He uploaded over 3k videos to youtube. I'd love to know wha efforts those who complain have made to better their lives before bashing PDP.

Another fun fact is that youtube is global, offering equal opportunities to everyone, so you can't complain about inequal opportunities and privileges. Start your own channel and upload 3k videos then complain about how your "zero efforts" brought you no money.

He's a performer, and he has to be able to take harsher criticism. For all I know, he could be a great person, but I hate his videos with a passion because of the way he acts in them and because there hasn't been much substance to the video I've seen from him. I think I have the right to express my opinion about his videos, in a way not that unsimilar to his right to create those videos. I can express my wish for him to delete his channel, but it's his choice whether he does that or not - and I fully support it being his choice.

I am sure he has videos saved anyways

You have every right to express your opinion dude, I never said nobody does. I don't consider anyone saying "Delete your channel" as any form of valid criticism though as it doesn't tell anyone what they're doing that make the other person not like them or their content. Plus no entertainer will ever be able to please everyone no matter what. Like I said, there will always be people that don't like certain things and that's fully fine since it's their opinion.

You've said that you don't like his content for the way he acts in them and that you don't see much substance in them. You've at least given reasons there and are fully entitled to feel that way since it's your own opinion. But in having your own opinion you also have to see though that there are other people who have the opinion that they do like his content. So saying you want him to delete his channel just because you personally not might like it, despite knowing that a bunch of other people do like it, is what i'm trying to say here that is different from simply saying you don't like it. It comes off more as like "Well I don't like it so that means nobody else can like it and I want it to be removed!".

I don't see what's so difficult in saying "Well I don't like this thing, but I see that other people do so I suppose i'll just ignore it" and not request or hope that it be removed entirely for everyone, even those that do like it. 

Like, i'm not even insulting or trying to insult anyone by saying I feel those posts are embarassing to read. I just don't see what's so hard about just not watching or paying attention to it then. Him having that channel and making videos, whether someone likes them or not, does not affect anyone's life in anyway. I just don't see why people feel the need to constantly write posts like that if they feel that way about something when it would be so much easier to ignore it. 

I've never watched a video of him but know well of his exploits, the man is a genius who has become a multi-multi millionaire from Youtube, there are many thousands of Hollywood actors who will go their whole lives and never be a part of a cast as costly as Pewdiepie's earnings.

Massive respect for him playing the game not unlike the way John Cena has done in the WWE, if you're buying a "I hate Cena" or "lets go Cena" tshirt from wwe.com it's all Merch sales for the one guy, it's the exact same when "haters" watch his videos and leave him negative comments, they're all feeding into those millions of dollars he gets.

Youtube Genius, regardless of the "quality" of his content, it is content which is worth many Millions of dollars.

But I didn't tell him to delete his channel. I just said I hope he does it. There's a difference.

I know a lot of people like his channel. I think I still have the right to say I wish he deleted his channel, and I don't think it's in bad taste either. Now if I actually had the power to delete his channel and I did, that would be in extremely bad taste - and I know I wouldn't do it. The way I see is that wishing him to delete his channel is just a strong expression of opinion. It's probably not an expression I would use if I knew he was listening because it's not constructive in any way, but because he's not listening, there's no need for my opinion to be constructive.

He can delete it and if he requests youtube will restore it for him. As if it's never been gone. I believe he'll delete it and do this. From working with youtube it's happened many times. They bend their rules for the big channels.

I love it. He's telling Youtube that they're not infallible with their algorithmic changes and constant anti-content creator acts. One that particularly gets to me is denying Philip DeFranco from being on Youtube Rewind for not supporting a Presidential Candidate. Youtube is just shooting itself in the foot lately and Pewdiepie is sticking his neck for his fellow creators and for that I can't denounce what he's doing.

Well I personally don't really see how it would change anything based on whether he was listening or not since in the end of both you're still saying you hope he deletes his channel, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. 

And yeah dude, everyone has the right say whatever they want lol. If you truly dislike his content enough to where you would want him to delete his channel entirely because of it, then sure I guess it's just a strong expression of your opinion. Your fully entitled to think however you want, just like how some people do like his content and don't want him to shut his channel down.

I'm not trying to say you have no right to think that or hope that he deletes his channel, I just think anyone simply saying "Delete your channel" offers nothing and isn't really valid criticism as it's a pointless phrase, it says nothing about why that person doesn't like him or his content. But I know you weren't simply saying delete his channel, so I don't mean you specifically in that case I just mean people that write things like that and offer nothing else. You at least gave reasons as to why you don't like his content. 

It really is just a matter of opinion in the end. The way I see it is just that if I dislike something, as much as I might dislike it I can still see that other people like it, so I personally think of it as "Well they can go ahead and like it then, but i'm not gonna watch it". 

This.

I have never been able to understand what is so appealing about this guy and his content.  To each is own I guess.
