MrBeast sacrifices his own video to help PewDiePie regain YouTube record MrBeast, PewDiePie – YouTubeIt\u2019s no secret that popular YouTuber Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is an avid supporter of YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg \u2013 but MrBeast\u2019s latest initiative to help PewDiePie requires a major sacrifice on his part. MrBeast uploaded a video in January with the title, \u201cMake This Video The Most Liked Video On Youtube,\u201d aiming to have the upload break records on the platform \u2013 but not enough to surpass PewDiePie\u2019s own YouTube Rewind 2018 video, which was the most liked non-music video on the site at the time. However, MrBeast\u2019s fanbase has since taken his request overboard, with his video now sitting at the top of the non-music video list at over 8.13 million likes. MrBeast called out this development in a Tweet on May 17, asking his fans to dislike the video in order to drop beneath PewDiePie\u2019s \u201cYouTube Rewind 2018 but it\u2019s actually good.\u201d \u201cGo switch your like on my video to a dislike so PewDiePie can reclaim the title of the most liked non-music video,\u201d MrBeast wrote. \u201cI SPECIFICALLY SAID I WANTED TO BE #2 IN THE VIDEO.\u201d While his video still reigns as the most liked non-music video as of the publication of this piece, it wasn\u2019t always so; PewDiePie\u2019s YouTube Rewind video quickly climbed to the top of the charts in late December of 2018, after YouTube\u2019s own Rewind video was met with mass backlash. In fact, the official YouTube Rewind 2018 video is one of the most disliked videos in YouTube\u2019s history, surpassing Justin Bieber\u2019s \u2018Baby\u2019 to take the number one spot with over 16.14 million dislikes, after fans felt that some of the platform\u2019s biggest moments weren\u2019t featured in the yearly recap. Despite PewDiePie having the second most liked video on YouTube, his YouTube Rewind rendition isn\u2019t even his most viewed upload on his channel \u2013 in fact, his \u201cBitch Lasagna\u201d diss track against Bollywood label T-Series takes that spot, sitting at over 193 million views as of May 17. While PewDiePie has yet to respond to MrBeast\u2019s call for dislikes, he still remains YouTube\u2019s most subscribed independent creator, with over 95 million subs in light of his now-defunct battle with T-Series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
