TOKYO JAPAN: With around 111 million followers on Youtube, Felix Kjellberg aka PewDiePie needs no introduction! Although currently, he has taken a temporary break, he's been under constant limelight. Back in 2022, the streamer revealed his biggest concerns with young children becoming famous on YouTube, during a chat with Ken ‘CinnamonToastKen’ Morrison.
On the video-sharing platform, PewDiePie and Ken have been uploading content continuously for several years now. 'BroKen' is a series that the two started on MLG TV not long after they launched their YouTube career, and they have since recorded it together. The duo’s 37-minute collaboration during that time titled ‘Spoiled Kids Needs To Be Stopped’, ultimately showcased the children of mainstream celebrities and how much their parents spend on them.
'I’ve criticized those types of creators'
On the topic of young children becoming YouTube famous, the duo seemed to have a problem with it. The two were baffled when they learned about Prince George's life and realized how much money Prince William had given his son. CinnamonToastKen brought up the subject of watching YouTube famed children with his family just after the video had finished, saying, "We always avoid the ones where it's a kid playing with toys."
To all of this, PewDiePie responded, “Yeah, those are weird. I’ve criticized those types of creators before and they acted like such victims about it.” The YouTuber also voiced his opinion of Ryans Toy Review, with a video back in 2017. The YouTuber continued to express his opinions on if a child is making more money than the parents, and how it could create problems. He said, “you’re gonna put this crazy pressure on the kid to keep performing, even though they may not feel like they want to.” CinnamonToastKen said that he always hears, "but they're having so much fun" from parents of YouTube famous children, yet both creators believed that frequently it may truly be the child wanting to be praised by their parents.
'Pewds' hatred for kids breathes life into my system'
A year ago when the video was uploaded, fans flocked to the comment section with mixed reactions. A user wrote, "Actually cried of laughter at the thought of you two skipping the queue in front of kids at DisneyWorld." The second user wrote, "I'm sure Felix will love his child with his whole heart with Marzia He's definitely become a good father and educate his child very well." The third user, "Petition for Felix and Ken to start their own podcast together. Their bantering is hilarious!" The fourth user wrote, "Pewds' hatred for kids breathes life into my system and I love it." The fifth user wrote, "I swear rich kids always look so much older than they are. That really rich Sweet 16 girl looked like she was in her mid-20s."
