PewDiePie will be deleting his YouTube channel tomorrow

Update: He didn't do it.

Original:

YouTube has evolved drastically since its debut in 2006. Initially created to share videos with people online just for fun, that platform has turned into a place where people can become famous and make millions of dollars. Whether you want to play video games, make vlogs about your daily life, short films, review makeup, or create songs, you can make a career out of it on YouTube. One of the biggest people in pop culture, Justin Bieber, began on YouTube and is now one of the biggest music artists out there.

One other person who has taken advantage of the platform is PewDiePie, a Swedish YouTuber who plays video games from all genres. PewDiePie is one of the biggest YouTubers out there and makes millions of dollars off of his videos, merchandise, and sponsorships. His channel has been thriving for years with thousands of hours of content. He has one of the biggest success stories from the popular social media website and tomorrow, it'll all come to an end.

The Swedish internet star will be deleting his channel tomorrow after an ongoing battle between him and YouTube. A number of channels have been suffering from glitches that cause channels to lose subscribers for no reason and PewDiePie has been one of the victims of this. This isn't anything new, as it's been happening for years but it has yet to be fixed. To make matters worse, YouTube hides videos from people you're subscribed to behind another tab instead of featuring it on the homepage.

PewDiePie recently stated if his channel hit 50 million subscribers, he would delete his channel. Many were skeptical if he'd actually throw away his career which nets him all of his money, but it appears he will. He made a tweet today after hitting 50 million subs stating it'll be deleted tomorrow at 5 PM GMT.

We will update this article if the story develops.
