You don't need to worry about it. His new content is that of a completely different person, and it's been more than half a decade since his last controversy.

Pewdiepie was a very edgy youtuber for most of his career, usually laying out unfiltered hot takes. They were all pretty normal edgy guy things. Think Idubbbz in terms of flavor.

I will say that I personally noticed a major change in his content after his slogan "Subscribe to PewDiePie" was used in the Christchurch mosque shooting in 2019. I think he realized just how toxic portions of his audience were from that tragedy, and ended up changing direction because of that. That was also mostly not in his control.

There were something like half-a-dozen controversies directly caused by his own actions, such as when he payed two people on fiver who didn't speak English to hold up a sign reading "death to all jews", and calling it a social experiment to show how people will do anything for money.

Another time he faced backlash for saying the N word during a livestream.

He also said he joined ISIS as a joke at one point.

Most of his controversies are like this, where he does some edgy inflammatory shit, realizes he went to far, apologizes, then everything goes back to the way it was before.

He started YouTube in 2006, then again in 2010 under PewDiePie. It's been more than a decade either way. It's been 6 years since his last controversy. I wouldn't worry about how people judge him now.

He's the most viewed YouTuber. It's apparently impossible for a decent person to achieve this level of success in the hate machine that is the YouTube algorithm.
