On August 25th Swedish YouTuber "PewDiePie" Felix Kjelberg passed the 100 million subscriber mark, becoming the most popular YouTuber in history. YouTube has send him a Red Diamond award marking his achievement.
Along with the award YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki also sent Kjelberg a letter congradulating him on his recent marriage to fiance Marzia Bisognin after eight years of dating.
Kjelberg took the occaision to announce that he would be celebrating the massive milestone by donating a whopping $50,000 to the Anti-Defamation League.
The sudden generosity is puzzling, given ADL's leadership role in tarring Kjelberg with allegations he has a history in making anti-semitic videos.
Kjelberg made no announcement explaining his motives for the award, which has provoked a storm of outrage and speculation online, with many fans speculating blackmail or imposition of a "success tax".
You may not know who he is but you can bet your kids do. That's why you should care.
Being an out-of-touch geriatric yelling at clouds is not a virtue.
My kids are adults, and adults don’t listen to that crap!
“Being an out-of-touch geriatric yelling” at dumbasses who know who this bozo is, is fun, though!
