I'm seeing a lot of Pewdiepie threads lately, both defending and insulting him.
I'm seeing a lot of "he's money hungry," "his fans are idiots," and "he's obviously lying."
The only thing you have to assume he's money hungry is that he has a youtube partnership and that he donated to charity. You assume that because he likes money and because he makes money off of YouTube, which a lot of people would call "not a real job," that makes him greedy and states that he doesn't really care about his fans.
You can surprisingly get a lot of money off of youtube, so I hear. I'm pretty sure the ratio is $1 per $1000, or 75c per 1000 views. So yes, people like Smosh and freddiew can pay their bills with that money (I could be wrong, btw, I have no idea what the policy is now).
That's just the reward for what he does. He's made a large fanbase in 2 years. That's highly impressive. He has comedic talent, whether you care to admit it or not. Maybe you wouldn't think so, but his current 3,700,000 fans do. And sure, it's safe to say that somewhere around 80% of those people are "kiddies," or 10-12 years of age, but that means nothing. His comedy entertains 10-12 year old kids, just as shows like Drake and Josh and Adventure Time do. It doesn't mean anything. And what you people (obviously) fail to understand is that 10-12 year olds aren't the smartest people on Earth. They're KIDS. They don't know any better than to go off flipping on his criticism and calling everyone barrels because Felix says that stuff.
And I think it's truly pathetic that you can't accept that someone who donates to charity isn't looking for publicity. Maybe the guy really is a big teddy bear, looking to help out some people in need. Based on the payment ratio (which again may be wrong), he makes PLENTY of money. He doesn't need extra. Maybe he knew that and gave it up to people who do because he's nice like that. Concocting one of the worst case scenarios with half-baked assumptions is highly childish.
And lastly, people say in his video he sounds insincere. Take note that most of this criticism is coming from Americans. He's Swedish. His accent is different, their perception on pronunciation can be different, and heck, he doesn't even speak English "like a pro." He sounds different than an American would in his videos, so he's not going to give off the "American sincerity" vibe. If an American were to give his side of the story in Pewdiepie's lingual gusto, we'd probably think he was lying too.
This can also explain his humor. Sure, he's been to America, but he's lived in Sweden. Different cultures have different senses of humor. I bet all Swedish kids and teens think he's the funniest guy ever. We may think it's immature because that's how we've come to see those kinds of things, but again, 3,700,000 don't care.
I'm not going to go off calling you people jealous because I know that's not the case. It's the fact that you see respectable-looking people criticizing him so you think "Oh, he's a respectable guy insulting him...and you know what? I want to be respectable! I wanna jump on the bandwagon and insult him too!"

Please take note after reading it that I'm not even that big of a Pewdiepie fan. I like him and have found myself dying from some of his videos, but he's nowhere near my favorite.

Really, I'm trying to comprehend...I just...

@nice
Well no.
Pewdiepie haters are always checking in, waiting for him to make an inappropriate joke so they can comment about it and then go complain to ROBLOX.

@Successful
If you'd like a realization on the case, sure.
You don't have to, though.
