There are real issues in this world with crony capitalism, but Youtube paying Pewdiepie to produce content that people actually want is an example of capitalism working as intended.

Agreed.

However, Pewdiepie is a token and YouTube is deeply connected to the deep state and government, and they are not going to be fair and allow that same capitalism to "trickle down" to all the smaller YouTube channels, whether they're controversial or not. YouTube is pushing corporate content more than ever - and I guarantee you that Pewdiepie has been incorporated.
