I'll explain step-by-step
1. There is a website that has people say anything you want for $5. They typically have a special 'theme' to them as well- one person may dress up as santa, jesus, etc.
2. Pewdiepie said screw it and thought he'd two dudes to say "Death to all Jews", with a message saying "Subscribe to Keemstar" appearing on the video.
3. The two dudes actually did it, and he uploaded it.
4. Everyone started calling him a nazi and antisemitic. Neonazis ended up supporting him, so that didn't help.
5. Media chose to pounce on the topic, cause logic.
6. Disney/Youtube cancel shows- everyone is celebrating.
7. Pewdiepie apologizes, makes it clear he doesn't support antisemitism or neonazis. Unfortunately, it seems like you can only completely love or hate a person. I don't support what he did, but calling him antisemitic/nazi is pretty low...
