PewDiePie shuts off YouTube comments for good

PewDiePie, the most popular YouTube gaming personality on the planet, with just over 30 million subscribers, has decided to completely shut off comments from his channel. The decision is final he says in a recent post, stating that foul language, spam and hate are the main reasons behind his choice.

"I go to the comments and it's mostly spam, and people self-advertising, it's people who are trying to provoke, and people replying to all these, just all this stuff to me, it doesn't mean anything, he said in a recent video. I don't care about it. I don't want to see it. I just don't care.

"It's been bothering me for so long now, I've been trying to find solutions to it, I've been hoping it would get better, I was hoping YouTube would try to figure a way out, but it doesn't seem like it, and I'm just sick of it," he said. "So I'm going to turn the comments off forever, they're not coming back this time around."
