I mean hell, I heard of Amnesia because I saw a let's play, and I bet you at leat 95% of the other people on this forum did too. Even putting that aside, considering he fact that Thechineseroom said "If we don't get as many cool YouTube videos of people having fits, then I'll be disappointed" in regards to AMFP, I really don't think they hate them as much as you seem to think.
In all honesty, if everyone who LPed Amnesia treated it like spr srs bsns then I, along with many other people, would be bored out of my mind. It's a horror game, you're supposed to get scared and scream. I mean hell, I've been in development of my mod for over a year now and I can guarantee you the first thing I look forward to after I release that thing is YouTube videos of people shitting themselves over it, and I am most definitely taking that thing seriously.
Do you have a vendetta against my pants?

Of course there are outliers just like any other set of data (i.e. people who are in their 20s or haven't become teenagers yet, but such numbers are significantly fewer).
Quote:"He does what the majority think is funny..."
Going out of one's way and completely changing their style (in this case artistically*) for the sake gaining more fame/popularity - in my book - is the very definition of a sellout. I loathe PDP, but I know Felix is a cool/nice guy. To me, that again supports the idea that he is intentionally acting like an idiot to gain more viewers/popularity.
Also, his fan boys are the cancer of the internet (I'd like to point out I didn't just say "fans", just in case someone tries to play semantics with me later).
*Artist doesn't literally mean someone who draws, it is one who entertains: music, comedy and visual arts are all mediums for entertainment**, which is why I'm using this term. On second thought, perhaps I am giving PDP too much credit. **entertainment = amusement/enjoyment,
Art is a thoughtful from of expression, and this can be done in teasing any of the senses. If that means all things anyone has ever created, ever(at least in the idea of "entertaining" dumbasses people), then you must consider that one video - by a certain Modern War Negro - to also be art. Though I'll be amazed if you can find one thing about it that's expressionistic about anything other than indigestion and terminal cancer.
