Streamer PewDiePie sets precedent for gamers with 3,000 hours of content playing on a loop: 'Infinite money glitch'

Felix Kjellberg, the Swedish YouTuber who goes by “PewDiePie” online, is known throughout the world for being one of the most-followed and highest-earning content creators on the platform. And now, after a long hiatus, it appears he’s back — and raising the bar even higher.

After years of inactivity on his Twitch account, the popular gamer is not only back on the app, but he’s also launched an innovative new feature. His new stream is called “PewDiePie Infinity,” which is programmed to play every single one of his videos on a never-ending loop.

As gaming insiders are now pointing out, it’s poised to be a pretty lucrative deal, considering PewDiePie has amassed over 4,000 videos and more than 3,000 hours of content for people to tune in to at any point in the day.

As soon as news of the new venture hit Twitter, gamers started weighing in on their thoughts.

“Love the idea but needs to be its own category on twitch,” one person tweeted. “I can see a lot of people doing the same and have my feed flooded with ‘infinity content’ when I want ‘LIVE’ streams. Someone can accidentally think that its a live stream and not a rebrodacast.”

Others couldn’t help but marvel at how much the content creator will be raking in.

“If he streams 24/7 doesnt he also get insane ad revenue?” one person asked. “i dont really know how that works but the more hours u stream the more ad rev u get right?”

“I would imagine so yes, seems like he’s averaging between 2-5k viewers at all times as well so it’ll definitely add up,” someone replied.

According to Seth Fowler, a YouTube consultant and Director of Content for NRG Esports, this could set a new trend for other similar content creators.

“I can imagine this might end up being something that is used more often by creators with massive backlogs of content,” Fowler tweeted after hearing the news. “As the overheads are very limited and it’s very passive.”
