Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he'd ever consider it?

The last thing we need is more nazi apologists, let alone loud nazi apologists with a loud fanbase

Context?

He said the N word once when he got mad in a video game, and another time made an edgy joke. In both cases he apologized shortly after, and while I don't even like Pewdiepie it's a stretch to call him a nazi/nazi apologist...

He certainly was influenced by a certain political scene about seven years ago, parroting Ben Shapiro at a few occasions and featuring a lot of anti-sjw humour in his videos.

But that was seven years ago and he clearly majorly changed his views on his platform after the Christchurch shootings.
