In an interview with Business Insider, he expressed disappointment with the proposed deal and said he would vote against it. Markiplier, who has nearly 40 million subscribers and recently directed and starred in the film "Iron Lung," built his stake after learning about a new GoPro camera with professional cinema capabilities.
