it's been a busy time;

lot of stuff has happened;

got myself a bad haircut. I thought I'd do an update vlog,

'cause there's a lot of stuff I wanna talk about

so please sit down and listen

and shut the fuck up

we did the Cringemas livestream with revelmode

it was so much fun, did you watch?

let's do a highlight

Jack in video: "wait"

Mark: "wait"

Jack: "Did we-"

Jack: "WE HIT OUR GOAL!!"

*WHQODKASDLjlsjCHHDJSxkjoDKOASK*

so we raised 1 million 3 hundred-

OVER 1 million 3 hundred thousand dollars

towards RED which is a charity

based to stop AIDS

also, thanks to youtube who donated $100,000

and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which matched

a million dollars

I'm very proud of that and I'm proud of everyone involved

but also, we gained A 50 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! :D

it happened all at the same time, I didn't- it was so weird

the craziest weekend

Jesus Christ

50 MILLION

I know it's cliche as hell for me to say this-

but I never thought we would hit that number

part of me is like:

"y'know, it's just a number-

really all I care about is that you guys watch my videos and-

that's what really matters."

bUT AT THE SAME TIME

50

MILLION

FUCK

YEAH

SUCK MY DI-

damn did I go fast- it went fast

it happened at that same time as my channel was dying

thank god

think about that if your channel is dying just pull a PR stunt and you're-

you're fine again

'cause it looks like now youtube fixed my channel. I don't know what happened

I wanna talk about that as well

there was a lot that I wanted to say in the video where said I was gonna delete my channel

or when I was supposed to do it

I didn't really get the chance 'cause I just-

that video needed to be funny

otherwise everyone would kill me

but basically

would I delete my channel?

have I thought about it?

ser- in a serious way?

yes

I have

like I said before

it's just numbers

and I really do care about that you guys are- you guys just watch my videos

that's the main important thing for me

I know it's like a meme that youtube is a job and we're all just overpaid and we shouldn't complain about anything

WHICH IS TRUE

I think being number one on youtube-

or being a youtuber in general-

it comes with a price

that is kind of hard to explain

without just sounding like;

"oh boohoo your life is so hard"

I don't think there's a point for me to even get into it but

it is true

and a lot of times I feel like it would be nice

to just be a normal channel

y'know

I have a huge amount of respect of what- for what I do

I wouldn't just throw that all away lightly

y'know even though it might not seem like it I-

I really care about every single video I make

I make sure it's the best it can be

I do daily content after all so y'know there's-

only so much you can do with that

I take it very, very seriously

I think a lot of people don't realize that because I have this weird silly swedish

guy persona or I'm just an idiot

which is also half true y'know it's an extension

of my personality

just know when I talk about like this

I'm not really usually being serious

which also seems like ANOTHER THING that people don't fucking understand

the main thing about- that a lot of people- the- the media especially

didn't seem to understand about the deletion video

was that

I wasn't complaining just for me.

it wasn't me just saying, "oh youtube I am not making enough money, fuck you."

I thought I was standing up for

not just myself but

everyone else on the platform

'cause something clearly changed and youtube is turning against it

and we can't really do much

else but to raise our voices about it

people might say "ok well pewdiepie he's- he's got a good living" wha-

what do you think youtube is? do they just have the right to screw everyone over? I don't think so

I don't think their, their intention is to do that by the way

my point was more like-

"I need to stand up for this,

this is an issue that needs to be addressed"

but I- apparently I can't do that without sounding like

*OH-HOH-HOH*

*HUNNGH*

to people

that's- that's how I took the medias

taking my response

it's really stupid

really

un, irresponsible I think

I'm not the most responsible as well so I probably shouldn't talk

so far I have not gotten a decent update or answer on what had happened

I haven't got,

uh, gotten an answer on what is going on

no one has I think

really gotten a-

a decent answer

which I'm kinda frustrated about

I-I know I'm gonna talk to them soon again

and I hope I will have a- a better answer

if anything there's- for youtube to learn from this is that they need to have a better dialog

with their users

they need to

have

less

just

specific dialog with different youtubers

they need to talk to all the youtubers not just the top guys

and if there's anything us youtubers need to learn

or creators is that we need to be more clear with what

we're saying- I think a lot

"the rants" or the "youtube, fuck youtube" videos

do they really help?

I don't know

complaining about youtube has just become a meme

I can imagine it's hard for youtube to see all this and be like

"ok well

what is really true?

what is really just a rant and what is really going on?"

it seems so messy

and I think it's not going- going anywhere

I'm just trynna criticize us really

I don't wanna just shit on youtube

whatever youtube's goal is

I support it

ok, I'm not trynna

turn my back on it

but I do think if they talked to the users what it is

they will get there faster ok, just tell us

talk to us

I've been getting tired of saying that

now

the media

the media's reaction to me deleting the video was the absolute dumbest thing

I have ever seen

and I- don't get me wrong I don't hate the media

not all- some- most of it

ok most of it

my message got destroyed

whatever I said in that video

they took whatever piece they wanted from that

and it was ridiculous

I made this other video that was very articulate

and very clear what the problem was

but no one talked about that video they just took the first video I did

which was just like half satire, half comedy

and they just took pieces out of that

which is ridiculous

so that's why I really enjoy that video where I make fun of them a little bit

'cause it was so stupid. and to put it in perspective

we raised over a million dollars to charity

not a single one posted about that

not a single one of those article mentioned it

even mentioned it

I think that says a lot

I'm not saying they're obligated to talk about whatever we raised for charity but

it's interesting how it never even got mentioned

I think that just says a lot about how media works

y'know

too many times

I've been a punching bag

uh for the whole situation- for for what they're doing

anyway

so I was glad how it turned out

I hope- did you want me to delete my channel?

are you disappointed now?

I AM SO SORRY

OH BOOHOO POODIEPIE DIDN'T DELETE HIS CHANNEL

maybe you need another hobby then ( like doing cc's :( )

I'm glad a lot of people were happy that I wasn't deleting it at least ( me :) )

I'm really glad I don't have to answer the question now

"wai- are you really gonna do it pewds!? are you really gonna do it!?"

I also wanna just take the time to just say thanks to everyone involved in the cringemas

charity livestream with revelmode

I wanna thank Mark for flying over and Amy, it was really fun hanging out with those guys

a bit more, every time that I meet Mark I just meet him for one day so I never really got a chance to hang out with him

but it was really fun

I really enjoyed it

uh Jack,

and Signe for flying over as well of course

so fun to meet those guys

it's just- we had a great time

UHM OF COURSE PJ

for helping out the charity

he's a beautiful man ( true )

don't like- I don't really like him though

*HUH-HUAH*

( I'm kidding )

and Emma of course. apparently people were mean to her in the comments, so-

Emma, don't listen to anyone, you're great :)

you're so good :))))))))

Uhm, thanks for everyone that worked on that charity and helped out

I'm really proud that we managed to hit our donation goal

AND THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT DONATED ♥

it was amazing!

it was really cool to see it

these are the things I'm really proud of

and i'm very happy i'm able to do these, uhm, positive things with what i do

NOW

MOVING FORWARD: WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN??

well- I'm not deleting

well actually I aM

AT A 100 MILLION WE'RE DELETING THIS CHANNEL!!1!

100 MILLION

CAN WE DO IT!?

A HUNDRED MILLION!

the haters better start subscribing now

'cause otherwise we'd run out of people

I feel like I'm barely getting-

I'm just getting started

I think I will keep doing youtube as long as I feel like I have more to give

and I really feel like I still have that in me

uh I think that's the most important-

important thing for me, and-

I know Casey Neistat recently stopped vlogging and in a way I understand, now, why...

'cause he said he wasn't because he was tired- he was more, like, creatively exhausted

I think doing the same thing

over and over it really wears you out and I think that's why it's almost like you get a different pewdiepie each year

uh that's why I've changed so much

because that's how it's interesting and fun for me

and I really still enjoy it that way

um, so

I'm not planning to go anywhere ( good )

but I enjoy the fact that you guys thought I was ;)

it was cute ;))))))

other than that

thank you so much for supporting what I do it really means a lot

especially when so much-

I don't wanna say hate but-

negativity seems to be, wanna, surround what I do a lot of the times

despite the fact that I don't think I do that much bad, okay-

it's just how it is I guess

so thank you ♥

it means a lot

it really does
