UPDATE 09/12/2016 5.30pm: Pewdiepie has trolled the internet at large by not deleting his channel with a record-setting 50m strong subscribers. Instead, he deleted his second channel, Jack septiceye2, which only had two videos.
The second account was put up after a 20th October video called My New 2nd Channel. True to form, the Jack septiceye2 account has been deleted.
