Has Pewdiepie gone to far?

Haters fascinate me--their existence, their devotion, and the endless time they have available to spread the hate. I guess if I stopped making videos, I could use that time to hate on people. Then I can write my autobiography, From YouTuber to Hater -or- How I Found Inner Peace.

I can say the same thing about about Sycophantic Fans who will defend their heroes to the end. Haters and Sycophants are both extremists just at different ends of the spectrum. There is no reasoning with a Hater just like with a Sycophant. When news broke of Michelle Phan getting sued for some copyright stuff a few months ago I left a comment on a TMZ YouTube video about it. It was a neutral statement that questioned the validity of Michelle's claims and the Copyright holders motivations. I ended up being cyber stalked by a minion of Michelle Phan from that comment. I don't use minion very often to describe sycophant's but this was a person who I saw on other comment sections of other videos on this matter defending her Idol Michelle to the death with ferocious and childish remarks to whoever dared make a comment that could even slightly be taken or seen as against Michelle Phan. There was no reasoning with this person. She followed me to three different videos where I left a comment on one and reply to two other comments and she couldn't help but replying to them and I was like "WTF!?".

So like someone stated earlier in this thread there are fans who are "passionate" but I believe that most who are described as so need to realize they can be just as bad as Haters. There is a difference between being a "passionate" YouTube fan and being obsessed , misguided and unreasonable which ironically are the qualities a Hater typically has. I believe in being a fan of something but when you are such an ardent person of someone or something and you go out of your way to be irrational and attack others and can't handle a slight bit of criticism for what you are a fan of then you need a psych evaluation.

I used to watch him way back in the day when he had less than 10000 subs.
His channel blew up when he started to play a lot of amnesia. It scared the lving s**t out of him and ppl liked to watch it ^^.

That explains it.
Was he always as loud?
 
Okay honestly speaking I don't hate him at all. But in the beginning I liked him as a gamer and a youtuber. But now if you look at his videos, they are just plain annoying. He is uploading weird content. Like boob simulator?

With that being said, that is just my opinion though but I don't hate the guy. ;)
 
In my opinion people will say that he got his subs by #hardwork but its a total lie..YouTube helped him a lot by promoting his videos that to be honest now a day they are totally terrible but again his mayor fan base are 8 to 15 year old kis....Besides all bigger YouTubers are keep getting the upper hand by been recommended by YouTube every moment and getting the first pages. so that mean small YouTubers need to spend 5 years of their life to get 500 subs? but again it depends on what everyone is searching in youtube and if you dont partner with a bigger channel its gonna be impossible to make it on this period...
 
Gaming isn't my thing, Pewds can be funny but I just can't really watch all that swearing stuff, I have kids in the house. I would never have guessed that Pewds would become the top YouTuber in the world, he can be pretty grating. But I guess someone had to be at the top, and I wish him well.[DOUBLEPOST=1416284239,1416284090][/DOUBLEPOST]

This is very true, I have no use for blind zealotry of any type. People should think for themselves instead of attaching themselves to a person or cause so strongly without taking everything into account!
