Things are going from bad to worse for YouTuber PewDiePie, real name Felix Kjellberg. He was not only dropped by Disney, but now YouTube itself has cancelled the second season of his reality show Scare PewDie Pie, Variety reports.
Both of these incidents are the fallout from a video last month which showed PewDiePie using a site called Fiverr, where people offer to do certain things for five pounds. In the video he paid two Indian men to hold up a banner saying "death to all Jews," without thinking they would actually go ahead with the request.
Here's the statement Variety posted from YouTube: "We've decided to cancel the release of 'Scare PewDiePie' season 2 and we're removing the PewDiePie channel from Google Preferred," Google Preferred being their ad program for selling content on YouTube.
Scare PewDiePie, produced by Maker (the Disney studio that dropped PewDiePie) and Skybound Entertainment, didn't have a release date as of yet, but was renewed last June. Do you think PewDiePie's joke went too far?
