T series is one of the most hated channels on youtube right now.
And thats saying a lot.
T series doesn't really get involved in youtube drama.
They've never responded negatively on their channel to the feud between them and pewdiepie
because they're so big they don't care.
T series is a corporation and production studio that creates bollywood music and movies and
posts them to their channel.
T series is essentially the indian version of the Music channel.
So Why do so many people dislike a channel that just posts music?
Well I'm going to tell you, right now on IO.
Welcome back to informoverload, we do the news and we make it entertaining.
I'm charlotte dorbe, hit that subscribe for more trending news updates that will make
you stop what you're doing and click, and follow the IO team on instagram.
So dont freak out, we're going to try something a little different, something new.
I know people dont like change but we are always lookign for ways to improve this channel
for our subscribers.
Because you guys are so interested in certain topics, we want to try doing lists so that
you can learn even more about a particular topic and we can get creative and make longer,
even more interesting videos, if you can imagine that.
And one of the trending topics on this channel pretty consistently lately is T series and
their feud with pewdiepie.
I've always wondered why t series is so disliked by so many people.
And i know that there are multiple reasons.
So, in no particular order, without further ado, here are 10 reasons why t series is so
hated.
The first reason why t series is so hated actually goes back to when the feud between
pewdiepie and t series began, in september of 2018, when the first live stream of t series
begann.
Then, also in september of 2018, ethan of h3h3 production uploaded Pewdiepie Versus
T Series, where ethan disrespected indian culture as well as t series content.
After doing this, ethan recieved widespread criticism and ended up apologising, but the
hate train was already leaving the station.
Reason number 2, It looks like t series is going to beat pewdiepie in subscribers.
they are gaining susbcribers at an extremely fast rate, so fast that they are on track
to surpass pewdiepie in subscribers.
Pewdiepie's 93 million susbcribers dont really like the idea of another channel being the
most subscribed channel.
Pewdiepie is an OG youtuber who has been on the platform for 7 years and gained subscribers
fairly, organically.
He's an inspiration for many, he started from literally nothing.
Everyone loves an underdog story and Most people love pewdiepie, i mean he does have
93 million subscribers.
93 million people are subscribed to him because they like his content, regardless of how some
others feel.
But the idea of someone else being the most subscribed youtuber after pewdiepie has held
the top spot for so long is not an idea that mos tpeopel can come to terms with.
It should be noted that Music is already the most susbcribed channel on youtube.
And if you add up all T series channels and count their subscribers, they have surpassed
100 million subscribers.
But its the principal, goddamnit!
Reason number 3.
They are a corporation.
T series beating pewdiepie is proof that youtube is becoming more corporate.
YouTube is moving further away from content creators, and moving toward advertiser friendly
corporation.
I mean what ever happened to the you in youtube.
There are a number of reasons why this sucks.
It makes those with the dream of being a successfull youtuber feel like their dream is unattainable.
Youtube becoming more corporate means its becoming mainstream.
Youtube used to be this wonderful underground subculture that was single handedly driving
trends and culture.
Now its become about the man, and whoever has more money.
Reason number 4.
Unfair favortism.
This kind of ties in to my last point.
YouTube's algorithm favors channels that upload consistently.
As in channels that upload multiple videos a day, as opposed to just one a day or one
a week.
2 good examples of this are the channels Bright side as well as 5 minute crafts.
Both channels gained 10 million subscribers within a couple months, and why is that?
well its because youtube loves channels that upload mutiple videos a day.
This is next to impossible for a single creator to achieve.
Its youtube's way of favoriting corporations as opposed to individual creators.
Reason number 5.
People hate t series because of pewdiepie.
now before you go and get mad that i'm calling out pewdiepie, hear me out.
I am well aware that pewdiepie has treated the fued with t series as somewhat of a joke.
Actually not somewhat of a joke it is a joke.
Its a meme.
Pewdiepie's apparent distaste for t series is largely tonge and cheek comedy.
He's not being serious.
But this feud has actually helped his subscriber count skyrocket.
Pewdiepie has said multiple times that he doesnt care about being the most subscibed
youtube channel, but that doesn't mean people take his diss tracks and sarcastic hatred
of t series seriously.
A huge chunk of pewdiepie's subscribers are kids, kids who'll blindly jump on that hate
train.
I'm not saying its pewdiepie's fault that t series is so hated, but you have to admit,
if pewdiepie wasnt making videos about them and the feud wasn't so publicised, no one
would even care about t series.
And it should also be noted that pewdiepie has made fun of indian people and indian culture
in the past.
Of course, these are jokes, and should be taken as jokes, but that doesnt mean that
people don't use these jokes as a facilitator to justify their hatred.
There will always be good and bad people in every community.
But out of 93 million susbcribers there definitely are a few bad eggs.
Reason number 6.
Sub bots.
There are many who believe that its impossible for t series to be gaining subscribers at
such a fast rate without cheating.
This has lead many to think that T series buys fake subscribers.
But if t series did buy fake subscribers, youtube would have deleted them.
Youtube regularily does purges of inactive accounts, they've done a couple since the
feud began, and both pewdiepie and t series lost subscribers.
Furthermore, t series gains subscribers at a gradual rate.
If they bought subs, there would be spikes on their analytics not related to viral videos.
People in india are subscribing to t series because its where they are getting free music.
And people in india are gaining access to the internet at unfathomable rates, thanks
to cheap data plans provided by the mobile company Jio.
Reason number 7.
Content.
Lets face it, a lot of people dont like t series videos.
Its not a youtuber in their videos, its a compilation of bollywood music and movies.
There are a lot of people who love bollywood, and that extends to people who dont live in
india.
Its a really popular genre.
But there are also people who dont like bollywood at all.
Not to mention the fact that t series music videos are really repetitive.
plus the cringy special effects, acting and editing.
So its confusing to many as to how a youtube channel that posts quote 'bad' content is
neck and neck with one of the most prolific original content creators on the platform.
I will clarify that i have no probelm with bollywood music, but its just not my cup of
tea.
Reason number 8.
T series doesnt get involved.
Have you ever noticed that t series has never really responded in videos to pewdiepie?
Ceo of t series bhushan kumar was quoted saying that the feud has actually helped their channel
gain subscribers because it essentially put them on the map for people who dont live in
india or people who arent fans of bollywood.
Maybe if t series did something to respond to pewdiepie and his fans, the tables would
turn.
But most of the hate is directed only at t series because pewdiepie is the only one addressing
the feud on youtube out of the two of them.
I dont know if getting involved in the feud would enflame the situation and result in
more hate directed toward them or less, but the fact that they dont get involved and they
just ignore all the hate because they are so big just makes people want to pick on them
more.
its kind of like when you're dealing with a bully.
Most of the time people tell you to ignore your bullies, but in my experience, ignoring
a bully doesnt work.
It just make them see you as an easy target.
But....that leads me to my next point.
Reasaon number 9, and this is quite new.
The lawsuit.
While t series has not gotten involved in the online feud, what they have done is open
a lawsuit against pewdiepie, where they want Pewdiepie to take down his diss tracks on
t series, specifically Bitch Lasagna and Congratulations.
We actually did a whole video on this, if you wanna watch that it's clickable on your
screen right now.
Essentially T series is arguing that the tracks are offensive and racist against the company
as well as india.
people love both these diss tracks.
If t series wins this lawsuit, its unlikely that we'll ever get to listen to them again.
Reason number 10, Racism.
I'd hate to say it but its not a point that I can ignore.
Pewdiepie has brought making fun of indian people into the mainstream.
Dont believe me?
look at the song lyrics in bitch lasagna.
You india you loose.
I got 9 year olds of rolls so hold your defacation.
Your language looks like it came from a mumble rap community.
Look at titles like you india you lose and show bobs and vegana.
Look ok, show bobs and vegana was a really funny video.
But just because it was funny, and just because pewdiepie making fun of ofther peoples cultures
is funny, there are some that take things too far.
Indians started making hate content toward pewdiepie after hate comment on indians was
being uploaded.
