Popular YouTuber PewDiePie calls out Lilly Singh for making a video about her taking
a break from her channel for mental health reasons and people are scratching their heads
as to why Welcome to Inform Overload, Im your host Johnny
Rogers and if youre new to the channel, we tell you about the most interesting news stories
we find on the internet, and we make them more entertaining.
This is a strange and crazy accusation coming from PewDiePie who has never really had any
previous issues with Lilly Singh.
He believes that she understood what would happen by taking a break from Youtube and
claims that the only reason why she did it was for more attention.
This is a very cynical approach to mental health that also calls into question why PewDiePie
would make a video about it if he truly didnt care.
He said during his Pew News - Im getting a little annoyed by it.
Im not gonna lie.
Its like shut up.
Shut up children.
Just take a break.
Sure the obvious thing for Lilly to do if shes feeling overwhelmed is to take a break,
but you also have to recognize that her loyal fan base is going to wonder where she is.
People dont subscribe to Lilly just for her videos, they subscribe for her personality
and who she is.
Therefore if Lilly is no longer entertaining her fan base she almost owes them a response
as to why.
Or maybe she just cares about her fans enough to let them know whats happening in her personal
life.
She even states several times that this video isnt meant to draw attention and she seems
sincere in saying that.
PewDiePie goes on to cite a statement from Youtube saying that channels wouldnt decline
during breaks between videos, but how can they possibly determine that.
If a channel I enjoy isnt putting out content that suits my needs I unsubscribe.
Which would then lead to a decline in that Youtubers channel.
PewDiePies main issue with Lilly is that she knew this video would be monetized and perhaps
did it because her channel isnt doing well.
However the thumbnail and the title really dont scream click bait.
Its not like she wrote the words huge announcement, no she just wrote - Ill see you soon.
That could mean anything.
Its purely meant for her fan base to understand where shes at with life.
In my eyes PewDiePie seems more worried about views and feels the need to capitalize on
other popular videos to continue his momentum.
He even mentions at the start of the Pew News that article 13 has been approved which restricts
countries in the EU from uploading game footage.
Which is essentially how he made his name.
However I dont want to seem cynical here as well by questioning his own motives for posting
about Singh.
Its quite contradictory though to say you hate that Youtubers need to monetize everything
only to turn around and make a video for monetization.
Lilly adores Felix as well and even tweeted at him when he followed her back in 2015 He
could have easily reached out to her privately and said that he didnt think that was a good
move.
Instead he just made it part of a news segment that he could also garner attention from.
If you know someone experiencing mental health issues let them know that youre there for
them, dont accuse people of having ulterior motives just be there for them.
We have to remember that were all human.
Just because Lilly Singh brands herself as Super Woman doesnt mean that shes going to
feel that way 24/7.
We need to be more optimistic with these kind of things and trust that Lilly isnt doing
this for attention.
If you really watch the video she is being genuine.
Lilly has been doing this for 8 years, we have to take a step back and realize that
everyone needs a break.
But enough of my opinion on the matter.
I want to hear from you do you think PewDiePie is right here or do you think it was reasonable
for Lilly to make this video.
