He's annoying as hell but he seems like a decent guy. Plus he's Swedish so a huge portion of that funds a robust social welfare system.

He doesn't live in Sweden anymore. If I remember correctly, he currently resides in LA, where all popular youtubers seem to move.

He's actually a real smart dude that plays up a role for the camera because he knows it's what people who watch him want to see.

If being an idiot and playing video games on camera was enough to make you a millionaire, there'd be a whole lot more of 'em.

Yeah, he ain't my bag, but there are multi-millionaire's that literally make their millions from the dying and the chronically ill. That's worse than having an online video hosting site pay you for advertising space because you scream at scary video games.

PewDiePie enjoyed the benefits of Swedish welfare until he started making his own money and moved to England to avoid paying the taxes that support said welfare. Also, was born to rich parents which is probably the only reason he could afford to gently caress around on youtube in the first place.

He is a piece of poo poo.

Whoa, I was gonna call him a turd, but then I remembered that Fred Singer is a bigger turd. Then again, he's not Charles Koch, who is a pretty big douche. Am I allowed to dislike him, goons? I'm sure he's not the greatest turd in the world.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
I don't hate-hate the man (though I think he's unfunny) he's just the current fad that the kids like that adults don't get at all, and he's already well past the peak of his fad popularity. What makes me crazy about him is that he's the prime example for how advertisers STILL don't understand how the internet works. 100% of his sweet youtube cash comes from getting paid for every time an ad shows during his videos, right? Well something like 99.99% of his regular audience is 10-14 year olds who will never have either the money nor the desire to spend it that these advertisers are there for. You will never, ever be able to convince me this method is actually profitable for the advertisers, and he and his ilk are laughing all the way to the bank.
