On Twitter, the official YouTube account told fans that it does not shadowban any channels, and that it was possible that the search results were influenced by the system flagging the recent uploads somehow. The gist put forth by some was that YouTube was trying to bury its biggest ( and sometimes controversial) creator.Īs of Thursday afternoon, some of these issues appear to have been resolved - while a search by Polygon earlier returned mostly old PewDiePie videos, now his most recent uploads populate the top of the results. These shadowban claims attracted thousands of shares and interactions. While some of these issues, like inconsistent notifications, are things that plague YouTubers from time to time, having them all happen at once led to news channels and social media commentators saying Kjellberg had been “shadowbanned” from the service somehow.

Kjellberg did not return a request for comment. Finally, Kjellberg himself posted on the community tab of his channel, stating that his latest video apparently wasn’t going to people’s sub-boxes. Videos in the top results also tended to be from a year ago or longer. When viewers attempted to search PewDiePie on YouTube, his channel would not appear. Rumors of an apparent “shadowban” of YouTube’s biggest individual creator started swirling today, following reports of strange issues surrounding Felix Kjellberg’s PewDiePie channel.
