Too big to fail. I mean any other smaller streamer would have long been permabanned for all the nazi and misogynistic stuffs he did

Banned, or not recommended by the algorithm?

That’s too bad. He could have used this opportunity to promote a platform different then youtube. I believe most of his videos include how much he dislikes YouTube. So, there must have been quite a financial incentive to stick with YouTube. Or, he worried about losing his fan base.

A deal like this would likely be worth half a million at least. Perhaps even a couple billion.

That escalated quickly!

I'm working on my second billion!!!

(I gave up on my first.)

Always have to give a low enough lower bound and high enough upper bound that your estimates are correct!

He already did. He promoted "Dlive".

I love how we're slowly bringing The Fifth Element into reality.

It's amusing that YouTube will go so far to keep him, considering that PewDiePie's early videos are filled with misogyny and hatred, and he was almost single-handedly responsible for the adpocalypse three years ago.

Profits, at any cost.

Adpocalypse? Nazis? Misogyny? Are these actually founded accusations or are they like the same ones that were hurled against Joe Rogan when he said he supported Bernie?

None of that is real. But it seems posters want to parrot what cnn told them without doing any research themselves.

Feel free to go out and look at his video backlog, or look the well researched and documented Wall Street Journal article from 2017 and form your own views.

Misogyny, just go back in his history and listen to his early videos.

For the other two, I recommend looking at the Wall Street article (or the videos he produced) about him paying people to hold antisemitic signs, and how that article coming to light prompted advertisers to start withdrawing their support from YouTube.

It's all out there, do yourself a favor and look.
