I looked at the list of top 10 earning YouTube stars. That Pewdewpie fella (first heard of him on Southpark) pulled in a little less than $13 million last year. He's doing as well as many A list movie stars.
Maybe it's his version of walking around a city with a semiautomatic rifle strapped to your back for no other reason than it's legal.
I made the mistake of Googleplexing him after the Southpark episode. I lasted 5 seconds watching his "work". YouTube then bombarded me with suggestions for his stuff for weeks. His work is awful, but that dude is making some insane coin on his garbage so good for him.
Some of those who say speaking Islam on a plane is a bad idea are also those who'll still carry a gun into a Levi's.
