2013 In Review: All Hail King PewDiePie And His Bro Army
At the end of 2012, Swedish gamer PewDiePie counted 3.5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel; if he hadn't gained a single new subscriber between then and now, he would still currently be one of the 100 most subscribed channels on the site.

More specifically, does he deserve it?...
