PewDiePie soon gathered a rapidly increasing online following, and in July 2012, his channel surpassed one million subscribers.
PewDiePie has been alleged of anti-Semitism (hostile to or prejudiced against Jews) in several of his videos. He focuses on video games commentary & comedy videos filled with profanity yet he makes them very interesting. About the name PewDiePie, he explains that "pew" represents the sound of lasers and "die" means death. After forgetting the password to this account, he then registered the "PewDiePie".
