His popularity online has been reported to increase sales for the video games he plays and to mobilize support for charitable fundraising campaigns.
Online, Kjellberg’s programming was already well known for its divisive reaction among broad audiences, but in the late 2010s, it gained further notoriety and came under more intense media scrutiny.
