It depends on your definition of alt-right! Originally it meant the revolting white nationalists, including nazi Richard Spencer who apparently coined the term. But many people heard the term out of that context, and came to believe it describes some different vague righty group. At this point, Ben Shapiro is often described as alt-right. Shapiro is an orthodox Jew. The white nationalists hate him.
PewDiePie links hundreds of sites when he uses identifies meme creators and whatnot. Linking creators is a courtesy. Just linking to a site doesn't indicate any kind of philosophical agreement. Notice that the Cellar currently links to such a site. Intent matters. Intent is everything.
Guilt by association is revolting. It recalls the red scare, where you could be blacklisted just for being friends with a "known Communist", or attending a meeting to find out what it was about. Today, link to Nazis? Make jokes about Nazis? Well then you must be one.
