Original story follows:

Pornhub has officially jumped into the ongoing YouTube subscriber war between Youtuber PewDiePie (whose real name is Felix Kjellberg) and India’s music label company T-Series. The Twitter handle of the popular porn website, which has over a million followers, has sent out the following tweet:

Subscribe to @pewdiepie to beat T-series here: https://www.pornhub.com/users/officialpewdieporn…

With this, the raging war against supporters of the very popular Swedish YouTuber, comedian and video game commentator and almost equally popular Indian music company has further heated up.

For the uninitiated, PewDiePie’s channel – which currently has over 74 million subscribers (74,419,876 to be precise) – was the undisputed king of channels on YouTube in terms of followers until India’s music label T-Series caught up. The later now also has over 74 million subscribers, but at 74,003,560, the number is still significantly less when compared to PewDiePie.

A lot has happened recently in this ongoing war, with the YouTuber coming up with diss tracks against T-series to fans of both channels being engaged in ugly, racist online fight. PewDiePie publicly criticized this behavior of their fans, and as a good will gesture, helped raised an Indian NGO over $200,000 in a single day.

An interesting development took place late last week when a PewDiePie fan hacked thousands of printers around the world. The hack resulted in prints coming out printers urging people to support PewDiePie in this ongoing YouTube subscriber war.

Even the GTA V was also hacked by PewDiePie fans to gain attention and bring more support.

Even celebrity Logan Paul also pledged their support to the YouTuber:

And if that’s not enough, there’s also a change.org petition that’s urging Prime Minister Theresa May to help PewDiePie stay ahead of T-Series.
