I love this new arc of pewds, unimaginably based. I'm actually interested in watching his videos now after a looong time. The last three tech related ones were great.
Accurate once again
That boy doing so much work for privacy and linux communities. I love it!
Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
Man I want to move to Graphene so bad. I want all the google ripped out of my phone.
Move to Lineage OS or Calyx OS
Don't be fooled by the Graphene OS Mafia
Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.
Edit: I noticed it's not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.
There is the expected amount of negativity in the comments, but also more positivity than I expected.
I watched the video. I am not really a fan of the style, I don't agree with all of the content. But damn, a big influencer is using his reach to talk about retaking privacy and control in your online life. It can be such a difficult subject to pitch without sounding crazy. I think the video existing is great and pushes general awareness in the right direction.
Other than hearing his name, I've never seen any of his content, nor do I know any of his lore. If in fact, he once was and has now changed his core convictions, then great. I have no issue with anyone who changes their minds in light of new evidence, or after taking inventory of one's life, and deciding a new route. Both are commendable. Lord knows we've all done some shit in the past that was definitely cringe...I know I have. But we grow, and we learn, and in the process we become better human beings.

I'm loving Pewdie's redemption arc
There's no redemption arc because he literally never did anything wrong. His content was always family friendly
i don't want to watch pewdiepie, can someone explain what's his beef here
He switched to linux a while back. Now he's trying to switch as much of the rest of his digital life to FOSS/non-profit stuff. He advocates for duckduckgo, firefox, paid email, graphene os, selfhosted vaultwarden, nextcloud, anything but google maps, kodi, etc.
Just downloaded it and skimmed by frames... Seems to be a list of reasons to degoogle. Mentions privacy, security, and how Google is extending fingers into everyone's privacy by browser, password manager, wallet, phone, etc.
Guy's an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.
Really didn't like him when he was younger, he was a naive swedish kid that didn't realize that the dumb shit he said online had ramifications because his audience was so big. He helped platform Ben Shapiro to a younger generation when he had him on his channel for a video, he had that scandal where he said the n word, and then of course the clip where he says the glass ceiling doesn't exist. It's clear to me he didn't realize the cultural and political ramifications of that stuff in America because he was never really exposed to it growing up in Sweden, and he was a cocky 20 something that thought he knew everything.
I hope these days he's realizing how idiotic some of that shit was and is actually trying to use his platform to make his viewers aware of valid issues rather than spouting off about topics he knows nothing about to his viewers who take his word as truth.
