Pewdiepie vs T- series: Fans hire billboards in desperate bid to keep channel most poplular on Youtube- Elton Tankersley

This article describes the recent "fight" to keep Pewdiepie, who is currently the youtuber with the most subscribers, at the top. A channel named T- series has been gaining subscribers at an alarming rate, and has almost passed Pewdiepie and claimed the top position. But while Pewdiepie is seemingly apathetic many of his fans are not, and another youtuber, Mr. Beast, recently posted a video on youtube where he put up a ton of adds in support of Pewdiepie to try and keep him at the top.

This article was written in a time where Youtube is one of the most popular sources of entertainment and even news, so it is especially relevant. This article was written for the people who are watching this fight anxious to see who will come out on the top. This article was written by Anthony Cuthbertson to try to inform people of this battle. This is important because due to the large following that youtube has it sometimes can be seen as necessary, and this event highlights how central it is in our society. This relates to 2013 when Pewdiepie became the most subscribed youtuber taking the title from Smosh.

Personally I am in favor of Pewdiepie, not because his content is that great I actually most of the time don't like it, but T- series videos are even less interesting.
