First it was the printers and now a PewDiePie fan has hacked the Wall Street Journal
Welcome to Inform Overload, Im your host Johnny Rogers and if youre new to the channel, we
find the most interesting news stories on the internet and we make them more entertaining
For a very long time the Wall Street Journal has been an opponent for PewDiePie and apparently
a fan has taken matters into their own hands.
The fan hacked into the Wall Street Journal claiming to offer an apology on behalf of
the news outlet.
On one of their affiliated sites a sponsored post was edited into saying they would - like
to apologize to PewDiePie and that he was - misrepresented - by their journalists.
This person is a legend, they even put in a note saying that the Wall Street Journal
would sponsor PewDiePie so that he could take down T-Series for most subscribers.
A representative from the Wall Street Journal told the Verge they had launched a full investigation
and that the page was owned by Wall Street Journal.
Custom Solutions, a unit of the advertising arm, which is not affiliated with their newsroom.
It didnt take long for the Journal to remove the hacked page, but still allow it to be
read through their internet archive.
Without the editing of course.The battle between the Youtube creator and this mainstream news
outlet began when in February of 2017 the Journal investigated PewDiePies channel to
point out his use of anti-semitic language.
This led to Felix losing countless opportunities including being dropped by Disney.
Like I said in the beginning this isnt the first time that hackers have leaped to help
out PewDiePie.
Before this they hacked a series of printers to print out sheets telling people to subscribe
to PewDiePie.
Again - amazing.
This motivation and the motivation of the most recent hacking comes from this subscriber
race between PewDiePie and T-Series.
Beyond hackers though he has had full support from much of the YouTube community including
Mr. Beast and Justin Roberts who took out Times Square billboards for sub to pewdiepie.
This new hacked apology though comes after much of the mainstream news outlets attacked
Felix when he recommended an anime review channel that embedded anti-semitic lingo into
its videos.
PewDiePie has addressed this on his own stating that he is the last person who would want
to involve himself in more controversy and apologized saying that he removed the link
to the channel and even the mentioning of said channel because he was unaware of this.
Although that didnt stop news outlets from continuing their hunt for the YouTube creator.
Its nice to know though that there are hackers out their using their superpowers for more
noble causes.
In a tweet PewDiePie put out after the article was posted he said - WSJ joins the fight vs
tseries - followed by - lol they deleted it, WSJ is still on angery list.
I would love to see the stats because after that tweet I bet the Wall Street Journal had
more viewers in a day than their whole year combined.
With that I want to turn a question over to you - Do you think the mainstream media needs
to ease up on Felix or are they in the right to criticize him.
