Infamous YouTuber PewDiePie netted $4 million last year, “most of which is pure profit,” according to a new Wall Street Journal profile. He wishes he wasn’t so famous. “I’m so central to YouTube now, and that puts me in the spotlight and raises a lot of questions like ‘Why is he so big?'” PewDiePie said to the Journal. “I’d much rather prefer to have something like 5 million subscribers.”
