2.2 2013–2014: Becoming the most-subscribed user and continued growth.With over 111 million subscribers and 28.5 billion views, his channel still ranks as the most-subscribed and among one of the most-viewed channels owned and managed by an individual, as opposed to a company or brand. Meanwhile, in his personal life, he moved to Japan with his wife, Marzia. He also semi-retired from YouTube, choosing to upload for fun, rather than as a career. Subsequently, Kjellberg became more reserved online, uploading less consistently and taking frequent breaks from Internet use. Shortly after, Minecraft-related videos emerged as popular entries in his video catalog. In 2019, following a public competition with Indian record label T-Series, Kjellberg was overtaken as the most-subscribed YouTube channel.

His popularity online was also noted to boost sales for the titles he plays, and has allowed him to stir support for charity fundraising drives. In 2016, Time magazine named him as one of the world's 100 most influential people. During this period, his content shifted focus from Let's Plays and diversified to include vlogs, comedy shorts, formatted shows, and music videos. From 29 December 2014 to 14 February 2017, Kjellberg's channel was also the most-viewed on the platform. His channel gained a substantial following and was one of the fastest growing channels in 20, before becoming the most-subscribed on YouTube on 15 August 2013. He has been portrayed in the media as a figurehead for YouTube and as being almost synonymous with YouTube gaming.īorn and raised in Gothenburg, Kjellberg registered his YouTube channel "PewDiePie" in 2010, primarily posting Let's Play videos of horror and action video games. Kjellberg's popularity on YouTube and extensive media coverage have made him one of the most noted online personalities and content creators.
