How PewDiePie ended up taking a ‘dig’ at India while “congratulating” T-Series

In what might just be a cruel irony – for T-Series – and sheer stroke of luck – for PewDiePie – that may have just changed the battle game for most subscribed YouTube channel in the world. Till yesterday, T-Series enjoyed a healthy lead of close to 1 lakh subscribers. Then came the video. PewDiePie – in what looked like a magnanimous gesture – posted a “Congratulations” video on his YouTube channel. The tongue-in-cheek video takes numerous digs at T-Series and indirectly at India as well.
The video starts with congratulating T-Series but it’s perhaps the biggest backhanded compliment. As the video progresses PewDiePie brings out the digs and jabs. For instance, he sings, “All it took was a massive corporate entity with every song in Bollywood,” to actually beat him. Then he goes on to point out how T-Series used to sell pirated songs. Also, PewDiePie very subtly “shows the finger” as well to T-Series while congratulating them.
