## Bio

Felix Kjellberg registered PewDiePie in 2010, posting Let's Play videos of horror and action games from Gothenburg. His channel became the fastest growing on the platform in 2012-2013, hitting most-subscribed on 15 August 2013 and most-viewed from late 2014 to early 2017. He diversified into vlogs, comedy shorts, formatted shows, and music videos, starring in YouTube's first original reality series. In 2017, a Wall Street Journal article alleging antisemitic themes in his content triggered media scrutiny and severed business partnerships - he called the humor misunderstood and the reporting unfair. After a public subscriber race with Indian label T-Series in 2018-2019 (which he lost), he pivoted back to gaming, riding a Minecraft boom to record viewership. By the 2020s he'd moved to Japan with his wife Marzia, uploaded sporadically, and stepped back from YouTube as career - over 109 million subscribers, but the platform had become a hobby.
