The problem is that they need to come up with something for him to do: parting with $10 a month (or persuading your parents to) means that viewers don’t just expect more in terms of quantity, but more in terms of quality. It’s only natural, then, that the site’s first steps into exclusive pay-wall territory should feature Felix. If you’ve ever delved into the world of YouTube, or even read a news story about it, you’re almost guaranteed to have heard of him. He’s the most popular creator on the site and one of the wealthiest too. The vlogger, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, has become synonymous with YouTube. Scare PewDiePie is one of four exclusive titles for YouTube Red subscribers and it stars – you guessed it – PewDiePie. Now, the first of those projects have arrived. Last year, though, saw the site launch its own subscription service, YouTube Red, which charges customers $10 a month for no adverts, offline downloads and exclusive content. This week, it’s YouTube Red original Scare PewDiePie.įor over 10 years, YouTube has existed quite happily on the Internet, streaming videos to any old – or, more specifically, young – person who comes along.

Kjellberg paid content creators on a freelance website called Fiverr. The videos are no longer available on PewDiePie's page, but the said videos have attracted around 23 million views before they were taken down. One of the offensive videos featured two Indian men holding a sign that reads "Death To All Jews." The other videos featured the Nazi anthem, swastikas, and a Hitler speech. The Wall Street Journal spotted nine videos with anti-Semitic content. PewDiePie's YouTube channel is still up and ads are still live, but advertisers might opt out and keep a distance for a while from Kjellberg. It is still not clear if Season 1 of Scare PewDiePie will be removed. YouTube might also take a hit as its YouTube Red service leans on stars such as PewDiePie to win subscribers willing to pay $10 a month. PewDiePie is the highest-paid YouTube star with $15 million in earnings in 2016, according to Forbes. PewDiePie has more than 53 million YouTube followers, and the setback should put a good dent on his earnings.
