YouTubes biggest star isnt Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift. Its a 25-year-old Swedish gamer named Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg. Kjellberg, better known by his online alias PewDiePie, has built the most watched YouTube channel of all time thanks to his gaming walkthrough videos and the dedication of his legions of fans, whom he affectionately refers to as his bros. Gaming walkthroughs (also known as Lets Play videos), in which a user records their dialogue and reactions while playing through a video game, have become a popular and oversaturated genre on YouTube thanks to high demand and the ease at which users can make and upload the videos. Is PewDiePies star power a testament to his personality, possibly his Swedish good looks, humorous commentary?
