’t made a video on it. You’re kinda acting like once he gets passed up, he’ll just fade away and we’ll all forget he exists. But no people will still know about him. He’s got name recognition anywhere there’s WiFi
Counting T-Series as a YouTube channel would be the same as counting YouTube Music as a channel imo. They're not really by a sole person and both are more of a collection of other content, so even if T-Series does pass PewDiePie as the most subscribed non-Google owned channel(which it most likely will if, due to nothing else, the huge amount of exposure Indian content gets in the east), PewDiePie will still hold a title as the most subscribed to individual on YouTube. T-Series is more similar to a company channel than a full and personal YouTube channel, which in my opinion puts them in the same category as YouTube Gaming or YouTube Music which had passed PewDiePie by tens of millions of subscribers years ago.
T Series doesn’t really count as a YouTuber though and by that logic Pewdiepie has already been passed by YouTube music and YouTube Sport channels. Smh
I’m not sure if this is mentioned in the video yet since I didn’t finish watching yet, but if you make an account in India it automatically subscribes you to t-series
am i the only one that thought the old pewdiepie was actually more mature? like when he used to play games like dark souls, outlast etc he seemed like a normal nice guy and i enjoyed his stuff. But now his this edgy hipster dude making weird meme videos with weird sound effects, falling off his chair etc. still respect the guy but i dont feel like his a genuine now
Godddd what is going to happen to internet media??? We're all screwed! The future is nebulous! The creations are no longer from creators! Where will all the creators go? People keep saying "move on!" but we content consumers, collectively, don't know where to move on to! Things look fucking bleak, fuck!
I don’t like the idea of a corporation becoming the top YouTube it used to be all youtubers were people that made videos on their own in their moms basement that had to get big by blood sweat and a little bit of luck now it’s if your a big company you create a YouTube channel and bam your account gets a million followers in a day viva trending places by YouTube

Can you give your opinion on climate change? I don't know why I'm asking you. Edit: Wait, during your video Jimmy Kimmel you complained about how Americans put celebrities on to high of a pedestal and look to them for too much advice. Now here I am doing that very thing. I'm feel ashamed.
All this time and I still have no clue who HolaSoyGerman is. He's just always popped up in the top ten. Always in the background of of these types of videos.
Chilean YouTuber. He has two channels: A gaming channel and a vlogging channel. The vlogging channel was dedicated to making videos explaining humorous views on issues and things. His gaming channel is him screaming.
He was never as bad as the Paul Brothers. This may sound weird, but a lot of the hatred Pewds got really was unjustified. People hated him because "anyone" could have done what he did, which is the same reason a lot of people hated Fred. There were also the people who hated him because of that one "if you don't like it, don't watch it" comment. Then there were the people who despised him because he allegedly lied about having never seen 10k in real life. Then there were the people that actually thought he ripped off Tobuscus. Youtube was a very petty place during the early years of his reign. The tipping point for me was the people who actually thought he was going to delete his channel when he reached 50m subscribers. Mainstream media even covered that. He made them look stupid and it's kinda like they've had a grudge against him ever since. My point is that a lot of it was overblown.
@dsjgfx xkhrx story time? Ok sure so in fifth grade when the dab was getting popular I saw hundreds of people doing it I never did myself may I add it happened so much to the point it got annoying and I kept asking my classmates to stop they didn't because kids are ASSHOLES! Anyways around the end of the day don't remember why but almost everyone got in a neat little line and started dabing one after another now since that was the first time I was in a public school (I was homeschooled before hand) so it really stressed me out and every since then I hated dabing and any other trend like it the end
1 argument it is clear now that if you want to have larger audience you need some Indian audience for your videos and only non Indian youtuber who has been in the trending videos in India is PewDiePie and I think in India pewds might be the most famous non Indian youtuber !
Strangely enough, this sudden T Series rise all happened over Pewdiepie roasting Indian Soap Operas' over the top editing and "India had a cow" over an opinion. It's almost laughable to see how one corporation got theoretically economically triggered over ONE person's opinion. Its just ridiculous when I really think about it.
Everyone is saying that India favors and cherishes music etc etc however the view to sub ratio is stupidly ridiculous 64k views with 66mil subs? And your trying to tell me this is legit because Indians like their music?!?!
T series isn't a YouTuber though ? PewDiePie isn't the most subscribed channel he's the most subscribed person , rhiannavevo has more subscribers than PewDiePie T-series doesn't make a difference for anything , it's a music channel not a YouTuber
Man, I miss the old YouTube, specifically the 2008-2013 era. When YouTube's layout changed and Google + was introduced it's when the downfall started. So glad I was able to experience that era, it was gold. 😥
In a strange way, his story is almost like the Beatles. Made clean family friendly content until they were the biggest at what they did. Then complete changing the content and doing what they wanted, becoming the most respected at what they did.
I think the first Pewdiepie video I watched was a best of in 2013 and I always watched his videos, at some point I fell off and stopped watching him. I think it was late 2017 that I finally started watching him again and I truly enjoy the content he currently makes. Kind of makes me nostalgic but saddens me when you mention the era he represents is ending especially with the rise of Kid channels and all other content I don't or can't enjoy. But it's cool I've kind of come full circle and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
If I ever have kids, I want to show them your analysis videos so they can understand the time period I grew up in. Well, I hope the website itself is still up, or else I'm gonna have to start downloading these kinds of videos lol.
I actually watched the Dollar Shave Club endorsement, which is something I rarely do. I always click off of Jacksfilms's videos when he talks about his sponsor, so you're lucky you're funny, you Lemon.
I remember back when Felix first came up on top. It's weird to think he won't be there anymore. I was just talking the other day about how interesting it is that he's been so famous that he could do practically whatever he wants and Youtube is basically powerless to stop him. One could argue that he would be better off being a little more tactful with what comes out of his mouth, but what is anybody going to do? Even at #2, he's still right where everyone else on the platform wishes they could be. It's still a damn shame that everything has to be backed by corporate nowadays. Emp's pointed it out himself before; the whole reason Youtube was so cool to begin with was because there was this idea anyone could make content that could be viewed by anyone, anywhere, and not be locked out of success by not having any Hollywood connections. Now it's becoming pretty much cable television, and that kinda sucks. At least there's no more 5 or 10 or 15 minute caps on video length so you don't have to buy the latest blockbuster in 5 parts.
I and many others have thought "Why not make a new video platform if the current YouTube sucks?" Well that simply can't happen for two reasons. One: it would most likely return to the same state as its predecessor once enough corruption and greed set in, and two: YouTube has been around so long that the image of wealth and fame surrounding the site's users and the prospect of achieving success through pandering and marketing has ruined the possibility of enough people wanting to make content solely for the purpose of making it for fun and entertainment. I'm sure there still exist some who enjoy producing videos for the sake of simply doing so, but the chances of them overpowering the unstoppable forces of elite YouTubers with a finite number of children to form their own personal army are almost nonexistent.
TL;DR - There can never be a rebirth of YouTube and we're stuck in this shithole forever.
When i look at the top youtubers, i dont even count Vevo channels, so Pewdiepie will be #1 until another independent creator surpasses him. That's how it should be.
So first we had these thought out, planned skits. Then we got somebody playing games and editing his gameplay, with natural charisma, but without quite as much planning to it. Now we have a group posting someone elses music videos for Indian people to put on in the background.
Well on the contrary, if he kept making that family friendly content and being the golden boy of youtube, people would’ve stopped watching him just like any other youtuber, the only reason why pewdiepie is still popular is coz he took a huge risk and at the end it all worked out......
I remember I used to hate him back when he was super popular. Honestly don't know why, maybe I was just jealous that he was more popular than me, maybe it was because I was let on by other people hating on him.
Now I can't help but feel sorry for the guy. While I'm still not interested in his content, he like you said in your video represent an era of YouTube that unfortunately now has ended. To be honest I kind of want PewDiePie to remain as the number one most subscribed YouTube channel now, at least show that yeah you can still be famous on YouTube without having to pander to the YouTube algorithm.
Pewdiepie might end his channel soon near the end of the year. He just recently started a series ‘Amnesia on Hard Mode’. The game that got him notoriety. And with T Series about to surpass him. It would sort of make sense.
Also, it would probably take him two months to finish it, ending the series in December or early January. Right when he began the series back in 2010. Just speculation, it seems to have all come full circle, and it would be a hell of a way to finish.
I feel like the main problem is it stopped being more about "YOU" as in YOUtube and started being more about getting as many people to watch you as possible to profit off it. Youtube used to be a hobby for people and now it's literally their job AND their life.And we can't really go back to that time people just made videos for the sake of it. Now it's either you obey the system and use all sorts of dirty tricks or you stop being relevant.Of course there are channels that give no fucks about obeying the system and i'm sure many people can name plenty of them. The problem is that Youtube and it's "guidelines" push people to obey, not encourage. The situation with demonetization only proves that the people who currently own Youtube couldn't care less about people actually sharing themselves. This website is just not what it used to be in the past, and i don't think it will ever be again.
Let's Play were certainly happening pre-2013, I'd argue they were popular within certain gaming communities around like 2009-2010. You had guys like Seananners doing Minecraft alpha let's plays. Can't disagree it exploded around 2013.
youtube is trying to supress T-Series from taking that #1 subbed channel spot.
if you search “t-series” the first thing you get isn’t the channel, but videos on the channel. similar to what happened to leafy. also, ever since t-series has started to catch up to PewDiePie, YouTube has started to slightly support PewDiePie (putting him on trending, etc.)
I think a big part of Pewdiepie's turnaround is his past success. Have you ever heard of the idea of "F U money"? Basically, once you hit a certain level of success, you stop worrying about being successful and focus on what you want to do. If you already have enough cash to be set for life, you stop worrying about making money. You might go for it if you find it fun to watch your bank account grow, but it has no meaningful impact on your life. The difference between making $20k a year and making $200k is bigger than the difference between $1 million and $2 million, in terms of how your life feels, even though the second number is bigger.
If Pewdiepie has millions of subscribers, and has achieved financial independence (which he should by now if he hasn't squandered the money he's made), then why worry about gaming the algorithm for more views? He's already set, he stands to gain pretty much nothing. So why be gimmicky? Why precisely calculate how long to make his videos? It does nothing for him.
Idk if this was confirmed but someone said that if you registered an account in the middle east on Youtube it would automatically be subscribed to T-Series.
I don't think you should feel too bad about this. You said yourself that sub-count doesn't matter any more, it only projects a vague sense of prominence. In practice, what it's taken to gain more of this arbitrary number than Pewdiepie is a large collective conglomerate of MANY artists work. So not even "a business" has gained a higher number than him, a unique case of MANY different joined artists were required to get more numbers than this single home-grown genuine dude.
Pewdiepie hasn’t been the most subscribed channel on YouTube for a long time. But he’s still the highest subscriber count YOUTUBER. T-Series is a multimedia corporation, not a youtuber
Have you heard that you get auto subscribed to T-series if you make an account in India/the middle east? They are often not even breaking 1M views, not even 100k. While a few videos got 10s of millions. That would explain their perfect and undisturbed exponential growth.
YouTube has been fucking with subs for over a decade now this doesn't surprise me. Ripewds I hated you when you first started but I know you are one of /our/guys
PewDiePie is special. He was born on YouTube, he dominated basically making content that can only exist here and he's still beloved. He went from trash to a counter culture icon (on the site at least) to beloved in this period of time.
T series may have more subs, but they have nowhere the same views per video. Pewdie Pie is still relevant , who here has spent anytime this week watching a T - Series this week? Now who has watched Pewdiedie this week?
No it doesn't. PewDiePie is one man with a few editors. T series is a whole company of people that can't produce content that gets view counts relative to it's size. I'ma have to agree with what others have said. Just a sub bot
By the end of the year Pewdiepie will go on killstream and get a big boon to his popularity back when people see the "real" him. A lot big youtuber have gone on in the last month and has only improved people's opinion of them.
What the fuck I just checked t series and their average view count on their videos is like 300k. Sure they have a few videos with like 15 million but that's just kinda sad
It doesn’t really matter. YouTube gaming ha alike 72 million subs. I don’t think this makes a difference.
Idk why it was such a big deal to begin with it’s just another company. Why did people care Mrow about T series when YouTube gaming ha surpassed PewDiePie a long time ago?
T series is not a one man channel, this has been hammerd home a lot by now, it won't change anything, it's one swedish boy vs the entire population of india. you can pretty much ignore it.
yeah kinda agree with the subbooting part, but seems like they're trying to redeem themselves with that new vid. buy them some time and see what happens
Let's play's are dying because idiotic greedy corporations have decided they have no respect for their consumers and seem to want to cause another video game crash. Fingers crossed for red dead. If Rockstar flop I'm done with gaming.
PewDiePie still is the most subscribed YouTuber, though. T-Series is a music company, while Felix is actually a proper YouTuber. Some of the official channels made by YouTube themselves even have many more subscribers than him, therefore this is nothing new. T-Series is not a single YouTuber.
Destroyed? I think you have a strange definition of the word. One guy losing to some conglomerate company was bound to happen eventually. I think he will live.
Nightmare Research, check pewdiepies channel he is really butthurt, he uploaded 10 videos on t series and is desperate at losing rank 1. while t series doesn't even know who pewdiepie is
We like to talk about how communism is bad, but here we are complaining about corporations taking over a platform and making it into a hierarchy with freelancers on the bottom and companies on the top. It is unfortunate that the era of individual endeavor has ended
It's all about balance, my friend. If you get too capitalist, corporations will hire private armies, take over the world and put everyone in gulags. If you get too communist, the Supreme Leader will command his private army to take over the world and put everyone in gulags.
Terrible Tanner thank you for your reply. Though I disagree on your view of communism, I know that there has to be a balance in all, as the Buddha said.
@Vtron RRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE There is no "I disagree" in "Communism". Stay where you are, you will now be collected for gulag.
You LOST me at the Let’s Play genre started with PewDiePie...it started YEARS before his popularity. YEARS. I was watching Seamus play Fallout New Vegas and Mario mods in elementary school, I was in the 10th grade by 2013. Do some damn research!!!
Edit: LOL seconds after you said what you said you immediately explained that Pew didn’t invent it he just made it popular and influenced the saturation in YouTube let’s plays that we see today. Touché. I’m gonna keep my comment up because my anger just looks silly now
Dude! You watched Seamus too? Love and loved his stuff. Occasionally go back and watch his videos. Just wish he would come back, or at least give a last update. Oh well. Great to meet another Seamus fan though.
T-Series is not the Indian vevo. Vevo is a conglomerate that has Sony Music, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group. T-series is it's own record label and film production company.
I said this in the previous unscripted commentary, and I'll mention it here as well.
The energy in these videos feel lacking. I like your commentary videos for the energy. and While I did enjoy this to a degree, I did not enjoy them as much as videos like the Donald Trump Meme Theory, or Leafy Was Here.
Plus due to the fact India (T series home country) is a massively growing country in tech. I mean India has the 2nd highest population at 1.324 Billion people. Also due the fact regions like India or the Middle East have a huge number of younger people and said younger people have easyer access to the Internet these days with Smart Phones,Tablets,Lap Tops and etc.
Great video as always emp always look forward to your videos you are definitely my favorite YouTuber currently so glad you are finally garnering more attention
Scott and Alax make some of the best content on YouTube in my opinion. Scott especially since he uploads every Sunday. Their videos are funny, clever, and informative all at the same time, which is something you don't see a lot on this platform. They fill the hole that JonTron has left in content-loving heart.
I remember always hearing pewds name back then but never even saw a single video of his. It wasn’t until after he quit let’s plays that I starting watching. It’s great to see someone just do what they want.
holy shit have i ever told you that your content is so engaging and thought provoking for me. it shows sides of things ive never thought of and changes my perspective alot with these kinds of videos. like, damn man this is like the second or third time ive almost cried in a video of yours. damn. like really man? you always make great content.
Now... where do we go? youtube isnt dying(?) i think. or is it? i mean where do we go? eventually all that will be on that top count is corporate accounts and within the past few years we have lost so many good content creators, where can we go to be without the corporations? is there even such a place at all?
@EmpLemon Dollar Shave Club must have known it would be advertised in this manner and I gotta say, you gotta give them props for their bravery. I just like to imagine them watching EmpLemon's channel, seeing the "No company would DARE run a product placement on this channel!" only to be like, "Is that a fucking challenge?!"
I feel like when I watch this whole thing with the subscriber counts I feel like I'm watching a wizened, respected but recently heavily scrutinized Sith Lord fighting his apprentice to the death, the young, promising, but generic and disliked Sith Acolyte, following the rule of two and attempting to kill his master for his title. They've been dueling for ages and we all know the acolyte has to win, but his fast sweep against his master's defenses has worn him out and both are starting to make small progress in the battle, going on for what seems like ages. We're just waiting for one to get tired or let their guard down for too long and get that good old Anakin "chop off his hands and DEW IT!" on one of them. And also side thing, I always felt like Pewdiepie was an unlikely hero, but then I remember he's an unlikely hero for the adpocalypse, and I think we can all kind of see why he succeeded before the adpocalypse. But afterward? The fact he managed to stay afloat in such horrible waters is admirable, even if you don't really like the things he has done in the not-so-recent anymore past. Before the adpocalypse, he was Youtube's Golden Boy, and afterward, he was Youtube's Unlikely Hero, a man who managed to rise above the odds even in the harshest of times. Of course, all of that's over now, and we'll have a big corporation as our new sheriff to bring in all of the money while the passionate creators still will live in a sea of "I don't care, it doesn't bring a profit." But it least we'll still remember the good Youtube, even if memories do nothing but bring in depression and nostalgia. And as the curtains fall, all we can do is cheer and clap for a good performance and the great drama of the True Youtube era. From RayWilliamJohnson, to Leafy, to Keemstar's Rise, Fall, and Rise, to GradeAUnderA, to Pewdiepie, to the adpocalypse, to being able to get a good laugh from a genuine homo sapiens that feels far more personal than anything else, all we can say is The End...
despite the fact that gaming on YouTube is nowhere near the popularity that it once was, I don't think the genre is dead. It's just under the radar for most people.
I have always loved the guy, however I didn't like when he started to do the 10 minute videos to have more ad placements. I thought it was greedy when he already was a millionaire, but turns out he just played the algorithm game to keep himself reaching people.
Pewdiepie's videos were guilty pleasure for me a while ago. Since he's changed to commentary and started acting more down to earth, I definitely like his content more. I think the internet has taken an enormous turn in direction over the years, but it's hard to describe.
Even though everyone in india already is subscribed by Tseries, even then pewdiepie never wanted to be #1 in the first place. I feel like you should bring this up, love your channel dude. And pewdiepie hasnt really changed, he's just gotten more honest.
I've never really watched pewdiepie. And It's funny cuz I probably would've loved watching him. But, if anyone were to surpass him, it should be some great, legendary, respectable, wholesome person, or just another asshole we could hate on like ricegum. But it really makes me sad, to see someone I've never even watched, be taken over by some random company. It's like 5 minute crafts or watch mojo getting top spot. It just really makes you woeful. I'm on the verge of tears it seems. Maybe it's the nostalgia of a long forgotten age full of joy and unrestricted freedom. Maybe it's the fact that such a genuine person who worked his way to the top, is getting knocked over. Whatever the case, youtube will continue dragging it's dying body through the woods, while us starving wolves eat what's left of it, then spit it out saying it isn't what we wanted.
Well, when Pewdiepie finally loses his number one status to T series, he can officially join the rest of individual youtubers on the never ending downward spiral into obscurity
"An Historical." "AN." I actually got so triggered by that description that I had to write a comment. I honestly feel that has to be purposeful and I hope that should be obvious why that is actually triggering me.
Subscribing never mattered. To the viewer, it means next to nothing. You already get to like and comment, and in the beginning you already got to see every video on the channel without any form of payment or show of loyalty. It's simply a Youtube business side thing, and it sucks. If Youtube never provided a system to add a list of channels you like in the first place, I don't think a lot of people would care. We could just add them to our bookmarks on our browser, or hell, add the channel to an RSS feed. Both of these options suit a good number of people better than subscribing has (I know it can be argued that on mobile formats it's not quite the same due to the nature of app-based interfaces, and the fact that RSS feeds I feel are an uncommon tool nowadays, but hopefully my point makes enough sense to you).
At the end of the day, even if T- Series snatches the number 1 spot it doesn't really change much of what YouTube has already become. PewDiePie is still effectively the biggest YouTuber, but he's pretty much completely different from what he used to be, he's already given up his old fame for what he has now. You could say his "reign" has been over for a while, T Series getting to number 1 is something that had to happen with the current state of YouTube, YouTube is a corporation, T Series is a company, their channel being number 1 is a sign of profit and gain for YouTube in India especially, this is something that was inevitable and expected. PewDiePie's era was over the moment YouTube cut ties with him, we're already in a new era with T Series.
One thing that you should have talked about was how T series subscription base is being automatically subscribed to them when they make account but YouTube still isn’t doing anything about that.
Hey Emp, i know you probably won't see this, but I liked your TF2 video and the way it was written and edited. I was wondering if you would make another one or any TF2 videos?
I rather have my sub count and make videos I can look back on then what these people make and scum a bunch of money and not have any integrity as an artist.
I just don't get how subscribers aren't even watching their subscribers. I do not watch suggested videos much at all. It's taken me until like a few days ago for your channel to be under my radar. I actually do watch my subscribed Youtubers and it's honestly really frustrating that they are messing with the sub box. I have to use the box scroll mode instead of grid because grid no longer shows everything.
What has confounded me even more is that I'm in tiny minority of people who actually do use the sub box. What's the point in even subscribing to anyone if you don't even look for their new content. Do people really just float through the recommended videos just hoping they find something they like, everytime the use YouTube? Idk man
There is actually a theory that when you create an account in India for YouTube, it automatically subs you to T-Series... I am just the messenger, don't judge me
Hey, at least T-Series isn't some shitty vlogging channel. The day one of those channels become the most subscribed will signify the end times of this once great website.
The creators of t series probably sell there diamond play button just to make a quick buck when most other YouTubers would cherish that thing as there biggest achievement, it’s a shame
I never liked his content but he'll still be at #1 in my mind because T-series is like VEVO channels, which are auto-generated by YouTube. Sorry but you have to at least be a sentient human being in my mind to be #1 Youtuber.
It's real that when you create a Youtube account in India you get automatically subscribed to T-series? if it's real youtube has become the biggest puddle of corporate crap. there's no salvation for pewds.
Sir Quifilous2018-10-13 02:52:14 (edited 2018-10-13 02:58:13 )
Pewds is literally past 60 million subscribers which should mean that it should feel like hes is hundreds of miles ahead of everyone else. But it actually feels like hes still right next to all the guys with 20 is million, cause those numbers are just becoming meaningless. Like when if one day, T Series just BECOMES the biggest (just by growth) will anyone really care all that much? Also what ever happened to the whole theory going around that all people who made YT accounts in India instantly got subbed to T Series?
I expect better from you, bad on my end, but you of all people should realize a company driven channel like t series passing PewDiePie is irrelevant. It's like BuzzFeed surpassing him. That and India is a meme.
PewDiePie is still growing. I'm not a fan, it just doesn't seem like a bad situation for him. Given the title, I thought he did yet another dumbass racist thing and it was actually going to damage him this time. People like that never suffer consequences, because that would be fair, and apparently fair is bad.
It's funny how we used to hate Pewdiepie when he was at his peak of popularity and now, we are admiring this guy that he's about to become overshadowed by a channel that kind of represents YouTube of this present time.
Bump this video with a comment and use the word PewDiePie. Videos are promoted by comment mass and views mass. Comment topics help determine keywords. PewDiePie PewDiePie PewDiePie
In one of his videos he said something about a rumor that when someone in India makes a google account they're auto subbed to T series. If thats true then T series will only be the top artificial channel.
I’m like genuinely sad about the number one spot going to a large company, like I’ve been with pewds before he passed smosh so call me bias, but I guess it might also be nostalgia but I remember when YouTube was about and only about random people not multi million company’s, I miss those days and now with pewds gone I guess my idea of YouTube and what I remember it as is also gone. I hope YouTube goes back to what it was one day.
Pandering to 9 year olds was not created by jake paul. Just think back to when call of duty giveaways and shitty merch were the new thing in 2009. People have made youtube a business for far longer that this video lays out. People have gamed the system since day 1. Back when you got on frontpage for favorites everybody was doing fake giveaways to get their child audience to boost them to the top. I am not defending jake paul by any means. I just think its inaccurate to say they started the whole explot kids thing when people like whiteboy7thst have been doing it since jake was in middle school.
Pewdiepie renewed my interest in Youtube in early 2017 when I noticed he was making videos talking about real topics and wasn't pulling any punches (I recall him saying in one video that "2017 is going to be bad for Pewdiepie," which was right before the whole WSJ thing). I subscribed but eventually I unsubbed because he makes SO many videos. I think that not only is his work ethic impressive but he's got a deceptively wide variety of content. But uploading so frequently it feels like a lot of that content falls into the same categories over and over again, the "try not to laugh challenge" stuff, for instance. I can only watch so much of that stuff before I lose interest.
That said, the dude still makes some compelling videos. I loved hearing his opinion on Shane's Jake Paul "documentary" and I have no idea why I love "bitch lasagna" so much, but I do. I can't watch him every day anymore, but I will always appreciate his presence on Youtube. I think he's at the point in his career where being the number 1 Youtuber isn't the most interesting thing about him, and that's probably a good thing.
Lemon this was a lovely return to form, I've disliked the political videos you've done recently, but this Youtube commentary speaks to me, and once again i agree with everything you have to say about it.
an great moment will occur it sure is a good thing nobody reads the description because someone fucked up but in all seriousness this is so sad can we hit women
Ever since I subbed to Pewds, I always thought he was the best boi. I will always respect him for rising above some of the corporate garbage on youtube for the longest time.
It's strange. But understandable. Throughout history, things are always changing. And I believe the same thing applies to the digital age as well. Especially YouTube.
I miss when YouTube was a website where you could upload videos and not some game where you have to follow strict rules to get the biggest high score. Now every channel is the same.
I started watching Pewdiepie in 2011 (was also big into nerd cubed. Started watching him for his minecraft builds) with amnesia, dead space, and penumbra. My favorite series of his, all time, would be his run of Cry of Fear. I don't know, something about that just really felt super real from him.
Then in late 2012 I felt like he started to shill, y'know. And I had been getting into game grumps pretty big. 2013 rolled around and I just stopped watchinh him. He felt sterile and corperate to me.
Of course jon and arin "broke up" and I started watching mark more than game grumps after a while. Eventually I stopped watching game grumps all together in 2015.
I basically forgot about pewdiepie until he made that video about quitting youtube altogether. Now adays I catch one or two vids a month. His vids are pretty good now, though.
Still watch nerd cubed. Never lapsed there. I don't like mark's content so much. For the last few years he's given me the same vibes I got from pewds in 2013. And like you said, over the last year I've been watching edited vids of twitch streams. And of course niche content, like tf2 channels, Townsends 18th century cooking, ytpnews (I've been wanting to know how it hit him when his furry waifu's comic ended. Just morbid curiosity)
Anyway. The rant was mostly so you could get a full detailed survey from your viewers. Hopefully you'll be able to read a good bit of different rants so you can get a good survey for your next downward spiral vid.
7:34 I disagree. Swearing can be used in a comedic way that actually comes out funny for a lot of people. I feel like swearing adds a lot more to the content if used properly and being forced to remove some of the comedic value annoys me.
Hell that article when people first found out how much he would make in a year was likely what inspired a lot of people who were on the fence about it to become YouTube creators if we're being honest. At the very least it certainly inspired a lot to try becoming Let's Players. And he never really got any edgier to me, it's just that YouTube in general got a lot more sensitive since the early days of Pewds. Most of us always felt the way we felt, it just wasn't necessary in the past to express it. No one was trying to ruin YouTube back then.
I think what I'll be taking away from all of this is that T-series will become the most subscribed YouTube channel, but Pwediepie will continue to be the most subscribed YouTuber.
I wonder if the cycle will continue in some way, like I mean that by either the corporization of youtube causes it to turn into a TV channel where you choose the show like you said, and some small website that isn't youtube but still similar rises up and becomes the good non-corporate alternative to youtube and then after 10 years at its peak it gets bought by Google and goes down the corporate road and it continues all over again, OR youtube goes full corporate and enough viewers and youtubers just abandon youtube for it to somehow change its ways but both of these are considering anything good comes of this and the second option is probably not gonna happen
Theres already YouTube channels with more subscribers, but they are not managed by one single channel like Pewdiepie. And neither is T Series, its more of a corporation
The Paul brothers are supposed to be the "smiling faces" of YT, and they obviously work very closely with YouTube. So why are their videos carbon copies of all the shit that make 90% of this website complete garbage? Clickbait, strung out videos crammed with advertising, watered-down content intended to keep the viewer's attention as long as possible, etc...
Oh boy, CORPORATIONS, CORPORATIONS! Seriously, this website has became a nightmare, I wish that YouTube could encourage more people to make independent content, and not encourage people to make something that isn’t the same type of content, but rather make interesting content that doesn’t have to be the normal “DONT CALL BOSS BABY AT 3 AM”
Its a channel from a country that's economy is comprised of phone call scams and bot centres. I'm kind of surprised one of them hasn't surpassed pewdiepie with such a reputation.
I always suspected this would happen but that it has to be a channel like T-Series is just such an ugly and unsatisfying loss. I don't even understand who subscribes to a channel like this, especially considering that so many of their videos don't have that many views. (I've heard about the rumor that they automatically subscribe you to the channel if you're from India but I don't know much more than that so I'm going to assume that they're innocent for now). I would've honestly preferred someone like the Paul-brothers because they at least somewhat represent what YouTube should be about (minus the corpses etc.) and can actually claim to have a real following that watches them regularly. I bet at least 90% of the T-Series subscribers on the other hand, forgot about it the next day and just moved on with their life.
Pewdiepie makes great content for such a big channel. A lot of the really big channels make utter guff. But Pewdiepie still makes really great content. I still consider him to be the most subscribed Youtuber, when you do not count massive corporations or VEVO music video channels. I hope that he doesn't crash and burn the way that Smosh, Nigahiga, Ray William Johnson, and Fred did. I miss Ryan, and I don't want Pewdiepie to go the same way. I love most of his content. It was amazing when Pewdiepie managed to stay ahead of all these massive corporations in the modern day. I hope that Pewdiepie never changes, and that the Youtube scene doesn't change too much, being someone who is considering the thought of going into Youtube myself.
I really consider pewdiepie to still be number one just from the fact that T-Series isnt a single person nor really a youtuber centered company, they simply just uploading their music video here now rather than somewhere else. Its like a guy selling laptops out of his garage suddenly being put out of business by Apple, its a completely different ball park. T series is a channel and a company and pewdiepie is a youtuber
I said it before and I'll say it again. T-Series is a company, not a YouTuber. If you count T-Series, then Pewdiepie would currently be the #5th most subbed channel. But T-Series does NOT count, making Pewdiepie still the King of Youtube.
It’s funny how PewDiePie can lose to some Hindi music channel, he was the biggest youtuber for years and he loses to a Hindi music channel, just bizarre.
The biggest issue is the parent company of YouTube is an advertising firm at heart. Almost all of those other offshoots lose money or break even. They are trying to cash in on YouTube at the expense of paying the small creators and the one-off viral videos
Although I am not a fan of Pewdiepie, I admire him. He became the biggest face of the platform but good things must come to an end. T-Series is no Youtuber, it is a company. Like everyone has said, soon YouTube will be covered with corporations. It is sad that YouTube, a platform that gave people a chance to broadcast themselves, is turning into a corporation.
Even when T-Series wins out, Pewdiepie will still be considered the most popular youtuber. T-Series is not a youtuber, it's a corporation. A corporation in a high position can never be as impressive as an individual in a high position.
That Guy From NY2018-10-12 23:11:24 (edited 2018-10-12 23:24:19 )
Never understood why he was the most popular Youtuber. His videos are ok now I guess. When he made that child content, his shit was aids but even now I still would never like his vids enough to subscribe. The Jake Paul of the time and the Justin Bieber of YouTube couldn't be more accurate.
I fucking hate corporate interlopers onto any space. When I discovered an ad blocker like half a decade ago, the internet became such a nice place. But those damn advertisers couldn't be stopped. Now there are baked in ads in videos, viral videos which are actually ads, "sponsored" contect, and other drivel. It's understandable that a content creator may choose to augment their income with sponsors and such. I don't like it, but I think content creators deserve to make a livable income, so I can swallow an occasional dollar shave club ad at the end of a video. But looking at the top subscribed channels being either direct corporations, like Vevo and T series, or puppets like JP who spend most of their time advertising themselves and other companies' products makes me sick. It only signals to other content creators that if you don't start playing ball with big boy companies, you'll never make it, which is antithetical to what I believe YouTube popularity should be. A YouTuber should be popular based sheerly on the quality and charisma of their content, with advertisements as a side thing to make a little money on the side. /blog
I'm just thinking about the day pewdiepie eventually retires, it's gonna happen one of these days. I remember first going onto youtube and the first video i ever saw was one of his happy wheels videos. He was just always there, and sooner or later he wont be. It's weird. But i think this new era of youtube will end someday too.
T-Series overtaking Pewdiepie is basically like youtube music overtaking pewdiepie, (which is already higher than him) so T-Series really doesn't count since its a company, not a single person. It doesn't count irrelevant video lol.
Unpopular opinion... I was never a PewdiePie fan...ever. Even when he played Amnesia or Penumbra. Howeveer...his video on BetterHelp was alright so I don't hate him. I dunno...just not a fan.
its just a channel with millions of bots subscribing, they have legit gained 2 million subs since making this video that was 7 hours ago ( by the time im writing this comment ) doesn't that seem suspcious to you?
Well isn't PewDiePie still the number 1 YouTuber? Think about it, T-Series isn't a person, it's an entity. It doesn't cater to fans, it publishes music videos and movie trailers for Indians. So I'd say that Pewds is still no. 1 regardless.
Why does everyone think T series is a youtuber? Pewds will still be at the top since t series is a company. That's like counting YouTube music as a channel.
Think about it, T-Series is Indias Machinima, eventually the Indians will get annoyed with the sub box spam and will unsub from T-Series, to make room for the new Youtubers they have subscribed to.
I don't understand all of this garbage. T-Series is a company... PewDiePie is an individual YouTuber... Other companies on YouTube have more subs than him. So this is popular why???
I'm talking about why did it ever get popular, not talking trash on this video. This video is okay
Also T-Series definitely has sub bots, there is no way that they just magically show up one day with all these subs but shit views. The rest of the subs are probably people subscribing out of spite for PewDiePie, after people somehow saw this channel get subs out of nowhere.
Honestly I don't care because I don't watch PewDiePie anymore, it's just kinda annoying.
hey maybe instead of you guys complaining all the time you could oh I don’t know actually do something. No? You’re just gonna complain about YouTube and forget about it by next week? Ok cool
I realized a long time ago that Youtube lost what made me love the site to begin with. It was about the people and making content to entertain, not to become big. There were always channels a lot more popular than others of course, perhaps with videos that were more fine-tuned, but take that all away and they were still average people, like you and I. Now it feels like a battle between freelance creators and corporate channels for who can profit more off of the site (and with the winning team being obvious). It sucks because it's as if Youtube has forgotten where they came from.
The thing is, he’s always been behind YouTube music. So TSeries passing him is not a huge deal. Like you said, he’ll still be the most subscribed YouTuber, meaning the most subscribed single person. Other than those little quirks, I thought this was a really well thought out video. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
Btw keep it up, EmpLemon. Although I was pissed to see you leave the YTP industry, people change, and everything changes; it’s inevitable. And honestly when I watch every one of your videos, I leave the video with a smile, knowing that we still have people like you; people who are genuine in their tongue and their editing. It’s good to know this site hasn’t been entirely shot to hell yet.
Well, I for one am glad I was there to experience early Youtube when it still was about broadcasting yourself (more so than now anyway). Sure, there were always the equivalents of Jake Pauls and Watchmojos etc, but I loved the early days when everyone was still experimenting and figuring shit out, like when AVGN first came around and a bit later when Jontron refined the format further etc.
In a sense, I see a lot of parallels to mixed martial arts: when MMA first came to the US, it was literally like in fighting games: you had the karateka, the kung fu guy, the sumo wrestler, the judoka, the kickboxer, the jiu-jitsu guy, the ninjutsu guy etc, and the only rules were "no biting, no eye-gouging, no groin shots." Hell, for a few UFC events, even groin shots were allowed. Now the MMA formula has been perfected (generally a mix of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, muay thai, and wrestling), an MMA "meta," if you will, and the list of rules is probably longer than my arm at this point.
It seems whenever something new comes along, it starts off with this wildly experimental period when everything feels fresh, new, and exciting, but in about a decade, people have discovered most of the tricks of the trade, they've discovered what works and what doesn't, and while it's a form of evolution and improvement, a part of me will always miss the old days when everything was about experimentation and discovery.
Anyway, I've been toying with the idea of maybe starting a channel on YT or wherever at some point, upload whatever I feel like, swear as much as I like, and never even try to get ads on the videos, find sponsors or anything, but just do it for the fun of it simply as a call-back to the old days, a tribute to how my favorite channels started out. Don't know when or even if I'll do it, and if I do, I doubt I'll even surpass 100 subs, but that's irrelevant. I just want to make something that I would like to see more of rather than T-Series or the Paul brothers. I just wish there was some platform out there more like early YT which, while far from perfect, was at least not trying to be like an online version of corporate TV aka 2018 YT.
We need to start our own video site, where shit like this can't and won't happen. We'll have to start relatively unassuming so that we don't overestimate ourselves and end up with another vid.me situation. We'll start by embedding youtube videos on the site, and relegating discussion to a discord server and a subreddit. But within a decade or so, once we establish a stable monetization system and we have the money to do it, we'll start hosting videos independently of youtube. We can't possibly hope to compete, but at the very least we can provide a viable alternative for the relative few of us out here that actually care (relative to the mainstream consumer, at least).
I've gotta say, I've never been a particularly big pewdiepie fan... heck I wasn't even subscribed to him for all these years... but today, I did it, I subscribed to him, just because I don't want to see the old Swedish schmuck go. :(
That a single person has held the number one spot for so many years, and it taking what is essentially the entertainment of a whole damn country for this platform to potentially beat him on subs its pretty telling on how big an impact the right person in the right place at the right time can make.
That DSC ad was great, and I say that namely because I was on edge the whole way through the thing like "He's gonna go to far, he's gonna go to far" but nope, you did it. Good job.
The fact that Pewdiepie doesn’t care that he’ll be dethroned shows how good of a guy he is. He always complains on how he’d rather have be a smaller channel because he hates how everything he does it analyzed to all hell by media
When I was first made aware of PewDiePie, I couldn't stand what I originally thought was his white-bread, normie ass, it wasn't until he started to actually show some personality in 2017, that started to really like his videos and respect him and what he represents, it's just bizzare to me how times have changed...
Just like how we moved from television when the medium went too corporate, we will move from YouTube once it eventually gets too corporate. That day is closing in quickly, if you ask me.
But where are we going to go? There's no other place. We'll need a saviour to escape this time, boys.
Also, we used to swear here on YouTube, but that was before the plague hit.
Honestly Im still gonna try to be an animator on youtube, but it seems increasingly difficult since im probably gonna not gonna phase through the algorithm haha.
You know there is a new feature so that if you sub to a new channel they show other similar channels something that gives even a slight hope that YouTube is listening to what fans want but in the end it won’t ever be the same but it can still become as great as it once was
I still think OneyPlays is the best lets play channel on YouTube right now and they are really different from the norm, I think they are the only funny ones
A giant( for India) corporation will be the highest growing YouTube channel of all time and Emplemon gets sponsor by a corporation. It's official, this ain't a downward spiral, it's part of the Twilight Zone.
To be honest, I was around on youtube, not on this account, but as a non-account user in 2006 onwards. I wish that I could go back to 2009 youtube, or the lets play era, or hell even the 2016/filthyfrank/leafy era, because this new era sucks, I absolutely detest it. It's a shame how much this site has deteriorated in such a relatively short amount of time. That being said, I applaud you, Emplemon, for trying your best to show those corporate schmucks that they need to care more about their website, and reminding us of youtube's history. I salute thee and will stick with you until the day this ship called Youtube sinks into the depths of cyberspace.
"The Let's Play genre was born and died with Pewdiepie" Jesus christ emp you're really showing your age (or lack thereof). LPs have been a thing since like 2007 (but you could argue the biggest LP channels blew up in popularity around 2011/12). EDIT: well I'm a fucking idiot for not watching all the way through first, good job for baiting me hard.
Apart from a select few, youtubers are cancer. Even channels like H3H3 that used to be good are now getting involved in petty, inconsequential drama and politics. No one wants to watch that shit. There will never be a channel like Pewds at the #1 spot, and that's sad. Although it probably doesn't matter anymore. rip this site.
Never gonna be another TV show like Spongebob. Never gonna be another Youtuber like Pewdiepie. Never gonna be another Genre like YTP. Never gonna be another platform like youtube. Never gonna be another place like the internet.
Well we've seen a Revival of the old school YouTube gaming sphere, we've also seen sort of a development in the PewDiePie cycle resulting in people like fitz or raccoon eggs or swaggersouls. though I would argue in large part these are more or less a result of the development reaching a sort of peak of quality edited funny moments content like sovietwomble and Smii7y (the latter of which associated even now with Fitz, Swagger, Kryoz, etc).
Soooooooo what do we do now? I hate this. The reason i watched youtube instead of TV was because there was this freedom, this ability to relate to the creator. A normal guy becoming famous even tough he is not the brightest or most handsome, is being replaced by cardboard cutouts, mass produced hollywood pricks.
YouTube is turning into TV The only way we can stop this from happening is by leaving the site What we need to do is create a new website that is very similar to YouTube from 2006, but with its hosts and its creators being Youtubers themselves. Maybe we could use the help of huge content creators, like Mr. Beast, Ninja, and many more
Phil Swift Religious Sect no... none of those, what we need, is a wholesome, fan-made rebirth of the old youtube... Made for fans; by fans. We also need to make sure, that this youtube, won’t ever sell out, and continue being... well, what youtube should have been..
I'm surprised EMPLemon didn't bring up the fact that ALL indian Google/YT accounts get automatically subscribed to T Series. Essentially proving his point, it is impossible to compete when the system favors corporations.
T-Series has to be using sub bots or people sub to them to not have it be pewdiepie or something. The channel doesn’t break a million views very often. You’d imagine with that many people tuning in to them recently they’d get lots of views, right?
Imagine trying out YouTube, but you can't understand a majority of it. You stumble upon a big channel that can speak in your language and listen to music you can understand. Although this is a loss for creative YouTube, this is a win for the growing part of Indian YouTube.
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

With the censorship, shitty youtubers and corporation, youtube has become a version of television with lower production cost. I might as well just go back to watching television. At least it has a higher production value. Edit: FUCK
Well, it is possible for Pewdiepie to stay as no1 if one of 2 things happen 1. T-series stops growing 2. They are proven fraudulent and deleted off YouTube I doubt the second option would happen but it does seem wierd that I have only found out about them now

PewDiePie said in a video "I don't like being number 1" then T series came Soo...
Silly Emp. It’s not the end of an era. It’s the end of YOUTUBE. What do I mean? You see, with a company as #1, it doesn’t make sense to inspire people to make videos anymore. There will be a new name for the site, what is it? CorpTube. A place where corporations can advertise their products, or where baby channels can make out like like a bandit with that $.
YouTube has been pretty bad lately, but at least pewdiepie was still on top, Ik he’s not the best but nobody is, and he really put the you in YouTube, he showed that being yourself could lead to success, I mean that used to be smosh, but even smosh became a business, but now the era is over, and now business is what really matters on YouTube
T Series is a corporate channel for hosting music videos made by other production companies. Even if it surpasses PewDiePie in subscribers, it won't really count.
The end of pewdiepie doesn’t mean the end of independent channels. It just means one person isnt going to be on top. In the end Pewdiepie is still going to get 100,000s of thousands of dollars per week for his work, and he’ll still be the top indie channel. The competence we get out of this though really shows how much we hate when someone else, whether it’s a channel of Indian pop music or not for a country whose people are still trying to get out of scammer jobs and be actual internet users, beats us flat. They’re supposed to be the Aryan race, after all.
My main issue with T Series is that it's a corporate entity that is competing with Pewds. If it was some independent creator like Jack Septic Eye or Markiplier, I wouldn't mind it at all because they made their name through YouTube and not some outside force. Once T Series overtakes Pewds is when YouTube (in my eyes) will no longer care about the independent users of their site. The people who produce the videos that users come to this site for will be shunned for corporations like Buzzfeed, NBC, Fox, etc., and the whole problem with YouTube will become greater.
I realize that the only community that is almost immune to this market is the fangirl community. Sure, this community is very toxic and mostly repetitive, but if you look close enough, you will notice that no one in that communtiy monitizes their videos. Probably because they break their community guidelines but there is no insentive to run the channel like buissness. This community is full of kids that want nothing more than to do what they want to do
I mean the population of India is 1,342,512,706 to compare the population of the USA is 326,766,748 so the Idea of an Indian You Tube channel surpassing him is not that of an amazing thing to me, especially when not even most or some places in India don't have access to the internet. Just wait till most of the Country get's access the only place I can think that can rival India is China.
So if YouTube becomes corporate and corporate channels are more promoted than real content what will that do to all content creators on YouTube will they just leave and will youtube just be one big ad that kids and dumb adults watch?
The most annoying fact is that T series gets an atrociously feeble amount of views for its sub count. The people don't care about the channel. They just sub and leave. There are some(in fact, a lot) shitforbrain subcontinentals out there who want to display a vague sense of Indianness by making an Indian channel become the most subbed channel. The content doesn't matter, they sub T series and don't watch it. They want others to see the channel has the most subs. That's what matters to them.

Oh look, it's a channel update located beneath the [show more] button of a YouTube comment. I bet everyone is gonna see this.
The tentative video order from now on is gonna look like this:
A. Big-Time Video (YouTube Geographic, Never Ever).
-Highly Edited, Researched, Scripted
B. Unscripted Commentary (Like this Video)
-Less Editing, but I can make them much faster. I will use this format to give my
opinions on topical events, as well as other experimental ideas.
These videos will probably alternate back-and-forth into the near future.
Minute Memes is most likely cancelled, as I do not enjoy making the series anymore. (Apologies to the fans of the series.)
Green Simpsons YTPs are never cancelled, so expect me to slip one in when you least expect it.

0 likesI agree with you about the change of era, about the fact that users' opinions don't count anymore... But the most interesting question would be: "WHAT THE HECK WOULD REPRESENT T-SERIES IN THE GLOBAL YOUTUBE COMMUNITY?" or: "WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUTUBE WHEN T-SERIES WILL BE N.1???" The major recommended videos will be T-Series content! Is YouTube gonna become "YouTube India"??? Or will YouTube just change the name into "T-Series & The Others", or something like that???
0 likesPewDiePie is still the leader of the real YouTubers, which main objective is to share content to other people, especially to the ones who subscribes to the respective channels... But, as you said, many YouTubers do this just for money, and the market saturated (something like that... I don't know how to translate it xD), so they needed to make some changes, especially on the "Recommended" section.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but this change is not just on YouTube. Businesses and money are the main priority... More then ever! See the controvertial Article 13 in Europe, and the strict Copyright laws already applied... I've seen the change: until a year ago you were able to find everything on Internet, now you have to pay, and many content which was free in the past got copyrighted, even pictures!!! And it's not gonna be just "premium content", so you can subscribe and still able to find everything, but content is spreaded in many markets, so for some content of a brand you should subscribe and pay monthly in a portal; then, for the same content, but from another brand, you should subscribe and pay monthly in another portal, etc.
And have you notice how crazy politics and governments are becoming, in general? (Not going on details, btw...)
Knowing all of this, DOES FREEDOM STILL EXIST?
Not trying to be Communist, but aren't we stepping back instead of moving forward?
It might be correct to give credits and pay the sources where we go, and I have some examples: journalists & news networks, photographers, cosplayers, ... They would not just work as slaves, thanks to this. BUT THERE MUST BE A WAY TO MAKE EVERYONE "HAPPY". In my opinion, even though it's utopic, there should be a "global and neutral market", in which you have just one user, and control multiple subscriptions, or to have an unique subscription for the same content from many brands, and be rewarded by some "gifts" (a simple example: THE NEWS. We were able to check multiple networks for free just by searching on Google News. Now, slowly, news are becoming pay-to-watch, and you should pay each brand to have the news. But some news networks tell a story of the truth, and in other news networks the same news are told in another way, or they are absent! But, thanks to this global network, the users may subscribe to what they want, and, if not happy, they can unsubscribe any time. So that would be an advantage for everyone, especially to the ones who create the content, so, if statistics tells a company that many users starts to unsubscribe, they will question themselves how to improve. And this is also an advantage to those who don't know how to use Internet properly.... and they are not just elder people, but also average people as well. They wouldn't be able to control everything they subscribe to.)
Sorry if I went off topic, but this video made me think about all of this, and I'd like to share my thoughts.
@Captain Justus @justuszirkzee what do you think?

Communism isn't bad on small scales such as a family or a very small town, but on larger scales it becomes quite evil if the government is the ones calling the shots.
I would like to explain Capitalism and Communism Vs Corporatism because many often get confused.
Capitalism is not a form of government, capitalism simply means you own yourself and the effects of your actions.
YouTube isn't capitalism, it is corporatism.
Google doesn't define it correctly for obvious political reasons, but corporatism is when companies are embedded with the government rather than separate.
A young girl selling lemonade on a corner is capitalism.
Having the police come by and tell her "That's illegal" because the guy that owns the gas station didn't like that, is corporatism.
Very few places in the world are capitalistic to the true meaning of the word and America is not one of them.
Nah, what we need is everyone from the left, right, up and down to stand together against the tyranny of the corporations before we have no ground left to stand on.

0 likesWell to be fair, he doesn't live in America.
2 likesThe thing to remember about Taylor Swift is that her parents had backgrounds in finance, so she wasn't exactly born into a working class background like Pewdiepie. Naturally, folk born from wealthier backgrounds are the ones who tend to be culturally left wing to the point of sheer insanity (as well as being prone to narcissism and looking down on the poor), yet not caring in the slightest about actual issues that affect the working class. Meanwhile, working class folk and rich people who are self made tend to be more humble and understanding of real issues, rather than resorting to the smug virtue signalling typical of Hollywood elites.
7 likesIn short, it makes sense that some stuck up piece of shit like Taylor Swift who never had to struggle through life would be so out of touch as to focus on trivial "woke" bs that doesn't concern ordinary people whereas guys like Pewdiepie stay relatable and resist Buzzfeed-tier nonsense even after they hit it big.
Honestly, I'm getting tired of all of these uninteresting, cliche, normie, unfunny, copycat, vlogger YouTuber's. They're really annoying, and get views solely off of clickbait thumbnails. No effort put into the videos.

1 likeAnother part of the loss of prestige and exclusivity associated with having the most most subscribers is ironically BECAUSE of that exclusivity. PewDiePie had been so far ahead of the game for so long that it was no longer realistic to surpass him. People kinda just stopped caring because coupled with the decreasing importance of subscribers, it sorta became a novelty thing. And a novelty is only prestigious as long as people still care enough to try to claim it. But when people saw he was probably never going to be dethroned by a regular person, they just lost interest.

0 likesI remember way back in 2013 I thought that PewDiePie's let's plays were the worst thing to happen to Youtube. At the time (and still, really) I was a much bigger fan of the researched and scripted style of the old somethingawful -style letsplays that were run by people like chuggaaconroy and Proton Jon. At the time I thought some guy screaming at the video game with his face plastered on the game, taking away from the interesting craftsmanship of the game itself was just so unimaginably brainless, there was just nothing to think about. It was just a guy and a webcam. The game itself had little value in those videos.
2 likesLittle did I know this would become the basis for all of Youtube in the coming years.
Nowadays I partake in game development by making music for games. I still think that a major contributor to sparking my interest in game development was the let's plays from back then. People explaining the game's functions and showing little tricks and intricasies in them made me think of how games work behind the scenes for the first time. It made me research them further, I joined communities discussing games, fan communities making fangames. I got swept up in the projects and ended up forming connections that are now sort of employing me years later.
Nowadays, it's very clear that Youtube is no longer inspiring kids the same way it used to. What is Jake Paul going to inspire people to make? Or whatever fucking ToyInMyAssReview channel? Be shitty excuses of human beings on the internet and complain about toys? Exploit their future generations to really cause a collective inbreeding of ideas and a total loss of any educational value of the site? It's not Youtube suffering from it exclusively either. Reddit and Discord have overtaken the small forum communities of yesteryear, and replaced them with echochambers promoting circlejerking and avoiding any constructive discussion. Twitter is actively censoring any interesting discussion and artists have to post things they themselves don't really indulge in and have not created themselves or have the creative mindset to do even in order to gain some sort of attention and hope that even a little bit of that will bleed into their own creations.
I hope that soon enough a new platform will open up. I will eagerly await to ride out the wild west of a new counterculture movement. And by god do we need it right now.
I mean, the content that is provided is radically different. PewDiePie built his channel from the ground up doing lets plays and reaction videos. PewDiePie had no prior following, no investors, he started off totally unknown and completely broke. From nothing, he became the 'King' of YouTube. He is basically the embodiment of what I call the "YouTube Dream", the ability for some nobody to become famous without any prior training or connections through their own talent. T series has financial backing from the music industry, a multi-billion dollar industry with billions of consumers, fully branded and already famous. T series is about the furthest thing away from what a "YouTuber" is.
509 likesT series may end of being the most subscribed channel, but PewDiePie will remain the most subscribed _YouTuber_.

Nobody will actually praise T-Series for anything.

I don't think anyone who is genuinely a normal human being who creates content because they want to and enjoy it like PewDiePie will ever be #1 again. Seeing the direction this platform is going in, the top channels are most likely gonna be mainstream media outlets, large corporations, and celebrities and not really genuine, independent content creators.

Yes, this is the Apocalypse. PewDiePie became #1 around when Google+ took over, which I still KNOW had a WAY better YouTube than today.
3 likesNow, Google+ is collapsing. However, I think it's because Google saw that it actually had some people power, and Google doesn't like that. Guess what happened.
in my opinion the coorperations, media, and the such should have never been allowed on the platform since they all have their own platforms.
2 likesPewDiePie is the platform. I watch from science category, arts & animations, health-related channels, vloggers. You can see the Pewds influence raining down from the platform. It's sad to see Pewds losing his spot.

1 likeI guess you could say that there will Never Ever be another YouTuber like PewDiePie
2 likesI think YouTube history can be divided into 3 periods:
302 likesGolden Age: Nov 2006-Mar 2012
The time when YouTube was still a young and emerging site. Before there was any monetization. YouTubers uploaded not for money to upload content they saw fit. Animators, mostly from Newgrounds, congregated to the site.
Silver Age: Mar 2012-Aug 2016
YouTube adjusts its algorithm to reward YouTubers not by views but by watch-time. This damages several popular YouTubers, most notably YouTube animators, who uploaded shorter content on an irregular basis. Gaming and YouTube drama videos arose at this time.
Dark Age: Aug 2016-present
YouTube’s new guidelines and policies lead to censorship and demonetization for thousands of YouTubers. YouTubers who had made YouTube there full-time careers during the silver age beg for donations on Patreon and other crowd-funding sites.

But even in the face of all of this he still manages to out-compete all these people still until sadly eventually being overcome by a company.
But then in the end you realize it took the entire orchestrated power of the mass media, the entire internet-using population of India, and Youtube literally gaming the system against him in order to overtake him, so you begin to wonder who really was the one who lost in the end.

0 likesFelix isnt a neo-nazi by definitive terms, but he obviously pandered to them for a while. And as the saying goes:
"If you sit a table with 10 people conversing with a nazi, then you're sitting with 11 nazis."

0 likeson top of him straight up lying in some cases to be a corporate tool (Shadow of Mordor among others)
And people forget that the entire Adpocalypse was started when Felix, who was partnered with Disney and is the poster boy of YouTube, decided "maybe i should pay some guys 5$ to take the fall and provide funny content for me that's also antisemitic."
I dont understand how you cant grasp how that puts Felix on the wrong.
@no bully Primarily because you'll notice that a lot of stuff that has been considered bad with him was due to corporate corruption. Like his whole deal with Disney and him starting to sell his soul to become the poster-boy of Youtube, and the whole Shadow of Mordor fiasco.
0 likesAnd let's be honest here, Pewdiepie isn't what caused the Adpocalypse. It was caused by multiple reasons including the media's hatred of Youtube as a whole, Youtube desperation for money as the platform still manages to only break even, and other channels doing way worse stuff than Pewdiepie (anyone remember those fetishistic toy channels?). It's stupid to pin the Adpocalypse on one man alone, as much as we all would want to. It's like pinning all of global warming on cars alone, when coal plants and cows produce more greenhouse gases than all cars combined.
Look I'll be the first to say Pewdiepie isn't perfect. In fact I used to fucking hate him for awhile. However you're flat out wrong if you deny he hasn't been worked over by the system, at least recently.
In the movie as he becomes really popular you could have the seeds of conflict begin when corporations get their hold of him and how he begins to resort to using the cookie cutter style in his videos. But over time he begins to question this until he ultimately decides to go rogue.
@Theodore Hodbor
0 likesThe thing is that he didn't have to "sell his soul" to Disney to just make ends meet. By the form of view count equating to your ad revenue at the time, he had easily been making large sums of money. Him partnering with Disney, previously a la the defunct Maker Studios which was disregarded by Disney for countless issues, he had done this to just increase his wealth that much more, which went to him only. (More on this in a bit)
Let's be honest, Felix's action of both casually calling someone a slur when he got angry at them and paying two people 5$ to take an antisemitic comment as a joke was just the thing that got it going. Previously, the only two things remotely doing this was the Johnny Rebel song being prefaced by ads of various brands and Pepsi's shitty ad on the North American election brawls. To call those anything isnt much. But to have your number one most subscribed channel, with major sponsors, say slurs and spread antisemitic speech? That's, uh, pretty big.
Yeah, he's been worked over by the system due to his frequent showings of having broken TOS of YouTube. They're going to keep a close eye on him because not too long ago he said a slur on their livestreaming service, and then spread antisemitic hate speech.
Now, please understand this. Felix has been making these types of videos since his Penumbra days. I, and surely you, have had to endure "CRAZY SCARY HORROR GAME #4" where the guy sees scary thing and scream. This consisted of practically all of his videos until, lately a few years ago. He isnt being forced to do those cookie cutter scream montages.
On his wealth, which he has an exceedingly large amount of. Not just from YouTube, but from sponsors, merchandise, and more. The man is not being forced into poverty, or out of his enjoyable past time as a gaming YouTuber due to any of this. Nor is it unreasonable.

Yeah, but jokes are supposed to be funny. Really, I shouldn't have to tell you this, but spreading antisemitic hate speech isn't funny! I could very easily switch Jews with an underrepresented ethnicity and you'd see what's wrong. Even George Carlin understood this difference, which is punching up and punching down.
Yes, I understand people warrant forgiveness every now and then. But these arent human errors, it's more like he had to film the video, edit it, and multiple times throughout wonder "Is this right or not?"
Not really. Knowing about your political opponents ideology and actively denouncing it when it's not good at all isnt the same as nicely conversing with them. That'd mean I could call all pro-capitalists that vehemently hate communists, communists by your twisted logic.
Sorry, but you really shouldn't be giving Nazis a platform to debate. You shouldn't be calmly talking to them. Lest you end up like Andy Warski, who disagrees with neo-nazis, surely, but hosted 4 of them on his stream and allowed them to have a talk with their conspiracies.
@no bully
3 likes1. You disregarded what I said about the Adpocalypse. I did not say that Pewdiepie didn't have anything to do with it. He was definitely a reason as for why it happened. However what I was saying is that he isn't the only reason why it happened. There were many factors involved which sort of created this perfect storm where Youtube panicked and began mass-demonetization. These reasons include: Youtube already being in the red and have been so for many years, the mass media's hate of Youtube and them taking any and every available opportunity to talk negatively about them, the other equally bad channels such as those fetishistic toy review channels, and finally Pewdiepie doing those stupid things. It's like starting a fire, without having one of the essential ingredients like wood or oxygen it won't work. If Youtube was making shit tons of money they very likely wouldn't have panicked the way they did.
2. About Pewdiepie's Nazi joke, humor is subjective. I will give you that Pewdiepie's joke was definitely edgy, but that doesn't mean he is a Neo-Nazi. In case you weren't listening almost all of Pewdiepie's fame originates from pandering to edgy kids that like scary games. This type of edgy shit is the stuff they like. Also you sort of forgot about the second message with that first one that said "subscribe to Keemstar."
The only thing I am sort of willing to give you is the fact of how he slipped saying "nigger" on a stream, as that could possibly be interpreted as a Freudian slip. However I don't recall him ever doing anything else that was incredibly racist so I personally more chalk it up as him just blurting out some random curse word.
3. I just honestly disagree with your notion that we should not provide a platform for those we don't agree with like Nazis. I will say that their ideology is definitely incredibly stupid and hateful, however just outright refusing them a platform will only weaken our argument and validate theirs, like we're afraid of debating them or something. Personally, my idea is to instead debate with them but then disprove every facet of their ideology right in their face.

1 likeI miss the good old days when having a million subs was a big deal. The first youtuber I consistently watched was UberHaxorNova. I remember that it was such a big deal for him and his followers that he was one of the handful of channels to gain the big 1 million. Those days are long gone now, sadly. I can't browse YouTube without seeing a channel with a couple million subs. Not that some of them don't deserve it. It's just that now more shit channels than good ones have millions of subs. Products of a bygone age I suppose.
0 likesT-series may be growing, but i'm guessing almost all of it's viewership is in India. So for those of us who aren't Indian, Pewdiepie will still be the god of youtube.

2 likesWe are going to start seeing a lot more videos like this but the truth is T series is an Indian music channel run by a company and is not taking any views away from PDP. It’s clickbait to say his “reign” is over. It will be over when a solo YouTuber passes him. PDP has the #1 trending video right now and it’s not even that good. I don’t see any T series videos trending even though they are well produced videos. Something is fishy with that channel. Also for the past week, T Series has consistently been 1.5 million viewers behind PDP so they may be losing steam. They can keep buying followers but it won’t help their view counts, which are pathetic considering the amount of followers T Series has.

Darth Pewdiepie was a Dark Lord of the Youtubers, so powerful and so wise he could use the children to influence the sub counts of others to create trends... He had such a knowledge of the Youtube algorithm that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying off. The dark side of the Google Co. is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his millions of subs and #1 spot, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught every person with a dream everything he knew, then T-Series killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from losing youtube milestones, but not himself.

2 likesLol, people probably never got revenue from uploading their creativity back then. People got their own jobs and shared their talents in a easy way: the internet! They're could be so much potential to today standards but due to revenue existing in this trash site, the talented are like: "Hurr-durr, I want to make a living out of YouTube by signing greedy contracts and getting revenue out of my creativity! Oh wait. These contracts are just restricting me that I have troubles in the future to get out the contract and I'm earning absolutely nothing! Oh well! Time to earn that sweet revenue by recoding myself playing video games! Cuz, it's more popular by earning the revenue from that than just sharing my talents; let it all go to waste!". It's just a problem (for an example) that most animators just left and became let's players that I dont give a crap about due to their views of revenue. Sure. I get that you deserve something from your talents, but you're getting that from the people that like your works. If talented people want to earn a revenue, they should sell merch based on their works or a Patreon or HAVE A (SECOND) JOB. Higher budget doesn't mean better quality; creativity doesn't always means commerce. People weren't like that back then in the early times of this site and I'd say the revenue system is at fault of all of this corruption on this site. Ever wonder 'why' there's corporations and bloggers on this site and becoming more popular? Because, revenue!

The things that are actually popular on YouTube disgust me... any time I come to the site NOT logged in, I'm completely horrified.

Despite all the garbage, fluff, and pandering that exist on YouTube, MY YouTube is all the things I want it to be. And they are such wildly different things that sometimes have nothing in common, yet it all comes together into my experience. This is why I never ever come across PewDiePie or T-Series videos, despite them being the most subbed channels. In that sense, there remains something democratic about the site. Even if it doesn't promote you, even if it DEMONETIZES your channel, it will keep showing you to that person whose taste aligns with your channel. That's how I keep hopping to different culture-themed video essays like what this channel makes.

Era 1 (2005 - 2007): The rise of animation and shitty short films
Era 2 (2008 - 2012): Rise of YouTube poops and more exposure to memes
Era 3 (2013 - 2015): Rise of Gaming and Let's plays
Recent Era (2016 - Now): Vlogs, toy channels, and corporate celebrities.

Really cool with that whole "Scott the Wox, RelaxAlax, NitroRad" being the new era of (Golden age) "JonTron, PBG, AngryJoe" trend.
Kinda the conclusion I came to myself, but neat hearing it in such clear words.
also nostalgia about 2009-2013 era PewDiePie, and then hating him for 2 years, or somethingSymbolism. Once T Series takeover, many people(fans, haters, neutrals) will talk.
137 likesYoutube was like the Wild West. There were ads but atleast it wasn't unskippable video ads. Remembering the past YT content, poops, let's plays, dramas, educational content, music, animations, gold, shit, etc.
Everyone was scrambling and experimenting with ideas...until everyone was able to figure out how to efficiently squeeze more $ efficiently out of everything.
Good things do come to an end. We are forced to finally accept the new era which came long ago.

0 likesI think he should still be technically counted as the number 1 because T-Series is a corporation and PewDiePie is an actual home-grown YouTuber
1 likei used to be one of those people who didn't like pewdiepie back in the day but i have to give him his props for changing with the times. it would've been real easy for him to stick with that same kind of pandering, 'kid friendly' content but he took his channel the direction he wanted to take it and that's pretty admirable. especially nowadays when everyone's so content to ride the wave of doing the same thing over and over as long as it gets them their revenue.
15 likesHe is still the most subscribed youtuber, even if he doesn't have the most subscribed youtube channel.
1 likeDamn I might not have watched a Pewdiepie video in almost a decade but nothing's gonna change the fact that some of the first videos I ever watched on the site were him screaming at Happy Wheels back in 2009, from my friend's basement in between rounds of CoD. That shit was hilarious... and now I'm real sad.
0 likesI think it's basically the end of original content on YouTube
1 likeI really enjoy the fact that these cooperations with the backing of millions of dollars spent on their videos and advertisements, still couldn't match a single human being with little to no resources. It's even better that pewdiepie wasn't ambitious, greedy, cruel or a self serving narcissist. He had gained his audience with his personality, and charisma and he kept that for so many years. He never let fame go to his head, nor did he break down, he had always remained humble. Not only that, he matures with his audience, we get to see this silly kid grow up to be wiser and gains a better sense of the world as he age. He makes the videos he wanted without trying to strategically pander or lie to his audience for more views. Sure, he made mistakes, he's human after all, but none of it resulted in maliciousness. However, Youtube had been bought by Google and Google is a cooperation. For a while, the top dogs tried to bring Pewdiepie down to serve cooperate interests. Now Youtube doesn't let Pewdiepie get promoted anymore? That sucks. Too bad Youtube, Wall Street Journal and the other top company's had to artificially bring him down so they could bring the mass media back up. In the end, it's wealth, and power that would triumph.

it's not all about population yes population is playing a major role for Tseries but in recent years internet usages increasing very fast in India because of cheap fiber plans and cellular data. I have 100 Mbps plan with no download limit what so ever and I pay only 10$ per month it was not possible 2 years before that is the reason so many Indian channels crossing 10 mil subscriber mark very easily and Indian viewers are hungry for content right now...this is the best time for Indian YouTubers even I have one channel with 20k subs I am not even serious about youtube stuff
22 likesWell that certainly explains the sudden growth, but why T-Series out of all the indian youtube channels?
3 likes@Scientist Walter people are hungry and tseries is feeding them with quality content. No one in india right now making quality content becuase no one has that much money plus tseries getting views alot which is beneficial for youtube so they are also helping tseries in promotion like if you make a new youtube account in india youtube will show you tseries on your home screen as suggestion even some people said if you make new account YouTube automatically subscribe you to tseries in india which i dont think is true because i never saw it personally

3 likesThey changed the sub box from beautiful shiny gold, to period red.
I never really liked pewdepie’s content on YouTube, but I do respect him. He built a YouTube channel that has more reach over audiences bigger than massive corporations that spend millions just to get as much attention as him. He is a self-made man on YouTube. Seeing his channel getting overtaken by a corporate channel shows that building a successful channel from the ground up is nearly impossible at this point.

0 likesWe have to sadly accept our fates from the corporate Indian overlords. R.I.P YouTube, hello Corprotube.
75 likesOne thing I'm going to have to disagree with:
0 likes"He was hated for the same reasons that people like the Paul brothers are hated today"
nah, back then it was just "he's annoying!!!" or "his fans are annoying!1!".
People hate the Paul brothers because they do legitimately shitty things and are generally shitty people; manipulating kids, using exes for views, etc. and yet they're still allowed to be popular because...YouTube likes them, I guess? Pewdiepie wasn't outed for being some despicable person at least.
I think this says more about the bar back then of how many shitty people had an audience v.s. now. Back then, if "their fanbase is so annoying!" was the thing people were hyper focused on, it says there probably wasn't as much shit as there is on YouTube today. Today we have people like the Paul brothers, those hypocrites from the Beauty community, Ricegum, Onision (he's an OG YouTuber but back in 2012-2013 it wasn't widely know), and these people practically fund channels.
Though I do have to say, if people thought Pewds was "family friendly" back then, lolno. He had a sense of humor full of sex jokes, curses, everything under the sun. He just accidentally attracted a bunch of tweens/teens, including this girl XD
It about time to be honest just kinda sad it took a professional company to do it....now expect them to be in every rewind

0 likesThis does not dismiss your argument in the vid however but the landscape of YT has turned into more corporate like feeling and in a way it feels like watching the news. It’s clean yet not too extensive.
Also I love how many people refrence Ninja when a small portion have been watching him for almost 10 years, at most hated him because his play style often fucked his team over (Halo the game that created e sports).
0 likesI finally subbed to you, you jew. Your content is that good and I cleared empty subscriptions so might as well fill in some less empty ones.
0 likesI can certaintly say, being a empty subscriber to some people, that your view on that matter must be as accurate as a youtube theory can get.

0 likesBlinded by money and fueled by corporations funneling their money through it, Youtube has become the very thing it swore to destroy. Its motto was "Broadcast Yourself". The question back then was "how", but now it is "why". Pewdiepie got big because he knew the "how". Back then, before Youtube was hyper-profitable, Felix knew how to grow his channel. He displayed himself. Thats all people wanted. Someone they could look up to in the new frontier that was Youtube. It was as if, if Pewdiepie could do it, so could you. But Youtube has since become greedy. They are no longer the underdogs. they are no longer a cool, safe platform to express yourself and get away from it all. It is now an empire, protected by walls of asshole vloggers who upload four times a day every day with the most bland content imaginable, as well as massive companies whose sole goal is to earn your view, play their ad, and collect their revenue. These horrible walls will only get taller, and they will only get stronger. They may never come down. Not in our lifetimes, anyways. But as large as these walls get to protect this empire, we, as subscribers and viewers, must always remember the foundation . Youtube was built upon people like us. Pewdiepie, Smosh, Jontron, you name it. And we must never forget that. Gone are the days of "Broadcast Yourself", as the days of "Broadcast your Company for Free Ad Revenue" are neigh. You tube, is now Reve nue tube. But as long as we remember our brothers and sisters and continue their support, they will still survive in the shadows. They do not need to be at the top, but they only need our support. They need our support, because one day, Youtube will make ONE mistake, and they will all become bankrupt. All of the corporations: Vevo, T-series and all corporations alike will come crashing down due to one small change. They will no longer receive the millions of views they require to survive. They will die. All that will be left... will be the Pewdiepies. The individuals. And Youtube will beg for their mercy. I do not know when this day will come, nor does anybody. But it will come. It will come eventually. And until then, we will wait. Our time will come. Then, Youtube will have no choice but to let us "Broadcast Ourselves". Mark my words. This day will come. And when it does, we will have our website back.

1 likeDefinitely fell into the camp of hating his guts at the beginning. Recommended to me hell and back by YT, by friends, and it wasn't something I could just roll my eyes at, it was something that actively hurt to watch with how loud it got and when it wasn't what you had was some guy stammering harder than Obama without a teleprompter. It didn't help that when the creator of Let's Play, Slowbeef made a video pointing out how obnoxious, bad taste, and low quality his content was, his response was to post a comment saying to keep doing these videos because it netted him more money, the bottom of the barrel response devoid of any value.
0 likesMy guess is due to indulging in that type of content, the recommendations for him largely stopped, and instead YT began recommending more fitting channels. He'd pop back up again when he had that kill all jews fiasco and saying n*gger while giggling, but it was indifference. Then we get to here, where suddenly my friends start saying we need to subscribe to him to beat T-Series to 100mil and naturally the response is hell no, why would I subscribe to this wailing racist clown just to beat another channel I know nothing about. Then they began to put his meme review up on for Thursdays when we'd hang out...and it was the same sensation as watching a before and after for a fat person dropping 400lbs, it was the polar opposite of what he did back in 2012/2013. It wasn't particularly funny, but I got a chuckle here and again, which is an infinite upgrade from pure suffering.
Probably the closest I've been to kind of liking him was seeing how varied his interactions were, it wasn't strictly mainstream crap, there were some genuine callbacks to old YT. Seeing "Touhou music is hella lit" in my recommended one day felt like a fever dream and seeing his mug in the top right...I thought it was clickbait, surely enough it was real and I laughed for the first time at PDP. Then it links me a video of him watching perhaps the oldest Touhou animation, Marisa Stole the Precious Thing and he's just gushing over the fact that he used to sing that song when he was in high school...and then being a bit weirded out listening to it, a normal response for aged content.
At the end of the day...yeah I would much prefer him be at the top versus this manufactured frankenstein YOUtube has elected to build. Even if you create something that is genuinely revolutionary, someone will swoop in and take virtually all the credit/attention. Spike Chunsoft created DanganRonpa, something at risk of dying early in development due to Japan's sensitivity on blood and murder of students, something that only ever came to the West thanks to a single person translating the first game on the forum that invented Let's Play, and now Squid Game has run away with the formula and made bank, while its inspiration just barely broke 5 million sales across three games over the course of 11 years.

IMO monetization is the sole reason youtube started its downward spiral. It was no longer about making videos for entertainment, it was for money. It started with reply girls, then bloggers who spammed the tags. People slowly wanted more and more of that revenue that actual content was being ignored. Youtube doesnt care, if youtubers make money they make money. So they promote the most cancerous types of commercial videos just so they can gain a profit.

Even when he is taken over by T-Series many people, including myself, won't accept it. Not because of saltyness of fanboyism but because Youtube was not and is not a place for mainstream corporations to make a name for themselves. Having someone like Pewdiepie on top vs a channel that handles hundreds of mainstream pop stars under 1 roof are not even comparable. It's not a place they earned, it's a place they BOUGHT. As far as I'm concerned, the only people on the top subs list that are deserving to be called Youtubers are the individuals themselves that started from scratch and built their fanbase. VEVO channels and corporate conglomerates may as well be blank spaces on that list in my eyes. Pewdiepie is still far from being surpassed by a real Youtuber

0 likesEmp, you forgot that for small channels, you're not even allowed monetization until you hit 1k subs. So youtube is still forcing the relevancy of sub counts even to this day. Also the reason he's so well-loved now is because a lot of his fans have grown up and still love him. Also as someone who's never cared for him, I definitely prefer his reaction-type videos more than his older let's play stuff. He also just seems to have improved at comedy in general.

But before we can do that we'll need a destination (this can be quite difficult since every "youtube-esque" platflom that appears is quickly limited and hindered by lawsuits and special interests ex. Bitchute) Once we have said platflom convincing the youtube masses will be easy. Creators will migrate slowly bringing portions of their audience with them, the communities would be smaller but the content will be uncensored and unhindered by pesky algorithms. At this point youtube will be seen for the corporate machine that it really is(basically how we view cable t.v. right now) By then people will use YouTube for different reasons, they'll use it to watch ellen, trevor kimmel, music videos or what's the difference between a $1 prostate exam or a $200 prostate exam. In other words, youtube will be for the normies and our new platform will be for people who want what youtube once was or something entirely new, something made by the people for the people.

0 likesI'm going to school for web development, I could make the new site myself. I could market it by drawing comparisons to the old YouTube, and contrasts with the new YouTube. I could encourage others to upload all their videos to both YT and the new site, but occasionally make vids exclusively for the new site. Maybe call for February to become "National Don't-Upload-To-YouTube month."

0 likesCybernik The Robot sorry for being vague. I meant currently viable alternatives with even borderline comparable audience sizes, monetization options etc. There are a few similar websites but they're a far cry from YT where it counts, i.e. number of users, and they aren't serious competitors (at least yet) unlike e.g. various car, clothing, electronics etc. brands that offer similar, competitive products and can realistically challenge one another for the position of the market leader.
0 likesI do hope e.g. Bitchute or some such will eventually replace YT as the de facto video hosting site like FB replaced MySpace way back when.
Dailymotion supports monetization and if you want something almost as big as Youtube, you can look at Vimeo, but trust me the website is legit worse than Youtube.

41 likesElektr0 Gaming if it does, that mean he was never Number One Youtuber. It always was Sports and Music
9 likesIsn't T-series also just a glorified playlist? It's just a bunch of mainstream crap that they jam into one youtube channel. that's essentially the same thing.
12 likesI never said I cared that much lol I'm just telling you why it's essentially just a glorified playlist.
2 likesSo playlists have content from other peoples channels, or other peoples work. Content from other peoples channels == other peoples work being featured on that channel. T-Series essentially just uploads other peoples work aka, features other peoples work on their channel. Taken directly from the wiki page, it say's that "T-Series is a film production and record label company, that focuses primarily on music videos and movie trailers." That's it... That means people who want to make something go to them to get it produced. by doing that the company essentially owns the creators work, and therefore has the right to distribute it on something like their YouTube channel. This means that their youtube channel is just a collection of other peoples work. and what else is a collection of other peoples work? A playlist, I.e a glorified playlist...
Not to mention practically everyone in India seems to be auto subbed to the channel. and India has a huge population of people. so that kills it's legitimacy right there. This channel will pass Pewdiepie, and no one is going to care. it's just going to awkwardly sit at the top and become an internet meme. T-Series might be the most subscribed channel, but pewdiepie will still be the most subscribed Youtuber.
1: this isn't some political debate, I wasn't using a "straw man" I was just telling you why I believed they were essentially a playlist. Jesus Christ stop being so defensive.
6 likesAlso I never said a playlist was or wasn't specifically re uploaded content. I just said it was content created by different people put together in one list. Of course, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. but when it comes to channels like Youtube Music, it usually is.
2: Yeah I've heard that as well and maybe it's true, but a group of people claiming that doesn't mean it isn't happening to other people. but regardless if it is or not, it's obvious that the channel is being heavily pushed to them somehow. Most people who have subscribed are probably only subscribed due to it's mainstream reach and don't actually care about 90% of what they upload. The views reflects that.
3: here's the definition of "Youtuber" from google
a frequent user of the video-sharing website YouTube, especially someone who produces and appears in videos on the site.
Key words being "especially someone who produces AND appears in videos on the site" as opposed to "produces OR appears in videos on the site"
that's an important difference as it means a channel can't just produce content, or just appear in videos and be considered a youtuber. they have to play a major role in both processes. So nobody in a T-Series video is a youtuber, unless they have a separate channel or something

1 likePewds is still the no.1 “youtuber”
0 likesjust not no.1 YouTube channel
It was all that WSJ article that did it. Everything from the increasingly corporate nature of Youtube, to the respect PewDiePie gets starts from that article. For me, I hated PewDiePie back in 2012-2013, I thought he was an obnoxious brat who ruined games with stupid jokes. I remember looking up Slender because I heard how scary it was, but I watched Felix's video, without knowing who he was at the time, and he just ruined the game. I also wanted to watch him play Bully, but his facecam blocked the game and he skipped a lot of it, so based on those experiences, I hated him. But then, after 2014, I just forgot about him (at least as much as you can with Youtube promoting him everywhere) and he faded. Then the article came out, I went back to his videos, and found out how much he had changed. I think why people like him is that he's a defiant voice against corporate censorship and pc bullshit, he's become too big for Youtube to remove his channel or even deperson him. Also, considering he's a millionaire, he probably makes most videos as sort of a hobby where he can be himself. Felix's story is pretty inspiring, not just for an average man becoming famous, but also how that same man was hated by the majority of Youtube at first, but eventually he became beloved among the creators. It really feels like Corpro-Tube is upon us and we're sort of stuck with it.

@Be N S O N The article contributed to Youtube trying to suppress his channel. Even if everyone other than the feminists were on his side, the legacy media wasn't, and the legacy media had the power to influence Youtube's advertisers. As a result, they began burying his channel, but since he was so massive, it wasn't very successful for a while. However, it appears that we're on the verge of Youtube getting its way, though Felix has held out as #1 for longer than EmperorLemon thought.

Over time, he moved on to playing simpler games, which everybody was more interested in, people were getting bored of horror game let's plays over and over. 2016 he did challenges and later 2016-early 2017 he made 'comedy' content. All he was doing was appealing to the masses and what they wanted, despite his arising mental health issues. He was still the same edgy, swearing, obnoxious person, hated by many but loved by Youtube. But now he wasn't himself, but a brand.
192 likesThen the infamous 'incident' came in 2017, which represented a huge turning point. Youtube completely cut ties with him, and he went it alone. Later the same year, the 'bridge' incident as well as the adpocalyse came along, which really started to limit his content. 2018 Pewdiepie is a completely different character. He's moved on from his old 'edgy' character, while it's not completely gone, he's far more mature. His humor now is based on sarcasm and irony. He's making an effort to retain his existing fans, and he's happy with that.

0 likesHit the nail right on the head as always. People on YouTube now use it literally as platform to boost themselves to getting commercials and acting deals and making money so they just care about making the one viral video that will make them famous. And while Pewdiepie made and continues to make a lot of money on YouTube, he really is just a guy who wanted to record himself playing video games and have fun. Back in the day, Pewdie himself said he would keep making YouTube videos even if he wasn’t super popular. And while most YouTubers say the same thing, with Pewdiepie I genuinely believe it. I never counted VEVO’s as contenders as most popular YouTube channels but it is sad to see essentially the King of YouTube being dethroned. There will never be another Pewdiepie and I’m so glad he’s became as successful as he did because he really deserves it. #BroArmyForever

He's an honest-to-god independant youtuber. That's who youtube was supposed to be for. That's who was king of the hill. That was Pewdiepie. That was why he was on top. Now that it isn't, his reign is over. They finally won. Now, you ask, "Who's on top of youtube?" And whoever you're talking to would depress just a little bit. "No one important." That's really the only answer to that question. And that just isn't right, that shouldn't be the answer. Why isn't "Top of the #2 website" an important title, demanding respect?

0 likesWait do you you guys actually consider T-Series? Like even if they are number 1, I would think of them as a vevo channel. Not a proper YouTube channel, I'd personally consider him number one even when t-series takes over because in my eyes they're just corporate garbage.

0 likesI'm glad to have been watching YouTube since about 2007/8. I got to see the site go through its glory years, but it's so much sadder to look at what it's become. YouTube has run the course of the human race, only at an exponentially faster rate. It started out as something rather beautiful, and as it progressed it flourished. And after that, simply mistake after mistake has happened and it's slowly died. We still use it because there are great things happening here, with certain channels and relics of the past, but yeah. The site has withered, and cunts like Susan Wojcicki aren't going to do fucking anything to breathe life back into the site and the real content creators because they don't care about anything but money. It's heartbreaking to watch something once beautiful become the "bad end" of capitalism.

Aah, the early days of YT...
2 likesI started using Youtube in 2005 and saw it begin with hardly any content and what was available was extremely low quality. As it grew, competition pushed the quality of videos to new levels of creativity (and clickbait). While I do miss the interactive days of youtube where you could upload your own wallpaper to your channel and reply with video replies, to be honest the amount and quality of content has grown to be much better. So don't feel that bad. It might not be much better, but it's definitely not worse than when it started. Though I agree, it's lost its soul.

What do you mean by that?
I mean that humanity was technically something new and beautiful when it first came into existence. As the years passed, humanity was able to achieve such things as civilisation, technology, advancements in science, etc etc- the more time passed, the better things got (standard and comfort of living, mortality rates and more.) This has happened over thousands of years. YouTube started off as something new-or, at the very least, did what it did better than its competitors-and as it grew it got better and better-adsense became a thing, quality of content and resolution increased drastically, the UI improved, ordinary people could become famous and make money off the site-everything was great. Then mistakes, such as google+, happened, and after that it's been getting worse and worse for creators with minor improvements to other parts of the site along the way, just as humanity is in a slow decline as if we continue the current course, we're dead, just as the site could be called now in a technical term, as it has lots its soul and has become a machine opposed to what it was in the golden years. Sorry if the explanation is a bit crap!

Now I find myself watching basically all of his content given he is a lot different now, and I think we’ve both grown a lot through the years with YouTube.

2016 I feel like 2016 was a unique year. It was before a ton of channels went corporate, and when there wasn't a metric shit ton of drama.
2017-now Earlier, youtubers go through major drama, likely fabricated for publicity. The goal of many users of the platform quickly shifts from genuine good content to trying to get as much ad revenue as possible. I feel like this is when youtube as we once knew it dies.
Farewell Youtube, hopefully we will one day have another site to replace you, or a new movement will start on this site to oppose how corporate it's gone and begin to make tons of content not appropriate for ad revenue, begin to speak out about what youtube has become, etc. However, youtube is a business at the end of the day, and nothing we can do aside from mass boycotting will fix their current methods.

2 likesAlphaRW Hilary Clinton was also predicted to win the election by a landslide too. Predictions can be wrong, especially if people are rallied behind one side
1 like@Aaron Landry but, it seems very, very unlikely that t series' growth will stop, growth just doesn't disappear overnight. The only way it could be possible for pewds to win at this point is t series having a controversy that makes youtube hate them (also extremely unlikely), pewds is at a point where he has run out of people that can promote him, and can no longer grow at a rate to pass t series, within a couple weeks, pewdiepie's recent gains will shift, and no new people will be able to promote him. I predict a T series takeover somewhere around february at the max. Comparing this to the election predictions is different because, a presidential election occurs at one point while this is constant, T series' growth has to stop but, it can't stop within the next few months to allow pewdiepie to obtain his spot on #1. And t series IS in fact gay.

0 likesAre you going to do more YouTube Poops
0 likesMost effective way to end corporate YouTube is by ending the revenue earned on YouTube. People shouldn't earn money from YouTube, it could be from external sources such as Patreon, however YouTube should not provide revenue for content creators. Providing revenue will encourage YouTubers to create dead content that's only purpose is revenue farming in YouTube, taking that away will leave content creators who are only there for the love of making videos, and viewers who love the creators, some of which would support the creator financially. Obviously this will have a major knock-on effect for not only YouTube, but also for the creators, and viewers; YouTube will receive less visitors of the site, less business opportunities, although more revenue from the cuts of costs for paying YouTubers; content creators will be directly affected as most creators will lose their drive for making videos, but it will shave off those who are only their for the revenue and are content/revenue farming, and leave those who are: interested in making videos, or are loyal to the site and their viewers, or receive financial support from other sources, although they will benefit from the freedom of the decreased community guidelines (to which are there for YouTube to benefit so other corporate entities do not abandon them); the viewers will also be affected negatively by the change, they will see alot less of some of the channels they enjoyed who were there for financial support, however they could see an increase in content created for the love of creating content, for example my channel, I do not monetise any of my videos (understandable I do not upload at as much), I only make them because I enjoy it; this change will overall benefit all people on YouTube, while also understandably creating setbacks for them.
73 likesI know it might seem like a bad idea, but honestly, the direction YouTube is heading in, moving back is necessary for YouTube, because at some point, YouTube is going to get filled with creatively dead channels, that exploit the algorithms, leaving the creatively flourishing channels to die.

14 likes@Control Room Then how did AVGN continuously make funny content for so long? He's been around since the dawn of YouTube and was one of the first channels to really make a series of content and besides the dead period when he was doing his movie, he has been going at it for all this time, before monetization on YouTube was even an option. Even without direct monetization, there's other sources of revenue like patreon and twitch. So your argument is completely baseless.
13 likesBryan Smith Some people have time for that but most youtubers cannot. Why do you take only one example and call my arguement baseless
1 likeBecause there's also more examples, AVGN is just the best one. ADoseOfBuckley for example has been running since 2010 and only just quit making content this year from burnout, he has stated numerous times that he has not ONCE clicked the monetize button on any of his videos, the only times his videos had ads on them is when music companies claimed them for themselves.
11 likesSure, he's sold t-shirts and special content on bandcamp once and a while, but those didn't actually make him that much money, maybe like $2000 dollars or so I think. Dude actually sold off an oven mitt of his once on ebay and gave all the money away to charity just to one-up Kim Kardashian's "charity".
Youtube has to make money to exist. That's why there are ads on youtube. Not so creators can make money from their videos. They were implemented so google could make some profit off this site, which they still haven't done all these years later.
2 likesI think it's too late for that. Once you go corporate, there's no going back. It's like the gaming industry: Why spend years making a good game, when you can spend one year, charge full price and add more chunks as you go along which are marketed as DLC? The gamers will always queue up for their favorite title, and they'll play it and buy all the DLC no matter how bad it is. Maybe it's time for a new YouTube, or just a new 'thing' altogether.

Where as the west has entrenched corporations who don't mind paying a few million out of their billions so the poor shut up and take the welfare. after all if people stay satisfied and all their basic needs met they will be happy consumers and not potential competition.

@Shady Triceratops here's the problem with that. Their viewer count on their videos is questionable. What PewDiePie gets on a new videos in a day, T-Series gets on a new video the next week. I get that the majority of a Youtuber's income comes from rewatches of older videos. But it's kind of odd for T-series's newer videos to take that a whole week to clear 1 million views when they're getting so many subscribers per day.

-In India we have multiple music streaming website but the availability of music is too spread out within multiple music streaming apps. So people just playlist that shit on YT and probably get Auto subbed. Coz music easily available on YT than a licensed song on stream.

0 likesIt's kind of a glorified perspective on things to say that PewDiePie started and ended the Let's Play genre. Even back in the SomethingAwful days, when it was more or less a bubble of content creators, you had people high up the ranks like Cloud8745, ProtonJon, and Retsupurae. In fact, around the same time that PewDiePie surpassed 100,000 subscribers, I remember people like SeaNanners and Yogscast having somewhere around a million. Those are 2012 numbers, too-back when a million subscribers actually meant something. PewDiePie didn't popularize the Let's Play. He popularized screamer facecam #spoopi overreacted Let's Play that, more or less, evolved into the world of modern day vlogging.

0 likesI do still hate him for killing memes and all, but corporations are to pewdiepie what he is to, say, grandayy.
0 likesHere’s T-SERIES explained by an INDIAN
54 likes(Some points you already mentioned and some I like to add)
1) People barely mention this point, just like America has Hollywood, India has Bollywood and each bollywood movie consists of many songs, these songs are published on TV as well as on the internet platforms way before the movie is released just to promote that movie, and T Series is one of the only platforms for those Hindi Songs
2) So those songs are not created FOR youtube, they are created FOR a part in the movie that are released as individual songs way before to promote that movie, and that’s the major reason they display ads on big channels, ads would promote those songs, the songs will promote the movie and the movie will get a massive opening which is the end goal (getting youtube views is NOT)
3) Apart from that, there are songs that are created by artists for their upcoming album and not for a movie, they DONT have their own individual channels so they are published on their music label’s channel and that music label happens to be T-Series
4) The inconsistency of views per video on T-Series videos can be explained very easily, the bigger the celebrity featured in the video, the more views it gets, people don’t say “Ohh, T-Series uploaded a new video” , it’s more like “Ohh my fav singer made a new song or it’s my favourite movie’s song”
5) To make a theory of why “T-Series” is big is ridiculous, just imagine VEVO having one common channel for all the artists instead of one channel for each artist
Infact just imagine Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Eminem, Drake, Post Malone, all of their songs COULD ONLY be found on one channel ONLY.....obviously they would have higher viewership, it’s just that you guys are not aware of big celebs in India and are surprised to see a channel come out of nowhere but if you think about it, it’s actually not that surprising
6) And lastly, I don’t think pewdiepie is getting “dethroned” , he is not the biggest youtube channel right now anyways (even though the ones that are bigger than him are youtube’s own channels but still....) , he is the biggest “Individual Creator” and he will remain the same even if T-Series crosses him (I think PhilyD made this point too)

0 likes@YensR ok. but do you hate him, or just don't find his videos entertaining?
0 likes@freddy46 Not sure how that is relevant to what I said. But since you asked: I dislike his videos and his persona and the influence he has on his audience and the wider media landscape. I'd never use the word "hate" though.
0 likes@YensR 1. his persona is sarcastic, but yeah, even I sometimes get lost and don't know if he is sarcastic or not. 2. In my opinion, his effect on the wider media is positive (+ much more positive when compared to other large media corporations like WSJ, Vox, etc)
0 likes@freddy46 See, I am completely of the opposite opinion. I am not even sure I'd use the term sarcastic. Sarcastic implies some finesse and I just don't see that in his persona. When I say persona, I mean the person he is playing on social media. I have no idea about the human behind Pewd.
0 likesSaying that Pewdee has more positive effect on the media than established news outlets is mindboggling to me. Nothing useful has ever come out of Pewdiepie IMO. What would you as a rightwinger say are pewd's main achievements that make him "much more positive when compared to other large media corporations"?
Are you not a rightwinger, then? Who was your favourite US presidential candidate or primary candidate of the last 11 years? Oh, and I did not make my assumption based on your like of Pewd, I made it based on your dislike of Vox, which generally is a clearer indicator.
0 likesAlso, I get memes (probably not the same ones that you get) I just don't think his memes are funny. Now, if I were a right-leaning shitlord from kekistan and not some rando NPC from socialist venezuela...
The lack of positive media articles about Pewd doesn't mean that the negative ones are lying. Maybe the criticism is justified and you are wrong about him?
Most people, even on the left, do not think Pewd is a nazi. We just think he doesn't care enough to be anti-nazi and that makes him attractive to the right-leaners and therefore dangerous.
Pewd's memes are overwhelmingly catering to right-leaning people, there is very little in his stuff that is attractive to left-leaners.
Also, line breaks, man, line breaks!
What are the most pressing issues of the right according to Pewd when he is using his indoor voice?
@YensR I do not count my self as a rightwinger. also, I don't know if you realize this but ASSUMING stuff in front of people about the same people really makes you look bad and untrustworthy. you have to try to make yourself as unbiased as you can if you ever plan on convincing anyone anything.
0 likesback to my response:
"Now, if I were a right-leaning shitlord from kekistan and not some rando NPC from socialist venezuela..." you aren't my friend to make such claims and expect me to know how much you are exaggerating this.
1. well let's look at this "deserved" criticism from our friend VOX searches "VOX pewdiepie" - aha! pewdiepie, a person who is an antisemite because he recommended an "antisemitic" youtuber E;R (who is actually just really edgy)
of course, beneath the 3 vids recommended is actually a neutral and maybe positive article about pewdiepie from Vox talking about the PDP vs T-s trend
and....and... a message on Reddit from a VOX employee telling that they are talking (and lying) about pewdiepie just to generate clicks and not because of any real hate...
huh (still disproves your point so HAHA)
"pdp isn't anti-nazi so attracts right-leaning ppl" - oh wow. WOW. so you're THAT type of person? by that logic the left is just a bunch of commies! but they aren't communists, they're regular people, why can't you get that about the right, or any other group?
+ "Pewd's memes are overwhelmingly catering to right-leaning people, there is very little in his stuff that is attractive to left-leaners. " - what? how are they "catering" to the right? by that logic, the whole internet is catering to the right! he's just a reactor, who reacts to current trends, he doesn't choose them!
I guess it's true that "the left can't meme" huehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehuehue (joke)
what line breaks? the line of your stupidity? just stop being mad/passive-aggressive, it's not that hard.
I would have to be a die-hard pdp fan to know the answer to the last question XD
@YensR okay, okay, I'm definitely right-leaning. i don't know what the right stands for, but I see that I disagree with left-leaning things more.
0 likes1.I have no idea on your first questions since I don't livee in USA.
2.yeah, can't argue with that :/
3.yeah
4.ok
5.my other argment was that his opinion seemed more unbiased when he was talking about actual news.
6.okay, that point was just my opinion because I can't recall him saying "haha dumb right" or "haha dumb left" so I just ASSUMED he's pretty neutral.
also idk what's the difference, but your last comment makes my want to agree with you much more, opposite of your other comments, where I had to stop myself from getting defensive and angry.
P.S. : really recommend using grammarly (even the free version), really helps notice dumb mistakes faster.
People, and especially you Emp, we may have not fully done it last year, BUT, we were more than successful this year! Go to the 2018 Rewind now and see the like to dislike ratio! But don’t stop there! YOU TOO must contribute to disliking the Rewind! Together, we can can get this Rewind up to 5 million dislikes! No, screw that, it should be 10 million! We have to make the 2018 Rewind the single most disliked video on all of YouTube, more than Justin Bieber’s Baby! I think with the drama YouTube has caused this year, it’s more possible than ever! And then, when they see that their end of the year party is the most disliked video, they will HAVE to bow down to us, the actual content creators! Those Hollywood celebrities and pop stars say that they control the Rewind, but it will soon be US controlling the Rewind! And we’ll be controlling more than that! By creating fake comments that they said they would read and give what was wanted, they gave US the middle finger and shunned us, so it’s time for us to get revenge on them once and for all! If they don’t pay attention to it, well, at least we tanked the Rewind! But if they do listen, it will be rewarding for us when we get to put our furious thoughts through YouTube’s deranged brain!

Mission accomplished! Rewind has officially been tanked! 10 million dislikes reached! Most disliked on all of YouTube in a week! Now all we gotta do is wait for YouTube to see the destruction and y’know, ACTUALLY READ THE COMMENTS!!! And then we can tell them finally how to fix their issues!

Completly agree. Itll be hard as hell though, but would be hilarious to watch go down
1 likeAlessandro Lira For too long there has been clickbait, bad repetitive content, and demonetization for stupid reasons, and it’s time for all that to stop! Btw, I know a lot of people complain about the Rewind having YouTubers that nobody cares about, but I honestly think that’s the least of it’s problems when you consider the plagues that YouTube has been ignoring and blaming us for! I mean, would you rather have a channel that not many care about or Jake Paul? Plus, I didn’t really expect PewDiePie or T-Series to be in the Rewind at all because, y’know, ever since last year with the N-bomb and the false accusations of being a Nazi, YouTube as a business just wants nothing to do with PewDiePie anymore, so it’s not really a surprise to me that it’s not in the Rewind!
1 like@Daniel the level 100 I agree man. However demand is also very high for PewDiePie. Despite all the shit with T-Series right now. He has not only managed to survive without YouTube's support, but thrive. People now have respected him now than ever before if only for his independence and willingness to continue. So the difference between say putting the Paul brothers on another rewind despite them having gone through similar scandals is that the community as a whole is much more supportive of PDP and he has their sympathies, something YouTube could use to foster goodwill because right now faith in them is astoundingly low, so say if something else were to pop up and cause decent competition to YouTube, many people would have no issues switching because right now they couldn't care less about the platform. They're just setting themselves up for failure when the going will inevitable get tough for them.

0 likesThat dollar shave club plug at the end was actually pretty funny. Taking endorsements by itself isn't 'selling out' in my opinion.

0 likesTo me, Pewdiepie was the perfect guy to be in that position. I mean, he represented me, and the internet that I like. The random guy, the independent artist who do what he love doing, regarless of the companies and everything. Since quite a long time now, internet is concentrated in a really little amount of websites. And, eventhough, there are still a shit ton of people doing there thing, You really need to reserch this type of people and content to find them. I guess, the soul of internet was always to search for specific content that you don't find anywhere else. Keep searching for creative people guys ! :)

1 likeHonestly, I'll still see him as the most subscribed youtuber, as he is an individual (yes he has editors) but who do you think is going to look up to T series? People will see it as a company that got to the top by cheating the system, like most companies on youtube, but Felix is just a guy
0 likesWhen you think about it, Google just made Youtube into another TV network. Ads, selling products, branding, and channel icons to reach out to people. There's a reason why they removed the Broadcast Yourself slogan in 2014/2015.
0 likesI'm gonna have to disagree about PewDiePie being so well-respected and beloved nowadays. There are many people who still hold the Fiverr and N-word incidents against him (myself not included) and I feel like there are plenty of people in the meme community that don't care much for him either (myself included).
0 likesI would honestly say PewDiePie has been a lot worse for memes in the past year or so than Behind the Meme ever was, since so many more people see his videos dissecting memes. He does a better job, but it's usually just as lazily done. It's just that PewDiePie kind of knows what he's talking about. He still ends up usually misinforming his audience about whatever memes he's talking about, and spreading it to millions of people who are going to run it into the fucking ground in no time flat. I wouldn't say he's a death sentence for memes, but he's certainly a near-fatal blow for most of them.
Even if you don't care about memes, he still bases pretty much all of his recent videos on content other people have made. Whether it's in LWIAY, where he just looks at stuff people have made for him to look at, and where he's named the show off of another creator's successful program (jokingly, but like he still put no effort into making it his own thing).
Or whether it's in Meme Review, where half the time he's just looking at examples of whatever meme he's talking about, which when it comes to video memes fucks them over. They're not going to get very many extra views for being featured in a PewDiePie video when he shows the entire fucking thing. Oh, and this show is also named after another creator's successful(ish) program with as far as I can tell, zero to no acknowledgment given. It's honestly kind of insulting because The Meme Review was a well researched, edited, and thought out series, where as just Meme Review is PewDiePie recording himself looking at his computer for an hour and editing it down.
That's what all his videos seem to be now. When it's not either of these series it's just another type of reaction video, sometimes even You Laugh You Lose, which is literally just an excuse to steal a bunch of people's content. I've seen him do those types of videos and he doesn't even try not to laugh, he's just watching other people's shit. The only time he ever does any okay reaction content is when he does the occasional gaming video again.
I used to like PewDiePie, to be honest. I thought his gaming videos from around the time he got big were fine, and I rooted for him when Youtube was rejecting him, but the content he's doing nowadays is lazy at best or just like... a real dick move at worst. I would be pissed if one of my videos was featured on his channel, because he's watching some meme playlist.
Don't get me wrong, I still want him to be the most subscribed channel. It's important for an independent creator to hold that title, and this does seem like dire times now that T Series is about to beat him. I agree he's kind of the perfect person to be in that spot (at least out of everyone that has even come close). It'd be cool if a wholesome Youtuber that's been on the site for a long time and stayed consistent and trustworthy with his content without getting stale like my favorite, WheezyWaiter, was number one. Just a simple creative vlog channel like that. From the ground up like PewDiePie was. Or even a bigger picture independent creator, like a classic animation channel like Film Cow if Youtube hadn't screwed over the animation community. I'm ranting now but my point is, there are other good Youtubers that would be cool to see in a spot like that although I don't think any of them could have been as interesting to see hold the title than PewDiePie. But yeah, out of everyone that was ever or could have ever been number one, I'm glad PewDiePie was there for so long and this is really sad to see.
But fuck the content he's doing right now. I don't respect it at all.
This is an incredibly depressing video.
0 likesI hope I'm not the only one who genuinely doesn't like pewdiepie. He stands near twitter at the end of a meme life cycle. Any quality joke can be given an accurate death date to match whenever he makes a video about it
0 likesI think that Youtube still has somewhat of a sense of humour though, even to this bitter end. If you search TSeries on youtube's search, the number one result will be Pewdiepie's diss track. (I wonder how long that will last.)

What really makes him stand out is the fact that he is able to make satire, gags, dumb shit, gaming AND serious videos. He does what he wants, but that's ok because of how genuine he appears. Whenever he makes a serious video - he always knows what he is talking about - and if he makes a mistake, he owes up to it. He is truly one to look up to, and I think he will forever be the true face of YouTube.

I’ve never heard of this Indian vevo shit and I never would have if you hadn’t made a video on it. You’re kinda acting like once he gets passed up, he’ll just fade away and we’ll all forget he exists. But no people will still know about him. He’s got name recognition anywhere there’s WiFi
1 likeCounting T-Series as a YouTube channel would be the same as counting YouTube Music as a channel imo. They're not really by a sole person and both are more of a collection of other content, so even if T-Series does pass PewDiePie as the most subscribed non-Google owned channel(which it most likely will if, due to nothing else, the huge amount of exposure Indian content gets in the east), PewDiePie will still hold a title as the most subscribed to individual on YouTube. T-Series is more similar to a company channel than a full and personal YouTube channel, which in my opinion puts them in the same category as YouTube Gaming or YouTube Music which had passed PewDiePie by tens of millions of subscribers years ago.

0 likesHe was never as bad as the Paul Brothers. This may sound weird, but a lot of the hatred Pewds got really was unjustified. People hated him because "anyone" could have done what he did, which is the same reason a lot of people hated Fred. There were also the people who hated him because of that one "if you don't like it, don't watch it" comment. Then there were the people who despised him because he allegedly lied about having never seen 10k in real life. Then there were the people that actually thought he ripped off Tobuscus. Youtube was a very petty place during the early years of his reign. The tipping point for me was the people who actually thought he was going to delete his channel when he reached 50m subscribers. Mainstream media even covered that. He made them look stupid and it's kinda like they've had a grudge against him ever since. My point is that a lot of it was overblown.

Anyways around the end of the day don't remember why but almost everyone got in a neat little line and started dabing one after another now since that was the first time I was in a public school (I was homeschooled before hand) so it really stressed me out and every since then I hated dabing and any other trend like it the end

0 likesI remember back when Felix first came up on top. It's weird to think he won't be there anymore. I was just talking the other day about how interesting it is that he's been so famous that he could do practically whatever he wants and Youtube is basically powerless to stop him. One could argue that he would be better off being a little more tactful with what comes out of his mouth, but what is anybody going to do? Even at #2, he's still right where everyone else on the platform wishes they could be.
0 likesIt's still a damn shame that everything has to be backed by corporate nowadays. Emp's pointed it out himself before; the whole reason Youtube was so cool to begin with was because there was this idea anyone could make content that could be viewed by anyone, anywhere, and not be locked out of success by not having any Hollywood connections. Now it's becoming pretty much cable television, and that kinda sucks. At least there's no more 5 or 10 or 15 minute caps on video length so you don't have to buy the latest blockbuster in 5 parts.
I and many others have thought "Why not make a new video platform if the current YouTube sucks?" Well that simply can't happen for two reasons. One: it would most likely return to the same state as its predecessor once enough corruption and greed set in, and two: YouTube has been around so long that the image of wealth and fame surrounding the site's users and the prospect of achieving success through pandering and marketing has ruined the possibility of enough people wanting to make content solely for the purpose of making it for fun and entertainment. I'm sure there still exist some who enjoy producing videos for the sake of simply doing so, but the chances of them overpowering the unstoppable forces of elite YouTubers with a finite number of children to form their own personal army are almost nonexistent.

0 likesWell on the contrary, if he kept making that family friendly content and being the golden boy of youtube, people would’ve stopped watching him just like any other youtuber, the only reason why pewdiepie is still popular is coz he took a huge risk and at the end it all worked out......
1 likeI remember I used to hate him back when he was super popular. Honestly don't know why, maybe I was just jealous that he was more popular than me, maybe it was because I was let on by other people hating on him.
0 likesNow I can't help but feel sorry for the guy. While I'm still not interested in his content, he like you said in your video represent an era of YouTube that unfortunately now has ended. To be honest I kind of want PewDiePie to remain as the number one most subscribed YouTube channel now, at least show that yeah you can still be famous on YouTube without having to pander to the YouTube algorithm.

0 likesHow in the fuck did Emplemon manage to get a sponsor on this video
This is worthy of a celebration
I feel like the main problem is it stopped being more about "YOU" as in YOUtube and started being more about getting as many people to watch you as possible to profit off it. Youtube used to be a hobby for people and now it's literally their job AND their life.And we can't really go back to that time people just made videos for the sake of it. Now it's either you obey the system and use all sorts of dirty tricks or you stop being relevant.Of course there are channels that give no fucks about obeying the system and i'm sure many people can name plenty of them. The problem is that Youtube and it's "guidelines" push people to obey, not encourage. The situation with demonetization only proves that the people who currently own Youtube couldn't care less about people actually sharing themselves. This website is just not what it used to be in the past, and i don't think it will ever be again.

if you search “t-series” the first thing you get isn’t the channel, but videos on the channel. similar to what happened to leafy. also, ever since t-series has started to catch up to PewDiePie, YouTube has started to slightly support PewDiePie (putting him on trending, etc.)

0 likesBut think about it, you can still watch PewDiePie, it's not like his channel is gonna be terminated.
Rip pewds 😖😖
0 likesI think a big part of Pewdiepie's turnaround is his past success. Have you ever heard of the idea of "F U money"? Basically, once you hit a certain level of success, you stop worrying about being successful and focus on what you want to do. If you already have enough cash to be set for life, you stop worrying about making money. You might go for it if you find it fun to watch your bank account grow, but it has no meaningful impact on your life. The difference between making $20k a year and making $200k is bigger than the difference between $1 million and $2 million, in terms of how your life feels, even though the second number is bigger.
0 likesIf Pewdiepie has millions of subscribers, and has achieved financial independence (which he should by now if he hasn't squandered the money he's made), then why worry about gaming the algorithm for more views? He's already set, he stands to gain pretty much nothing. So why be gimmicky? Why precisely calculate how long to make his videos? It does nothing for him.

0 likesI don't think you should feel too bad about this. You said yourself that sub-count doesn't matter any more, it only projects a vague sense of prominence. In practice, what it's taken to gain more of this arbitrary number than Pewdiepie is a large collective conglomerate of MANY artists work. So not even "a business" has gained a higher number than him, a unique case of MANY different joined artists were required to get more numbers than this single home-grown genuine dude.

@EmpLemon Dollar Shave Club must have known it would be advertised in this manner and I gotta say, you gotta give them props for their bravery. I just like to imagine them watching EmpLemon's channel, seeing the "No company would DARE run a product placement on this channel!" only to be like, "Is that a fucking challenge?!"
0 likesHe will always be number one in our hearts.
0 likesIn terms of actual YouTube videos and channels, Pewds is still top. Music Videos,vevo, and all that is digested in another way on YT.
1 likeI feel like when I watch this whole thing with the subscriber counts I feel like I'm watching a wizened, respected but recently heavily scrutinized Sith Lord fighting his apprentice to the death, the young, promising, but generic and disliked Sith Acolyte, following the rule of two and attempting to kill his master for his title. They've been dueling for ages and we all know the acolyte has to win, but his fast sweep against his master's defenses has worn him out and both are starting to make small progress in the battle, going on for what seems like ages. We're just waiting for one to get tired or let their guard down for too long and get that good old Anakin "chop off his hands and DEW IT!" on one of them. And also side thing, I always felt like Pewdiepie was an unlikely hero, but then I remember he's an unlikely hero for the adpocalypse, and I think we can all kind of see why he succeeded before the adpocalypse. But afterward? The fact he managed to stay afloat in such horrible waters is admirable, even if you don't really like the things he has done in the not-so-recent anymore past. Before the adpocalypse, he was Youtube's Golden Boy, and afterward, he was Youtube's Unlikely Hero, a man who managed to rise above the odds even in the harshest of times. Of course, all of that's over now, and we'll have a big corporation as our new sheriff to bring in all of the money while the passionate creators still will live in a sea of "I don't care, it doesn't bring a profit." But it least we'll still remember the good Youtube, even if memories do nothing but bring in depression and nostalgia. And as the curtains fall, all we can do is cheer and clap for a good performance and the great drama of the True Youtube era. From RayWilliamJohnson, to Leafy, to Keemstar's Rise, Fall, and Rise, to GradeAUnderA, to Pewdiepie, to the adpocalypse, to being able to get a good laugh from a genuine homo sapiens that feels far more personal than anything else, all we can say is The End...

0 likesPewdiepie's videos were guilty pleasure for me a while ago. Since he's changed to commentary and started acting more down to earth, I definitely like his content more. I think the internet has taken an enormous turn in direction over the years, but it's hard to describe.
0 likesEven though everyone in india already is subscribed by Tseries, even then pewdiepie never wanted to be #1 in the first place. I feel like you should bring this up, love your channel dude. And pewdiepie hasnt really changed, he's just gotten more honest.
0 likesI joined youtube around 2007 or 2008, having PewDiePie no longer the number one channel is quite unthinkable for me.
0 likesI remember when he was gaining 1 million subscribers in what seemed like a day
0 likesI've never really watched pewdiepie. And It's funny cuz I probably would've loved watching him. But, if anyone were to surpass him, it should be some great, legendary, respectable, wholesome person, or just another asshole we could hate on like ricegum. But it really makes me sad, to see someone I've never even watched, be taken over by some random company. It's like 5 minute crafts or watch mojo getting top spot. It just really makes you woeful. I'm on the verge of tears it seems. Maybe it's the nostalgia of a long forgotten age full of joy and unrestricted freedom. Maybe it's the fact that such a genuine person who worked his way to the top, is getting knocked over. Whatever the case, youtube will continue dragging it's dying body through the woods, while us starving wolves eat what's left of it, then spit it out saying it isn't what we wanted.

1 likeSubscribing never mattered. To the viewer, it means next to nothing. You already get to like and comment, and in the beginning you already got to see every video on the channel without any form of payment or show of loyalty. It's simply a Youtube business side thing, and it sucks. If Youtube never provided a system to add a list of channels you like in the first place, I don't think a lot of people would care. We could just add them to our bookmarks on our browser, or hell, add the channel to an RSS feed. Both of these options suit a good number of people better than subscribing has (I know it can be argued that on mobile formats it's not quite the same due to the nature of app-based interfaces, and the fact that RSS feeds I feel are an uncommon tool nowadays, but hopefully my point makes enough sense to you).
0 likesAt the end of the day, even if T- Series snatches the number 1 spot it doesn't really change much of what YouTube has already become.
0 likesPewDiePie is still effectively the biggest YouTuber, but he's pretty much completely different from what he used to be, he's already given up his old fame for what he has now. You could say his "reign" has been over for a while, T Series getting to number 1 is something that had to happen with the current state of YouTube,
YouTube is a corporation, T Series is a company, their channel being number 1 is a sign of profit and gain for YouTube in India especially, this is something that was inevitable and expected.
PewDiePie's era was over the moment YouTube cut ties with him, we're already in a new era with T Series.
One thing that you should have talked about was how T series subscription base is being automatically subscribed to them when they make account but YouTube still isn’t doing anything about that.

It's taken me until like a few days ago for your channel to be under my radar. I actually do watch my subscribed Youtubers and it's honestly really frustrating that they are messing with the sub box. I have to use the box scroll mode instead of grid because grid no longer shows everything.
0 likesWhat has confounded me even more is that I'm in tiny minority of people who actually do use the sub box. What's the point in even subscribing to anyone if you don't even look for their new content. Do people really just float through the recommended videos just hoping they find something they like, everytime the use YouTube? Idk man

1 likePewdiepie renewed my interest in Youtube in early 2017 when I noticed he was making videos talking about real topics and wasn't pulling any punches (I recall him saying in one video that "2017 is going to be bad for Pewdiepie," which was right before the whole WSJ thing). I subscribed but eventually I unsubbed because he makes SO many videos. I think that not only is his work ethic impressive but he's got a deceptively wide variety of content. But uploading so frequently it feels like a lot of that content falls into the same categories over and over again, the "try not to laugh challenge" stuff, for instance. I can only watch so much of that stuff before I lose interest.
0 likesThat said, the dude still makes some compelling videos. I loved hearing his opinion on Shane's Jake Paul "documentary" and I have no idea why I love "bitch lasagna" so much, but I do. I can't watch him every day anymore, but I will always appreciate his presence on Youtube. I think he's at the point in his career where being the number 1 Youtuber isn't the most interesting thing about him, and that's probably a good thing.
Don't worry emp, I noticed the tv details in the background. Love the work you put into even these off the cuff vids.

0 likespewds will always be #1 most subbed youtuber in our hearts
0 likesI miss when YouTube was a website where you could upload videos and not some game where you have to follow strict rules to get the biggest high score. Now every channel is the same.
0 likesI started watching Pewdiepie in 2011 (was also big into nerd cubed. Started watching him for his minecraft builds) with amnesia, dead space, and penumbra. My favorite series of his, all time, would be his run of Cry of Fear. I don't know, something about that just really felt super real from him.
0 likesThen in late 2012 I felt like he started to shill, y'know. And I had been getting into game grumps pretty big.
2013 rolled around and I just stopped watchinh him. He felt sterile and corperate to me.
Of course jon and arin "broke up" and I started watching mark more than game grumps after a while. Eventually I stopped watching game grumps all together in 2015.
I basically forgot about pewdiepie until he made that video about quitting youtube altogether. Now adays I catch one or two vids a month. His vids are pretty good now, though.
Still watch nerd cubed. Never lapsed there. I don't like mark's content so much. For the last few years he's given me the same vibes I got from pewds in 2013. And like you said, over the last year I've been watching edited vids of twitch streams. And of course niche content, like tf2 channels, Townsends 18th century cooking, ytpnews (I've been wanting to know how it hit him when his furry waifu's comic ended. Just morbid curiosity)
Anyway. The rant was mostly so you could get a full detailed survey from your viewers. Hopefully you'll be able to read a good bit of different rants so you can get a good survey for your next downward spiral vid.
7:34 I disagree. Swearing can be used in a comedic way that actually comes out funny for a lot of people. I feel like swearing adds a lot more to the content if used properly and being forced to remove some of the comedic value annoys me.
0 likesHell that article when people first found out how much he would make in a year was likely what inspired a lot of people who were on the fence about it to become YouTube creators if we're being honest. At the very least it certainly inspired a lot to try becoming Let's Players. And he never really got any edgier to me, it's just that YouTube in general got a lot more sensitive since the early days of Pewds. Most of us always felt the way we felt, it just wasn't necessary in the past to express it. No one was trying to ruin YouTube back then.

0 likesMakes me wonder if I'll even be watching youtube videos a couple years from now
0 likesWe need someone to save youtube and make it good again and kill all the clickbaiters
0 likesI think what I'll be taking away from all of this is that T-series will become the most subscribed YouTube channel, but Pwediepie will continue to be the most subscribed YouTuber.
0 likeshere is an idea, if genres want to survive then channels MUST band together to increase output to get ahead on things so that we don't die out.
0 likesGoodbye wild west YouTube, I'll never forget you. Guess I never accepted that you left until now.
0 likesI wonder if the cycle will continue in some way, like I mean that by either the corporization of youtube causes it to turn into a TV channel where you choose the show like you said, and some small website that isn't youtube but still similar rises up and becomes the good non-corporate alternative to youtube and then after 10 years at its peak it gets bought by Google and goes down the corporate road and it continues all over again, OR youtube goes full corporate and enough viewers and youtubers just abandon youtube for it to somehow change its ways but both of these are considering anything good comes of this and the second option is probably not gonna happen
0 likesPewdiepie will always be number one in my eyes. T series is just a large company buying subs but pewds actually makes great content.

0 likesThe Paul brothers are supposed to be the "smiling faces" of YT, and they obviously work very closely with YouTube. So why are their videos carbon copies of all the shit that make 90% of this website complete garbage? Clickbait, strung out videos crammed with advertising, watered-down content intended to keep the viewer's attention as long as possible, etc...
Oh boy, CORPORATIONS, CORPORATIONS! Seriously, this website has became a nightmare, I wish that YouTube could encourage more people to make independent content, and not encourage people to make something that isn’t the same type of content, but rather make interesting content that doesn’t have to be the normal “DONT CALL BOSS BABY AT 3 AM”
0 likesI’m sure that creating a YouTube account in India auto subs you to T-Shillings doesn’t hurt either
0 likesThank God It finally happened
0 likesIts a channel from a country that's economy is comprised of phone call scams and bot centres. I'm kind of surprised one of them hasn't surpassed pewdiepie with such a reputation.
0 likesA few years ago, I wondered why anyone still watched poopy guy
0 likesI always suspected this would happen but that it has to be a channel like T-Series is just such an ugly and unsatisfying loss.
0 likesI don't even understand who subscribes to a channel like this, especially considering that so many of their videos don't have that many views. (I've heard about the rumor that they automatically subscribe you to the channel if you're from India but I don't know much more than that so I'm going to assume that they're innocent for now).
I would've honestly preferred someone like the Paul-brothers because they at least somewhat represent what YouTube should be about (minus the corpses etc.) and can actually claim to have a real following that watches them regularly.
I bet at least 90% of the T-Series subscribers on the other hand, forgot about it the next day and just moved on with their life.

0 likes"How is he ahead of onision?"
...well alrighty then.
Pewdiepie makes great content for such a big channel. A lot of the really big channels make utter guff. But Pewdiepie still makes really great content. I still consider him to be the most subscribed Youtuber, when you do not count massive corporations or VEVO music video channels. I hope that he doesn't crash and burn the way that Smosh, Nigahiga, Ray William Johnson, and Fred did. I miss Ryan, and I don't want Pewdiepie to go the same way. I love most of his content. It was amazing when Pewdiepie managed to stay ahead of all these massive corporations in the modern day. I hope that Pewdiepie never changes, and that the Youtube scene doesn't change too much, being someone who is considering the thought of going into Youtube myself.

I really consider pewdiepie to still be number one just from the fact that T-Series isnt a single person nor really a youtuber centered company, they simply just uploading their music video here now rather than somewhere else. Its like a guy selling laptops out of his garage suddenly being put out of business by Apple, its a completely different ball park. T series is a channel and a company and pewdiepie is a youtuber

0 likesIt's understandable that a content creator may choose to augment their income with sponsors and such. I don't like it, but I think content creators deserve to make a livable income, so I can swallow an occasional dollar shave club ad at the end of a video. But looking at the top subscribed channels being either direct corporations, like Vevo and T series, or puppets like JP who spend most of their time advertising themselves and other companies' products makes me sick. It only signals to other content creators that if you don't start playing ball with big boy companies, you'll never make it, which is antithetical to what I believe YouTube popularity should be. A YouTuber should be popular based sheerly on the quality and charisma of their content, with advertisements as a side thing to make a little money on the side.

0 likesI realized a long time ago that Youtube lost what made me love the site to begin with. It was about the people and making content to entertain, not to become big. There were always channels a lot more popular than others of course, perhaps with videos that were more fine-tuned, but take that all away and they were still average people, like you and I. Now it feels like a battle between freelance creators and corporate channels for who can profit more off of the site (and with the winning team being obvious).
2 likesIt sucks because it's as if Youtube has forgotten where they came from.
The thing is, he’s always been behind YouTube music. So TSeries passing him is not a huge deal. Like you said, he’ll still be the most subscribed YouTuber, meaning the most subscribed single person. Other than those little quirks, I thought this was a really well thought out video. Please keep doing what you’re doing!
1 likeBtw keep it up, EmpLemon. Although I was pissed to see you leave the YTP industry, people change, and everything changes; it’s inevitable.

Well, I for one am glad I was there to experience early Youtube when it still was about broadcasting yourself (more so than now anyway). Sure, there were always the equivalents of Jake Pauls and Watchmojos etc, but I loved the early days when everyone was still experimenting and figuring shit out, like when AVGN first came around and a bit later when Jontron refined the format further etc.
0 likesIn a sense, I see a lot of parallels to mixed martial arts: when MMA first came to the US, it was literally like in fighting games: you had the karateka, the kung fu guy, the sumo wrestler, the judoka, the kickboxer, the jiu-jitsu guy, the ninjutsu guy etc, and the only rules were "no biting, no eye-gouging, no groin shots." Hell, for a few UFC events, even groin shots were allowed.
Now the MMA formula has been perfected (generally a mix of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, muay thai, and wrestling), an MMA "meta," if you will, and the list of rules is probably longer than my arm at this point.
It seems whenever something new comes along, it starts off with this wildly experimental period when everything feels fresh, new, and exciting, but in about a decade, people have discovered most of the tricks of the trade, they've discovered what works and what doesn't, and while it's a form of evolution and improvement, a part of me will always miss the old days when everything was about experimentation and discovery.
Anyway, I've been toying with the idea of maybe starting a channel on YT or wherever at some point, upload whatever I feel like, swear as much as I like, and never even try to get ads on the videos, find sponsors or anything, but just do it for the fun of it simply as a call-back to the old days, a tribute to how my favorite channels started out. Don't know when or even if I'll do it, and if I do, I doubt I'll even surpass 100 subs, but that's irrelevant. I just want to make something that I would like to see more of rather than T-Series or the Paul brothers.
I just wish there was some platform out there more like early YT which, while far from perfect, was at least not trying to be like an online version of corporate TV aka 2018 YT.
I clearly remember hating pewdiepie. And now I love his videos, he's certainly bigger than YouTube and I hope he stays that way

Well there’s a difference between a YouTuber and a channel. Since T-Series is a corporation, it doesn’t really count, does it?
0 likesTo be honest, I was around on youtube, not on this account, but as a non-account user in 2006 onwards. I wish that I could go back to 2009 youtube, or the lets play era, or hell even the 2016/filthyfrank/leafy era, because this new era sucks, I absolutely detest it. It's a shame how much this site has deteriorated in such a relatively short amount of time. That being said, I applaud you, Emplemon, for trying your best to show those corporate schmucks that they need to care more about their website, and reminding us of youtube's history. I salute thee and will stick with you until the day this ship called Youtube sinks into the depths of cyberspace.

0 likes"The Let's Play genre was born and died with Pewdiepie"Jesus christ emp you're really showing your age (or lack thereof). LPs have been a thing since like 2007 (but you could argue the biggest LP channels blew up in popularity around 2011/12).EDIT: well I'm a fucking idiot for not watching all the way through first, good job for baiting me hard.
The sub box truely doesn't matter. I've had to re-subscribe to certain channels over 4 times and and I'm sure more to come.
0 likesApart from a select few, youtubers are cancer. Even channels like H3H3 that used to be good are now getting involved in petty, inconsequential drama and politics. No one wants to watch that shit. There will never be a channel like Pewds at the #1 spot, and that's sad. Although it probably doesn't matter anymore. rip this site.

Well we've seen a Revival of the old school YouTube gaming sphere, we've also seen sort of a development in the PewDiePie cycle resulting in people like fitz or raccoon eggs or swaggersouls. though I would argue in large part these are more or less a result of the development reaching a sort of peak of quality edited funny moments content like sovietwomble and Smii7y (the latter of which associated even now with Fitz, Swagger, Kryoz, etc).
0 likesI can't tell if the dollar shave club ad was satire or not. But I really hope it was. God bless 😇
0 likesSoooooooo what do we do now? I hate this. The reason i watched youtube instead of TV was because there was this freedom, this ability to relate to the creator. A normal guy becoming famous even tough he is not the brightest or most handsome, is being replaced by cardboard cutouts, mass produced hollywood pricks.
0 likes10:51 Emp hittin' me up with that Mega Man 7 music...

0 likesThe only way we can stop this from happening is by leaving the site
What we need to do is create a new website that is very similar to YouTube from 2006, but with its hosts and its creators being Youtubers themselves. Maybe we could use the help of huge content creators, like Mr. Beast, Ninja, and many more

0 likesThe end of pewdiepie doesn’t mean the end of independent channels. It just means one person isnt going to be on top. In the end Pewdiepie is still going to get 100,000s of thousands of dollars per week for his work, and he’ll still be the top indie channel. The competence we get out of this though really shows how much we hate when someone else, whether it’s a channel of Indian pop music or not for a country whose people are still trying to get out of scammer jobs and be actual internet users, beats us flat. They’re supposed to be the Aryan race, after all.

0 likesMy main issue with T Series is that it's a corporate entity that is competing with Pewds. If it was some independent creator like Jack Septic Eye or Markiplier, I wouldn't mind it at all because they made their name through YouTube and not some outside force. Once T Series overtakes Pewds is when YouTube (in my eyes) will no longer care about the independent users of their site. The people who produce the videos that users come to this site for will be shunned for corporations like Buzzfeed, NBC, Fox, etc., and the whole problem with YouTube will become greater.

1 likeThe most annoying fact is that T series gets an atrociously feeble amount of views for its sub count. The people don't care about the channel. They just sub and leave. There are some(in fact, a lot) shitforbrain subcontinentals out there who want to display a vague sense of Indianness by making an Indian channel become the most subbed channel. The content doesn't matter, they sub T series and don't watch it. They want others to see the channel has the most subs. That's what matters to them.
