It looked like all hope, was lost. 00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:24.200 It looked like it was finally it. But then-- 00:00:24.200 --> 00:00:28.540 [dramatic music] Something happened. Markiplier and Jacksepticeye-- 00:00:28.540 --> 00:00:32.640 finally showed up in the final hour, the last second. 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.320 *laughing* "I literally won't shut up until you subscribe to PewDiePie." 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:40.040 My friends who have previously been silent 00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:42.260 for a mysterious unknown reasons, 00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:45.380 finally decided to extend their helping hand. 00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:46.560 God bless you both. 00:00:46.580 --> 00:00:50.720 So yesterday we hit uh. 500-- *laughs* 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:54.380 500k subscribers. That's right. 00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:57.560 I definitely deserve this. Thank you very much, *laughing* 00:00:57.620 --> 00:00:59.180 You thought that was it, T-Series? 00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:02.980 I bet--I bet you they were sitting there with champagne 00:01:02.980 --> 00:01:06.620 ready to finally pop the bottle, "Ah geez, this has been obnoxious!" 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.020 "Ah, Jeez, this went on way longer than it should've." 00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:12.400 NOT SO FAST T-SERIES! I don't think so! 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.140 There was a ton of other creators that showed their support as well and I-- 00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:19.560 seeing it all, it's just been amazing. All the fan support, all the memes-- 00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:20.900 I absolutely love it. 00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:22.720 I know I said, and I still mean it. 00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:26.460 I don't care if T-Series passes me, but this is all too fun. 00:01:26.460 --> 00:01:29.400 I don't remember the last time I had this much fun on YouTube. 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.380 It just--everything has been insane. 00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:36.160 It all started with Mr. Beast creating the billboards to tell people to subscribe to me. 00:01:36.160 --> 00:01:38.620 Mr. Beast: "Ey! Uh, what's this one say again?" 00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:40.220 Offscreen: "Subscribe to PewDiePie for original content" 00:01:40.220 --> 00:01:41.760 Mr. Beast: "His content is SO original!" 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:48.700 Which then inspired my fans all across the world to do the same, hand out flyers, put up posters... 00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:52.300 Justin Roberts bought the biggest billboard in New York City-- *laughing* 00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:56.140 Justin: "IT'S THERE! OH MY GOD IT'S UP THERE." Offscreen: "Oh! There it is!" 00:01:56.140 --> 00:01:58.660 Justin: "We did it! We did it, it's up there!" 00:01:58.660 --> 00:02:00.660 "Subscribe to PewDiePie right now guys!" 00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:05.860 Davie504 played "B*tch Lasagna" for 10 hours straight! *laughs* 00:02:05.880 --> 00:02:14.560 [Davie504 playing B*tch Lasagna] 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.700 HackerGiraffe hacked 50k printers to tell people to subscribe to PewDiePie 00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:26.120 Definitely a worthy cause. The amount of attention this is getting is just absolutely insane. 00:02:26.140 --> 00:02:32.400 Everyone seems so caught up, everyone seems so invested to this "subscribe to PewDiePie blah-blah-blah--." 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.240 --and I honestly feel like I don't deserve it. 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:39.240 I feel really weird about it, but it's a blast nonetheless. 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.360 You've probably seen these live streams where it's PewDiePie vs. T-Series and uh-- 00:02:44.420 --> 00:02:47.200 Everyone is just so--invested into this. 00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:50.620 But there's a part of this that I really, really don't like 00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:52.760 But--and it's a shame because I-- 00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:54.840 it is a vast majority of people, 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.060 but at sometimes, in these comments--and you guys have told me this as well, 00:02:59.060 --> 00:03:03.460 you see comments such as like, "F**k Indians" or "F**k Indians 'c-word'." 00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:06.400 Just really distasteful, unnecessary comments. 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.040 And I obviously made Indian jokes and stuff like that, but I do that of all countries and-- 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:12.360 --this is is not what I'm about, 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.520 and I know my fan base isn't about this either. 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.800 I'm getting more attention now that I'll probably ever get. 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.820 And I feel really weird about it as well, so why not just take that fact and 00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:25.320 redirect it to something more positive? 00:03:25.320 --> 00:03:30.540 And show that this fan base, and this group of people can do something positive as well, because I know we can. 00:03:30.540 --> 00:03:33.360 No more, "F**k India." Let's instead help India. 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.060 Maybe you already knew this, or maybe you didn't, 00:03:36.060 --> 00:03:41.420 but there's over 10 million child laborers in India between the age of 5 and 14, 00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:44.740 and even more between the age of 15 and 18. 00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:51.840 Almost 23 million. That means that almost 1 out of 10 kids in India are working. 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.120 Now, this is mostly in rural areas, 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:59.800 but this means that, a lot of kids in India are missing out-a chance for a proper education, 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.400 and a chance for a proper future. 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:06.540 That's why I decided to create a fundraiser for the charity called "Cry." 00:04:06.540 --> 00:04:10.900 "Cry" is a charity that focuses on making a better future for kids in India. 00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:13.060 The reason I picked "Cry" as a charity, is because 00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:16.680 they recognize that just rescuing these kids won't be enough. 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.040 So they instead work on identifying the root causes for these issues to solve them. 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.560 Children, for example, work mainly to help their families, and because there's a high demand for child labor. 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.280 But Cry setups strategies to prevent these issues, 00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:33.020 and uproot them to build a better future for all of India. 00:04:33.020 --> 00:04:36.580 I think it's a great cause. I would highly encourage you to donate. 00:04:36.580 --> 00:04:38.840 I created a fundraiser down in the description. 00:04:38.840 --> 00:04:42.620 Please do check it out, and donate. Any bit will help. 00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:44.580 I will of course donate as well. 00:04:44.580 --> 00:04:47.840 And tomorrow between 4pm and 7pm UK time, 00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:52.720 I will be live-streaming, where all the proceeds will go towards raising funds for this charity. 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:57.260 Let's do something cool. I think we can turn this around and make it something really cool and really positive. 00:04:57.280 --> 00:05:00.560 Let's actually help 9-year-old kids in India. (Felix, we love you for what you are doing.♥️ ~India.) 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.340 That's it thank you for listening. 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:05.000 Bye.
