PewDiePie to delete his current channel at 50M subscribers

Youtube’s current top subscribed channel PewDiePie, is going to be deleting his account once it reaches 50,000,000 subscribers according to his newest video. 4 hours before the video he had made this tweet.

We can only assume the outcome Felix wanted didn’t come from the talk, and he’s taking matters into his own hands. His main reason behind this is mainly protesting to youtube that there is something wrong with their current algorithm/system is causing problems with many big and small youtubers.

He mentions on twitter that he is also doing this to purge any inactive accounts (with a sub base of 50M there is bound to be many.), and to piss off anyone in the process.

Will this action force YouTube’s hand into reverting their current changes to the system? It’s likely that it will.
