PewDiePie

Mega YouTube personality

PewDiePie is the online alias of Felix Kjellberg, a Swedish YouTuber who became one of the platform's most-subscribed creators through video game commentary and later comedic content.

The name combines "pew pew" (imitative of laser or gunfire sounds) with "die" and "pie." PewDiePie just hit 100 million subscribers.

The channel became a cultural touchstone for YouTube's evolution from amateur uploads to professional content creation.
