Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, known to the world as PewDiePie, created his YouTube channel in 2010 and since then has taken the YouTube world by the storm. With the second most subscribed YouTube channel and the most subscribed YouTuber he has amassed a staggering 98 million subscribers and is the 11th most viewed YouTube channel with over 22 billion views in total. PewDiePie started off his channel as a gaming enthusiast who made horror playthroughs and reactions to them but has now expanded to vlogs, comedy videos, freestyle humor and carefully organized multiple series of reaction videos but likes to maintain a mostly gaming niche. His most popular videos are the ‘Let’s Play Video game’ commentaries but while the content is usually appreciated he has met with controversy and received abrasive critique. Staying true to his original intent with his YouTube channel Felix has created a fan following of gamers and enthusiasts who he affectionately calls ‘9 year olds’. The name came from “Pew! (a gun shooting), Die!” his original YouTube channel of which he has forgotten the password and Pie because he loves pie.
