Twitch star Kai Cenat found himself in hot water after sharing his thoughts on one ofYouTube’s biggest names during a recent livestream. Kai said he couldn’t figure out how PewDiePie built his massive following, and that one line kicked off a fierce argument among viewers on social media.YouTubesuperstar MrBeast also stepped in to defend PewDiePie.
The issue started duringKai Cenat’sBatman: Arkhammarathon streamwhen the streamer said he’d never grasped what makes PewDiePie so appealing. Kai knew his take might not sit well, so he prefaced it by saying it could be an unpopular opinion. His guest, Reggie, was on the same page, admitting he didn’t watch PewDiePie’s videos back in the day either. Reggie pointed out that not every creator clicks for every person, some might feel the same way about Kai’s content. The Twitch streamer nodded at that but stuck to his view, saying PewDiePie’s content never resonated with him personally.
PewDiePie’s fans hit back fast after Kai’s comments. Many were frustrated, with some saying PewDiePie pioneered YouTube anddeserves respectfor his influence. Others claimed his content beats out what a lot of creators make today. A few even said Kai and others might one day see PewDiePie’s impact more clearly.YouTube star MrBeastchimed in too, calling Kai’s take misguided. He mentioned watching PewDiePie’s Meme Review and playing games with him, saying PewDiePie is one of the platform’s greatest.
It’s hard to argue againstPewDiePie’s impact as a YouTube pioneer. Kai Cenat is gaining ground, smashing several Twitch records and making a name for himself. Taking a shot at someone like PewDiePie however, shows Kai Cenat isn’t scared to speak his mind, but it’s a gutsy move against a figure who still has a big influence. PewDiePie might be quieter now, yet his fans prove that his legacy holds real weight.
