i agree

 

[Chase]

Agreed, too.

 

[Chase]

Have you heard about the gunman's "subscribe to Pewdiepie" comment?

 

[Morgan]

I have, and that's also a reminder that at some points, a person's own brand is out of their control.

 

[Zack]

Well Pewdie Pie has been linked to Nazi stuff before.

 

[Zack]

Not saying he was for the gunman, but that could be the reason.

 

[Morgan]

We talk about licensing decisions, but most times, any name is fair game on the internet.

 

[Chase]

True, all the above.

 

[Chase]

So if you're not aware, there was a 'thing' (maybe it's still going on) about Pewdiepie vs T-series (the youtube channel of the Indian record label).

 

[Morgan]

To be the most subscribed account on YouTube?

 

[Chase]

Yeah, so the whole "Subscribe to Pewdiepie" comment probably stemmed from that.

 

[Ken U Belevitt]

that's out of people still believing they can influence and enact real change onyoutube
