I think it's connected to a more general phenomenon though. Pewdiepie has 111 million subscribers on YT and gets like 3-5 million views per video. Like 95% of his subscribers don't watch his videos.

I've subscribed to a bunch of people on Youtube whos videos I no longer watch.

I think Youtube's UI "encourages" this behaviour even more as it has a highly algorithmic homepage rather than a feed of people you follow.
