Felix Kjellberg, popularly known as PewDiePie is widely known for making and posting videos of himself on YouTube playing popular games on his desktop and giving reviews to them as well - recently shook the internet after posting a video of himself stating that he will be deleting his YouTube Channel if his channel "PewDiePie" reaches 50 million subs. (His channel "PewDiePie" has more than 45 million subscriptions that time)

Before he announced that he will delete his channel, he let out a few words of complaint about YouTube and site's sudden changes and how the changes are affecting him and all the other YouTubers. He mentioned about how the site's changes are trying to kill his channel - that it's disappointing as his great videos can no longer be appreciated by the many people because of YouTube.

"I know you're going to think I'm joking right now, but I'm going to delete my channel. I swear to you, at 50 million subs, a huge landmark coming up, a huge deal, never been done before, no-one's even close, I am deleting my channel.

Unsurprisingly, the famous YouTuber actually reached 50 million subs and true to his words - as devastating as it sounds, the man deleted his YouTube channel according to Gamespot, *sad emoji* except that the funny and cute as ever Pewds, deleted his secondary account Jacksepticeye2. *YAY!* This is according to

On the 9^th of December, the 27-year old YouTuber twitted on his official twitter page announcing that he will be deleting his channel the next day at 5pm gmt. Fans flooded his tweet saying that knowing Pewds, this could be one of his practical jokes. Fans were arguing over his tweet saying that PewDiePie did not mention deleting his main account "PewDiePie" and he might delete his second account that has fewer subs and videos, which was right! PewDiePie was actually trolling all along and deleted his second youtube channel, based on a news report from Kotaku.
