Awesome, I get to write about my favourite YouTuber, the amazing, incredible, multi-talented PewDiePie, real name Felix Kjellberg. Can't wait for my Twitter to be full of love and appreciation.
Almost as simultaneously as he mentions that he's made a tonne of money for charity (fantastic, genuinely well done), he then goes on about his 50 million followers and the reason he pulled a stunt and deleted one of his smaller channels when he reached the goal.
Among other points, he complains that the media was taking certain aspects of his previous videos, (yeah, even when you're joking saying that white people are punished and non-white people are promoted on YouTube, or pretending that you've joined ISIS when there are people living in fear in the Middle East and dying in horrific circumstances on a daily basis), those kind of things are picked up on, so here it is in full and you can all watch for yourselves. Please analyse every word and then go on his channel and watch every video and follow him, I believe he is trying to say.

He explains that he was standing up for many prominent YouTubers, who he felt were being punished by its algorithms or some more sinister means.
Apparently all is hunky dory again with YouTube and its content creators so the stunt simultaneously helped him gain more reach and was beneficial for his co-Tubers (made that phrase up). He's basically a modern-day knight, riding into battle against the site and falling on his sword for everyone else. What a hero.
He jokes that he will delete his channel at 100 million, among other quips, points and comments. You've seen all of it of course so we don't need to go into too much detail.
Just putting this out there. It was just ten minutes of self-indulgence where he plugs a few companies and individuals. I mean, it's not my cup of tea and it interrupted me half-watching Villa versus QPR but if you're interested in this stuff then it's not anyone's place to judge.
Yes, he makes loads of money for charity, which is amazing. Let's all move on, forever (poor penalty from Jonathan Kodjia).
