The most popular and subscribed YouTuber, PewDiePie has disabled the comments on his page.
Real Name, Felix Kjellberg, celebrated his YouTube channel’s 30 millionth subscriber during the week by announcing that he was making a massive change: from now on, that he was disabling his comments forever.
Felix is most popular for his video and mobile game based content. His popularity is fueled by his video and mobile game-based content, his personality and his relentless efforts to stay in touch with his millions of followers.He is a celebrity that engages with you, most of which was on the comments section at his videos.
Recently PewDiePie, along with many other YouTubers have been plagued with spam and irrelevant comments making YouTube, as it stands now a very poor medium to interact with the viewers.
“To me, it doesn’t mean anything, like I don’t care about it,” PewDiePie said in a video posted to his channel last week, referring to the spam, self-promotion and offensive comments he has seen. “I don’t want to see it.” Felix kept the focus on his fans mainly indicating that his “bros” had a major impact on the decision. “I just feel like you bros weren’t really there,” Mostly, he said, when he scrolls through comments these days, he sees “spam, people self-advertising, and people who are trying to provoke.”
Although this isn’t the first time that he has disabled the comments, having done so last year after YouTube unveiled the new comment system that integrated with the Google+ profiles, it does look like this might be a permanent gesture.
This big announcement did catch the eye of some very important people. YouTube were hot on their heels in arranging a discussion with Felix to see how they can improve the comments. YouTube in recent years have received damning reviews about their comments system from various YouTube celebrities quite publicly so it would be interesting to see where these talks go.
