| It's easy to hate him since his channel's content is pretty much trash in my eyes, but then again, since he makes a shitton of cash by doing it, I don't see the problem. If I was him I would too lol |

| If people don't want him to make so much money they should stop watching his videos, because he's making even more this year.... I suppose :) |

There are many other people on Youtube, and other places who are far more talented than him, and they're making next to no money at all. |

Working_Designs said: There are many other people on Youtube, and other places who are far more talented than him, and they're making next to no money at all. Since when was popularity and money making an indication of talent. michael bay movies prove that popularity and numbers isn't everything. Most betters are under appreciated for a more profitable, marketable and universally available product. PewDiePie is like McDonalds sure its everywhere and makes loads of money but its far from quality. |

Working_Designs said: Yeah because talent is correlated to how much money people earn or how popular they are.

Not like I write blog after blog, or make vblogs specifically to showcase my hate for him. Here is a more accurate video: Someone explain the appeal of watching someone (anyone) not limited to pewdiepie play video games when you can simply play them yourself. If you have hands and eyes that work play the fucking games don't watch other people play them for you. |

| Don't care for his videos and I can only imagine the people who enjoy that sort of stuff to be a little light in the cranial region. But best that money doesn't go to his head. HeatoN(top fragger/owner of NiP) & Fatal1ty(Quake legend) still worth more, yet people hardly remember who they are these days. If he doesn't start enterprising now(like these 2 gentleman started doing at a young age), then he'll be through that cash and his popularity sooner than later. |
| I am on the edge ! The edge of the edgiest edge ever edged by edgekind ! я умерте ужасну депрессии... |
| The point of entertainment is to entertain people, doesn't matter if you're going to acting school and have talent for act, or has spent a lot of money to create a visionary movie, in the end what matters is the satisfaction of your target audience. From my perspective he was a clown, a silly clown, yet a clever clown who knows how to appease their kings. He was an entertainer who is good at what he does. Those views doesn't comes cheap, I just hope his online persona didn't ruin his 'normal' self. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| He's pretty lucky |

Bloodshade said: The video sucked, and it was hypocritical of him, for the point he's trying to make aka (not giving a fuck).

If that is "hypocritical", then I'd have to say that your post is as well. |

| Who even cares? you could say the same thing about actors and some of them make more than him. |

| It might be nice to get rich being an annoying unfunny ghey little shit. I can't do that. Not ghey enough. |
| I stopped caring about PDP long ago, but he's obviously good at what he does, else he wouldn't be so big now. The only reason people care is because they are jealous of him hitting it big, while others, who arguably deserve to make that money more, or maybe even themselves, did not. I'm certain that many of them would do anything to be in his shoes. After all, you don't have anyone to answer to, you can make your own schedule, and you can work from the comfort of your own home. I don't think I can come up with a better job than that. And if he is way overpaid, then what about the many Hollywood actors who get a few million just for appearing once in a movie? Or professional athletes that don't do much, other than being really good at their sport? Why am I not hearing anyone complain about them? Because they're 'professionals', and had to work hard to get to the top? What makes PDP less professional, then, if the job description is basically the same – entertain a lot of people with that in which you're good at? |

That's the main problems of stuck up people, they felt entitled to earn more because they think they were smarter, funnier, more hard working, or even more amiable than him. Well, they might be right but life's like that, they just couldn't deal with it. |

They just jealuzz edit: holy fucking shit tho, i didnt know that youtube partners could earn so much money. |
| hope he's giving some money away to people in need |
| I thought his popularity was decreasing o_o Used to watch him a lot last year but lost interest cause he's not funny anymore and would just cuss over nothing. He's annoying now. |

You could make a living out of it, there are already a lot of youtuber that quite open about how much they've got from their video. Most of them earn big not only from the youtube direct ads itself, but also from sponsorship partners, free products, sponsored messages, etc. It is a big market that most people takes as a joke. |

Bloodshade said: Someone explain the appeal of watching someone (anyone) not limited to pewdiepie play video games when you can simply play them yourself. If you have hands and eyes that work play the fucking games don't watch other people play them for you. Simple, because watching people do 'Lets Plays' videos and making commentaries are entertaining af. I, certainly preferred watching people play video games than playing by myself. even if i own a copy of the game. |
| Do people really care how much he makes? Why make such a big deal about it? |
AO968 said: Or professional athletes that don't do much You stopped caring? well I stopped reading after this dribble. |

Nah, I'm not being hypocritical. I just find it repulsive end of story. And yes the video is hypocritical. Because the guy is a dumb ass trying to push it off as he doesn't care about all this drama about how much pewdiepie makes yearly. Yet, he's completely infuriated based on his rant with people who hate on him which equally make no sense. He doesn't care yet he makes a rant about people caring??? Its fucking idiotic. Why can't you see that? People hate on him because they can and its fun to do so depending on the situation. Yeah, and Alpha sucks. He sounds like he got his balls chopped off similar to pewdiepie.... Honestly, people can bash who ever they want to... P.S. People who watch his shit or are his fans, have shit taste... there is no point in even debating it. Its fact. Most of the famous youtubers don't even deserve the amount of money they are getting. People should learn to block ads. Of course, there are plenty of other professions I believe don't deserve the salary they are getting but that is another monster. |

| OMG PEWDIEPIE!!! (or should i say Pewwwwwwwdipieee LOL xD). Respect for this guy, BROFIST! |
 |
|
| I'm glad he makes this much money since he donates a lot of it to charities. |
| posting to admit I hate him and do not watch his vids because he makes that much money for lowbrow crap (I watched about 5 seconds of one of his vids 4 years ago before close tab) |
| Just look at his channel he's put up hour long, very well edited playthroughs of "Catherine". Other channels are good, other channels don't commentate at all, and others don't come close to editing their videos with his dedication. People will just find stupid reasons to hate. His facade, huniepop, heavy rain, photoshop videos etc are pretty entertaining, it's just personal taste. |

The only time I'd watch someone play is if I'm seriously stuck on a part and have no idea how to get passed it. But honestly, how come no one ripped this guys vocal cords out? He isn't funny, but rather annoying. Plus, his reactions sound fake as hell. Yea pewds isn't that fun ImO :(. But if people have fun watching him, why not ? It's a nice thing that people can make a living out of their passion. |
| I watch DanTDM instead. :P |
  music is life... |
| He has almost 40 million subscribers and he can hardly reach 3 million views on some videos. Huh, funny how that works... |
 |
| congratulations :) not watching is videos so nothing more, happy for him. |
 |
| why would we even care |
