[QUOTE=Take yo;41432273]convincing shitty people donate to charity sounds like a good idea[/QUOTE]
now if only we could convince billionaires to drop a penny. people who actually can donate a fraction (hundred thousand) to a bunch of charities and still... not starve to death and use their ferraris.
[QUOTE=Raptors!;41432262]Which doesn't mean he is a bad guy, does it?[/QUOTE]
not at all, his REAL self is fine, but the humor does make his persona kinda shitty, even if it does attract money. So the donating is obviously extremely good.
I am suspecting the 12 yr olds to steal their dads or moms credit card and donate all the money to the charity which is good but bad for the kids.
[QUOTE=SweFox*;41432255]Still a lie saying it's easy work when you upload several videos per day. It's not easy work, it takes time. Time he puts for his fans, he absolutely deserve his money.[/QUOTE]
How is it not easy work? The most you could say is that he puts time into it...that's it. It's finding a videogame and just playing it for several hours while you talk. The guy doesn't do post commentary since he does facecam with his videos and you should go and take a look at his channel.
He does straight playthroughs and just playing a game isn't hard work.
[QUOTE=Dead Madman;41432195]If Gabe did this you'd all suck up to him and instantly donate your entire bank account, but no, because it's someone who appeals to a younger audience and most of the time makes jokes that don't fit your ~~superior range of comedy~~ you find any way possible to hate him
Give him a fucking break! He's using his popularity for charity, can't you see he's trying to help people?[/QUOTE]
1.But gabe isn't that kind of person and considering he's rich he still appears in interviews and most images with his beard and misshaped hair while other CEO's aren't like that, heck he even did something crazy like wearing one of those terrible horse masks for his fans. Now to pdp I don't exactly have an envy on him but something like this just topped the glass off.
2.A ton of people donate to charities everyday there might even be poor people that want to help others with all they have left and we don't even know how much he is going to donate anyway.
[QUOTE=Loriborn;41432271]Regardless of his personal attitudes and behaviors, what he's doing here is a good thing, no matter which way you slice it.[/QUOTE]
I've never said it wasn't. In fact I even said in the post you quoted it's a pretty good use of his fans unquestioning loyalty. Like, he actually realised it could raise a lot of money because of them.
I wouldn't say it's hard work but let's face it most of us would do it if we were in his position.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;41432261]There is much more to LPs than that. Editing is very time consuming, if nothing else.[/QUOTE]
You do realize that mostly all he does is straight playthroughs, right? It's lining up the audio and video tracks and rendering it.
I'm gonna go shit in a bowl of clean water.
But the king of donations will all ways be Cr1tiKal, guy doesn't have nearly as many subscribers, yet, since day one he has given all his revenue to charity, even with a twitter posting every months donation.

Maybe you should go and check his videos yourself. He doesn't record while talking and instantly uploads to youtube.
OP is an idiot. he is not asking for "help" at all
[QUOTE=J!NX;41432287]but the humor does make his persona kinda shitty[/QUOTE]
His humor is shitty on purpose to make money, and in this case it's for a good cause. He pretends to have the humor of a 12 year old, makes content some (lots of) people find funny, he makes money, donates it to charity, and in reality he knows the quality of his content, and the type of humor he uses, but at the end of the day, the ends justify the means.
A good number of people get entertainment, he makes money, and charities make money. You don't like it, don't watch him; simple. Everybody wins.
[QUOTE=J!NX;41432198]why did he add the massive filter RAPE[/QUOTE]
It's not filter-raped. It is, however, terrible overexposed.
[QUOTE=Lukeo;41432318]I wouldn't say it's hard work but let's face it most of us would do it if we were in his position.[/QUOTE]
It's straight up playing video games and talking over it, while making money. It's literally risk free and some of the lowest budget to revenue ventures.
[QUOTE=SweFox*;41432064]since you obviously don't know that running a youtube channel aren't all that easy.[/QUOTE]
Having a YouTube channel is piss-easy. Making good content isn't.
[QUOTE=SweFox*;41432017]Why should he use his own money?[/QUOTE]
Isn't this how donating works? Why should someone else use his own money? Why should children who probably dont have much donate rather than the guy who made millions or idk how much by playing games?
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;41432326]OP is an idiot. he is not asking for "help" at all[/QUOTE]
Really? Now that just gives me a reason to hate him even more.
[QUOTE=Derp Y. Mail;41432352]Having a YouTube channel is piss-easy. Making good content isn't.[/QUOTE]
I'm glad you cleared that up for me.

I can rightfully assume that a person does their commentary while playing a game if it's a straight up playthrough. You do know that his schtick is talking to objects and freaking out over everything while playing games right? It doesn't need and doesn't have post editing commentary since it's not a fucking montage.

Donation and charity are not the same thing?

Does it really matter where the money comes from?
The answer is no. But any reason to hate this guy is great I guess.
There's an appeal to PewDiePie's videos that angers people who don't understand it/lack that quality about themselves

there's always gonna be one of those guys on YT that make easy money, you can't do anything to stop it but atleast we got one that isn't completely selfish
Meh, PewDie may be a cunthole, but at least he's doing some good.
I'm sure a lot of people in this thread are living comfortably and have financial stability but don't donate to charity. Why not donate that money you were going to spend in the Steam sale to charity?
Let's face it we're hardly philanthropists ourvelves.

If you have the ability to make a difference by donating to it on your own, that's fine. It's great to spread awareness on things, but you shouldn't have to push it onto your supporters. Just say you donated on a video or show your receipts from it. Critikal does that with the money he makes and that's fine.

You act like any other Let's Players put much more effort into their videos. VideoGameDunkey, Game Grumps, Cr1tikal, Continue!, TBFP, they all put in the same amount of effort relatively; none of them are spending weeks on a single video.
If you're doing LP's, you're likely putting in very little effort into making those videos, and that doesn't affect the quality of the content produced. Someone can spend 5 minutes working on a video and it would be hilarious as fuck, versus someone who spends weeks on a mediocre episode. Even then humor is subjective, and even then, a large number of people obviously find PDP's humor funny, even if I personally don't.

I'm not doing it at all. I'm saying that the guys not a fucking professional and shouldn't be treated as if he puts work into his videos, since SweFox claimed he did.

He's not pushing anything on anyone. He's just asking them to donate.
