These people become famous and they make good money. Pewdiepie is another. If I can die without hearing that dickehad’s voice again, I’d be happy. Some of these YouTube celebs are all right, they actually try to educate people but most of these guys are just obnoxious fucks.

I know that well enough, I just never got Pewdiepie’s schtick before became another one of the new faces of Youtube, and the shit he pulled since then made me glad I didn’t. I’m not even against Lets Play folks (I haven’t heard or seen anything similarly bad about Markiplier, for one).

It just feels like the infamous Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory seems to work even after anonymity is removed, long as you get an audience big enough.
