The content creator and streamer has seen a fair share of controversies and drama but remains one of the most straightforward personalities on the internet.Following his milestone of achieving a hundred million subscribers back in 2019, the star's growth as a premier content creator seems to have stagnated. A discussion thread on Twitter popped up with fans providing their take on the situation.A user on Twitter was seen making the following statement regarding PewDiePie:Maw@TheEbonyMawDoes anybody ever talk about Pewdiepie anymore?Feel like a couple years ago, he was this ever-present, frequently name-dropped figure in pop culture, in memes, in YouTube discourse, political discourse, media discourse, etc.And now it seems like the dude doesn’t exist anymore2:45 AM · Mar 12, 20224818183Does anybody ever talk about Pewdiepie anymore?Feel like a couple years ago, he was this ever-present, frequently name-dropped figure in pop culture, in memes, in YouTube discourse, political discourse, media discourse, etc.And now it seems like the dude doesn’t exist anymoreFans on Twitter discuss PewDiePie’s relevance as a content creator A Twitter thread created by the user Maw (@TheEbonyMaw) was seen gaining traction on March 12, 2022.

They simply wanted to know why no one talks about PewDiePie anymore and wanted to hear the public’s opinion regarding the matter.Maw@TheEbonyMawI’m not saying I think Pewdiepie “fell off” or “is a loser” or “is no longer successful”. That is obviously not the case.I’m just saying I never hear about him anymore. Not even in passing. Not in memes. No articles. Nobody talks about his videos anymore. It’s just weird to me.3:59 AM · Mar 12, 202295911I’m not saying I think Pewdiepie “fell off” or “is a loser” or “is no longer successful”.
