Dude like 2 years ago everyone said mrbeast would have 200m subs by now but no one actually thought that would happen but it rly did

[@Syltarius]

When tf did that happen, feel like a week ago it were 184M or something xD

[@pchapmanus99]

@@Syltarius it happened like 2 years ago I saw someone make a gas gas meme and it said he would have 200 mil subs in October 2023 and that he would have 1B subs in July 2025

Jimmy’s story is so inspiring and exciting to watch unfold.
I’m sure a lot of us remember the war between pewds and T-series and how we fought to keep an individual creator on top of corporate media, only for it to eventually crumble down as T-Series overtook Felix. Since then, other big name companies have continued to pass pewdiepie and hold the top spots, seemingly signifying a new era of RUclips where the emphasis shifted away from individual creators to these soulless business. Then, when all hope seemed lost, Mr. Beast skyrockets to fame, bringing back interesting content that all stems from Jimmy, and it looks like he might be the man to overtake the giant that is T-Series. I sense another subscriber war on the horizon, get ready my fellow war-brethren.

[@SuperVoidBoyz]

I don't think a war is even necessary. Pretty sure it'll just happen on it's own. Looks like Jimmy will pass T-Series by sometime in winter or spring.

[@nickd2296]

I really hope that Jimmy can reclaim the #1 spot for individual creators.

Hello?

Still remember occasionally checking the most subscribed list when I first got on RUclips. RayWilliamJohnson as 1, Nigahiga as 2 and Smosh as 3 will always be engrained in my mind. Crazy that it’s changed so much since then and it’s been wild watching it happen.

[@I_am_bacon._.]

MrBeast has 203,562,805 subscribers as of this comment.... well actually it's probably higher since he's probably constantly getting subscribers.
EDIT: Apparently his subscriber count increases by around 3 subs per second.

[@NostalgiCrazy]

@@Miraculouslylanguagelearning Haha yeah probably. I just wana see the other RUclips stars and not those brand channels.

[@penonpaper3132]

​@@NostalgiCrazy Actually no. I'm sorry to inform you but it's all mostly shorts channels now. The fastest growing channels have been consistently shorts channels for the past year and by next year we'll see some enter the top 50 list. I remember seeing this one shorts channel with 14 million subscribers gaining one million subscribers every 7 days. It's insanity. And some of these channels have like no long form videos uploaded too.
RUclips has been pushing shorts so hard and it's kinda sad to see all remnants of the creators who built the platform be washed away.
