PewDiePie må kunne kalles den mest populære spillpersonligheten på kloden, i hvert fall på Youtube hvor han har over 30 millioner såkalte subscribers som følger ham ukentlig. Nå har han bestemt seg for å stenge kommentarfeltene under postene hans, og i en video forklarer han at det er stygg språkbruk og hatefulle kommentarer som er årsaken til avgjørelsen.
"I go to the comments and it's mostly spam, and people self-advertising, it's people who are trying to provoke, and people replying to all these, just all this stuff to me, it doesn't mean anything, he said in a recent video. I don't care about it. I don't want to see it. I just don't care.
It's been bothering me for so long now, I've been trying to find solutions to it, I've been hoping it would get better, I was hoping YouTube would try to figure a way out, but it doesn't seem like it, and I'm just sick of it," he said. "So I'm going to turn the comments off forever, they're not coming back this time around."
