Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse? (sh.itjust.works)

Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he'd ever consider it?

Idk about his audience, or if it’s because of my preaching, lots of my tech savvy students are making the switch to Linux or are at least gnucurious.

How long has “PewDiePie”’s linux thing been going.

I had a friend switch to linux about two years ago for no reason. And that friend is obsessed with pewdiepie. I hadn’t made the connection.

A few weeks ago, so Pewds probably wasn't it.
