People are funny about the "Follower" number. Like you mention if a Celeb in one social media leaves for another, does not mean that their followers will follow. They prefer the kool-aid of the platform they are on even though they know it is poison they continue to drink.
I am not sure, is Pewdie Pie still getting paid by Dlive to post there?
The problem with the celebrity leaving is that the platform generally chooses who that will be - and they tend to be the types of people who question the narrative.
I didn't know who Pewdie Pie was until the Dlive stuff, I still don't really know who he is, I had heard of the Heath Ranger before and of course Alex Jones, but I never really was a you tube user very much for anything other than listening to music.
I don't know Pewdie Pie either, just the name - never seen a video. Don't know Heath Ranger and Alex Jones is so loud and annoyingly self-centered and sensationalist, that I haven't ever watched more than a couple minutes in total of anything he is in.
I use YT for troubleshooting - If I need to learn how to do something like reset my wife's phone or build a wall, I will go to YT.
There is a lot of DIY help available on there, and yeah I agree about Alex Jones, he was part of the problem, seemed he just liked to stir the pot, and never really offer any solutions.
The Health Ranger was/is Mike Adams I believe, he was a doctor (regular MD type), that also spoke about alternative therapies.
