PewDiePie after he reached 100 million.

There's no effort anymore in his content, just turn on the camera and record whatever is in his mind at the moment.

I stopped watching after he aided in the platforming of Ben Shapiro and said the glass ceiling didn't exist. That and the n word scandal.

He never struck me as someone who put any real effort into his videos. It was mostly just him just yelling about stuff.

I never understood his market appeal.

Seems to be the winning approach to videos, sadly

Eh, it's not like his videos were ever particularly effort-heavy. He's always just made what he felt like making, and I respect that even though I don't like his content anymore either.

He never gave up his integrity and now he's just doing what he loves and living life, while presumably also providing a great life for his daughter. So when he pops up on my feed I just feel happy for him, and I scroll on by.

Basically a family vlogger. We still watch it as it's cool to see Japan. Also he's a "familiar face" type of guy.

Wait, he lives in Japan now?
