Should we really care about that guy's opinion?
He still has the 10th most subscribed channel on Youtube, him endorsing Linux is huge due to the reach he has. His video has 3.2 million views, other content creators are making their reaction videos to his video. You don't have to like him to see how big this is for Linux.
This guy has a major following. He could be the next world leader because of brain rotted voters. I have seen kids obsessed this guy, like he could do no wrong. Now those kids are adults. That is pretty difficult to ignore for me.
I'd take him over Trump if those were the choices in an election I had a say in tbh.
Wouldn't take him over someone with experience and sane policies, but definitely better than the MAGA folks.
Apparently he's Swedish, so he's ineligible. I have no idea what his policies are.
I'm not American either. It was an extremely hypothetical scenario.
Ok, this is frankly racist and immensely stupid. If you are going to judge him, do it based on his character. You have plenty of things to criticize about him, but him moving to Japan is not an issue. Jesus...
Swedes arent a race dumdumb.
Honestly youre more likely to be the common denominator here than any swedes moving to japan.
You might just be a nazi magnet. Ever looked yourself in the mirror and thought, 'wow thats some nice stainless paneling?'
What? NRM? or the other fascist scums?
At least he reads books and tries to improve himself on the regular XD
Nobody said that but you though lol
Ah yes because they are equally bad
From what I know, pewdiepie 2025 is nothing like old pewdiepie. Used to review memes, now makes vlogs with his wife and kid while enjoying new life in Japan. Basically retired
Has he done any pro gamer moves lately?
I mean, he switched to Linux and has advocated for gamers to do the same. So… Maybe?
Hey Lois this is like that one time I said a gamer word flashback to the bridge
generally no, but its healthy for the market to have more linux
We shouldn’t give a shit about any social media influencer or celebrity or whatever’s opinion. Cool that he is promoting the change to Linux. And at least he uses a computer. But yeah, fuck em.
Yes, absolutely yes
If you're a boomer, no
