In case you missed the news Disney has cut ties with PewDiePie today. Following that, YouTube cancelled his show and removed his channel from their ad program.

I didn't see this. Just preferred advertisers or all of adsense?

He will just have to cry into is millions if both.

He paid 2 guys to hold up this sign in his newest video



That was the tipping point, as he has had many anti-semitic "jokes" in the past and the WSJ made a video about them and the above picture was his response.

quote:

On Tuesday, a YouTube spokeswoman said the service was canceling the release of “Scare PewDiePie Season 2,” a sequel to an original YouTube series, and dropping PewDiePie from Google Preferred, a program that offers advertisers access to its most popular channels.


Not sure if that means AdSense as well or not. Seems separate.

That's dumb. Stupid reason to ban someone, but whatever.

I thought he had already "quit" after reaching 5 million subscribers or something.

I don't watch his show.

Get off my back.

Wasn't there someone who said they were quitting after reaching a certain number of subs?

Maybe this is his way out with out officially quitting. Like " hey I don't owe you anything for quitting if you fire me. " Seems as if he has had some beef with YouTube for awhile now.

It's just red pilling his 53 million, 12 year old subs about the lying liberal media. The media is so clueless.
The media is now calling Pews a fascist/nazi and anit- semeitc. Even his 12 year old subscribers will see through the lying media. The words"nazi" and "fascist" have lost all meaning. The alt right just gained 53 million new members

He hasn't cared about rules for years now. He's fed up and I don't blame him. At this point he's self made and doesn't need anyone else to keep a living.

it was him. He said he would delete his channel once he reached 50 million subs. Then he made a video once he reached 50 million showing him delete his channel. Except he didn't clarify which channel. He deleted an extra channel that he made called "Jacksepticeye 2" or something like that that didn't have any videos on it. He supposedly gonna delete his main channel when he reaches 100 million.

I'm sure he's fine, although I find it fricking hilarious he was canned by Disney of all companies for being anti-semitic.

His legion of 12-year-olds don't give a shite. It was a fricking dumb, careless attempt at a joke. I'm glad they dropped him, but it won't change his subscriber base that much. He's the embodiment of the shallow, unempathetic internet age.

Youtube treats the creators of a different ideology like shtt.

I suspect a lot of these Youtube celebs don't have any understanding of PR or professionalism. I guess even the biggest among them is prey to this.
