Forking Opinions#17 Pewdiepie v/s T-Series
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we discuss the ongoing meme battle between Swedish YouTuber Pewdiepie and Indian music label T-Series. Things became interesting when some raised concern over the fact that a multi-million corporation will soon surpass an individual content creator and some misinterpreted the whole situation by saying Pewdiepie and his followers are making fun of India and her culture. Some Indian YouTubers doesn't get the joke here and are just blindly supporting this corporation, while some ignorant people on the internet are hating India. Pewdiepie and majority of his fan just want to have fun rather harnessing a vendetta against T-Series or in fact India. Now, Pewdiepie is a self-made individual content creator, and on the other hand, T-Series is a faceless corporation. The future of YouTube will be shaped by who will remain on top; if corporation starts gaining this kind of traction, then the YouTube days of an individual creator with minimal production quality making on their own merit is in danger. This narrative of Pewdiepie vs T-Series has nothing to do with India, but rather corporation vs individual creators on the world's biggest open video-sharing social platform.
