Help me here guys this post feels halfway bannable to me.
If you're talking about the "Don't care, don't post" rule, I'm pretty sure that only applies to the drama section.

hey
what about the apology would make it seem that he doesn't care and realize his mistake?

because I don't believe a loving word of it tbh but i'll accept it

it's not even about pdp. everyone makes fun of rape once or twice in their life. it's people who try to goddamn justify it.

I could think of so many other YouTubers who deserve it more than him, but oh well.
Pewdiepie is a phony guy and can never act like himself, I really dislike that.

i'm not justifying his jokes, they were pretty thoughtless, i'm saying he sincerely apologized and tried to move on.

wow...

they're both loving stuff, I have dishonored countless of my family's generations for letting this atrocity happen

Like my channel.
It's 10/10 pro.

Since you guys are still arguing... Have my wall of text that nobody gave any thought to the first go 'round.

Ok, so, lemme break this down for y'all. Everyone's saying they don't deserve so many views/subscribers. And maybe that's true. As a marketing researcher, I'd like to tell you how it all works:

- User creates channel, decides how often/what he/she will be uploading.
- Starts uploading videos.
- Gains a few subscribers.

Before I go any further, let me just state that it is completely up to the viewer whether or not he/she wants to subscribe. Hopefully that's obvious. Continuing...

- Subscribers tell friends of a channel that uploads regularly, is relatable, and somewhat funny.
- Friends view and subscribe.
- Videos get featured on the home page after a while. Many, many users start off here, so if they like games, there's a good chance they'll click the video.
- After a while, uploader feels he can do better and expand. He creates social media pages and points his viewers to them from his video descriptions. These pages he also updates regularly. I'd like to point out that there is nothing wrong with this.
- Community grows even larger as a result.
- Soon, uploader becomes YouTube partner, gaining special YouTube privileges.
- Uploader has, by now, worked his/her way close to the top of suggested channels in the videogames section.
- Eventually, uploader gets a trend going (in this case, "Bros"), causing people to relate more with the uploader and spread his/her name to the furthest reaches of the Internet.
- Other channels have taken notice by now and discussed the uploader's channel. Whether this be good or bad publicity, the old saying sticks; in this case, there really is no bad publicity. Every visit to uploader's channel is another possible viewer/subscriber.

Eventually, the uploader has the most subscribers. But guess what?

Most of it wasn't influenced by the uploader. He/she gets the ball rolling and provides the content. But it's the viewers that do the viewing and subscribing. And if it just so happens that people like what they see, they'll subscribe. Kudos to the uploader for being one of the chosen few who is successful. I highly doubt all these YouTube "celebrities" sit around, saying, "How can I get more subscribers?" No; instead, they upload either (A. What people are asking for, or (B. The same content they've always uploaded. Sure, they may try to get a few more views by going a different route, but that's not their main motive. YouTubers upload videos because of demand for said videos and because they enjoy making videos.

To sum it all up; people overestimate how much a person's success on YouTube has to do with their own efforts. Sure, you have to put some effort in to get to that place, but it doesn't always require as much effort on the uploader's end as haters think it should. If there is demand, there will always be a product to back it up, unless it is simply impossible to do so.

Please keep in mind that what I'm saying doesn't apply to all YouTubers, aka the ones who provide false thumbnails, descriptions, titles, and tags to get views. Those are the tryhards, the ones who need to show some Internet etiquette.

If you read all of this, good job. I hope you are a bit more knowledgeable.

well i have no reason to live on this earth

He did it. He made the video.

i actually "brofisted" my computer screen at the end because it was the supernova brofist and who can deny that

the answer is nobody

I am also expecting this thread to die so i will lock it if any stuff starts

the answer is people who arent braindead morons who want to ride the balls of anybody who "cares" about them and throws a stupid gimmick in there(brofist or whatever the forget that is) to top it all off.


jesus christ its a joke you moron

All the popular youtubes suck.
Youtube is cancer.
This is why we can't have nice things.
etc. etc.
