PewDiePie has been one of YouTube’s most talked about content creators for a while now. Felix Kjellberg, the man behind the famous channel, has been consistently ranked in the list of top 10 most subscribed channels on YouTube due to his daily uploads featuring appealing meme-heavy content. However, according to a recent occurrence, the famous channel has now slipped down a rank and made way for a South Korean channel called 김프로KIMPRO to take the spot instead.

Although shocking, the news seems valid considering how the creator had slowly started to step back from content creation ever since he relocated to Japan in 2022. After getting married in 2019, Kjellberg has now welcomed a child in 2023 and the reduction in daily content is largely due to his shifting focus towards family life.
