Guy's an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.
Really didn't like him when he was younger, he was a naive swedish kid that didn't realize that the dumb shit he said online had ramifications because his audience was so big. He helped platform Ben Shapiro to a younger generation when he had him on his channel for a video, he had that scandal where he said the n word, and then of course the clip where he says the glass ceiling doesn't exist. It's clear to me he didn't realize the cultural and political ramifications of that stuff in America because he was never really exposed to it growing up in Sweden, and he was a cocky 20 something that thought he knew everything.
I hope these days he's realizing how idiotic some of that shit was and is actually trying to use his platform to make his viewers aware of valid issues rather than spouting off about topics he knows nothing about to his viewers who take his word as truth.
He also paid some Africans to hold an anti-semitic sign. To prove people will do things for money I think?
The entire thesis of that video was "fiver and things like that lead to exploitation of the global poor", the sign thing was just a catchy clickbait thing.
I think his reasoning was to see how far the sign holding folks would go for money, and they apparently didn't really have any limits. Should he have done and shown it on youtube is the thing he can be criticized for
I’ve never watched him (I hated him when he would just scream at video games) but he seems to be a lot more mature these days. He even posted a video on why you should switch to Linux recently
I was surprised that the video was actually quite good.
Heartbreaking: one of the most deplorable people in the world made a good point.
If pewdiepie is one of the most deplorable people in the world you know of. You must live in some kind of alternative universe and in paradise.
I mean I don't really consider him a deplorable person... He was a dumb edgy teen 15 years ago that happened to strike a cord with the overwhelming amount of dumb edgy teens on youtube, and strike it rich. I haven't paid a ton of attention to him, but from what I saw of his linux and gadget crafting videos, it sounds like he's grown up a fair amount from his days of scream streaming.
He was an edgy teenager deep into his 20's.
Valid... but also have to point out he hit big as a celebrity. When you are literally raking in millions of dollars. He was about 21 when he started his channel. and bottom line is, he got views, he got likes, and it turned into real cash. Most of our jobs etc... encourage us to grow up. His job, rewarded him for catering to his base... which of were younger than him.
Everyone is a edgy teenager well into their 20s.
As the joke goes, if your 18 your a child, if your 23 your a teenager, if your 29 your 30, if your 34 your late 20s, if your 35 your 35.
Most people in most western worlds don't even get to start being an adult till they are well into their mid 20s, which means they only START growing up at like 24-25.
It takes years to actually mature. Anyone who understand this has never worked a job that has frequent fresh to the workforce people cycling though frequently.
I was about to respond with this, you're still in college in your early 20s. Most of us don't get a four year degree done in actual four years
We got junior devs in their late 20s because they were doing grad school until like 28
he's still swedish though
The president is pewmypie? I had no idea!
Hey they said one of.
The enemy of my enemy or some shit.
I've never watched him, but isn't he just a Twitch streamer?
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend”
I disagree. Things seem to get worse when the herds move to them. It’s as if things are good precisely because they aren’t there.
I think you're seeing the wrong causation when it comes to enshittification. FOSS licenses prevent that sort of thing from happening. Linux is already, by far and away, the most popular server OS so consumers moving to it isn't going to make it worse.
I dunno, maybe be less of a hipster bestie?
bro, open your mind for a minute. Privacy is for everyone. And we need masses wanting privacy otherwise nothing changes.
-bro, but yeah, good point.
I definitely agree with you, but I remember how Digg & then Reddit both went to shit once the masses started to use them. Same with Facebook.
I feel like if we all spread out between multiple platforms, none will become big enough for the enshitification to hit them.
