In recent months, the popular music label T-Series’ number of subscribers on YouTube overtook that of PewDiePie aka Felix Kjellberg. This prompted PewDiePie fans to mount stunts to attract new subscribers. Fans have put out message on billboards in New York’s Times Square, urged UK Prime Minister Theresa May to intervene in the matter.
Last weekend as many as 50,000 printers were hacked worldwide with the message: “Subscribe to PewDiePie. Stop T-Series.”
The movie studio giants have more than 75,000,000 subscribers while Pewdiepie has more than 77,000,000 subscribers (at the time of filing this report).
