Good to know, he's trash and it was about time for his downfall.

Wasn't there an on-going joke about Disney hating Jews ?

Wonder if this files under "I am a rich idiot" or the world is too sensitive.

Waaaaaait.... Pewdiepie had a show on Disney Channel??? Pewdiepie was cool  years ago with his happy wheel and skate videos. I haven't watched him in years. I hear he switch to vlogs and doesn't play games anymore.

He had a show? I suppose as long as he can make youtube videos, he should be okay. Though, this will no doubt damage his image, quite a bit.

Walt Disney was an anti-semit himself. The Disney Company doesn't follow his view, obviously.

A downfall isn't happening, it's just he is not directly associated with Youtube and Disney anymore. He still has a ridiulously big channel that earns him millions a year. Just checked his last video, posted three hours ago and has 500k views

Yes, he can still monotize videos on Youtube. The anti-semitic ones have been removed by Youtube. I doubt that any well known company will make a contract with him after that incident.

I think I saw earlier he has a net worth of around $124m, so he will be alright I think.
