PewDiePie whose name is Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg actually started the Youtube trend of video game commentary now followed by many of the Youtubers.

PewDiePie: Early life, education, and career

PewDiePie or Felix was born on  24 October 1989 in Gothenburg, Sweden which makes his nationality a Swedish.  He was born to his Swedish parents Lotta Kristine Johanna and Ulf Christian Kjellberg. He also has a sister. As a child, he had a lot of problems succeeding academically and would often skip schools to play video games at home. But he somehow graduated from Göteborgs Högre Samskola and then went to the Chalmers University of Technology at Sweden to study industrial economics and technology management.

However, he did not complete his University degree as he dropped out and started selling hot dogs at a restaurant while also making gaming videos. As his interest was also in  Photoshop he often would take part in photoshop contests that led him to a job offer at Scandinavia which he turned down. Eventually, he sold his photoshop prints to buy a computer where he would later make videos.

In the year 2010, Pewdiepie made his first video online which was about a video game itself. The content on Pewdiepie’s channel was mostly related to video games and his unfiltered commentary while playing those games. By the year 2012, PewDiepie hit 1 million subscribers. Often his content has been abrasive, honest and nevertheless controversial sparking a lot of news. Similarly, by 2013 he had around 6 million subscribers and eventually 10 million becoming the most subscribed YouTube user. He even beat YouTubers like Jenna Marbles, Smosh, and many others on the list.

 

By 2016, his channel had gained 50 million subscribers making his channel the first channel to do so. The content on his channel has changed after that and Pewdiepie makes less video game commentary videos while focusing on other types of videos which includes reactions and humorous content.
