This is a long Read but hey if your willing to Read it all and respond I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello I am currently studying Psychology At my uni here in Sydney Australia and I find *Become Part Of the Bro Army* extremely fascinating. I don't Subscribe to alot of youtube channels mainly Video Gamers like Pewdiepie that just do their own thing, play games and just have fun with their friends, it is almost a satisfying feeling watching someone else enjoy a experience like video games as much as I do.
The very Thought of *Becoming Part Of The Bro Army* is such a powerful psychological effect, I am essentially becoming a part of a *group* and that I am a *bro* which in most Cultures is considered to be someone who is close to you or a friend or someone you like, it is a phrase most of us Aussies use (Mainly Males) to show a person that they are considered a *mate* or *friend* . Would PewDiePie be as popular as he is today if not for a simply phrase *Become Part Of The Bro Army?* Personally I think yes he still would be popular but no where NEAR the numbers he is currently reaching/ Hey Im a Bro why don't you become one too ? It provides someone a feeling that they are *Part Of Something* a Feeling that almost any human craves in their daily life's like a friendship group or part of society, Clubs and so on.
I don't think PewDiePie meant to go about this way and most likely thought it was just something cool to say, his personality comes off as genuine and caring something that re-enforces the whole *bro Army* because it makes you WANT to join. People are always looking for the *Next Big Thing* Myspace was big and now Facebook, soon something else will come along and the people will follow. I don't believe his fast growing subscribers will stop anytime soon but I do believe it will soon hit a *wall* in the near future. Nothing wrong with that, people will continue to subscribe because he provides comical videos that entertain. I don't know his Finical situation but I assume Youtube and the amount of subscribers he has provides with with a *comfortable* amount that could easily hold him off until he finds a job he loves or maybe dives into voice acting or other sub Areas that the opportunity of Youtube has provided.
However I find it interesting that while I can say that there are a few Youtubers that deserve more attention then Pewdiepie, I am not saying His videos or bad or he doesn't *deserve* the attention he is getting but I think the whole *Bro Army* the very psychological effect it has gives him more attention/subscribers then if he had a different Caption or *signing off* phrase. I guess I feel alittle annoyed that I see a few very good Youtubers that produce higher quality videos get shadowed by the Subscribe monster that is Pewdiepie.
Once again I am not saying Pewdiepies videos are shit, far from it. I just believe he owes alot of his fame and success from a unknowing Phrase that would spread almost like a Virus in the minds of Youtubers.
If PewDiePie ever responds to this I would Sequel like a girl because I am also infected by the *Virus* that is Pewdiepie, a person who I have never met yet somehow has given me a feeling that he is my friend.
