PewDiePie’s Doomladen 2017
While there’s no doubt that PewDiePie’s net worth skyrocketed during 2013-2016, it would stall somewhat after a troubled and controversial 2017.
It started the year by losing its first position in total video views to Indian record company, T-Series. T-Series currently has 20.2 billion views, far more than PewDiePie’s 15.7 million views. In fact, even Justin Bieber came close to passing PewDie; Official VEVO channel for video views.
PewDiePie came under a lot of criticism in 2017 for some of his non-PC comments in his videos. Controversies continued throughout the year, but the most notable was when he paid some people in Pfeiffer to display the message “Death to all Jews”.
He seemed to be on his feet, defending accusations of racism.
The Wall Street Journal took a special interest in the PewDiePie case and reported on the incident. He faced numerous accusations of racism over the years.Disney-owned Maker Studios severed ties with him in early 2017, and he hasn’t been part of the multi-channel network since. Google removed him from its Google Preferred advertising program and canceled the YouTube Red “Scare PewDiePie” series. These actions may be slowing down his ability to earn income.
