#PEWDIEPIE OBSCURITY 5 CRACKED#

There’s more than advertiser money at stake: Depending on what happens next, Kjellberg’s action could impact the entire YouTube landscape. Is PewDiePie to blame for the Adpocalypse?- KEEM ? September 11, 2017 Whatever happens to Kjellberg could happen to anybody. He may not even want this responsibility, but the sheer size of his audience grants him that importance anyway. Some personalities would hesitate to say the “adpocalypse” was Kjellberg’s fault, but nobody can ignore just how visible his specific channel was during that period of time. Kjellberg, many argue, sets precedent on the platform by virtue of being the biggest channel. Even so, many YouTubers are still operating under a tightened belt thanks to strict monetisation guidelines that make it difficult for video-game-focused-channels to make a living. More recently, companies started coming back to YouTube, and ad revenue started to bounce back. Enormous channels and small outfits alike felt the consequences, with many creators reporting that their earnings on YouTube plummeted for months. After the Wall Street Journal reported on Kjellberg’s Nazi references, many large advertisers pulled out from the platform. If YouTubers sound wary, it’s because they have already been put through the wringer this year. When you haven't even got over the last adpocalypse and Pewdiepie drops a racial slur on stream. Just when ad rev was going back to normal Pewdiepie drops the N bomb… gg were fucked.- Kristopher London September 10, 2017 So consider that before defending him.Īlso racism is very obviously bad.- Normal Human September 11, 2017īut if we're now deciding who can play a game on youtube based on their personal politics, shit's gotten scary as hell.- Boogie2988 September 11, 2017 PewDiePie effects the monetization of all channels on youtube. I don't care what he specifically said- Trap Ketchum September 10, 2017 Pewdiepie needs to be more responsible because his actions affect all of YouTube, not just him. The point is they've never been fair use and we've had a tacit agreement to let it lie, until someone went and fucked it up.- John Bain September 10, 2017 I'm deceased /AoLcDtCAqz- ♡♪!? September 10, 2017 We don't want you.- Matt Collins September 11, 2017īUT HARD R THO? DIDNT HAVE ANY OTHER WORD? If you are defending PewDiePie's use of the n-word then you can fuck off from both Nerd³ spaces and my personal spaces.

Instead, some people are denouncing the slur and expressing disappointment: Notably, though, personalities aren’t all coming to bat over what Kjellberg said. As always, Kjellberg does have defenders, some of whom believe using the N-word does not make you a racist.

On YouTube, Kjellberg has cracked deep enough fault lines that the community seems primed for an earthquake any moment now.

Others, meanwhile, are arguing that gaming as a whole has a problem with racial slurs, and that it’s unfortunately common for large games to have awful chats. There are those who feel tired that someone like Kjellberg, who now has a history of objectionable conduct, continues to dominate headlines and dictate public discourse. Some argue that keeping certain words out of your vocabulary should never be an issue, while others admit that they, too, have said regrettable things while playing a game online. Some have debated what is acceptable to say during aggravating gameplay moments. Plenty of debates have cropped up among people reacting to the situation. In response to that, one indie developer announced that it would try to cut off Kjellberg’s access to its games, and urged for other developers to take the same measures against the popular YouTuber. The clip exploded on social media for obvious reasons: Here was a YouTuber with 57 million subscribers largely consisting of kids and teens, using a racial slur very casually. In the footage, the Swedish star calls another player the N-word in a fit of frustration. Yesterday, a clip featuring Felix “Pewdiepie” Kjellberg playing Battlegrounds went viral. The question many are grappling with at the moment: Has the face of YouTube itself become a liability for the platform? Now, many who make a living off the website are dreading the fallout from the latest Pewdiepie debacle. Between the “adpocalypse” that drained advertising money from YouTube, and highly-publicised fiascos involving popular content creators, YouTube’s had a rocky 2017.
