All eyes are on the live subscriber count between T Series and Pewdiepie because T series
is about to dethrone pewdiepie as the most subscribed youtube channel.
At the time of this recording, t series is just a couple hundred thousand subscribers
behind felix and we can’t let this happen.
Welcome back to IO I’m charlotte dobre and on this channel we keep you up to date on
everything that’s happening on youtube.
Smash that subscribe for more daily news updates Tuesday to Saturday every week.
Before I get into this video, tell me in the comments, will you still use youtube if it
starts supporting corporations rather than individual creators.
Pewdiepie has been the most subscribed youtuber since 2013.
And that’s for a really good reason.
Say what you want, I know some people don’t like pewdiepie, especially the mainstream
media, but He posts great original content every single day and not a lot of youtubers
can compete with the quality.
At the time of this recording pewdiepie has 68.5 million subscribers.
But A Bollywood record label and production compay called T series is very close to becoming
the most subscribed youtube channel, despite peoples best efforts.
T series has been growing really fast.
They launched in 2006 and they have 51 billion views, in comparison with pewdiepie who has
about 20 billion views.
If you go on T series channel, they release 5-10 videos per day, mostly music videos and
movie trailers.
each one of their videos has more dislikes than likes, with the exception of a few.
You can tell the bro army is subscribed to t series just to dislike the videos when they
go up.
Back in October, it was estimated that pewdiepie would be dethroned by Monday the 29th of October
but its now the 30th of October and the takeover hasn’t happened yet.
Pewdiepie has issued one final plea in his latest video called ‘I need your help’
for 69 million subscribers.
Youtubers like Mr Beast, who has 9.6 million subscribers, are rallying to try to help pewdiepie
keep the top spot by launching a huge billboard campaign.
One of the billboards said ‘calling all bros, you can save youtube.
Subscribe to pewdiepie, unsubscribe to t series.
I mean that’s so petty but I also love it.
Apparently he bought every single billboard available in his city.
Mr Beast also bought radio ads, did tv appearances and bought bathroom ads.
Yes, in case you needed a reminder while you’re peeing to subscribe to pewdiepie and unsubscribe
to t series, now you have that.
Mr Beast said in a video on his channel that he spent all his money on ads so he can remain
as the number one most subscribed to channel in the world.
I mean wow what a fan.
And apparently all of this actually paid off.
On Friday October 26th, t series was only 170 thousand subscribers behind pewdiepie
and now they are behind by more than 500 thousand.
And Likely thanks to mr beast, pewdiepie has gained almost a million subscribers just in
the last 4 days alone.
Felix did respond to Mr Beasts ad campaign in his video saying that he owed him his life.
Even if pewdiepie reaches 69 million subscribers, t series wont be far behind.
I mean they are an indian record label.
They are a corporation based in one of the most highly populated countries in the world
that actually allows youtube to exist.
I say this because china doesn’t have youtube.
The population of india is 1.339 billion people as of 2017.
More than a 7th of the planet is from india and 500 million indian people are online,
and that number is only going to rise in the coming years.
So it doesn’t suprrise me that a channel like t series has blown up the way it has.
People subscribing to t series probably don’t even know anything about pewdiepie, they probably
speak strictly hindi and they only subscribe for the music.
I mean technically pewdiepie is still the most subscribed youtuber, even if he’s not
the most subscribed channel.
T series is an indian record label.
But in a video on his channel, pewdz said that the growth of T series’ channel is
a representation of a ashift in youtubes support of independent creators in recent years.
Rather than supporting independent creators, they are supporting huge corporations like
t series.
So if you are not subscribed to pewdiepie already, do it right now.
But before you do, stick around for some comment repliez.
