There is a new king! It has been a long time since a YouTube channel reigned over all the others and, until now, did not let anyone come close to its numbers. But the throne has changed location once and for all and it has been with one of those changes that have excited users. Who is the new leader on the video platform?
Five years. That is the period of time that the same YouTube channel has remained a leader in the service with a greater number of subscribers. But don’t think it was Ibai, PewDiePie or another famous YouTuber. In reality, that leadership was held by the T-Series record company, an Indian company that took the first position and it was clear that it did not want to leave it.
MrBeast is the new leader
Surely its name sounds familiar to you, because it has been everywhere for months. MrBeast has, today, the channel with the most subscribers on all of YouTube. It hasn’t been easy, but this 26-year-old YouTuber has managed to surpass the Indian multinational and, as he has mentioned, “avenge PewDiePie.” That golden moment in which he achieved the brand occurred last Saturday, the day in which he had the highest volume of new subscribers in a long time: more than 2 million.
This is how it reached the figure of 269 million subscribers, placing it ahead of T-Series, whose channel is established at 266 million. Previously, PewDiePie had referred to how it was difficult to compete with a large company that has thousands of Bollywood video clips, but MrBeast’s content has ended up proving that nothing is impossible.
Not only does it have one channel
One of the surprising things about MrBeast is that the YouTuber doesn’t have just one channel. As in other cases of famous content creators, he has several channels in which he segments his content to be sure that he will maintain his main channel with a general focus. Thus, he has a channel dedicated to gaming and also one that he uses to post reactions. The combination of income from all of his channels makes him one of the content creators with the most means and financial possibilities.
Precisely, this has been something that MrBeast has always taken advantage of. He has done it by organizing live events that require large budgets, with donations and with all kinds of initiatives in which he tries to push the limits of YouTube a little further. Recently, his contest went viral in which he locked up a boy and a girl who did not know each other at all with the challenge of them remaining inside a space for a long period of time in exchange for a large amount of money.
He has also been famous for making an adapted version of The Squid Game and other initiatives. At the moment he is already working on a project in which there will be content creators involved, as is the case with Ibai. This success of MrBeast in its different initiatives is also reflected in the opportunities that are generated around it. For example, Amazon has recently signed him for a television production that will provide him with great income and will also help his popularity go beyond the media in which he usually appears.
Now the question that many people are asking is whether MrBeast will be able to maintain his reign on YouTube or if T-Series will try to use all possible means with the intention of surpassing him. It must be said that, at this time, MrBeast has already exceeded 270 million subscribers on the platform. For its part, the T-Series channel remains anchored at 266 million, so, today, it does not seem that there will be any type of recovery.
