Should we really care about that guy's opinion?

    He still has the 10th most subscribed channel on Youtube, him endorsing Linux is huge due to the reach he has. His video has 3.2 million views, other content creators are making their reaction videos to his video. You don't have to like him to see how big this is for Linux.

    I honestly think a lot less if Linux at this point... Not because of him, but because of comments like this, and the upvotes they have.

    Fuck Linux.

    From what I know, pewdiepie 2025 is nothing like old pewdiepie. Used to review memes, now makes vlogs with his wife and kid while enjoying new life in Japan. Basically retired

    This guy has a major following. He could be the next world leader because of brain rotted voters. I have seen kids obsessed this guy, like he could do no wrong. Now those kids are adults. That is pretty difficult to ignore for me.

    I'd take him over Trump if those were the choices in an election I had a say in tbh.

    Wouldn't take him over someone with experience and sane policies, but definitely better than the MAGA folks.

    Apparently he's Swedish, so he's ineligible. I have no idea what his policies are.

    Swedes who move to Japan are in my experience pretty damn far-right leaning (as in, wants to be able to wear their SS cosplay uniform and wear swastika pins in public).

    Ok, this is frankly racist and immensely stupid. If you are going to judge him, do it based on his character. You have plenty of things to criticize about him, but him moving to Japan is not an issue. Jesus...
