PewDiePie responds as MrBeast is set to overtake his YouTube subscriber record Instagram: MrBeast \/ YouTube: PewDiePie, MrBeastPewDiePie might be the single most-subscribed content creator on YouTube, but MrBeast isn\u2019t far behind \u2014 and the gap is closing day by day. In 2019, Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg broke YouTube records by reaching 100 million subscribers \u2014 the most that any independent creator on the platform had ever achieved. This event came about due to his famed subscriber war with Indian entertainment label T-Series, who eventually passed him in numbers to garner a current amount of 206 million subs. Since then, Kjellberg has amassed an additional 11 million subscribers, and continues to hold the throne for most-subscribed creator on the platform\u2026 but will he maintain the title forever? It\u2019s not looking likely. Another major name in the space is slowly but surely creeping up behind PewDiePie \u2014 and he goes by the name \u2018MrBeast.\u2019 Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is arguably one of YouTube\u2019s biggest influencers right now. Best known for orchestrating elaborate challenges and creating ambitious (and hugely expensive) videos, MrBeast has expanded his empire to include a fast food restaurant, created his very own philanthropy, and recently launched a line of chocolate bars in true Willy Wonka fashion. At the time of writing, MrBeast\u2019s main YouTube channel has 89 million subscribers. A quick look at channel statistics on SocialBlade shows that he\u2019s gaining an average of 536,000 subscribers per week, earning an estimated total of 2.3 subs per month. Additionally, MrBeast had the fastest growing YouTube channel of 2021, beating out T-Series by a whopping 1.1 million subscribers to earn over 37 million new followers throughout the year. PewDiePie reacts to MrBeast subscriber count PewDiePie reacted to this news upon returning to YouTube, having taken a month-long break in January. While he didn\u2019t seem too bothered by it, he did joke that MrBeast would, of course, be his next opponent in YouTube\u2019s great \u201csubscriber war.\u201d \u201cI guess I\u2019m gonna have to start my next drama with MrBeast,\u201d he joked. \u201cDiss track coming \u2014 nah, I\u2019m just joking. I\u2019m not gonna do that.\u201d (Topic begins at 3:43) There\u2019s certainly no bad blood between these two internet giants, especially considering that MrBeast is a self-proclaimed fan of PewDiePie (remember that time he advertised Pewds\u2019 channel during the Superbowl?) Although MrBeast continues to gain subscribers at a rapid rate, there\u2019s no denying that PewDiePie\u2019s war with T-Series paved the way for independent creators to challenge major companies when it comes to fan support. Besides, a beef between these two isn\u2019t looking likely, as PewDiePie notably claimed he \u201ccan\u2019t be bothered\u201d with the YouTube hustle these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
