PewDiePie YouTube Millionaire Channel Deletion Revelation Was A Big Joke? [UPDATE]
The YouTube millionaire PewDiePie was supposed to delete his account yesterday for protesting against YouTube. The Deal is if his account will reach 50 million subscribers he will delete his YouTube channel on Friday 5 p.m. (GMT) .
PewDiePie thinks that YouTube has been doing some dirty tactics promoting "click baity" content rather than showing his videos. The Video entitled "Deleting my channel at 50 Million" was posted last December 2 where he promised to delete his YouTube channel when it reaches 50 million subscribers. So people had subscribed like how they want to oust this vlogger and just last Thursday he reached the said 50 million subscribers, will YouTube's most profitable star-earning $15M keep his promise?
On the most awaited deletion by PewDiePie of his YouTube Channel, last Friday was a big JOKE. On the 1:43 minutes video he started to say, "We did it, guys, we hit 50 million, Thanks to your help, I'm now going to delete my channel." on the dramatic voice like he's giving out a sympathy. The YouTube Vlogger then flash the recap video of deleting his YouTube account when it reached 50 million. PewDiePie continues, "It's time to keep my end of the promise to delete my channel. Now rest assured, I am going to delete my channel right now but I just wanna say you know when you make a joke? just blows up way bigger than you ever imagine, this was covered my media everywhere the fact that I said I was gonna delete my channel." He shows that he's about to permanently delete the channel in just one click but saying that it was just a joke. At the end, he says thank you for all the 50 million subscribers and stated that he'll delete the channel for 100 million subscribers. Did the YouTube Vlogger just lie? According to GameSpot, the second account was deleted but not the main account.
