YouTube’s crown is broken.

The title of “Top YouTuber” used to mean something: talent, hustle, respect for the audience. Now? It’s handed to influencers who exploit their fans, peddle scams, and chase clout with zero conscience. MrBeast might play the hero, but let’s be real—you don’t “save the planet” with PR stunts while dodging taxes or partnering with predatory crypto schemes. Enough.

PewDiePie isn’t perfect—but he’s ours. The guy who turned a webcam and a sense of humour into a revolution. Who stayed (mostly) independent, roasted dead memes, and never pretended to be a saint. He didn’t manipulate kids into spending their allowance on sketchy apps or slap his name on a “charity” to launder his reputation.

This petition is about YouTube’s soul.

Sign if you’re sick of:

1. “Role models” who weaponise parasocial trust to line their pockets.
2. Platforms rewarding sociopathic growth hacks over actual creativity.
3. A culture where “Top YouTuber” means “Best at Exploiting Naive Fans"
   
   

Let’s make “Top YouTuber” mean something again. Let's make PewDiePie the most subscribed YouTuber again.
