    It would probably make more sense for them to be evaluated in comparison to similar offerings withing the respective “genres” which would be hard for those that don’t fit in to neatly defined formats, but it seems that most do.

    I couldn’t watch PewDiePie, it’s damned irritating, but it’s an entire format and style of video that some people like and he seems presumably to be the king of it and is widely emulated so it would be saying something then if you consider him overrated within that context. I couldn’t venture an opinion though because I would just never watch that kind of video.

      While I dislike PewDie as an adult, had I discovered him at the age of 13, I’d have absolutely loved him.

      I feel like people frequently forget that internet demographics are very unique compared to the overall demographics of the whole population. It is definitely easier and more fun to spend lots of time on here while you’re still very young, and generally have more free time and open curiosity.
