His amazing reaction and funny videos immediately started to create an audience on the platform as he slowly but steadily started to grow.
PewDiePie also started making gaming videos on popular games such as Minecraft and Call of Duty which was a massive franchise but not on YouTube so he started making lets plays of those games as well.
