- I'm sure you've all heard of MrBeast by now.
One of the most successful YouTubers of the last 365 days.
But, get this, did you know
that he's not even the fastest growing channel
in his family?
(sharp intake of breath)
It's gonna leave a mark.

- [Rob] Folks, for the duration of this video
allow me to indulge myself.
Let's say that both MrBeast and MrBro
started at zero subscribers on August 28th 2019.
Where would they be now?
Well let's crunch the numbers and start that ball rolling.
(chilled electronic music intensifies)
Hello everyone, I'm Rob and welcome back to VidIQ,
educating and in this case entertaining you
on your YouTube journey.
And in this video, we're gonna look at two channels
that could combine their brotherly love
to create a YouTube empire that could compete
against those other controversial brothers on YouTube.
What is there left to say about MrBeast?
In the last six months his channel
has received over 1.3 billion views
and over 8 million subscribers.
That's more or less on pace with PewDiePie and T Series,
two channels four times the size.
But not for very long we suspect.
His unique brand of mass philanthropy and zany challenges
has seen him open the world's first entirely free store,
create the world's largest bowl of cereal
and try to catch a cannon ball with magnets,
which ironically enough at 11 million views
is one of his worst performing videos of the entire year.
And his latest moment of incredible charity
centers around his brother.
- From the bottom of our trio's heart,
we want you to go subscribe to our brothers
and watch every single one of their videos.
It is your sworn duty when they upload to click on it
and watch it all the way through.
- Make sure you do the same for us though still.
- Yes. - Don't forget about us.
- And remember it is your job to click
on every MrBeast and...
- [Robotic Voice] Mr Bro. - Video.
- [Rob] Aww, how sweet.
And there's the channel link in the video description,
right next to 40 million views.
So that video was posted on August 31st on MrBeast's channel
and this is the effect it had on MrBro's channel.
(upbeat electronic music)
From August 28th to 30th
where MrBro published his first videos,
the channel got 160,000 subscribers.
After MrBeast's collaboration video,
MrBro collected a cool 1 million subscribers
over the next two days.
Certainly proof, as if you need it,
that collaboration with YouTube mega stars
will indeed help your own channel.
And I guess you could argue
that many of the people who watch MrBeast video
promoting MrBro were already subscribed to MrBeast,
you can't subscribe to a channel twice,
but you can subscribe to a channel once
and that's why MrBro has been outpacing MrBeast
by a significant amount over the last couple of days.
But, credit where credit is due to MrBro,
this isn't just a subscribe to a channel exercise.
Each video currently published on the channel
has more views than total subscribers on the channel.
With a very high likes to dislikes ratio.
MrBro clearly understands the audience
that has been sent his way
and is delivering content they want to watch.
Although I must confess getting someone to Uber you around
for 24 hours must go against
some form of YouTube community guideline.
Feels like some sort of weird version of modern torture,
sleep deprivation 2.0 for example.
Anyway, that's MrBro already at 1 million subscribers.
(boom) Congratulations to you, sir.
(Confetti pop and cheers) (Music intensifies)
(music fades)
(upbeat music)
(click) (bell rings)
(upbeat electronic music continues)
- [Rob] Statistically speaking, then, it's fair to say
that for the last week at least,
MrBro has been wiping the floor with MrBeast
when it comes to subscribers.
When it comes to views, however, erm,
MrBeast is still comfortably ahead on that one.
But come on, one week, 1 million subscribers,
5 million views, it's not a bad start, is it?
All of which brings us to an intriguing comparison.
(Boom)
Which do you prefer?
Voting card over here.
As of today, the Logan Brothers
collectively sit at just under 40 million subscribers.
The Mr brothers as I'm calling them here
have just over 25 million subscribers together.
Doesn't really sound like much of a contest, does it?
Until you look at the dailies.
That's because YouTube's hottest double act of 2017
now bring in between them just 5,500 subscribers a day.
The Mr men on the other hand,
they currently convince over 100,000 people per day
to subscribe to their channels.
And at that pace it really wouldn't take that long
for MrBeast and MrBro to collectively overtake
the poor brothers.
I hope you enjoyed this little analytical adventure
into MrBeast and MrBro.
Oh and one more thing, you said in your video description
that if we didn't subscribe to your channel
you'd take our dog.
He's all yours.
Absolute nightmare.
(popping)
(boom)
(beep)
- He's all yours, he's an absolute nightmare.
