PewDiePie is making 4 million a year from his awful Let's Plays

I don't he makes this much money but good for him for actually managing to keep his success for this long and making mock videos about the people that constantly shit on him for doing his work.

I bet every single PewDiePie fan is a 12 year old boy named Cody, wears a Family Guy shirt with urban camo shorts and says monster is the best energy drink out there.
Wow, bravo...

He's toned down and matured much. I can tell you haven't exactly checked and I'm betting quite a lot on that you're getting your information from Retsuprae.

His game choices have expanded in the past couple of years and he tries to avoid scary games because he doesn't like being associated with only that.

He's not though?
I don't remember if I ever clicked an ad on Youtube. I don't understand how do they even earn their money, who clicks ads ?

27 million, apparently.
His videos might be terrible, but you have to give him credit for making a sum like that.
He found a gap in the YouTube scene, took it and rode it to the top. I would quite happily do the same for that amount of money.
I wonder if people are aware that this is mostly ad/partner money and not money that he's somehow sucking out of the bodies of twelve-year-olds like the tear extractor in Abe's Exoddus.
ITT people with views less than 1000

When did this happen. Or, rather, when did this NOT happen?
I hate pewdiepie as much as the next guy but making bullshit up helps no-one. If there is one redeeming quality it's that we haven't heard horror stories of him fucking other people up in the process. The guy does seen to actually care about the fans but I wish he could at least intervene in shit at times since the bro army spirals out of control too easily/quickly.

You don't only get money when people click the ads. Clickthrough rate does affect your CPM, but it's not either they click on it and you get money or they don't and you get nothing.

This right here is some of the scummiest shit I've heard.
"haha what are opinions everything except what i like is clearly inferior and you have to be a retard to like it"
It's literally what you're saying, and there's no denying that.
It's pretty fucking ironic that people like you who seem to claim some sort of "mature highground" are pretty goddamn immature yourself in delivering your point.
Good fucking job.

what are you
twelve?
I can't watch his videos, but he does seem like a good guy. Good for him!
That said I still fucking hate his cultist fans.
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;45147091]No he fucking isn't.
He's not exactly happy about the news buzzing about unconfirmed numbers either (most of it being estimates from sites like Socialblades). Especially when none of these fucking newssites bring up the fact that he raised over a million dollars in charity.
He doesn't earn anywhere near those amounts. He might have if a third party network + adblock/adskips hadn't existed and it was all solely wired to him with constant good and amazing ads to generate tons of good revenue. I'm not saying he doesn't earn money, he earns enough to live off of it, and then some, but these fucking numbers are ridiculous.
He's told me himself out of all his earnings he only really takes out 4000 dollars for his own use, the rest he saves away, uses to get new equipment, titles and so forth to keep his channel going, or donates to charities.
Fuck this sensationalist bullshit.[/QUOTE]
On the bright side, he must feel pretty great about how much cash and attention he's raised for charity, he seems like a pretty down to earth guy
[QUOTE=SexualShark;45147237]what are you

No, I'm defending a friend and work partner, as I would any other. It pisses me off when people are so fucking ignorant of a situation.
[QUOTE=Ericson666;45147248]On the bright side, he must feel pretty great about how much cash and attention he's raised for charity, he seems like a pretty down to earth guy[/QUOTE]
That he does, and he plans to do it more given how well it's worked.
While most of his videos aren't in my interest, I have to admit that the ones he has in multiplayer or co-op can be sometimes entertaining for me.
Besides that, I doubt he's getting as much money as they claim he is though, especially given how unhappy the writer of the article seems.

You get more from actually having ads get clicked. But you don't need people to click on ads to get revenue.
IIRC, an unskip-able ad gets people the most money because it's a full 15 seconds of advertising compared to the 5 seconds of skip-able ads (Unless you watch the full thing, then that depends on the ad length). And you also get revenue from including the little pop-up square that you can close 5 seconds into the video.

You're still taking this way too seriously.
I think he's an annoying shit, you don't and that's fine.

not really though. for example in that alpaca video of his which is pretty recent, he kept screaming "oh god his nipples are so huge" "yess, devour them with your big vagina thing!".
I genuinely don't understand the hatred for Pewdiepie. His videos are pretty awful but he seems like an alright dude outside of the act.
Can't fault someone for making a lot of money
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;45147298]I wouldn't bother if this was about someone like VSauce or other personality whom I don't know myself.[/QUOTE]
That's pretty cool you actually work with him, I didn't expect to see a legit channel with hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of views. Good work, man, and respect for defending your friend.
I don't watch his stuff, but hell, can't argue with his character and decency as a person with his charity work and fan engagement.

I never said he stopped, I said he toned down. Any habit is hard to kick, and given how deeply rooted basic expressions can be I'm cutting him slack on that. As such, there are exceptions to every rule.
Also, he wasn't really yelling. I really have no idea what he does with the sound, I think he might just be a bit too close to the microphone. Because it clips, yeah, but he isn't screaming. You do get that feeling though because of the clipping.
Besides, it's the rawer shit he stopped doing, like the "rape-jokes" people love to repeatedly bring up.
also you don't have to watch retsupurae to think something about someone, retsupurae isn't some evil organization out to deface pewdiepie

Fighting fire with fire, yadda yadda - yeah, it can, but to be honest some anger is justified.

A lot of shit spawned from that video and a very out-of-context comment as well. I was being facetious though, I admit.
