10 | *clap* Felix *clap* review *clap*

Felix was changing in late 2015 and early 2016, but from his episode with Sorsha ("Why Pewdiepie is the dumbest youtuber") on, he's been on a completely unique entertainment level with his autism. The Wall Street Journal thing showed that Felix is more powerful than traditional media expected, and he's been doing incredible content with series like Pew News, LWIAY, Book Review. His charisma didn't come from games, but from his social awkwardness and his almost misanthrope personality. If in 2014 people came to his channel to see him screaming at games, people now come to his channel to honestly see his opinion on stuff and also be entertained by his own entertainment.



Felix is a smart guy and he shows it in his videos, even though they're usually comedic, even when dealing with serious topics. The direction he's taken in these last years is great and he should keep it that way. Because of these changes, he continues to be the biggest Youtube creator ever, and continues to have immense relevance on the platform and even the mainstream media.



You can't go to his channel expecting great intellectual value, but that's not its idea. You are going to be entertained, and eventually you inevitably will deal with more serious topics, specially about the community he's in: Youtube. TV is losing its appeal more and more, in a pace that's making mainstream media terrified, and to be honest, I completely understand why. On the web, you can look at content creators that go from Kardashian levels of content such as Ricegum, the Paul brothers, Lele Pons, viners in general, these who are completely out of touch with their own environment, to creators are great in their content because of its more personal nature, such as Pewds and many other great youtubers (some of my personal favorite being these documentary-type channels such as EmpLemon, who started making Youtube Poops, funny enough).
