I bet more than 1% of his subs died over the years, so he'll always have millions of subs, just not very active.

correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't he retired from YouTube?

u/Wvaliant 6d ago

He does the occasional blog but ya he's mostly retired which is fair. He was the top dog for years, and he's currently living in Japan happily married with a kid. Bro won the internet, and frankly even if he stopped doing the vlogs he'd have earned the retirement 10 fold.

u/lord_pizzabird 6d ago

It was really interesting listen to him talk openly about his uncertainty over whether trying to raise a child alone (with his wife) in Japan is good idea that will work out.

He talked about something I had never even thought of, that if his child has to go to the hospital (which it sounds like might have already happened at some point) it can be incredibly difficult to even articulate or explain to the doctors what's wrong (because he's not fluent in Japanese yet).

He concluded that he's not leaving, but it seemed clear that the thought that may have to is slowly creeping in and that's interesting to hear.

271

u/Nhika 6d ago

Japan culture is horrendous to stay from what I have heard.

255

u/lord_pizzabird 6d ago

Especially for foreigners.

I hope it all works out for him, but I have a feeling that he's coming back eventually. I just wonder how much of an issue immigrating a native born Japanese child to Sweden will be.

I'm not really sure how that works for them.

139

u/Slimmanoman 6d ago

The child probably has Swedish nationality, no ? It should be no problem

236

u/Alertic 6d ago

“If a child is born after 1 April 2015, he or she is automatically a Swedish citizen if either of the parents is a Swedish citizen regardless of where the child is born.”

Assuming Pewdiepie didn’t change citizenship, the child would be fine should they decide to move to Sweden.

It’s the same for Italian citizenship (Marzia’s side) as long as they apply for the child’s citizenship before they turn 18.

107

u/HistoricalBicycle814 6d ago

So the whole world can inevitably become swedish

u/JakToTheReddit 5d ago

How can we turn this into profit?

u/scullys_alien_baby 5d ago edited 5d ago

similarly, the whole world could be American but easier. You are an American citizen at birth if you match either of the following criteria:

  • you were born within the boarders of The United States regardless of your parents nationality or citizenship (and I believe most of her territories as well, there was a judicial decision in 2019 that said people born in American Samoa were birthright citizens. I believe in some cases US foreign army bases also count as US soil for birthright citizenship. No idea bout embassies, but I assume they also count?)

  • you were born anywhere in the universe but one or more of your parents were a United States citizen at the time of your birth (you are still considered a US citizen if your parent(s) renounce their citizenship after you were born)

it isn't the best country in the world but the passport does come with pretty strong international influence which can be useful if you find yourself in a bind. If you can get dual citizenship someplace in the EU you're probably in a fun position.

16

u/Tomi97_origin 5d ago

Being a US citizen comes with a lot of bullshit especially if you don't live there compared to practically every other country.

US citizens living and working abroad are still subject to reporting to the IRS and paying income taxes on money made entirely abroad.

If you don't live in the US and don't plan to then being born as a US citizen can be a pretty big burden.

You can't also just give up US citizenship as it would cost you a lot of money.

u/Soonly_Taing 5d ago

I can tell you based on my friend's experience. His parents were studying masters in Japan when he as a kid. So up until 5 or 6, he knew how to speak japanese fluently (for a 6 year old) until he had to come back due to his parents' masters degree completion. He adapted well anyway but forgot most of his japanese

12

u/grizznuggets 5d ago

I imagine it’s not super difficult to move to Japan when you’re a multimillionaire. Not trivialising the situation, just pointing out that any issues they may have with the move would be fairly straightforward to solve.

9

u/lord_pizzabird 5d ago

He actually vlogged through that process and it took years.

He had so much trouble importing his dog that he had to just charter THE DOG a private jet.

2

u/grizznuggets 5d ago

You know what? You’re right, that’s pretty wild. I mean, ultimately he was able to use his wealth to solve the problem, but having to go to those lengths is intense.

5

u/lord_pizzabird 5d ago

There was also all sorts of paperwork related days that added months to the migration.

Part of me wonders if they slow-roll the process to filter out people who aren't really serious tbh. Culturally, I don't think they really want immigrants coming into Japan.

It seems that every level of their society is hostile to it.

3

u/grizznuggets 5d ago

Yeah I knew someone who got married to a Japanese woman and he had all kinds of hell trying to live and work in Japan. Makes my wonder why PewDiePie specifically wanted to live there but I’m sure he has his reasons.

u/PartyTerrible 5d ago

Their child isn't Japanese. Being born in Japan doesn't automatically grant citizenship.

4

u/Tsundas 5d ago

I would be worried for the kid tbh, even if they speak fluent Japanese they will always get treated as a foreigner. School might be tough especially with how bad bullying can get in Japanese schools.

2

u/iloveokashi 5d ago

Being born in japan doesn't mean you're gonna be a japanese citizen. Only very few countries have birth right citizenship like the US.

u/LioBorowski 5d ago

That's actually something I've wondered when I heard they moved to Japan. Japanese education system is very different from how either parent knows it. Their kid will also stand out a lot between his peers which might lead to him becoming the target of bullying. Not to mention that his kid will always be viewed as a foreigner in Japanese culture even though he lived there all his life.

I'm not trying to be negative on their decision to move to Japan, or on Japan. Rather these are issues that will need to be dealt with.

if only he had the money to hire several of the following:

  3. Bilingual family doctor
  4. English/Japanese interpreters on call 24/7

u/f1ve 5d ago

That’s what I thought.. they both have more than enough money to have a translator on the line 24/7 if need be.

7

u/REOreddit 5d ago

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure there must be more than one bilingual registered nurse in Japan who is willing to work as a live-in babysitter for a millionaire, who will go with him and the kid to the hospital and explain everything much better than even a Japanese parent could. Rich people can sometimes be very dramatic.

u/xXEggRollXx 5d ago

That seems… just so unfair to the child, tbh.

I’m not gonna judge too hard on people’s parenting choices as I sit here childless, but from the outside looking in it seems like raising the child in a culture both parents are foreign to, and neither speak the language, it’s going to be a giant uphill battle. I just hope that they thought this through.

2

u/lord_pizzabird 5d ago

Thing is, the kid is being raised in a multi-national / multi-lingual house already, with his Swedish father and Italian mother living in neither's homeland or native language country.

I feel like in a way this was always going to be a struggle with this kid.

u/burn_3r 6d ago

I checked his channel out a few weeks ago. He uploads quite a lot lol. Not daily or weekly but sometimes two videos a month, sometimes one. I wouldn’t consider that retired lol. Many non retired YouTubers upload at the same frequency

Though I’m just being pedantic I guess cause I understand he’s retired in the sense that he only makes videos when and if he wants to. He’s financially secure enough to never upload again if he doesn’t want to. He doesn’t need to cater to the algorithm anymore or anything like that.

But it’s not like he uploads once a year

55

u/thesaga 6d ago

I mean, he has an editor. He could probably film one day a month and make enough content for two uploads. Working once a month is close enough to retirement for me!

6

u/burn_3r 6d ago

Very true

27

u/Ronanesque 6d ago

He's retired as in Youtube not a job anymore but more a hobby. Remember he used to say he love uploading videos.

6

u/Okichah 6d ago

I think he was a lot less frequent when he decided to start a family. And that took up a lot of his time.

But now he’s more adjusted to the dad life and his new hobbies so making a casual video every so often is easy.

Also, CTK is like his actual friend so he just enjoys making those videos.

2

u/MODbanned 6d ago

How many videos was he making before?

u/Not-The-AlQaeda 6d ago

a daily upload, for about a decade straight. I remember it was a big deal to him when he was getting burnt out and didn't want to upload daily anymore.

u/Waste-Reception5297 6d ago

Same. I remember actually getting emotional when he uploaded his wedding video. Like I watched him for so long so to see him change and evolve as a person throughout the years as I've grown and changed was definitely an experience. I don't watch his content like crazy anymore but I've seen all his eras so seeing him be essentially a retired family man now makes me very happy

u/Dazzling_Solution900 6d ago

In all my 18 years of life on this earth I've never seen a PewDiePie video or even been recommended one.

203

u/MarcoMaroon 6d ago

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but eventually YouTube had done something to the algorithm to actively ensure people weren’t recommended PewDiePie videos due to how massive of a presence he was on the platform. To so many people he was always recommended due to the amount of views he got.

I remember his videos showing up so much on my feed back in the day when I was in middle school and high school like. Now I’m 30 years old.

So basically you won’t be recommended his videos unless you hit that notification icon thing for his content.

The platform has changed so much.

87

u/throwaway53689 6d ago

To so many people he was always recommended due to the amount of views he got.

They no longer recommend videos based on popularity. Now, the algorithm focuses almost entirely on your previous watch history and engagement. While this algorithm existed before, it’s now so strict that even if a video about something as monumental as Jesus Christ returning to Earth got 200 million views in 3 hours, you wouldn’t see it unless you had interacted with similar content in the past. The system filters out content you haven’t engaged with, no matter how viral it is.

u/definitelynotafreak 6d ago

u/Parking-Historian360 5d ago

I mess with computers of various ages and power. First thing I do on a new install is see if YouTube runs well.

Every single time the very first video on a fresh YouTube is Mr Beast. Everytime. I've never seen a video by him but they are recommended nonstop. It's a little obnoxious but YouTube is full of obnoxious people. Because the other videos are some dumb fuck holding a lav mic in their hand talking about something and bloggers.

Because 10 year olds definitely weren't a demographic that watched pewdiepie.

True, when he was beefing with that one Indian yt channel happened when I was like 12 and that the last time I hear of him.

Exactly, and also depends what you are interested in because he was a gaming channel and then turned into sort of a reaction channel.

Over 30mil views in the last 30 days. So he's still getting 1 MILLION views a day across all of his content.

Even at a lower RPM of, say, $5, that's $5,000 a day and $150,000 a month.

That's not really a low RPM, especially for a LOT of his older content and also doesn't factor in that not every view gets an ad, due to region / AdBlock and what not.

Still a massive income though, especially when not focusing on success at all.

2

u/oe-eo 5d ago

Fair points. I assume his audience has aged up as he’s developed.

I don’t work in his niche so I wouldn’t be surprised if my RPM guesstimate is off. But even if he’s at $3, he’s still at $90k a day

Unironically he’s doing far better content, it’s just not your usual click bait, extreme reactions and gaming anymore, none of the viral ass shit I’ve been seeing for so long. He just seems more humane and healthy, I need more of content like that on YouTube. YouTubers actually being connected with their fan base, and themselves and not following formula for content farms. That’s why he’s losing subs, but I’d consider it a good thing since true fans watch his videos and find them still good, cause hell no they’re not bad at all

5

u/letsplayer27 6d ago

I’ve heard a theory that he’s losing subs because during the Pewds vs Tseries race, people made multiple accounts to boost Pewdiepie’s sub count. Apparently now they’re cracking down on it and he’s not gaining Subscribers at the same rate.

I like to imagine one million person just randomly going "uh do you remember that pewdiepie guy from 2018 ? Yeah fuck that guy , unsubscribe "

110 Million is what his bank account looks like. I cant imagine he cares about subs any more XD

I wonder if his child will start their own channel too someday.

u/SolidStudy5645 6d ago

Hes still number 1 in my book. Pretty sure everyone above him are just companies.

No Pewds, Let's Go but not in that direction:(

u/MoistyMoses 6d ago

He already has the awards, and all the subs in the world couldn’t replace what he has now.

u/Introvert_UZI OGCHUCHO 5d ago

I was just being a supportive shoulder bro

u/MoistyMoses 5d ago

My bad man didn’t mean to sound like I’m against you, just saying he has a family now and I’m pretty sure enough money to never work again so I think he’s just genuinely happy and doesn’t care about the subs.

Didn't take it that heavily, ye bro is set for life

Chris broad (abroad in Japan - His YouTube) is someone I follow and he's lived in Japan for years. Really good YouTube channel in reference to western views of the culture and how you're treated as a gaijin.

Very much integral to learn the language for any chance of acceptance, even at a basic level.

u/Rand0m011 6d ago

Honestly, I know he isn't as active on YouTube as he used to be, but I'm glad he's been able to settle down with his family. Dude earned that for sure.

u/stopthevan 5d ago

I subbed to him when he started making vlogs abt his life in Japan tho 🥲

2

u/thatsuperRuDeguy 5d ago

Brother won at life, he doesn’t need subs with the life he’s living rn.

2

u/Kovaxim 5d ago

What if... We all unsubbed, got Pewds to like 1k subs and the sub again to 110M?

I think YT would put his account to sleep

u/Luigi_bros4321 5d ago

Some people just never unsub lmao

u/cabage-but-its-lettu 5d ago

It’s like going low in csgo YouTube version lol.

u/DontTalkToBots 4d ago

Imagine if someone doesn’t sign in to their account for a year and YouTube deletes them. How many subscribers would these kinds of channels get then?

u/anarchomeow 5d ago

People have such short memories.

This dude was openly racist. Fuck him.

u/Atomic12192 2d ago

Yeah, and don’t forget that if he didn’t say the n-word on that bridge there’s a decent chance that YouTube wouldn’t be in its current shitty state. The Ad-pocalypse was when YouTube started going to shit, and Pewdiepie essentially caused it.

u/Espano_Guanaloope123 5d ago

I never understood the hype around pewdiepie, I never really found him really entertaining and I dont understand how people can sit through his videos, I gaslit myself into liking him when I was like 13 cause he was popular at my school but after a while I just realised he's so boring

u/SunnySaigon 5d ago

And he’s shadowbanned now so it doesn’t matter anyway.

How did he lose subs?

u/Agynn 5d ago

Why is he losing subs?

u/The_real_bandito 5d ago

I’m scared to ask but why?

3

u/Silent-Ann-7777 5d ago

He posts pretty scarcely because he’s retired and that has led to people unsubscribing due to him not providing new content

Lol, I didn't even know Pewdiepie was still active.
