I would think it being a fruitless endeavor, tbh.

A few searches on the demographic make-up of his followers puts them at between 13-16 years old. Hardly a "force" when it comes to enacting any change. I would surmise that most of those would be in a privileged group. Sure, in a few years they might really care about the world outside of school, their friendships and "teenage desires", but they are definitely not the demographic we would think has the resources to enact or demand justice.

Good point, although I wouldn't underestimate the influence teenagers have on their peers. I'm pretty sure I could've easily made my parents and friends look into this kind of stuff when I was that age. But that is purely anecdotal of course.

It has already been suggested that the generation that comprises the bulk of his followers are more conservative than the millennials that preceded them, who appear quite brain-dead in their SJW-following, These kids have obviously been "red-pilled", hardly watch TV, thus appear immune to the corporate mainstream media, The sheer number of them is definitely a good sign, and we'd hope Pewdiepie uses his influence to mold them into a giant conservative bloc when they do reach voting age. We can only hope that Pewdiepie is aware of the influential power he has, and uses it for good - sounds cliche, no doubt, but he's the "accidental hero" and from watching his latest "response" video, does seem like he's awake to the MSM's manipulation.
