How does one become a master at trolling? Perhaps by taking notes from top YouTuber PewDiePie, who claimed he would delete his channel after 50 million subscribers and instead Friday deleted a secondary channel he barely uses.

PewDiePie, otherwise known as Felix Kjellberg deleted a channel named Jack septiceye2, which had about 2 million subscribers.

“You know when you make a joke, and it just blows up way bigger than you ever imagined?” Kjellberg said in a video timed with the fakeout. “That was it, that was the joke." (We suspected it, given his history.)
