 In December 2018, PewDiePie made a video calling on his viewers to support the Indian non-governmental organization [[Child Rights and You]], in response to some of his fans' [[anti-Indian sentiment]]. In the video, Kjellberg says "No more 'f*ck India', let's (instead) help India." He raised {{currency|173682|GBP}}, including a donation by ''[[Minecraft]]'' creator [[Markus Persson]], and also ran a charity live stream the next day.{{r|charity|sekhoseC}}

 On 27 March 2019, T-Series surpassed PewDiePie.
