I don't particularly watch/like PewDiePie, but he is joining the train and spreading the word, which is awesome. He is self hosting services and using GrapheneOS now.

Crazy to see people stating that they never saw a video of him, but I guess the intersection of his audience and the fediverse is predictably low, especially in a degoogle community.

His recent arc with Linux and now this are pretty nice though.

Is it that crazy? He's just a game streamer, right? Plenty of people have probably never watched any streaming, let alone from one particular guy.

He has been the most subscribed youtuber for a while in the past. But yeah, mostly gaming and he already "quit" YouTube several times.

Taylor Swift has been the biggest selling artist but plenty of people will never have listened to her music, football is the most popular sport in the world but many will never have watched a match, etc. To sum up with a statement of the obvious: the world's a big place so even very popular things can still be relatively niche!
