I am convinced that his fanbase is purely 7-14 year olds, because I have never seen somebody older that enjoyed his stuff.

EDIT: The other frustrating part is that his girlfriend is gorgeous. I am a bit jealous there, though I know nothing about her except that she is pretty.

[–]hjklyuiop 180 ポイント181 ポイント  (40子コメント)

He's a really smart guy and knows what he is doing, and he has made bank off of it too.

[–]TheMagicJesus 157 ポイント158 ポイント  (32子コメント)

Also is a really humble guy and donated a ton to charity

[–]Quickjager 168 ポイント169 ポイント  (17子コメント)

As a person, yea he seems great. But my god his fanbase...

[–]Danituss 67 ポイント68 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Now I get it! That's the reason he is making money, I mean the kids who watch his videos don't know about adblock and thats the reason his revenue is so big!

[–]jarlrmai2 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Gotta say this actually a factor, comedian Stewart Lee touched on it in a routine I saw.

He said his fans are the internet savvy geeks who know how download his stuff on the internet and Michael McIntyre's fan's have to buy the DVD as they don't know how to get it for free.

The kids who watch his channel probably don't even click to skip the ads either.

[–]tholt212 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're probably not jaded enough to advertising, or know just how underhanded and..... honestly disgusting it can be with it's ability to implant some ideas into your mind.

[–]7ateOut9 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh shit.. That might be it.

[–]Redbulldildo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not at all, you get your money from clicks, and from attempts to show an ad. Whether it's blocked or not doesn't matter, the money comes in.

What I'm betting he does do though, it holds his videos off towards the evening, because how quickly you get your views factors in to the money you make.

[–]isubird33 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think that's just kids. I'm 24 and I barely know anyone that uses adblock.

[–]XxSCRAPOxX 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

His fan base is every little kid. It is what it is. I'm old as fuck and it doesn't bother me. I wish I did what he did. All my friends kids watch that stuff. I generally have no clue what they're talking about but then I saw that South Park episode. Now I see what they are doing, watching guys play games that in general they aren't allowed to play. The fact that the guy makes 'funny' noises only helps his cause.

[–]Zebba_Odirnapal -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

If you wouldn't let your kid play a "mature" game, why would you let them watch Pewdie playing the same game? That's like, even worse.

[–]grzzzly 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

They're just kids. You used to be one at some point and you did/said/wrote stupid immature things as well, even if you can't remember them now. That generation is using the internet and they want to consume media same as you. You should just respect that.

[–]Chrysusz 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Having loads of money generally makes it financially feasible to donate loads of money for the sake of good PR.

[–]henryuuk 35 ポイント36 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Doing something good with added personal benefits does not make the good thing void.
It just makes it smart.

[–]Jay__Gatsby 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's called the gospel of wealth here in the U.S. If you are rich you absolutely have to donate a percentage of your wealth. It's not a bad thing, it's just how its been done for 150 years.

[–]wetwolfshirtcontest 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm sure his standing among 11 year olds just skyrocketed after his charitable donations, as we all know how focused they are on providing clean water to foreign countries and preserving the environment.

[–]Slavazza 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What good is PR for though? More money? But you have only just donated...

[–]CourageousKoala 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Or he just wanted to help people. I don't like the guy's videos either, but you don't have to act as though he's incapable of being nice.

[–]TheLastVotebender 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, the money goes to good use.. so I do not really care if its for PR or for the sake of being good!

[–]ShriekXL 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

But.......but......so humble!

[–]Ibeadoctor 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah I don't understand the sentiment. If he was piss poor and donated that'd be something.

[–]Ran4 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's not at all what's happening. He's getting his viewers to contribute, that's his main goal. There's a big difference in learning millions of people around the world to donate and just donating your own money.

[–]DRIZZLEDUNKS -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes it makes it feasible. I can't say that I would though.

[–]MrsHeisenberg 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You can also get tax breaks from donating to charities.

[–]DRIZZLEDUNKS 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

yes but I highly doubt the tax credit would make up for the amount donated.

[–]Frisky_Frogs 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Tax reasons, he's not humble, he pays a good accountant.

[–]TehFence 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (3子コメント)

His videos are still horribly unwatchable shit.

[–]uh_oh_hotdog 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maybe he hates his own videos too, but who cares? For the kind of money he makes, I'd willingly make shitty videos that I hate too.

[–]justabrickinthewall 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

7.6 billion views suggest otherwise...

[–]TehFence -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, he has a big audience of teens. Doesn't mean it isn't horrible. I mean, just watch it.

[–]darty12111 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Doesn't make him less of an annoying shit-head.

[–]ninjordan 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Something something John Cena the person not John Cena the character

[–]Davo93 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (4子コメント)

And you may never see someone older saying they enjoy his videos, because if the internet.

I get up at 5 am to get to work, till 6pm. After that, I then go to University till 11pm. I dont want to get home to watch the news or something like that. I want to watch something silly, dumb and funny (at least for me). His content happends to be the stupid, dumb and loud humor I enjoy from time to time. I will not stop doing what I enjoy at the moment, just because the whole internet says that since I'm not a kid I should not be enjoing his content.

[–]UnwiseSudai 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Eh, I hate his content but I wouldn't bash you for watching it. Hell you could be a 90 year old watching it and I still wouldn't give a fuck. It's fine to dislike something but I don't understand people's obsession with "You must like what I like or you like the wrong things!!"

[–]GuyFauwx 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Gasp!

[–]bigwillyb123 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you were a Brony using the same argument, you would be seen as a weirdo.

[–]mpg1846 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

lol

[–]TheLegendOfMart 53 ポイント54 ポイント  (8子コメント)

I'm 32 and I enjoy his videos.

[–]ConfusedTapeworm 38 ポイント39 ポイント  (3子コメント)

How DARE you have an opinion against the popular one. DOWNVOTED!!
/s obviously

[–]PurpleMilkyWay 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Downvotes for pointing that out.

[–]OmenLW 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You forgot the /serious tag.

[–]TheLegendOfMart -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not aimed at you but I'm being downvoted because I like something that they don't, how pathetic do you have to be....

[–]theworldisyou -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Spoiler, this guys pewdie pie.

[–]Number_J -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly, they're not ALL bad.

[–]kodt -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do you also enjoy MLP?

[–]PutSumNairOnThatHair -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm 23 and also enjoy (for the most part) his videos. For me it's very hit and miss. Don't like them all, but like some.

[–]SmashMetal 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (5子コメント)

My housemate likes him.

My 20 year-old housemate.

My nearly 21 year-old housemate who is studying for a degree and is a fully grown adult.

[–]jimbobhas 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

So what? Why does it matter?

[–]DRIZZLEDUNKS 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I like a good deal of his videos as well and I'm 33.

[–]Krypton-115 -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Kill him, he can't be saved.

[–]Dire87 -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There are exceptions. And 20 is still young enough to be a general idiot.

[–]hoopera 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I still enjoy his older stuff (You know, when he actually recorded games and not stupid fucking flash games from onemorelevel.com).

I find Markiplier doing this lately, and it's very unnerving. It's a dangerous road, but I think he's pulling out of it. Might be because he's stuck at the Game Grump's place, and also that PAX was coming up.

[–]MarukiChan 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm 19 at uni with a girlfriend and a nice job. I don't enjoy all, but a lot of what he makes. Say what you will, but let that simmer.

[–]Mitchhhhhh 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have, my ex, it's one of the many reasons I'm glad we're no longer together.

[–]HiddenSecretAccount 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ok Grandpa !

[–]Princess_Cherry 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nope, back when I was a senior in high school, still had friends who liked him, still not fucking sure why.

[–]Strazdas1 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The other frustrating part is that his girlfriend is gorgeous

I find it more frustrating that he broadcast a match of starcraft with her on a bet and then tried to cash in that bet (which was that she would get naked on camera for youtube). from the looks of it, he tried to force her to undress.

[–]craze4ble 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Spot on. My 13 and 10 years old sisters love him.

[–]tacky1151 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not 14 but I enjoy his videos to an extent. I feel like I'm the only one

[–]TheAsianGamer 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm 19 and I enjoy it. I'm a girl though.

[–]curtcolt95 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I know tons of people over 19 that watch him. And they all go to University. Some people just like his humour.

[–]Dire87 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fact a: He's good looking (from a male hetero perspective)
Fact b: He's sorta famous
Fact c: He makes a ton of money

There is no reason this guy doesn't "deserve" a beautiful girl friend.

That being said, after watching a video with both of them playing games, it's clear that he doesn't necessarily need to be annoying. The annoying part in that video was actually his gf...a squealing, squeaky something...attributes I would attest to someone below 18 in any case. Also, she probably looks average without makeup, so don't cry :) She's most likely a more annoying version of many guys' gfs.

[–]Golnarth 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I couldn't stand her voice. He found his soul mate.

[–]Warlizard 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Has to be. It's all asshole / fart jokes.

[–]rad0909 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

To be fair his early Amnesia videos were pretty funny. There's a reason he became popular. Now he's sort of become a parody of himself.

[–]gymleader_brock 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Father of two kids in that age range checking in. I hate his fucking voice, and that screaming shit he does and its always playing somewhere in the backgound. I hate myself for not being able to relate to something they like it makes me feel old. I grew up playing video games. But god damn I cant stand that motherfucker.

[–]ShlodoDobbins 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You are envious not jealous. Learned this on reddit two or three months ago

[–]Killrixx 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

well prepare to have your mind blown, because I am 18 and I enjoy him once in a while.

Don't go venting about something you don't like by trying to present your opinion as facts. Please.

[–]conquer69 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (9子コメント)

The other frustrating part is that his girlfriend is gorgeous.

Why is that frustrating? and I don't find her gorgeous for sure. Pretty that's it.

[–]TheRabidDeer 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Because the only personality I have to go off of for him is his annoying youtube persona and I can't fathom an adult woman that is attractive who would find that appealing.

Also, levels of attractiveness is subjective so that is all fine and good that you don't find her gorgeous.

[–]HumanToaster 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (2子コメント)

He is stupid on camera to appeal to his fans. I'm pretty sure he's not like that in real life (not in front if the camera, making videos) and his girlfriend knows that.

[–]TheRabidDeer 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I am aware of this, thus my statement that the only personality that I have to go off of is his online one.

[–]banddude3 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

So, no one online should be dating based on that logic.

[–]MyJimmies 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You can't even fathom someone being physically attractive and having a garbage personality?

[–]Rick_n_Roll -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Jeah she isn't doing it for me either.. also the fact her voice makes me want to blow my brains out with a harpoon doesn't really help. She isn't ugly tho .. far from it .. but to say gorgeous ? nah

[–]Iwantoridemybicycle 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I enjoyed his walking dead LP, but that might be probably more because it was just a really good game overall. His other videos, eh

[–]coronationstreet -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Marzia is a very socially awkward Italian girl, she's obsessed with fashion, makeup, Japanese culture, and anything to do with the Horror genre. She makes her own money off of her own YouTube channel. From what I've watched of her, she seems like a very sweet girl, although sometimes seems like a bit of a "special snowflake" and weeaboo...

[–]Won_Doe -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The other frustrating part is that his girlfriend is gorgeous. I am a bit jealous there, though I know nothing about her except that she is pretty.

People kept saying this so I had to look.

Go to any of the bars/restaurants in any of the beach cities here in Cali and you'll see tons of generic white girls like her.

[–]jamesdkn -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You're wrong. I've seen plenty of adults who enjoy his content. They do tend to be very immature though.

[–]whispen -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good to know.

[–]Frisky_Frogs -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My SO loves his video's I cant stand him, and again! His girlfriend is pretty, but her voice is horrible, horrible as in I'd have to surgically remove her voice box if she uttered a single word in my presence.

[–]lazylore -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (5子コメント)

If his fanbase is 7-14 year olds, the advertising company don't know that, I think.

http://i.imgur.com/Nbl481Y.png

[–]TheRabidDeer 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Because that age group totally never plays any M (for US) or PEGI 18 rated games. You can glance through his facebook page and see the facebook profiles of people that like/comment his stuff. A vast majority of them are very young, that should at least give a bit of credence to the claim.

[–]lazylore 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

That wasn't really the point. The point was that marketing should at least pretend they care a little about the ratings.

[–]TheRabidDeer 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why would marketing care? They just want to sell the game, not their fault the game got a pegi 18 rating. What better way to sell a game than to appeal to impressionable kids? Did you know that cigarette companies used to advertise heavily on TV and market towards kids too? Doesn't matter that they aren't supposed to as long as they get sales. Is it bad? Yea, it is.

In this case, it is up to the parents in the end anyway so I just say whatever.

[–]lazylore 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I didn't say they care. I said they should at least pretend to care, a little bit.

[–]LordAmras -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because that has always stopped every underage boy to buy any mature game.
