PewDiePie will now live-stream exclusively on YouTube

What's the story

Swedish YouTube star Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, will now live-stream exclusively on YouTube, as per a new deal.

Felix's return to live-streaming on the Google-owned streaming platform comes one year after he switched to a rival company.

The 30-year-old continues to remain the most successful independent creator on the platform, with more than 104 million subscribers and 25 billion views.

Details

He had joined Dlive for live-streaming in 2019

While no details about the deal's financial aspects have been revealed, it's possible that YouTube would have spent a fortune in getting Felix on-board, given the popularity he commands on the worldwide digital space.

After he joined rival live-streaming platform Dlive in 2019, Felix gained an impressive 822,000 followers there.

Earlier this year, he also took a short break from making YouTube videos.

The rise and controversies of PewDiePie

Felix is the second most-subscribed YouTuber, next only to Indian music label T-Series, which has 137 million subscribers.

His content mostly comprises live game commentary, vlogs, animated comedy shorts, and reaction videos.

However, his rise hasn't been without controversies. In 2017, his videos were found to carry anti-Semitic references and imagery. In another instance, Felix apologized for using racist insult against a fellow gamer.
