PewDiePie
Any of you guys follow this dude? I used to watch a few of his early videos when he would broadcast Modern Warfare clips and coment on his online matches. That was about 4 years ago. Then in late 2015, I saw that he had an app on iOS and I didn't understand how he got a video game named after him from what he was doing on YouTube. I started watching his clips and realized how big he had become in so little time. Some of his vids are clever, others are decent and some are just boring. Nonetheless, this 26 year old Swede managed to gain over 44,000,000 subscribers in less than 5 years on YouTube!!! The most by any non-celebrity (or anyone actually) I believe! He has more subscribers than the Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift channels COMBINED!
His humour is not for everyone and he does say/do childish things, but when he reviews his fanart or he replies to hate mail, he cracks me up! He's become funnier/more clever in the past year IMO. Like him or hate him, the guy is laughing his way to the bank, making weekly videos about pretty much nothing
This video below is not for everyone as it contains immature humor mixed with coarse language and sexual themes, but if you have 6-10 minutes to kill, it may get a giggle or 2 out of you! It also gives you an idea of the type of videos he makes (editing, quirky remarks, expressions,...)

Re: PewDiePie
after reading this thread, I watched a few of his videos and actually had a few laughs. I was not expecting that.
I can see the appeal for younger people watching his stuff for sure.
