It's a nice interview and Felix comes across as a great person. One thing that stuck out for me was:
Icon: You have 30 million subscribers and several million views of each video you’ve posted. If you wanted to, you could fight for various political issues?
Felix: But that’s not why people watch my videos. I just want to entertain, that is my main objective and what comes before everything else.
Good on him! I think it's kind of crass and slightly offensive when people want to shoehorn a political message into everything. Besides, what political message? Would people be so keen for him to do so were the message he chose not perfectly aligned with what they had hoped for? It's far too needlessly polarizing and a source of discord, and Pewds prefers to spread happiness, which can be far more unifying than political causes
It's good to have some things as pure entertainment.
