Yesterday, we passed along word that Felix "PewDiePie" Kjellberg was dropped by Maker Studio, owned by Disney, for multiple anti-Semitic remarks.

Today, YouTube dropped their own hammer down on PewDiePie. YouTube has reportedly canceled the second season of Scare PewDiePie, a show that was exclusively part of the paid YouTube Red service. Scare PewDiePie was a show that had people trying to scare Kjellberg in real life in a variety of creative ways. The second season was announced last June.

In addition to this, YouTube has removed PewDiePie from their "Google Preferred" advertising service. Google Preferred is a promotional effort by the company to promote "brand-safe" content. It's not hard to see how someone screaming about rape and making multiple anti-Semitic remarks may not fit in with that sort of profile. A YouTube spokesperson issued the following statement.
“We’ve decided to cancel the release of ‘Scare PewDiePie’ season 2 and we’re removing the PewDiePie channel from Google Preferred.”

Google had previously pulled ads from several of PewDiePie's videos because they violated Google's advertising policies. Google says that they have not pulled any of Kjellberg's videos and that any removed videos were removed either by Kjellberg himself or Maker Studios.
