Out of the loop

Hang on I'll edit my comment in a second with an explanation.

Copied from my comment in a different thread about this (with typo corrections):

"Many years ago he paid like 5 bucks on fiver to see if some Indian guys would write "heil Hitler" on a sign and hold it up for a video (they did). He was doing stupid edgy humor and playing with fire like many creators at the time. Many people canceled him "fully" a year or so after that when he had the "bridge incident". He called someone the n word for camping or something while he was playing PUBG. He apologized and took responsibility for using the word...sorta. He continued to make content for a few more years and then he "retired" in Japan with his wife and child. They post update videos every few months but more or less he got his bag and dipped out after he pulled too many stupid moves and was seen as "toxic" to work with.

I don't think he's a bad person, but that's just as someone who occasionally watched his videos over the years."

I am by no means a big PewDiePie fan/expert and I don't claim to know all the specifics, but this is what I gathered from being on YouTube often from the beginning and having two little brothers who went through a PewDiePie phase.
