If growth curves are to be believed, then Pewdiepie will be overtaken as the largest channel on YouTube at some point this month. Here are some ridiculous statistics to show the sheer mass of his following; 71: If Pewdiepie’s 71,068,326 subscribers (at time of writing), was to be a country, it would be the 20th…
Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg is the biggest YouTuber in the world. Better known as PewDiePie, he currently holds just over 71 million subscribers on YouTube. His story is an amazing one.

Big Moments 2018: The #MeToo movement, although it started in 2017, defined the music and television industry in 2018. What started as a twitter hashtag grew to become the rallying cry for thousands, if not millions of people who had suffered sexual abuse or harassment at the hands of a person in a position of…
You know the type. RTE are unable to afford many new movies for Christmas, especially as nobody really watches TV anymore, so instead they wheel out the same few movies that spend most of the year gathering dust in a cupboard somewhere.
