PewDiePie signs exclusive live-streaming deal with YouTube
- solarhoma 6y agoThat’s too bad. He could have used this opportunity to promote a platform different then youtube. I believe most of his videos include how much he dislikes YouTube. So, there must have been quite a financial incentive to stick with YouTube. Or, he worried about losing his fan base.
- ajayyy 6y agoHe already did. He promoted "Dlive".
- volak 6y agoA deal like this would likely be worth half a million at least. Perhaps even a couple billion.
- DonHopkins 6y agoThat escalated quickly! I'm working on my second billion!!! (I gave up on my first.)
- wincy 6y agoAlways have to give a low enough lower bound and high enough upper bound that your estimates are correct!

- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoI love how we're slowly bringing The Fifth Element into reality.
- motoboi 6y agoplease explain.
- falcolas 6y agoIt's amusing that YouTube will go so far to keep him, considering that PewDiePie's early videos are filled with misogyny and hatred, and he was almost single-handedly responsible for the adpocalypse three years ago. Profits, at any cost.
- LockAndLol 6y agoAdpocalypse? Nazis? Misogyny? Are these actually founded accusations or are they like the same ones that were hurled against Joe Rogan when he said he supported Bernie?
- solarhoma 6y agoNone of that is real. But it seems posters want to parrot what cnn told them without doing any research themselves.
- falcolas 6y agoFeel free to go out and look at his video backlog, or look the well researched and documented Wall Street Journal article from 2017 and form your own views.
- falcolas 6y agoMisogyny, just go back in his history and listen to his early videos. For the other two, I recommend looking at the Wall Street article (or the videos he produced) about him paying people to hold antisemitic signs, and how that article coming to light prompted advertisers to start withdrawing their support from YouTube. It's all out there, do yourself a favor and look.
- haunter 6y agoToo big to fail. I mean any other smaller streamer would have long been permabanned for all the nazi and misogynistic stuffs he did
- correct_horse 6y agoBanned, or not recommended by the algorithm?
