Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg’s PewDiePie YouTube channel just passed 22 million subscribers.
The 24-year-old Swedish online video gamer’s repository for Let’s Play videos and the occasional vlog crossed the milestone on February 4, 2014, just 13 days after he passed the 21 million subscriber mark, which was just 13 days after he blew past 20 million subscribers. So, that means PewDiePie has tacked on the its most recent 2 million subscribers at a rough rate of 76,923 new subscribers per day, 3,205 per hour, 53 per minute, and one new subscriber every 1.12 seconds.
Kjellberg’s online video output has increased in the past 13 days, too. The gamer recently struggled with a spotty internet connection that slowed his normally prolific number of online video uploads to one per day. His ISP problems, though, seem to have subsided, as a quick scan of PewDiePie’s most recent videos shows two or more uploaded within a given 24-hour period.
For the uninitiated, intrigued, and/or Flappy Bird fanatic, here’s a solid recent release from PewDiePie that you should watch:
