Why are people copying PewDiePie? That's really petty because that shows that their desperate for attention, views, likes, and subscribers if your original people will like you for you and not for someone else's creative ideas.

Hmm maybe they're influenced by Pewds? Sometimes I find myself adopting Pewds' humour after binge watching his videos.

True but there is a fine line between influence and outright copying the ideas and comedic style that pewds has and I just think they need to dilute whatever their doing so it doesn't seem so close and similar to PewDiePie.

I think it's because PewDiePie is the number most subscribed YouTuber and everyone else wants to be in that position with the 'easy lifestyle' (not that it's easy at all). So they copy what he does thinking that people will like them for the same reason.
What everyone doesn't realise is to grow your own fanbase you need to be unique. Not copy the perfection that is PewDiePie. Pewds has the fan base he does because when he came about on the YouTube scene he was original and unique and he still is, constantly reinventing himself.
Basically people copy him because they think he has a special secret that gets fans quick - he doesn't, hes just funny and original.

Just my thoughts

I feel like stabbing myself every time...
It's like this, if you do youtube, and you are nothing similar to pewdiepie, you are going to be accused of copying somebody else. No matter what one does, his style is going to be similar to somebody else either by influence or by mere coincidence. As for the games , well pewds does play a lot of games that are popular at that moment, so any youtuber that is trying to keep up with newest games is going to play the same stuff as pewds. And copying isn't that bad as long as you are copying something good. Even pewds took the photoshoping idea from smosh.

Point of all this: There is a difference between "copying" and influence... And when done right "copying" isn't bad for anybody.

When you say "copy", do you mean the gaming side or every single one of his videos? If it's a case of the latter, then nearly every channel on youtube copied Pewds.

On a serious note, there are only so many games you can play because that's how many there are. There will be people playing the same games. Heck, you could even say Markiplier copied Pewds when he played Five Night's at Freddy's (despite Mark's video being released 10 days before Pewd's attempt)

All I'm saying is that there will be people who play the exact games Pewdie once did. That's okay. I mean, youtubers produce content for our enjoyment and not to fight over in comments.

Pewds is really cool man , here is the thing

They think when they put pewds videos in their channel saying these videos are theirs and calling themselves pewdiepie, they will get more subs and likes and view, HuH? Give me a break, they are just a bunch of losers that's all
