When it comes to social media platforms, YouTube is always a top contender \u2014 but it truly changed the game this year by diving headfirst into streaming and taking a chunk of Twitch\u2019s top talent. We\u2019ve also ranked Twitch\u2019s top 5 streamers this year here. On top of that, YouTube has seen a number of its best creators make a splash in a huge way, from hosting influencer game shows to recreating one of Netflix\u2019s top series of all time. Here is our list of YouTube\u2019s best content creators of 2021. 5 \u2013 Valkyrae Rachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter was a huge name in the influencer game this year. The YouTuber \u2014 who signed an exclusive contract with the platform in 2020 \u2014 appeared in music videos for Corpse Husband, Machine Gun Kelly, and Bella Poarch. On top of that, Valkyrae even launched her very first merchandise line, unleashed a special edition gaming chair, and even became a co-owner of 100 Thieves. That\u2019s what we call boss moves! 4 \u2013 Dr Disrespect This list wouldn\u2019t be complete without including the two-time Blockbuster video games champion, Dr Disrespect. Doc notably switched over to YouTube in 2020 after his mysterious Twitch ban, and has gone on to become a major presence on the site. Doc has been at the top of his game this year, back to streaming with besties TimTheTatMan and CouRage, who also hopped over to YouTube from Twitch. Got it? Good.#DEWDUAL2XP #GameFuelPartner https:\/\/t.co\/wh00oTHBmn \u2014 Dr Disrespect (@DrDisrespect) October 28, 2021 From teasing his very own battle royale game to starring in a Mountain Dew x Warzone commercial, it\u2019s clear that the two-time\u2019s 3.6 million subscribers are well-deserved after a year of hard work and streaming domination. 3 \u2013 Coffeezilla When it comes to internet drama, Coffeezilla is always on top of the latest tea \u2014 and this year, there was more tea spilling than ever. In 2021, Coffeezilla notably called out a slew of influencers for purported \u201cscams\u201d regarding cryptocurrency\u2026 something he\u2019s become quite well-known for, as his specialty is exposing influencers\u2019 scams to warn their well-meaning fans. In fact, Coffeezilla created an entire YouTube Rewind parody featuring the biggest influencer cryptocurrency drama of 2021, wrapping up the holiday season with a humorous jab at several high-profile content creators. 2 \u2013 ZHC YouTube\u2019s resident artist took over the website in 2021 after years of customizing top influencers\u2019 phones, designer bags, cars, and rooms. This year, ZHC hosted YouTube\u2019s competitive game show, Instant Influencer, which took a more artistic turn off the back of season one\u2019s more beauty-centric challenges. Boasting over 23 million subscribers, it\u2019s clear that ZHC\u2019s massive customization projects have garnered him a well-earned following as he continues to up the ante with each video. 1 \u2013 MrBeast Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson comes in at first place in our Top YouTubers list, and it\u2019s not hard to see why. This year, MrBeast started his very own charity to help feed his local community, raised millions of dollars to clean the world\u2019s oceans with his #TeamSeas project, and partnered with a number of top influencers for his MrBeast Burger restaurant. Of course, this list would be amiss without mentioning his viral Squid Game recreation, which broke YouTube records and even earned the approval of the show\u2019s creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk. MrBeast continues to surpass expectations and constantly uses his internet fame as a way to do good in the world \u2014 and for these reasons, he\u2019s earned the title of best YouTuber of 2021. We\u2019re excited to see what the future has in store for this ceiling-shattering influencer!
