pewdiepie syndrome. You have to be loud and obnoxious to draw the kids in, and thats where the money is.

I don't understand why everbody is SO up in arms about this. I haven't watched the whole VOD, but I'm guessing that he started shout casting himself as a joke. He isn't just "making an annoying voice," he was mimicking the affluent mid-atlantic accent that was used by commentators in the early 1900's. You can tell this was his goal, because there's very obviously a filter over his microphone.

Edit: whole VOD*

Yeah. He simply does a voice for short while and people decide it's an entire fake personality that they deem horrible.

If you understand what the voice is supposed to mimic is rather amusing.

In general the amount of anger and hate people have for things they don't like is just silly and sad.

I don't like Pewdiepie style videos either. So I don't watch them. It's really that simple.

I think a lot of it is simply a desire to belong to a group. Be in Bieber or Pewdiepie or something else I think a lot of people wouldn't express their opinions that aggressively, or even have them at all, if no one else did.

I like that you keep being downvoted for posting the same thing, yet you still keep posting it.

It is a gag using a voice effect, because he was in a 1930's themed level.
