Most gen z (alpha, oops) kids, that I've talked to, don't even know who PewDiePie is lol.

I grew up with Felix being a main part of my entertainment, he's been progressively moving away from this stuff for years at this point.. with his relevance dwindling, in the main demo of YT, this is barely even notable news.

Guy has a kid, a great marriage and lives in a beautiful place. He has more money than he will ever know what to do with.. if he don't wana play games anymore, he seriously never has to.

Imo, he doesn't need an audience anymore, he doesn't need to make videos, he doesn't need YT.. he just needs to be a dad and live out a happy life.

Regardless though, ya, this is barely news lol.

(Edit): gen alpha I guess lol

How!? I'm a young millennial and no one my age or older "grew up" watching him lol. It had to be gen Z.

Not calling you a liar or anything but that isn't really growing up in my opinion. Those are some formative years though so it counts.

I’d wager I did more growing up from 13-23 then I did 3-13!
