With Jack Black’s sudden move to create a YouTube channel many people have been making comments such as “fuck pewdiepie sub to jack black”. The difference between the two however, and the reason that keeping pewdiepie at number one is important, is because pewdiepie is an independently made channel. He was a college student who built a name for himself mostly on his own. Pewdiepie does now have editors but for a while it was just him, pumping out 2 videos every single day. Jack Black is starting this with already being a big name celebrity, and T-Series is a full on company. Both have the funds, fans, and means to reach number one without having to work too hard. Yes you can argue that pewdiepie has done bad and questionable things, and I’m not denying that at all, but YouTube is a place for creators to post original content and make a name for themselves, and if a company or celebrity is to take that the number 1 spot for subscribers then it takes something away from YouTube being for original content creators.
