Pete Accetturo,[1] known by his online alias VoiceoverPete, is an American YouTuber, voice actor, comedian, and spokesperson.
Fiverr controversy[edit]
Accetturo became well known online in October 2018 after producing a video for a customer on Fiverr that satirically urges Fortnite players to send their credit card numbers.[2] The video went viral,[3] receiving 1 million views on YouTube before it was deleted.[1] He subsequently received over 500 orders to produce similar videos for other games such as Overwatch and was also commissioned by Twitch streamer Ninja to produce a similar video to solicit Twitch subscriptions.[4][2]
In November 2018, Accetturo was banned from Fiverr, with Fiverr citing the numerous “credit card scam” videos he starred in.[5] The ban led him to switch to Patreon as a platform for funding, while producing content on YouTube and Twitch.[2]
Political positions[edit]
Accetturo is an advocate for free speech online. In a YouTube video where he spoke to a crowd of his followers, Accetturo expressed disdain towards tech corporations like Facebook, stating "our data is mined like toilet paper." He is against the proposed European Union directive, Article 13.[6]
