Why do most people hate Pewdiepie?
AnimeFanFTW
I have a question for all of you.
So Youtube, right?. It's a fantastic place to watch videos and make you laugh. Many people have different favorite youtubers (Mine is Rooster Teeth), but if there is always one Youtuber that has caused so much flame wars, it's Pewdiepie.
With 36.5 million subscribers (and rising quickly), there is no doubt that he is the most influential person on the internet, to date. But why do alot of people hate him?
I mean, sure, his humour is vulgar and childish, and some of his fanbase is beyond annoying, but most people ignore the good he does.
First, he gives indie games a chance in the spotlight. For example, On the day Pewdiepie played Flappy Bird (remember that game? xD), and posted the video, Flappy Bird's popularity skyrocketed.
But by far the best thing he's done is the charity work he's done.
Pewdiepie has had 2 charity's, his "Save the Children" and the "Water Campaign" charity.
In the Save the Children charity, to celebrate the fact he achieved 25 million subs, he set the charity up so that children can get access to school equipment, to food and blankets. According to his IndieGoGo kickstarter, he had helped 125 million children. At the end of the charity, he had $324,828.
In the Water Campaign, to celebrate the fact he got 10 million subs, he set up a charity to send clean water to towns who had no access to it. After the charity ended, he had $446,462.
So yeah.
Whenever I hear people raging at Pewdiepie, it annoys me that none of them do the research to see just how much he does for Youtube and even for people around the world.
And heck, personally, I enjoy watching his channel.

I don't think pewdiepie is a bad person, i just don't like the content he produces very much. I used to think he was great, but now i don't think he's funny. Then again, I like leafy's videos, so i might not be such a good person.

lolol this thread, people comparing pewdiepie to hitler...
1
I used to like him back in 2014 or 2015. Nowadays his behavior is weird.

Meh
Don't like his videos, personally, but I have nothing against him.

So don't take rape jokes that seriously. Pewdiepie has indeed apologised. And if you still hate him, let me question you about this:
Why do YOU not hate Taylor Swift? She makes songs about 'love' all the time! But we don't judge her by that. We judge her by how she has helped our community, by setting up charities, raising funds, and helping children.
Dont take rape jokes seriously? My school is a big hit for rape victims, so hell yes I will take it seriously(ftr Im not one), and so will the victims. Yes, he apologizes, but yes, he still makes one reference to rape in at the minimum every video; Actually, a ton of people hate Taylor Swift for that reason. I dont know where youve been since 2012.
Ouch, am personally sorry to hear that bud.
You dont need to say sorry, its not your fault

Pewdiepie is ok, I mean I don't watch his videos as I find his jokes repetetive and usually inappropriate for kids, which is his fanbase. But he is better than some youtubers and does charity work so I guess he's ok as a person but I don't like his videos.
1
as a person i quite like him. his jokes can sometimes be a bit over the top, repetitive, childish or inappropriate, however i myself don't get offended very easiliy, and i know not to take jokes seriously, so i am totally fine with his humor. the fact that he has charities is great, too. in fact i often enjoy his videos, though i have to say his humor has declined after time. he swears a lot too, though i don't care cause i swear a lot too and i don't even think about it. it's mostly just the the loud majority of his fans, those idolizing, immature pre-teens, that really annoy me. the state of the comment section in his videos has certainly improved after that period where he turned off the comments though.
1
In my view he's just an idiot, I never watch a full video of his because in the first few minutes I've already had enough listening to him. It's good that he does charity and stuff, but he is by far not the best youtuber.
Plus he is just too immature and some of his videos are sick(not in the good term)

He... changed, over the years. He's not like before, and there is a significant difference in his old videos and now. IMO he's fine because I curse a lot too, but I somehow feel he changed. His commentary doesn't feel natural no more.
1
I find his videos to be very annoying and unfunny. I heard he's a chill dude in real life, but that doesn't make his videos suck any less. His fanbase generally tends to be annoying as well, granted that's not really all his fault.
1
I liked him back in the day but he's abit ehh for my entertainment nowdays, But long live pewdiepie even though he isnt my main source of entertainment anymore
1
Not my type of YouTuber, as I prefer chill and relaxing commentary.
1
As many have said many times throughout history about many people, "I don't hate the guy, I just hate his fans"
1
Just because he does charity doesn't make him a good person all of a sudden. A lot of rich people use them as a tax right off, for their benefit, while making them look good.
Hitler even did charity work, so you can't use that to make a bad person look good.
Anyways, I dislike him because he's annoying, he just makes loud noises, and screams, and cusses loudly for cheap views by children. I guess if I haven't hit puberty years ago, and never matured, and still thought the word "poop" was funny, then maybe I would like him more.

Wow, I can't believe you made such a comparison. I don't even know how to respond to that. ._.
1
Killer made an amazing point there. I personally think he is just irritating. I can get through about 5 minutes of his content, then I feel like I have lost too many brain cells to continue.
1
Yeah, but comparing him to Hitler is a little too far.
1
I didn't say "Pewdiepie is like Hitler". I said even Hitler did charity work, but yet he's not a good person, so why does charity work pewdiepie does make him good?
1
Sorry, but I took it as you comparing Hitler to Pewds. I don't like Pewdiepie myself, as I prefer calmer commentary such as chuggaaconroy. He screams WAY too much.

Entriquit_Long story-short.
He is like 30 and he acts like he is 12 to win over little children. Either pedophile or just can't grow up.
Basically, anyone entertaining children is a pedophile?
You mean Mario was after my booty this whole time!?

He cusses to much...like every 5 seconds
1
if you think peewdiepie cusses too much, go watch a leafyishere video. every video has about 1 f-word per sentence
1
Any time anyone becomes famous and gains a fan-base, they also gain haters. I'm sort of on the middle ground on this one. I don't usually watch his stuff since the screaming isn't really my thing... I generally prefer content creators who present a more even energy level. I've seen him do a bunch of charity stuff too, but that doesn't always speak true of a person's true level of generosity. Not my thing, but a lot of people like him and his posts, so whatever.
1
He is good. all that Charities and stuff. But I don't like watching his videos.
Main Reason:
He's too noisy and chatty for me

Who is Pewdiepie?

Sarcastic comment is sarcastic.
1
Just because he is the single most popular youtuber ever doesnt mean that someone hasnt heard of him. /s
1
I know, I'm just making a bad joke. xD
1
Yes, because Googling it is just too darn mainstream.
Some people..
Anyways, I like his newer videos. I definitely did not like him and his earlier channel (maybe like 2013-2014?).
Also, the fan base. Bleh. Reminiscent of TobyGames, and TobyGames is going down a 90 degree cliff with no parachute.
As for Pewdiepie, I don't watch him too much anymore. I really just watch people like Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and a few others.
Heck, I really don't go on Youtube for anything other than BF4 videos anymore..

I don't hate people, I could never hate people. It's just the fact that people find the screaming interesting.
Everyone is free to like whatever they like, but the fanbase the guy has is just...I don't even know where to begin.

It doesn't matter how kind of a person he is. It doesn't matter how much he's given to help others. None of that matters. Only the quality of his content, which I find to be low.
It's not enjoyable to watch.

because his videos are full of sexual toilet and discriminatory humour
his fanbase are like the most annoying people on earth

I used to like him, but his vulgar state on his videos is too much so I had to stop there. I'm glad his influence to his fanbase can help and raise many charities, kudos to him!
1
Well, many people will disagree with all the haters. I'd say most people like him (who know him). Why else would he be the most popular on Youtube? I have seen a few of his videos and they were all funny
1
I think the videos are obnoxious and the name really irritates me.

illdeletethisAnimeFanFTWWith 36.5 million subscribers (and rising quickly), there is no doubt that he is the most influential person on the internet, to date
even that level of popularity doesn"t automatically make him influential
influential means you have an influence on people that changes their actions, not that you give them something they already like to consume and would from someone else if you didn"t do it
pewdiepie is just the most popular of a huge number of people uploading gameplay with comments. he wasn"t the first, and if he weren"t there lots of others would still be doing pretty much the same anyways, just with less viewers each, which the viewers pewdiepie has now would be watching as well, but spread out on those other channels
you could even say pewdiepie is, relative to his audience size, the least influential youtuber out there
Mind blown. xD
1
I think mostly because he's too popular & people feel as if they shouldn't be mainstream.
1
i have not watched anything of his...
1
Overall, the charities are the only good things about him. Even then, he didn't actually donate too much of his personal money. Almost all of it he just indirectly raised his fan's money by advertizing on his videos, which any popular youtuber could do.

I used to watch him all the time, but not anymore, he just... stopped being funny, I guess (imo)
I agree with everything AnimeFan said also x3

This pretty much sums up my reason why I don't like PewDiePie.
1
All that blog proved was that his jokes are vulgar (which we already knew), some of his fans are stalker-material, and that this guy didn't do his research about his charities.
1
I'm not going to attempt to argue anymore, but donating to charities ≠ being a good person.
1
Pewdiepie is a horrible youtuber with horrible content. He screams into the camera, and his fanbase is full of half-assed 10 year olds who see him as an idol for unknown reasons.
1
Amnesia days were good. And then he started being controversial again.playing rubbish like goat/grass sim, and trying too hard to be funny, and acting really weird, including promoting MLG parodies and trying to fit in with the latest trends. It's like a male facebook girl was introduced to youtube.
