Popular YouTuber MrBeast Challenges T-Series

MrBeast, the popular American Youtuber, tweeted recently that he is challenging T-Series, the Indian giant, for the most subscribed YouTube channel.

To clarify his reason for this, he said that it’s for PewDiePie. For those who don’t remember, back in 2018, there was a digital battle going on between PewDiePie and T-Series to become the most subscribed YouTube channel. It ended when T-Series surpassed PewDiePie in the summer of 2019.

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, aka PewDiePie, was the most subscribed channel on YouTube for several years until T-Series started gaining popularity and views after the “Jio effect”, which led to an increase in Indians online.

As of now, MrBeast has 173 million subscribers and is the second most subscribed channel after T-Series which has 246 million.

In another tweet, MrBeast informed that his latest video, featuring him and his friends’ adventures being stranded at sea for seven days is the most viewed non-music video within the first 24 hours. It got 46 million views on the first day.
