WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.331 Oopsie doopsie (Oopsie doopsie) 00:00:03.331 --> 00:00:07.770 I'm oopsie doopsie and oopsie doopsie, woopsie. 00:00:19.689 --> 00:00:21.630 Good evening, I'm Gloria Borger 00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:30.980 I wasn't planning to make another, video about this, but then Vox went ahead and published not one, but two articles about PewDiePie. (Teh) 00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:34.049 I'm so sick of this guy! Vox owns The Verge... 00:00:34.049 --> 00:00:38.420 Which means that this is actually the third video in a week that they post 00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:41.460 smearing him as an anti-semite and now white supremacist. 00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:43.600 Wow, they must really like this guy. 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:44.340 *Laughs in Swedish* PewDiePie's ties to white supremacy spell serious trouble for the future of YouTube. 00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:57.060 Ignoring that incredible headline just for a moment, if you think just for a second they picked a photo where I'm 00:00:57.400 --> 00:01:03.360 blinking as the main photo for this article as a cheap attempt to make me look as bad as possible, 00:01:03.820 --> 00:01:10.650 uh, then you're wrong, okay, this is actually how I record all my videos and, uh, in case you're new to my channel 00:01:10.650 --> 00:01:12.650 it's just the thing I do, okay? 00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:14.760 *Laughs in Swedish* So not sure what happened here, well, 00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:19.520 let's read some headlines to investigate because that's the best way in the world to get your facts 00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:22.200 "PewDiePie promotes Nazi Propaganda..." 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.600 "YouTube Star PewDiePie Promotes Channel With Anti-Semitic Content" 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:29.000 "PewDiePie gives shout out to hateful, anti-Semitic YouTube channel" 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.820 "PewDiePie's ties to white supremacy spell serious trouble for the future of YouTube" 00:01:33.820 --> 00:01:37.960 Here's what I actually said in my shout out video: 00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:41.500 E:R who does great video essays about, uh, 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.493 he did one on, uh, Death Note which I really really enjoyed. 00:01:44.493 --> 00:01:46.620 So what actually happened a quick rundown 00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:48.330 I already explained in another video 00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:53.760 But I was getting so many subscribers, that I thought it would be nice for me to shout out to some smaller channels 00:01:53.890 --> 00:01:59.699 It was at the end of the video and I shouted out 28 channels. Now, this was clearly my mistake 00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:03.280 I should not have picked that goddamn many channels because obviously 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.479 I'm not gonna go through every single video in their past like two year 00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:11.099 old videos just to make sure that maybe they said something that doesn't align with 00:02:11.260 --> 00:02:14.790 myself. One of them featured Nazi imagery and jokes and 00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:18.749 that's why I decided to remove him from the list and then ended it out of the video 00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:25.320 I think most people would be pretty sensible about a mistake like this keeping all these things in mind, but oh no no, 00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:29.339 Oh, no no, that's not the case it led to an absolute barrage on Twitter 00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:33.600 I don't think I've gotten this much attention on Twitter since, uh, since The Wall Street Journal thing 00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:35.520 They must have really thought they had me this time 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:41.080 I don't know people making these it was insane claims about me saying I shepherd 00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.200 legions of 14-year-olds to neo-Nazi content 00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:44.430 It's an anime review, 00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:46.580 that's the main point of the video. 00:02:46.580 --> 00:02:49.140 Love that PewDiePie pretty much openly says "I'm Nazi". 00:02:49.460 --> 00:02:53.720 If that's me openly saying I'm not see it's a pretty goddamn cryptic way to put it. 00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:55.720 This, uh, developer from Ubisoft said 00:02:55.720 --> 00:02:57.000 "Enough is enough!" 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.500 "Gaming industry I'm going to need you to end this dude" 00:03:00.500 --> 00:03:04.340 "You know exactly who you are..." "Cut ties with him... NOW" *NOW echoes in background* 00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:10.180 Don't worry. She's just spreading her positivity guys. Please don't be mean, this is just spreading positivity. 00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:14.580 Now she apparently removed that she's working for Ubisoft after this. 00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:16.260 So, I don't know if she actually got fired or not. 00:03:16.260 --> 00:03:20.920 Bum, Bum, Bum Bah-Bah-Bah Bah, Bah, Bah-Bah-Bah Bah, Bah Bah Bah-Bah 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:27.040 I responded in my first video saying that I didn't actually know these references and basically, oh well, this was pretty dumb. 00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:32.760 I'll delete him from the recommendations. That's pretty much all I can do at this point, thinking that would be it. 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:38.080 But oh no no, oh no no, the number one argument that was constant. 00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:44.760 I've seen this argument being thrown around constantly on Twitter and in media and I'm just gonna use Huffington Post as an example. 00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:48.100 But so many people have been using this argument 00:03:48.100 --> 00:03:50.840 against my defense saying I actually didn't know. 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.820 "PewDiePie's Excuse For Promoting Racist" 00:03:52.820 --> 00:03:54.820 "YouTube Content Includes More" 00:03:54.820 --> 00:03:56.120 "Racist Content" 00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:00.680 Saying that, okay, maybe he didn't know about the 2-year old videos and the videos on his other channel, 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.800 saying that, well the video that he recommended had 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:04.600 , uh, 00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:09.870 jokes about Heather Heyer's death in it and making fun of an autistic black guy. 00:04:09.870 --> 00:04:13.140 We have him now boys. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. 00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:14.960 The video pointed to Heather Heyer. 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.480 How could he, I don't know who this is. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be disrespectful. 00:04:18.820 --> 00:04:21.540 I honestly genuinely have no idea who this is. 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:23.400 I know about the Charlottesville's incident, 00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.640 and I know someone died there. 00:04:25.640 --> 00:04:29.900 And basically The Verge wrote this as well as saying that there was aerial footage of the moment when 00:04:29.910 --> 00:04:35.880 a car drove through the crowd of people during the white supremacist led unite the right rally in Charlottesville last year. 00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:40.200 So this was the video that I recommended specifically, I get it. It sounds pretty bad. 00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:46.020 But let's just take a second to watch what that footage look like, "That victim will die of a heart attack." This is 37 minutes into the video. 00:04:48.580 --> 00:04:50.849 "And then she will die by being struck by a car" 00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:51.480 "However" 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.289 "there's too much *Blank* in the way for a car to hit her because the situation is" 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.480 "Impossible and that's the cause of death as well." 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:03.270 "The woman would die of a heart attack. Death flicks didn't get far enough into reading the rules on the Wikia page." Now 00:05:03.270 --> 00:05:03.750 obviously 00:05:03.750 --> 00:05:09.720 I blurred the footage not because I don't want to show it but specifically because I don't want to instantaneously transform 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:17.700 76 million people into Nazis, which is definitely what's going to happen. If anyone sees that footage, obviously, I didn't know about this footage. 00:05:17.700 --> 00:05:21.779 I think most people outside of the United States don't know about this footage. 00:05:21.780 --> 00:05:26.489 I tested it out on a couple people just to make sure I wasn't crazy but that was the case. 00:05:26.490 --> 00:05:30.810 No one know about this footage and E:R put it in there as a joke. 00:05:30.940 --> 00:05:37.380 It's extremely edgy and an inappropriate joke and I would not have publicly recommended this video if I knew about it. 00:05:37.380 --> 00:05:42.809 But the hidden reference of it, it's the joke. That this really a horrific footage 00:05:42.850 --> 00:05:50.669 most people won't even recognize it that that's in there without most people recognizing it, is the joke. Secret Nazi jokes, everyone. 00:05:51.370 --> 00:05:58.149 They've been around for literally, since the age of the Internet. And, oh, sorry and even just showing this footage pushing for that 00:05:58.150 --> 00:06:05.440 this is white supremacy is that this the reach is still very far? This guy followed up with saying to the trolls. That's right 00:06:05.440 --> 00:06:11.020 if you criticize someone, you're a troll! They're saying PewDiePie didn't know who Heather Hayer was. Last year 00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:17.710 he tweeted about a photo of white nationalists marching with tiki torches saying this, "These guys clearly watched one too many PewDiePie vids." Now 00:06:17.710 --> 00:06:19.690 I don't remember tweeting this at all to be honest, 00:06:19.690 --> 00:06:25.029 but I did remember tweeting was this, I don't have a high-res photo because I have a bot that deletes all my tweet. 00:06:25.030 --> 00:06:30.369 It's a long story. "Dear Nazis: Stop looking so identical to me. You're really not helping my case." 00:06:30.370 --> 00:06:38.020 This image that Huffington Post used for the Charlottesville's rally just look strangely a lot like me. 00:06:38.390 --> 00:06:42.399 That was all I joked about. This doesn't prove that I knew that aerial footage. 00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:47.710 It has nothing to do with it. The second argument was that in the description of the video, 00:06:47.710 --> 00:06:52.569 it had a racist, edgy, joke. That's right, the description. How could I have been 00:06:52.570 --> 00:06:55.179 so stupid? The thing that everyone checks constantly. 00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:59.170 So these two facts is what most people have been using online as evidence against that, 00:06:59.170 --> 00:07:05.860 "Oh, he knew, he knew what he was doing, okay." It's like, "Oh, well, he made Nazi jokes in the past. So 00:07:06.460 --> 00:07:11.220 obviously, he's 100% guilty." It's like logic conveniently gets thrown out the window 00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:17.320 uh, for the sake of lambasting me and it's just, you're really just exposing yourself for having idiotic 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.830 ideas and cannot look more than two second deeper into an issue. 00:07:20.830 --> 00:07:25.779 Does all of this really justify calling me a white supremacist by the Vox? 00:07:25.940 --> 00:07:32.200 When have I ever expressed myself in that way? Now, looking at the Vox article, uh, because it's hilarious. 00:07:32.690 --> 00:07:37.089 They can't first of all can't even get my name right, I get it, It's really hard writing is hard, 00:07:37.100 --> 00:07:41.740 it's not expected from journalists. "PieDiePie" "PewDiePew" 00:07:42.200 --> 00:07:43.300 (Glorious chuckle sent from the heavens to bless us with it's presence) 00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:47.460 Vox said talked in this article about my alliance with the alt-right. 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.610 This is something I've been accused of before and have said, no, that's not true. 00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:56.739 They mentioned the alt-right 29 times in this article. It's almost like they're 00:07:57.280 --> 00:08:01.760 obsessed with these things. So what are the evidence that ties me to the alt-right according to Vox? 00:08:01.940 --> 00:08:06.700 Well, get this guys, I don't even know if I should bring this up because I don't know if 00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:12.880 I want to expose myself to this hard-hitting evidence and facts that they got me with. I reviewed 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.820 Jordan Peterson's self-help book. 00:08:15.820 --> 00:08:16.980 *Sigh* 00:08:16.980 --> 00:08:19.280 First of all, Jordan Peterson is not alt-right. 00:08:19.340 --> 00:08:24.920 He's another figure that the media doesn't like, so they label him as alt-right as a way to discredit him. He's 00:08:25.020 --> 00:08:27.180 repeatedly 00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:32.180 disassociated himself with alt-right personalities and second of all, reviewing a book, 00:08:32.890 --> 00:08:35.249 doesn't mean anything. It's not proof of anything. 00:08:35.910 --> 00:08:39.059 It's literally a self-help book. It's the least controversial thing 00:08:39.060 --> 00:08:42.570 I've read in so long. The second argument that Vox had or evidence, 00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:49.950 that I have ties to the alt-right is because I followed people on Twitter that they deem alt-right such as Ben Shapiro 00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:54.089 And Laci Green, among others. That's right 00:08:54.090 --> 00:08:59.069 Laci Green alt-right hero everyone. You remember that? Her sex educational videos. 00:09:00.070 --> 00:09:03.270 Deep-diving Nazi imagery. You just got to dig a little deeper. 00:09:03.270 --> 00:09:06.060 Very hidden references, way more hidden than E:R's. 00:09:06.060 --> 00:09:08.060 "lol according to Vox, being followed by @pewdiepie makes you alt-right" 00:09:09.629 --> 00:09:13.400 So what if I follow Vox, does that mean Vox is alt-right? 00:09:14.590 --> 00:09:18.480 Can't wait to see your response to this Vox, I basically have you in a corner now 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.450 (Demonic laughter raised from the depths of hell to win over our minds) 00:09:19.450 --> 00:09:23.460 So apparently the journalists of this article of this reporter 00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:26.519 thought to herself, "You know what, this is, uh, 00:09:26.520 --> 00:09:32.790 I wrote some garbage today, but you know, what, not dumb enough. I need to make it even more stupid. 00:09:32.790 --> 00:09:39.940 So she went to Twitter and wrote, "As an addendum to my two recent articles on the potential for serious extremist 00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:48.380 radicalization that PewDiePie and his 76 million followers represent on YouTube..." Everyone who's watching this video, everyone that's subscribed to PewDiePie 00:09:48.400 --> 00:09:49.920 represents serious 00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:51.840 radicalization, 00:09:51.850 --> 00:09:57.089 extremist radicalization. Seems like a pretty fair description. I mean, the views of this, uh, 00:09:58.030 --> 00:10:03.119 reporter comes across pretty clear when it's not through the editorial framework and, uh, 00:10:03.790 --> 00:10:11.309 she basically says that, "a kind reader pointed out this recording of a stream in which PewDiePie plays Pavlov with a player." And 00:10:11.830 --> 00:10:15.150 it's this guy with a, I don't know how to explain it, it's this guy with the 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.120 parody of a Jew image and, 00:10:18.670 --> 00:10:20.230 uh, 00:10:20.230 --> 00:10:23.670 Jew mocking name basically. This person is so stupid 00:10:23.670 --> 00:10:31.380 I honestly genuinely feel bad for her, "Whether or not he knew, he apparently hangs out in gaming communities where it's possible to 00:10:31.560 --> 00:10:35.200 game with people using anti-Semitic slurs and avatars. 00:10:35.740 --> 00:10:36.640 (The chuckle of Ying and Yang, perfectly balanced to bring both good and evil) 00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:43.580 It's a public video game and I didn't even interact with this guy. It's like holding me accountable for going outside and 00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:49.440 having the views with other people. I've even seen this clip a hundred times. I didn't even notice the guy's name. 00:11:05.380 --> 00:11:07.439 I think it's such a great example of 00:11:07.660 --> 00:11:13.770 me being painted as an anti-Semitic and me being painted as a Nazi, when all I'm doing is playing video games having fun. 00:11:13.770 --> 00:11:16.079 I didn't see this guy. I watched it a hundred times, 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:21.449 I never saw this guy and even then, I have nothing that doesn't prove anything. Maybe PewDiePie 00:11:21.450 --> 00:11:26.819 didn't realize this was an anti-Semitic handle or he did but didn't care enough to exit the game. I 00:11:27.640 --> 00:11:31.409 should have done the right thing guys. I should have just exited the game immediately. 00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:35.800 This whole thing, this a giant guilty by association? 00:11:36.580 --> 00:11:42.800 Reviewing a guy's book, ah, how could he, playing in a public video game, ah, following someone on Twitter? 00:11:43.540 --> 00:11:47.940 Just cause you interact with someone online doesn't mean you endorse all of their views. 00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:54.780 That's such an incredibly stupid thing to think. She even pointed out that the harassment I've got any response from PewDiePie supporters 00:11:54.850 --> 00:12:00.930 especially bears out all the points being made in the second article. Being criticized is not harassment. 00:12:01.450 --> 00:12:06.989 Finally, I wanted to take a look at the bigger picture here, you know, this controversy has more or less passed at this point, 00:12:06.990 --> 00:12:13.770 so what really were the effects. The main thing that I got criticized for this shout out was how incredibly 00:12:14.020 --> 00:12:16.020 irresponsible it was for me to 00:12:16.620 --> 00:12:21.100 recommend this channel. And in a way, I can understand at least that argument. 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:28.920 But people saying that I was shepherding legions of 14-year-olds towards neo-Nazi content. And The Verge saying that a hundred and fifty new thousand 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:36.500 subscribers, which is just blatantly false. It was fifteen thousand. Who some of whom may be extremely young 00:12:37.020 --> 00:12:44.620 turning into anti-Semitic hateful content, appointing people to certain channels especially ones built on hateful content further 00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:52.320 radicalized young viewers on YouTube. That was the effect of this. Now, this is just blatantly not true. Even if you watch E:R's videos, 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.030 yes, they have very edgy jokes. 00:12:54.030 --> 00:12:57.599 And I'm not here to debate it, of anything about who he is, 00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:02.910 but the main point of these videos at least you could argue, are not about these 00:13:03.010 --> 00:13:06.510 political issues and I think that's why you went over my head, uh, 00:13:07.180 --> 00:13:10.530 to recommend this channel, because I'm just here for the sweet anime. 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:11.100 Okay? 00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:17.910 That's all I really care about, but regardless of that, twelve thousand people subscribe after me recommending this channel. 00:13:17.910 --> 00:13:21.149 And then it was immediately dipping after that. You can see it here, 00:13:21.150 --> 00:13:26.459 it was going down, but then the media comes into the picture, they mention him in every single article 00:13:26.460 --> 00:13:30.389 I've seen, they bring up E:R's channel. And there you go, 00:13:30.430 --> 00:13:32.849 he gets fourteen thousand subscribers. 00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:39.900 E:R should really honestly just thank the media for giving him more a bigger shout out than I did. I'm extremely irresponsible. 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:47.580 You are aware of the damages that you are saying it's costing but you're causing more damage. It's the basic strives and effect of 00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:54.059 the more you try and cover something up, then the bigger it gets and they're not, they're not unaware of this 00:13:54.060 --> 00:13:58.590 it's pretty obvious that they know how this works at this point, but people don't care, people 00:13:58.590 --> 00:14:03.059 just want to be outraged online. People just want to get clicks online and it's the same thing with these, uh, 00:14:04.030 --> 00:14:07.079 articles. Finally I wanted to end on, uh, on, uh 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:15.060 notes about why I think Vox is going after me, and it's not me saying this is concrete evidence to why, you know, 00:14:15.060 --> 00:14:18.500 I definitely have made mistakes and, uh, I 00:14:18.760 --> 00:14:23.720 I deserve to be criticized when I mess up, but I think part of the reason why I, me especially is getting so much, uh, 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:30.880 I don't know what to call it, slander, it's because, uh, I have more influence than a lot of media outlets. 00:14:30.900 --> 00:14:38.279 That's not me flexing, again, that's a fact, and they hate that. The Wall Street Journal posted earlier this year, 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:39.850 I know Wall Street Journal. 00:14:39.850 --> 00:14:43.760 Uh, "Vox Media On Pace to Miss Revenue Target as Digital Advertising 00:14:44.020 --> 00:14:48.980 Disappoints". The expected Vox media shortfall is another sign that the digital media 00:14:49.140 --> 00:14:54.020 industry is struggling to adapt to the reality that online ad growth is becoming harder to come by, 00:14:54.610 --> 00:14:56.699 especially as tech firms such as Facebook, 00:14:56.980 --> 00:15:01.889 Google, and Amazon corner the market. And one concern for Vox media, much like other digital firms, 00:15:01.889 --> 00:15:06.779 is that revenue from sponsored content isn't growing as fast as it once did. Ever since the year 00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:11.969 2000, a newspaper advertising revenue in the USA has just completely plummeted. 00:15:11.970 --> 00:15:16.920 I mean 50 years of progress is completely went out the window. According to the Guardian, 00:15:16.920 --> 00:15:21.200 It's estimated that every dollar spent on advertising in the western world, 00:15:21.249 --> 00:15:23.399 90 percent of that goes to Google and Facebook. 00:15:24.009 --> 00:15:27.868 90 percent. Keeping that in mind, you have the biggest creator on YouTube. 00:15:28.209 --> 00:15:31.799 How can we make him and YouTube look bad at the same time? 00:15:32.050 --> 00:15:36.629 PewDiePie ties to white supremacy spells serious trouble for the future of YouTube. 00:15:36.629 --> 00:15:40.409 I don't mean to get into, oh, this is why, I obviously don't know. 00:15:40.410 --> 00:15:42.279 I think this headline makes a lot more sense 00:15:42.280 --> 00:15:45.660 keeping these things in mind. A lot of people point to my controversies at 00:15:45.880 --> 00:15:51.920 stunts as something that I deliberately do to boost myself and my brand to get more subscribers. PewDiePie 00:15:51.928 --> 00:15:54.380 endorses controversial anti-Semitic views to gain subscribers; 00:15:54.999 --> 00:15:59.279 stunt backfires big time. That's right. It was a stunt to recommend a channel. 00:15:59.800 --> 00:16:07.140 Another article saying, why, why has YouTube's biggest Star not being cancelled yet? We cannot keep letting him get away with this! 00:16:07.140 --> 00:16:08.760 Why is no one stopping him? 00:16:08.760 --> 00:16:15.360 The reason why, despite all my controversies that I'm still so popular is because fans know who I am. 00:16:15.400 --> 00:16:18.880 The people who actually know my videos and know me, 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.220 know that all these things that people say in the media just aren't true. 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:28.439 And when I have made mistakes in the past, I've apologized and moved forward from it and moved on from it. 00:16:28.439 --> 00:16:34.498 My fans don't look at the world with the insane lens that everyone is an enemy that needs to be publicly destroyed by running these 00:16:34.499 --> 00:16:40.609 articles about me, smearing my name and calling me white supremacist, calling me racist. You are 00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:45.170 watering down the definition of these words, by keep calling me all these things, 00:16:45.630 --> 00:16:53.059 these words will no longer carry the same meaning and in a way you are doing these people that are actually racist and, uh, 00:16:54.060 --> 00:16:58.250 anti-Semitic, a favor and I don't doubt that there are racists an anti-Semite in the world. 00:16:58.250 --> 00:17:00.250 But you're looking at the wrong places, 00:17:00.470 --> 00:17:05.839 and people know it. You are also hurting your own brand and as a news outlet you are just losing your 00:17:06.120 --> 00:17:08.630 credibility because people know this isn't true and 00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:14.869 that's probably the number one thing you'd care about protecting, as a media outlet. Is that what you're saying 00:17:14.870 --> 00:17:19.579 the check is actually true? What you're saying is actually unbiased but you spell it out 00:17:19.579 --> 00:17:24.048 so clearly that that's not the case. Fox doesn't allow comments on their articles, 00:17:24.049 --> 00:17:27.918 gee, I wonder why. If you go on Twitter and check the replies, 00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:31.680 the response is pretty unanimous and that's even coming from 00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:36.500 people that are fans of Vox, saying "as a left winger and fan of many of Vox's productions, 00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:42.200 I've become every time more disappointed with articles about PewDiePie's ties to the alt-right, it's just thin connections being 00:17:42.990 --> 00:17:46.760 extrapolated over and over again. This isn't not me picking one, 00:17:46.760 --> 00:17:49.609 if you go through it's the general consensus from these 00:17:49.860 --> 00:17:56.209 articles. The more the mainstream media talks about me, the more I just gain from it, and that's not me benefiting from controversies, 00:17:56.210 --> 00:18:02.929 That's because people know these are smear campaigns and people are tired of it. People can't stand these articles anymore. 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.850 You can kick and scream, "Ah, PewDiePie's a Nazi!" all you want but it's not going to change that fact. 00:18:07.850 --> 00:18:10.280 But I think most importantly out of all this. 00:18:10.800 --> 00:18:14.720 The number one thing that I want people to take out of this is: 00:18:15.060 --> 00:18:21.460 Subscribe to PewDiePie. That's right, PewDiePie now at 77 million 00:18:22.280 --> 00:18:26.500 subscribers, I'm gonna rate Vox media a zero. 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:29.480 I'm Gloria Borger. 00:18:31.120 --> 00:18:32.780 And this is Gloria Borger out.
