A bizarre trend is starting to crop up in the content creator’s comment section where fans are putting everything and anything in quote form, according to PewDiePie. While he believes it started during his trip to Japan, the meme format has spread to other corners of the internet.

Now he’s seeing more YouTubers and content creators adopt the trend, affecting some of the bigger channels like Seán ‘Jacksepticeye’ McLoughlin. But to make matters worse, apparently some creators are spamming the meme on Pewd’s page to promote their channels!

“If you’re going to spam something annoying on other channels can you at least do it where people come back and watch my channel?” PewDiePie asked his viewers after noticing that the meme isn’t going to stop anytime soon.

Kjellberg has been uploading as PewDiePie since 2010, and has since grown his channel to over 101 million subscribers with various tools to boost his reach.

As annoying as this new trend might be, YouTube’s biggest star isn’t going to just let it take over his channel without getting something in return.
