I'd like to suggest that people PROBABLY ***** and moan about PewDiePie because there is no escaping him, ESPECIALLY if you use youtube. Doesn't matter even if you have a script (like me) to block certain users videos from showing up on the site at all, it'll still get through. And then you click on ONE video by mistake and BAM! All your recommended videos turn into PDP videos.
The guy is an incredibly idiotic when it comes to his 'humor', often just resorting to screaming buzz words and overreacting, your every day normal 'lolRANDUMB' humor you'd expect from 'tehpenguinofdoom'... Yet both himself and Youtube continue to push the content even after many politely say 'no' and click the X on the 'recommended channels' listing he pops up in.
Youtube literally is saying 'Well we don't care if you don't like it, we're still gonna shove it in your face because he's our cash cow and we want to bleed him dry'. Because that's what he is, a fucking tool. A tool for gaming companies and advertisers to sell their product and make money for himself, the companies and youtube, with the end goal of selling their product. And really, when people praise something as vapid and uninteresting as a tool being worthwhile content and constantly getting in your faces about it, wouldn't you get sick of him too? Because let's be real here, we can try and ignore him as much as we want, but his fans, youtube, the companies that use said tool and PDP himself will not allow that.
So in summation, I can kind of understand why they dislike the tool.
