PewDiePie DROPPED OUT and Sold Hot Dogs for YouTube

He dropped out of university to film himself playing video games. He became the biggest YouTuber alive.

Felix Kjellberg was a Swedish student studying to become an engineer.

He quit his degree for YouTube, and his worried parents nearly gave up on him.

To pay for it, he sold hot dogs and edited his videos at night.

He filmed himself playing games, laughing and screaming, like a friend on the couch.

Millions of people felt that, and his channel started doubling, then doubling again.

By 2013 he was the most-subscribed creator on YouTube, ahead of every star.

He held that crown for years, the single most-followed person on the platform.

He proved one person with a webcam could outdraw whole studios and TV networks.

The dropout his family worried about had rewritten what a career could even be.
