PewDiePie takes a last shot at the T-Series as he concedes defeat

Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg ended today at his jarring multi-month war with the mighty Bollywood T-Series group by publishing a video clip featuring a series of personal confessions and charges brought against his rival.

The video, "Congratulations," accuses the T series leaders, including President Bhushan Kumar, of multiple wrongdoing. Kjellberg refers to Time of India Article, according to which Kumar is currently under investigation for "alleged escape of a huge tax and siphoned hundreds of millions of crores to foreign countries to buy real estate on behalf of his employees". The edge has contacted the T series for comments.

Kjellberg also reveals that T-Series sent him a letter of termination and abstention after the publication of his original title against the company, "Bitch Lasagna". Kjellberg released the video around the beginning of the war between their chains. accumulated a little less than 170 million views. He uses the letter of cessation and disclaimer to talk about the problems that people who post notices on videos that they see as defamatory, but they are not. Kjellberg has dealt with legal issues with videos in the past, including people sending copyright strikes or removal requests for videos that they did not like. Using "congratulations" for both revealing and expressing one's grievances with the letter of ceasing and abstaining from the T series makes perfect sense – this is the way he has responded to his concerns in the past.

These are not all accusations and shit jokes, though. "Congratulations" seems to represent for him a chance to say thank you to this fan base that has got stuck and Kjellberg has become sentimental in the video as he talks about all that his fans think of him and apparently tackles the problems past related to alcohol. This is not the first time that Kjellberg is open on his channel; many of his videos resemble conversations with viewers about his mental health, burnout, and the problems he encounters on YouTube.

"So, that's it, thank you for staying with my channel," says Kjellberg in the video. "Since I am nobody, I cry against the barrels. That's it, it's an adventure. It is the end of the reign of Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg. In spite of all the change and controversy you have experienced by my side, there is no army in the world that I would rather let myself watch. It was a crazy race, so even if I can still be heard, here is a last bit of the world number one. "

Unlike "Bitch Lasagna", Kjellberg's previous piece for the T series, "Congratulations," recognizes that one of India's best-known music groups beat him by becoming the most popular channel in the world. Youtube. It's a war that Kjellberg has repeatedly said he did not care about being funny, but had been raging for almost seven months.

But while he saw it as a memory, Kjellberg fans and many creators in the community saw Kjellberg's battle with T-Series as the last fight on YouTube between independent personalities and corporations. The YouTubers were already sidelined by the dominance of late-night shows and video clips; Kjellberg was losing his reign as the platform's most successful player, it was enough to spin the YouTube ecosystem. Creators like MrBeast bought signs in his hometown of Ohio, inviting people to sign up for PewDiePie before making a similar stunt in this year's Super Bowl game; Justin Roberts, a vlogger with the Jake Paul's Team 10 Collective, bought an ad space in Times Square, also inviting people to subscribe to PewDiePie; other creators have released their cars or have achieved impressive exploits on animated data streams, on behalf of PewDiePie. A game developer has even created a platform game dedicated to battle.

It was one of the few times that the YouTube community came together almost in unison to support its own creators. Faced with YouTube, which was more like MTV than MTV, a subscription to PewDiePie became a form of rebellion against YouTube and a simple popular message. The community asked if the meme should stop as a result of a violent terrorist attack in New Zealand, during which a gunman killed more than 50 people in a live stream after saying: "Remember boys, subscribe to PewDiePie. the appellant disgusting, but never touched on his channel. Even though awareness in New Zealand has changed and many creators have moved away from it, the admiration people have for what Kjellberg has done on the site is still there, despite all his previous controversies.

At the time of writing these lines, T-Series has 88,000 subscribers more than Kjellberg. His "Congratulations" video, however, garnered more than two million views in less than six hours.
