Pewdiepie is due to delete his channel in three hours

[The Master]

Let's see if he actually goes through with it. My bet is on yes, but with the condition that he's just going to make a new one and get back to business as usual within a week.

EDIT: Proof of his claim.

EDIT 2:

So, he did it. He deleted his channel. "Jack septiceye2" is no more. Amazing.

I can't imagine he leaves youtube as he claims unless he has like some big hbo tv show lined up or something....which he doesn't.

Isn't he a millionaire? Why should he give a shit.

That too. This entire thing is a stupid publicity stunt. The reason from what I gather is that his channel is trending downwards and he wants views that closer reflect his subscriber count.

 

[Maiden-TieJuan]

He more then likely is doing this to get views from old accounts. He makes a "Imma shout this down!" statementioned, then it gets spread across the net like blood across a highway, people that used to watch hear about it and get nostalgic so start watching again, profit.

All youtube channels are trending down, people have moved on

I kinda wondered about that. Where are they going to? Vine is basically nonexistent lately (kinda), and I haven't heard about periscope in a minute, so where are all these disaffected YouTube people going?

HBO Go, Netflix and Hulu Plus - tv shows have gotten better, things like youtube thrive on down times in tv - but it's currently an up period so less people use it - also shit like overwatch and that take people's attention

Ahhh. But those platforms don't feature vlogs or privately made videos. I always used YouTube for stuff like that, not for actual shows. but I see your point. Why look for content (and not find it) when you can unwind watching Vanderpump Rules or The Seven Deadly Sins?

 

[wagglyplacebo]

Probably why he's doing it.

I would pay to see that.

Also, less than an hour to go!

Nothing of value was lost.

Pretty much all of his fans predicted he would delete the second one. It was incredibly obvious.
