On April 28, 2019, PewDiePie uploaded a video called Ending the Subscribe to Pewdiepie meme. In the video, he explains why, although this meme had a great positive impact on the community, it is highly necessary to stop the meme.
At first it started off with people doing really positive and fun things to get attention through “Subscribe to Pewdiepie”. But something I learned, and I think hopefully something people can understand, is when you have 90 million people riled up about something, you’re bound to get a few degenerates.

PewDiePie then mentions the indecent where someone had spray painted the phrase onto a World War 2 memorial.
Its so disgusting, so disappointing to have my name and community dragged into that… But then something happened that I don’t think anyone could have predicted – The Christchurch shooter said “Subscribe to Pewdiepie” (…) I didn’t want to give the terrorist any more attention, I didn’t want to make it about me… It’s clear to me now that the Subscribe to Pewdiepie movement should have ended then.

PewDiePie finishes with talking about how Media has made the phrase about race and politics, even though it never has been and never will be. He also explains how he doesn’t want the race to 100 million to be about beating another channel, because, as he claims, “what we have accomplished is so much more than that“.
As for International PewDiePie Day, the celebrations will continue as planned despite the several thousand dollar banner having “Subscribe to PewDiePie” on it. Because the phrase, and Felix’s name, have been dragged through the worst of dirt, PewDiePie reminds his fans to have integrity.
Do the right thing for the right reasons. Always have integrity, no matter the reasons.

Many of PewDiePie’s fans are deeply saddened that this celebration of fun and positivity was turned into one of hate by a select few bad people and organizations. However, deep down we all know that Felix made the right move when he chose to end the meme.
dipshits had to ruin the fun…
agree
lol
Every meme must meet its end at some point. It’s been fun fellow 9yos.
not the skyrim skill meme
this was one big wild ride
It was an honor to fight. Now we stand at the end of one of the most historic subscriber wars in the history of the internet. At ease, my fellow 9 year olds. At ease.
its been an honour working by your side *salutes*
There should be an official 9 year old army salute. Like in the US army but containing the Brofist somewhere in it. Leave ideas in comments please.
Why did terrorists and stupid valdalicers have to ruin memes?! F’s in the chat bois, f’s in the chat!

think about it, its the easiest way to start massive controversy under the well known name of pewdiepie

good show everyone. good show.
yes
yeah this is it, it’s been an adventure
its the end of reign of Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg
ever since I was a nobody screaming at barrels
Oof
pewds is right
i bet it was secretly Indian spies trying to stop the subscribe to pewdiepie movement.
We’ve truely gone to far. Sorry Pewds 😢

I wish this didn’t have to happen, but it must 😥
We took this thing way to personal
Not really it was very appropriate
damn
such sad
Sad
Big sad
It’s been an honor serving with you all, but as with everything, it must come to and end. It’s certainly sad to see all the hatred and the frankly inappropriate behavior surrounding our little crusade, but these things sometimes just happen. Now we must band together not to tell people to sub to pewds, but to share his message and spread joy and positivity throughout the world. Shadily lads, I’ll catch you on the flipside
This just proves that PewDiePie is a very nice and very smart person.

Coz he reviewed it Xd
