However, College life and studies did not interest him and he decided to drop out of college and pursue his dream which was art. In his early days, life was very tough for him. He used to do Freelancing Photoshop work online in order to earn some extra income.

In one of the videos, he even said that he didn’t have the money to buy a laptop and equipment needed for YouTube. However, he did not lose hope and he struggled his way out into starting his YouTube career. At first, he had never imagined that he would become one the kings of YouTube. According to him, he started YouTube just for fun and gaming.

YouTube and his Personality as “Pewdiepie”

The old Pewdiepie isn’t the Pewdiepie that we know today. He was nothing like the Felix that we see today. He was actually very calm, cool and pretty much enjoyed playing games and sharing it with the world.

In one of the videos, he even states how important and happy he was when he finally gained 100 subscribers. He was so thankful to his subscribers that he even made a video about his fans appreciation even though he only had 100 subscribers.

Pewdiepie’s YouTube Career Peak

From here, his YouTube Channel became a serious business. It was now no more just a gaming channel but he had built a community, a channel which had the potential to only earn him a lot of money but also help the community and the society.

He started getting a lot of attention from the media and along with lots of love and support from his fans, he also had to face a lot of hate as well.

He then went on to release his own game, called Pewdiepie: Legend of the BroFist which also become hugely popular and his fans loved the game.

His game was inspired by his own signature outro where he used to end his video by showing a bro fist to his fans.
