Read our privacy policy PewDiePie has once again provoked controversy after the world's most popular YouTube channel recommended a video produced by a channel notorious for its antisemitic content. "Yesterday pewdiepie ended #Subscribetopewdiepie in a video where he promoted some of his favorite channels," Hasan Piker, a host of popular YouTube channel The Young Turks, wrote on Twitter. Last year, Disney's Maker Studios cut all ties with Kjellberg after he posted a series of videos that included Nazi imagery and people he had paid to hold up signs that said "Death to all Jews" and "Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong." Pewdiepie dropped by Disney over YouTube star's anti-Semitic videos Kjellberg responded to the controversy in a blog post aimed at clarifying his intention with the video.
