I turn and walk away because he’s a pseudo intellectual looking to feel superior

Feeling superior is the theme of this board

>pseudo intellectual looking to feel superior
I thought we agreed we were post-irony

It bugs me to no end that I cannot correct him when he speaks of philosophy in his videos; it really does.

But hey that's Pewdiepie for you, someone with some based principles whom I think believes that he is following them, while really doing nothing but slowly deteriorating in content quality because of the strong but small fraction of his audience that need self-value from "niceness" given to pewdiepie, who in turn often replies just as or often worse in cringe artificial sincerity. He has lost all criticism, all anger in his videos, and it is disgusting. Not even one slightly edgy joke in the whole video? Says he will no longer be a bad boy to jewtube. Yet he makes countless Sam Hyde references to try to explain, he has lost all action, and for someone who Romanticises Mishima so much, this is nothing more than a shame, and defeat; even guilt.

When will the bait work?

>>15592521
I tell him to find his own memes

>the scales fall from my eyes as I, in my Petersonian delusion, finally see the light
>immediately go to my local bookstore
>pick up a copy of Feser's Aquinas
>get home, open the book excitedly to start reading
>get filtered

>What do you do?
Not give a shit what a Youtuber thinks

>>15592521
Why doesn't he like Borges?

>as soon as anon falls asleep, i materialize in his study
>i notice his gently used copy of Aquinas on his desk
>i instantly deduce what has come to pass here
>i quietly place a copy of The Last Superstition (dressed in the dust jacket of Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, for maximum irony) on top of it
>"heh.... your on your way, kiddo.." i say quietly to myself
>i vanish into the stupid fucking void again

>deteriorating in content quality
You do realize he only got big originally because of literal, actual toddlers watching his videos, right? Look at the other top channels. It's either music or shit for babies.

>Literally recommends Fictions.

>>15592521
pssst... nothing personnel kid I'm already on the germans

>>15593543
I know, I know, but that's not where his influence comes from. We've seen how much a youtube channel with 100k can do, what of 100m? And he obviously doesn't always make such low quality content. Literally he has made nothing as bad as the original videos.

Ok thanks for the correction he has good taste
