- Everything looks good there.
All right, come on.
Did you just see that?
- VidIQ. - VidIQ.
- VidIQ.com. (techno music)
- You know what folks?
I've got to be honest with you.
Just like Neo in the Matrix, the good one.
I am beginning to believe...
I am beginning to believe
in all of these (beeping) conspiracy theories.
Subscriber purges, sub-bots, plans from each side.
I mean, this cannot be organic.
Take a look at this.
Folks, I know how this works.
Timezones should cause great fluctuations
in the subscriber race.
But explain how this is possible, seemingly every night.
Explain how T-series can get within
500 subscribers of PewDiePie but never overtake him
in any meaningful way.
This is a dance I like to call subscriber tango.
And it will go on for another twelve hours tonight.
Just like it has done for the last two weeks.
Now this is nothing new, we told you all about this via
the help of meditation in our last video,
but what happens next is quite startling.
Here we have two channels duking it out
with seemingly nothing between them.
Until, randomly, T-series gains 11,000 subscribers.
In a second.
And that one may ask how that affects
the subscriber gap when it's so close.
Yeah, significantly.
Okay then, an anomaly.
We've seen these before, subscriber purges or audits
that either take away subscribers from my channel,
or add them on.
Depending on whether their legitimate or not.
Youtube does this regularly,
especially in the subscriber race.
What's unusual though, is that these two channels
have been battling out for twelve hours
with virtually no difference in the subscriber count.
So you'd think, with T-series now being
10,000 subscribers ahead, they'd be able to maintain that
for a considerable length of time.
Nah.
Despite the fact that neither channel could get
500 subscribers ahead in twelve hours,
the moment one of these channels takes a 10,000 subscriber
lead it takes the other channel
less than an hour to catch up.
Now, I know I am stating the obvious here,
but this cannot be a result of new viewers suddenly
discovering the likes of PewDiePie's content
and subscribing to a channel.
Not in such a way that it reacts directly and instantly
as a result of the subscriber race.
In the hour leading up to T-series suddenly overtaking
PewDiePie, PewDiePie themselves gained
around 6,000 subscribers.
In the hour after the channel was overtaken,
PewDiePie gains 22,000 subscribers.
A near 400% increase in the same amount of time.
For the numbers to make any sense, they simply don't add up.
Who do you point the finger at?
Is is towards T-series who somehow got 10,000 subscribers
in a single second, through some weird subscriber audit,
or do you point the figure toward PewDiePie,
who was able to increase their subscriber count
over the course of an hour by 400%.
Or maybe we shouldn't point the finger at anyone to blame.
Maybe we should point the finger
at somebody who can explain all of this.
Creator Insider, I'm talking to you.
Never heard of Creator Insider?
Well, they are a small team of YouTube employees
who run a YouTube channel and keep us
all informed about the platform.
From bugs to new features to in-depth guides.
If you are a video creator,
they are a must-subscribe-to channel.
Just think about it.
If there's one channel with all of the data
from the subscriber race from the very beginning
until this point right now who could shed some light
on it to inform us all, it's this lot.
If they could explain how the spikes have occurred,
how the subscriber race has been so close for so long,
how they track fake accounts and organic accounts.
This would be a viral video.
I mean, if FlareTV can gain nearly 2 million subscribers
from essentially showing the subscriber count
for the last six months, imagine what creator insider
could get from revealing all.
We'd love such a video.
On the conclusion of this video,
here's what you should all do.
First of all, subscribe to Creator Insider,
because it is an essential channel for all video creators.
And then, after watching some of their videos
and posting some constructive comments
include the hastag #PewDiePieVsTSeriesVsCreatorInsider.
Hopefully, they will be able to track that back
to this video, and then we can get the answers we all need.
And to be quite honest, after six months we all deserve.
(beeping)
Oh and one final thing, I'd like you all to meet
our very own sub-bot.
He goes by the name of Paul,
and he's pushed us to nearly 300,000 subscribers.
