But it’s probably best known for channels like PewDiePie, a Swedish “bro” who makes silly videos about video games like the one below. PewDiePie alone accounts for 25.5 million of Maker’s subscribers. Now he’s part of the Disney family.
Funny to think Disnney has taken some of the stuffing out to pay big bucks for something that feels so unlike them.
