I have to admit, I would definitely give him a blumpkin.
Lol, how? Cartoons didn't exist before the age they were created.

It's all love for people in videogame industry until they become more successful than some deem fit (this guy and Notch for starters).

Good for him. I don't watch his videos anymore, but the dude is definitely doing something right to be able to hit such a huge milestone. He must've definitely struck some sort of gold years ago to be able to gather up such a large fanbase. Again, props to him.

I didn't mean in your example but general terms. Someone from the old generation is always talking about how bad the newer one is. You're doing that now with pewdiepie like people did when they saw looney tunes back in day.

Making effects, adding effects, making sure the audio levels are okay, messing with all the dynamic options in audio to make it not sound like ass like normalization and compression and all that stuff, ducking, converting file types, screwing around with the options of the video editing program because there's a decent chance something will go wrong (ESPECIALLY if you're playing PC games).
A lot of people seem to think that the recording program will do all the work for you (me included before I started). lolnope, everything is a mess when it's done recording and it's your job to make it not a mess.
Hell adding subtitles for a funny montage video is a fucking nightmare and takes forever. Ain't no program that does it for you, you gotta manually add each word and make sure it syncs with the audio.

He seems like a nice guy, so fair play, good hustle etc, but this is one phenomenon that leaves me baffled. I've never seen something so insubstantial get so big. It's bizarre. I understand why bad pop music or Hollywood movies get so popular, but this stuff eludes me, his clips are just... nothing.
An "incalculable" number of views on YouTube used to be any number larger than 2^32 (~ 4.3 billion). Since last year that ceiling is lifted to 2^64
The benefit of hindsight isn't necessary to see that there's a lot more artistry and originality going into the creation of a Looney Tunes short than a video of PewDiePie reacting while playing a game.
People thought celebrity gossip magazines were stupid trash when they first emerged. Guess what, we still think that.
4 million a year for making videos on the Internet? His costs must be almost nothing. That's an incredible amount of money.

The kids sure do seem to like him. I have absolutely no idea why.
No one in my age group can stand listening to him for longer than five seconds.

So on average, every person on earth has watched him more than once.
Once your settings are dialed in, provided no one messes with them before the next recording, things should be pretty effortless from that point onward. You can set up timelines, audio presets, etc. to just drag and drop elements, then render and you're done.

I'm not a big fan of his videos but I can understand why people like him and I'm really happy for his success.

He is Pee-Wee Herman for today's internet kids. I prefer the talking chair, flashing magic screen and Cowboy Curtis but that has more to do with me being old than any imagined difference in the sophistication of the two. He could really use some puppet friends though, dude seems lonely.
He knows how to make a system work.
because it's kind of sad

I know how is that even possible? It can't be right. It just dosnt seem realistic, for example; that one in 10 people on Earth have watched 10 of his videos.

I've watched a bunch of his videos, back when he was doing Happy Wheels. Always cracked me up.

1. I didn't know they were supposed to be actors.
2. the sole factor of being actors doesn't necessarily mean they have talent.
Not a fan yadayada, but I've seen some early swedish interviews with him a long time ago and he just seems pretty likeable as a person based on those.
I also got this video linked to me yesterday and found it really funny. He's quite charismatic and I enjoy the videos where he's more himself and less the screaming persona.

I absolutely loathe his content but I'm proud of him.
I cannot fathom why people hate this guy, he has such a positive attitude and is a decent role model considering the medium.

Well he is definitely right about us Swedes not being able to get offended. We just generally don't give a shit what people think of us. I think stuff like this for instance is hilarious. If you make a stereotypical joke about us and a Swede tells you it isn't funny, that guy probably votes for The Swedish Democrats and you are free to keep ridiculing him on behalf of the rest of us.
You know what's crazy?
This channel about toys is pretty close. It has the third most views on youtube (EMI music is #2), all the other channels in the top 10 are music channels.

Congrats to him. 
He's entertaining millions of people, kids especially, and he's making a lot of money in the process. That's cool.
He seems like a really nice guy to me, and though I'm not a big fan of most of his videos, some of his videos are pretty funny in my humble opinion.
