I don't understand that sentiment

Everyone loves a good accent. 

Although, Smosh and Nigahiga are both American and they both have over 5 million subscribers. 

Yeah and if we're talking about gameplays, there's SeaNanners, CaptainSparklez, TobyGames, ChimneySwift, ClashJTM, iHasCupquake...

I've only heard of CaptainSparklez out of that list, and I said a better chance at Youtube, I didn't say it's for non-Americans specifically, if I had a British accent I could make a Youtube channel and get some subs, although most people think that English accent=Yogscast clone.

You still need good content. 

I've never heard of Swoozie, but I can't stand the other two. I really just don't see what is so great about them, but that is just my opinion.

Never heard of Swoozie

Pewdiepie is annoying

Smosh is okay

I know of people who are terrible, but because they use spam bots and post channel links everywhere they gets subs, and people who are actually good don't want to spam so they're not as popular.

Once you have a certain amount of subs what you put out means nothing, there's always people who find what you're doing funny or entertaining.

BEST VIDEO EVER

If someone likes Pewdiepie then I instantly lose all respect for them.

I sort of like PewDiePie. I don't think he's the comedy genius people make him out to be, but he's still a fun guy to watch.

I'm not a fan of Smosh, though. I just don't really like their sense of humor. Their videos seem to be based around too much "omgrandomlololol" humor and there aren't enough witty punchlines to make up for it. It's not terrible, just not for me.

I love Swoozie! (Especially the whole "Cheating in ____ School" saga)

I hate PewDiePie, never seen Smosh.

My friend is a huge Pewdiepie fan and she's all "Why do you hate Pewdiepie he's freaking amazing" and I say "Uh, no, he's not funny and is a terrible commentator".

Seriously Pewdiepie is the worst gaming personality on YouTube, I really wonder how he has so many subscribers when there's much better people out there who are really into it and love what they do. Pewdiepie is clearly only in it for the money. Other less known commentators such as ChimneySwift11 and BrenyBeast are much better (they do play MC, which Pewdiepie does not, but that shouldn't matter). Same goes for Tobuscus, he's not funny and his commentating style I just really can't find myself enjoying, he's really annoying.

Also Pewdiepie's fanbase is usually consisted of immature 10 and 11 year olds who have reached that phase when they think anything with cussing is comic gold. Seriously whenever someone mentions Pewdiepie, his fanbase will be all "ERMAGERD PEWDIEPIE DEWD HE'S LEIK SOO OSSIM" and if anyone tries to hate on him they'll just get even more obnoxious.

Smosh is all right, they're not the greatest ever, but some of their videos are actually really funny if you can be mature and get past the pervertedness. I recommend their channel for people 13+, though I already know that their fanbase is largely populated by, again, 11 year olds. They are motivated by what they do though and really love making their videos, disregarding the truckloads of moolah they make (this includes their billion other channels with 1 million subs each). Smosh is, I think, the first YouTube franchise, and probably the only one.

It was nice meeting you as a friend.

I like Pewdiepie's gameplays because they always choose new (or undiscovered) games that no-one bothers to play, sort of like SmoshGames in a way. I mean, Pewds was the first to play Slender - now everyone does. Also, how many commentators play Conkers Bad Fur Day? To my knowledge, only Pewdiepie and some underground ones.

Still - I need to find out who Swoozie is. Is she a female commentator? Because that would be different.

EDIT: Wait, I remember Swoozie's videos. Weren't they the 'Confessions of a Disney Clerk' and 'Cheating in School'? They were awesome!
