Hasn't this been known for a while now?
I wish I could earn $7 million a year just by screaming into a microphone
-snip- I'm not saying [i]I[/i] want him dead but considering how all you hear on Facepunch that he's a complete douchebag sure makes it sound like people hate him.
[QUOTE=pentium;48141140]or has a general idea where they could hide his body so that nobody will ever find him.[/QUOTE] that's kinda fucked up dude
Is this legit? That sounds like way too much.
[QUOTE=pentium;48141140]It doesn't matter how much he makes if half the internet either wants to give his [highlight]face[/highlight] a good solid [highlight]punch[/highlight], or has a general idea where they could hide his body so that nobody will ever find him.[/QUOTE] Is this even necessary? Yeah the dude might be annoying on YT but saying this kinda stuff is actually sorta messed up.
[QUOTE=MisterSjeiks;48141201]Is this legit? That sounds like way too much.[/QUOTE] i'm assuming so, with youtube monetization, 1400 views=$1, or something like that (it could have changed last I checked, though). Considering how many views he gets and how frequently he uploads, it should be no shock he makes this much money.
[QUOTE=MisterSjeiks;48141201]Is this legit? That sounds like way too much.[/QUOTE] Different Ads pay different rates. The higher up companies see Pewdiepie as a major marketing tool for ad placements on his videos and as such will pay youtube (And Pewdiepie gets a good cut of this) a large amount of money to play their ads over competitors. 1 million views on any video is enough to pay for decent living expenses for a month from what I heard before.
For all the cash he makes, he's at least nice enough to give a fair chunk to charity. I mean sure I don't like his style of LPing or his videos, but that's a different matter entirely.
I respect his hustle.
He also has good production quality. Good audio Decent greenscreen Makes his own thumbnails and has decent understanding of photoshop Active commentary through every video (It's difficult to come up with something to say 24/7) Whether you like him or not, he is, in every sense, an entertainer.

Good for him.

Where the fuck did I specifically say I wanted to kill him or want him dead? I'm going from gathered opinions on the guy from here on FP, reddit and 4chan which in the majority put him as a douchebag with a screechy voice and otherwise unlikeable. I've never watched any of his videos to ever confirm this. Is my interpretation wrong and he's just an LP'er who is overall successful with no real problems?

Most of us here don't like his videos, but we don't hate him as a person. In fact, he's donated quite a bit to charity.

He's smart enough to make money off of playing games to a child/teen demographic. It's not for me but at least he's making money

My bad.
Smart guy, I wish I'd have thought of that.
Good on him.
Can't wait for 5-10 years from now for people to have nostalgia for PewDiePie

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;48141597]Can't wait for 5-10 years from now for people to have nostalgia for PewDiePie[/QUOTE] I got some left on the back of my brain. I miss when he did happy wheels regularly
[QUOTE=MisterSjeiks;48141201]Is this legit? That sounds like way too much.[/QUOTE] Really? he uploads a video twice a day, they get an average of 3 million viewers each. Thats like [B]2 billion views[/B] per year. Most people make somewhere between 0.1 to 0.4 cents per view, so 0.3 cents per view (at 2 billion a year) would end him up at 6 million dollars, which is surprisingly close to news post estimate.
[QUOTE=Makzu;48141770]I got some left on the back of my brain. I miss when he did happy wheels regularly[/QUOTE] I was going to add 'classic' PewDiePie to my post, but I don't even know what that means

So odds are that he does make the estimated $7m after he gets a cut from them as well.

Less interested to know how much he makes, and more interested in how much he puts into charities.
I find it very interesting how FP manages to produce mountains of salt in every PDP related thread.
