   Half of my YouTube feed today is just Linux YouTubers talking over the PewDiePie video. Which makes sense. But I've seen absolutely zero of them compare his (good) attitude towards Linux (both the good and the bad) to other major videos, like the LTT challenge.

     @zak I did reference the fact that the self admitted non techy made a far more coherent video then one of the biggest tech channels on Youtube. But maybe it would be interesting to look at that perspective as well

     @zak There was a comment on that video saying that the Pewdiepie video will provide a years worth of content, obviously hyperbole but I do think discussing the difference between good and bad coverage might have some value.

     @BrodieOnLinux Ah yep, I did notice this in yours! Still a very good call out.

     @BrodieOnLinux I think I'll agree with that. If not only because it'll likely inspire an entire new wave of "Linux challenges." 110 million people is a lot.

     @zak I think the video is at 3mil view so far with no indication of stopping. Sub count on an old channel is kind of misleading, after multiple changes in niches, considering the channel age many of those may be dead accounts, etc
