Reasons YouTubers keep imploding, from a YouTuber
I&#x27;ve been watching Youtube vids for a long time (well relatively, like 10+ years) and it&#x27;s one of my primary forms of entertainment.<p>It has been very interesting to see youtubers come and go, a lot of them seem to burn out on the schedule of trying to produce content regularly, which I can understand, anyone who&#x27;s edited videos would realise the time it can take to produce something of good quality.<p>Pewdiepie is an interesting case as he&#x27;s far and away the biggest &quot;real&quot; channel on youtube (i.e. not VEVO or one of the generic youtube channels).<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vidstatsx.com&#x2F;PewDiePie&#x2F;youtube-channel" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vidstatsx.com&#x2F;PewDiePie&#x2F;youtube-channel</a> gives you an idea of the size, he regularly gets 5-10 million views a day!<p>The controversy seems very click-baity to me, I read the articles and watched his response videos.  It seemed to me that he made some pretty bad taste comments (if you&#x27;ve seen much of his content that shouldn&#x27;t be a surprise) and the WSJ deliberately sliced it up to take it out of context and produce the most sensationalised headline possible.<p>All reminded me of the quote generally attribued to cardinal Richelieu.<p>&quot;If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.&quot;
