Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>MrBeast has ended PewDiePie’s reign as the YouTuber with the most subscribers – the first change at the top in almost 10 years.<\/b><\/p>\n

Swedish creator PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, became the most-subscribed YouTuber in August 2013 with his gaming reaction videos.<\/p>\n

In 2019, he was the first person to attract 100 million subscribers.<\/p>\n

But the philanthropy of MrBeast, really called Jimmy Donaldson, gained him his 112 millionth subscriber this month.<\/p>\n

Although YouTube does not show the exact numbers, that pushed him above PewDiePie’s 111 million.<\/p>\n

MrBeast is known for videos featuring huge cash giveaways and prizes, as well as charity work.<\/p>\n

In 2021, he launched a separate philanthropy-themed YouTube channel, which itself has more than 10 million subscribers, and he has a licensed charity that functions as a food bank to feed communities across the US.<\/p>\n

He and fellow YouTuber Mark Rober organised international collaborative fundraisers TeamSeas and TeamTrees, which focus on environmental issues – the latter raising more than $24m (\u00a316.7m) to plant 20 million trees worldwide.<\/p>\n

And PewDiePie himself donated almost $70,000 to the TeamTrees project.<\/p>\n

Mastered the art<\/b><\/p>\n

British YouTuber Steven Bridges, whose videos have millions of views on the platform, told the BBC MrBeast has “mastered the skill” of making compelling content.<\/p>\n

“There’s probably no other YouTuber in the world who understands it as well as MrBeast,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Making an entertaining video is one thing, but ensuring that every single second of a video keeps the viewer hooked is very difficult to pull off, and MrBeast’s retention – the percent of the video the average viewer watches – and view counts speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

“Really, MrBeast is playing the game of making the most entertaining videos that appeal to the biggest number of people, and he’s consistently knocking it out of the park.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think there’s any YouTuber out there that’s surprised MrBeast has taken the number one spot.”<\/p>\n

T-Series<\/b><\/p>\n

Though neither has yet commented on the milestone, PewDiePie previously said he thought MrBeast would “definitely” overtake him.<\/p>\n

“I can’t wait for it to be over,” he joked in a video from August 2022. “He definitely deserves it. I hope he does it.”<\/p>\n

And while MrBeast has become the most-subscribed individual user on YouTube, he is some way off having the biggest YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

T-Series, an Indian music video publishing company, leads the way in that category with more than 200 million subscribers.<\/p>\n

Despite their apparent rivalry for the top YouTuber crown, MrBeast publicly supported PewDiePie when the music video channel rose to prominence.<\/p>\n

In 2018, PewDiePie had the top YouTube channel altogether, and became embroiled in a – mostly jokey – public rivalry with T-Series over the top spot.<\/p>\n

MrBeast was the first prominent YouTuber to make videos supporting PewDiePie, buying radio adverts and billboards in North Carolina urging people to subscribe to him.<\/p>\n

Over the course of a year, PewDiePie eventually lost the top channel spot to T-Series, although he went from about 60 million to 90 million subscribers in the contest, making his lead as top YouTuber apparently unassailable.<\/p>\n

That has ultimately proved not to be the case.<\/p>\n
