  • Poppy Harlow: Battlefield 5 update!

  • An Important update for T Series....

  • But most importantly of all...

  • puddles [?]

  • *Chair Fail*

  • [Pew News Intro]

  • Good Evening!

  • I'm Poppy Harlow

  • The most NEWS person,

  • In the NEWS

  • Our first story comes from Battlefield 5.

  • This is an update from last week.

  • Apparently Battlefield 5 had a really bad amount of pre-orders

  • -lagging 85% behind Call of Duty

  • *Pewds Groan* That sucks...*yes it does*

  • Some people-

  • A bunch of Idiots- (yeah)

  • I'm not supposed to add my opinion but...

  • said this was because Red Dead Redemption was coming out.....

  • .......is because Call of Duty is coming out

  • It's just over saturated in October

  • MMMHMMMHMMMM

  • The true chads knew what the reason was behind this...

  • and of course it was because

  • ...the chief design officer of battlefield said

  • "If you don't like our trailer,

  • you are uneducated!"

  • *Meme review clap*

  • and then he mysteriously left the company,

  • as you do, two months before a release...

  • and I try to explain in the video

  • why I think people didn't like the trailer,

  • myself included.

  • Okay? . . .

  • they have done really bad at- job at

  • marketing battlefield so far

  • and I broke that down

  • but I still saw a lot of people commenting.

  • sssss...

  • "I don't know It doesn't look like a bionic arm, just like a prosthetic."

  • I called it a bionic arm,

  • It's a prosthetic a-arm

  • I know the difference. I just misspoke. Ok.

  • *Skkksss*

  • We don't get our education about how wars were from games. Sure, they can do that, but it's not their job

  • It's a school's job. I couldn't give less F's about what's in Battlefield.*Christian channel pewds*

  • I wasn't at the war and I wouldn't play to relive it either. Yes, the trailer just being a statement is kind of dumb

  • However, people going numb over that just as dumb. So-the-basically you're calling me dumb for saying this trailer is dumb

  • *Pewds thinking about his channel * *Pewds thinking about his life*

  • Anyway, it seemed like so many people didn't understand what I was talking about. So I will reiterate just to make this point

  • Crystal-clear. Okay. This is important. Stop. Okay. I'm not even gonna pretend that the battlefield 5 trailer

  • is not the most important thing in the entire universe

  • You have to understand, companies aren't mortal beings. Okay, they will say and do whatever that will bring them more sales. *$399!*

  • They don't think like human beings, because they're not humans. The problem I have and a lot of people have with the trailer is not

  • the fact that there's a woman in it people aren't going

  • RRREEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • There's a woman. No one cares. Okay, and to be 100% clear. I don't have a problem with women in power

  • In fact, I encourage it, okay? You want to do that, great! Good for you

  • But when you're simulating a war, okay, they know that they have to work within a certain framework

  • Okay, if they didn't people would get pissed off and that's what happened here

  • yes, you can say oh, well, there were no flamethrowers in the Battle of Shvacobol and

  • No one cares about that. Yes, you're talking about objects here. We're talking about people we're talking about human beings

  • We're talking about history if battlefield 5 said they're doing a world war game where Swedes are fighting Nazis in the trenches

  • People would comment about it in the same way saying well that didn't really happen did it and then their response would be oh well

  • actually

  • 8,000 Swedish people did fight in the war so checkmate. It's like that's not the point

  • Yes, there were women in World War two, but it's not a plausible scenario

  • so if you want to make the statement or having a woman in power as the cover of the game and in the trailer as

  • The main focus I think it's great

  • It's annoying that I have to call it a statement

  • but it's a statement because it's done so

  • Painfully obviously and so poorly if you wanted to put a female soldier on the cover

  • Why not use something that was actually, I don't know plausible. Okay.

  • Let me just acknowledge: good intention, terrible execution. That's what this is.

  • Now apparently EA

  • Delayed the release of battlefield until November. I think it's probably a good move be honest

  • this did cost the stocks of EA to drop a lot and

  • and uhh...

  • I'm gonna keep developing the story and see how it goes because it's a-- it's interesting to me *and you get content*

  • PewDiePie-- my favourite YouTube channel. I'm not supposed to give my opinion

  • I'm just Poppy Harlow

  • But my favourite YouTube channel is being overtaken by this channel T series

  • You probably heard about this already

  • But later this year PewDiePie will no longer be the biggest channel on YouTube

  • It will be overrun by the channel T series

  • Now Pewdiepie bravely

  • Challenged T series to a fight to the death and they have yet to respond to his request

  • What a bunch of cowards. PewDiePie has gathered a lot of support by Mr. Beast

  • For example, Leon Lush: We don't stand a chance against the population of India

  • Sometimes is not about who's going to win

  • It's about being on the right side of history

  • The all-inclusive channel... or the Indians. Huh!?

  • War... war is coming, T-series

  • Be aware.

  • Now, this was covered uuhh by... of course...

  • *giggle*

  • The verge. The VERGE AND the POLYOGN, same company! It's the same company owned by Vox, interesting.

  • They're the only ones covering this

  • Now. Okay, firs-- let it be clear. I don't care. Ok.

  • I know that's a

  • false statement because if I say I don't care I am saying I care enough to say that I care and then just go on

  • And it doesn't make any sense. I know. The thing is I have expressed that

  • I don't want to be the number one channel on YouTube for a long time

  • Okay. I would prefer if someone else passes me if T-- if T series was an actual individual and not a company

  • I would gladly congratulate them on becoming number one. It genuinely doesn't bother me

  • There are ARE already channels bigger than me, but no one's talking about that.

  • You have Music, Gaming, Sports and YouTube Movies

  • I'm technically the fifth biggest YouTube *laugh*

  • Now, of course!

  • Polygon EHH They always know how to grind my gears *incoherent cry*

  • So instead of talking about this I wanted to bring up the point that they bring up in this

  • Uhhhh

  • article where polygon brings up this video from MatPat, which says

  • Ironically, what helped Kjellberg become the "King of YouTube" as explained by Matt Patrick in the video

  • Kjellberg managed to reach audiences in countries like Sweden, Italy, France--

  • France! Ok.

  • And the UK while also building up a fan base in the United States

  • And I've heard this argument so many times. It's just one of those

  • Things that people keep saying and then it's so-- it suddenly takes on a truth on its own

  • Because Matt did this video which is a really good video

  • I still hate it and I think he should delete it because he made this speculation:

  • but why this Let's Play channel?

  • There's thousands out there. Well, there's one other reason the algorithm loves PewDiePie

  • He's international. You see YouTube promotes channels locally

  • If you live in California

  • Your videos will be served up in California

  • More frequently than in other areas of the US and if you live in the US your videos will stay in the US

  • Until you gather enough views from other countries to merit them sharing your stuff there

  • PewDiePie has a unique advantage over most other channels because YouTube considers his channel

  • Swedish since he started it when he was living in Sweden. Makes sense. Since then he's moved

  • Meaning that he lives and uploads from Italy, but he also speaks English

  • So since YouTube promotes locally, he was able to gather a strong Swedish following in a market where there was less competition

  • But now that he uploads from Italy he gets promoted there. And since YouTube is most heavily used in english-speaking nations

  • He had a much easier time crossing into the US and UK

  • Than a channel from here would have doing the reverse.

  • Ok, Matt. You had no idea what you were talking about *slams headphones*

  • This is such a dumb video and I hate- I'd-- like i-if you want to piss me off just say "Oh well pewdiepie

  • he just grew because he moved countries"

  • The reason this annoys me especially is because it's the complete opposite

  • When I started off doing YouTube

  • There was a lot of ways to poke through the system

  • There was a lot of ways you can deliberately do to make your channel grow quicker

  • that was... uh...

  • Technically not allowed but YouTube didn't really stop anyone from doing it.

  • One of those things would be that you can set your channel

  • Country in your setting you can set your country to anything

  • and YouTube will acknowledge your channel as that

  • It wasn't location-based. It was purely based on the settings and back in 2013

  • The front page of YouTube was a big part of growing your channel. It was probably how you

  • Gather the most subscribers if you got on the front page of YouTube, that was a massive deal

  • And yes, each front page on each country was different

  • so a Swedish-- so Sweden did have their own front page just like

  • America has their own front page. Just like there was also a worldwide front page

  • So what people did was they would set their channel as Swedish

  • Even though they were American so the front page of Sweden was nothing but American channels

  • Abusing the system so they would get views from Sweden when they weren't even from Sweden

  • While people who were Swedish

  • DIDN'TGROWFROMIT *little chuckle*

  • It annoys me because I was so frustrated by a-- by this back in 2013

  • I kind of pride myself that I've never abused youtube's system to grow my channel.

  • It's one of those things where I've seen

  • while growing my own channel a lot of other people do

  • and benefiting from it as well.

  • So when people make these statements saying, "Oh, he just grow his channel because you know,

  • He moved from Italy to UK to Sweden and that gave him that boost. Its

  • It takes away the value of all the work

  • I put into this channel working my ass off the last seven years, and yes it pisses me off

  • So this whole thing couldn't be more false

  • But it's one of those things I keep being reiterated as true.

  • It-- despite me debunking it. It's annoying because people take Matt's

  • Speculation as some form of truth and here it is five years later being reported as true

  • I don't think I deserved 65 million subscribers. I genuinely don't. It makes no sense to me.*thats why you are the chosen one*

  • I don't want to be the biggest channel. Like I said, I don't care... I don't care

  • I just want to be making videos, do my own thing. Everything else is just annoying

  • Dealing with this stuff is annoying

  • It's kind of fun too okay, but it's annoying.

  • *small laugh*

  • None of this makes any sense to me like-- uh...

  • Why my channel got so big. It doesn't make sense to me either I have no idea

  • I was the least popular guy in school.

  • I don't understand it still, I still think I'm really-- there's nothing special about my content

  • So I understand that people want a reason for it.

  • Another thing that's annoying about this article is that

  • Or at least in the verge

  • if you ever want to control a narrative if you ever wanted something to seem a certain way?

  • All you gotta do is just hand select a few comments.

  • Look at this. You can't just hand pick comments

  • I don't know why they keep doing it. Well, I know why

  • Brofist army, where are you?!

  • You dare challenge the king?

  • Alexa. Delete this channel.

  • *wheezy laugh*

  • War is coming... prepare yourself T-series

  • *Alexa mumbles something incoherently in background*

  • No one asked you!

  • T-series' videos have recently been

  • mostly overrun by swarms of PewDiePie related comments

  • Some of which encourage people to down-vote or to report channels uploads

  • So they trying to make it seem like yeah alright it's all a bunch of NINE-YEAR-OLDS, which it is, by the way

  • Spamming this poor channel, this poor channel. Okay.

  • I think-- I think the video

  • that gets

  • 15 million views in two days will be okay

  • I think they will survive

  • T-SERIES

  • accept my challenge to the death

  • Until then the swarm of nine-year-olds will keep coming after you and the verge and

  • Anyone that dare challenge us.

  • That's right. I pledge my allegiance to PewDiePie.*and me too*

  • Sorry, we're out of time

  • I'm Poppy Harlow.

  • Thank you for smashing like on this video. It supports this channel along with hitting the sponsor button

  • Arigato Gozaimasu~

  • And I'll see you guys next week. I'm Poppy Harlow- *pop sound*

  • KABOOM *DESTRUCTION AND EXPLOSIONSSSSS*

  • *PEW NEWS OUTRO*
