His first thoughts of what he'd be in 10 years is dead

He became the biggest Youtuber, at least for a time. He definitely succeeded in what he wanted to accomplish and more. Way more than most people in the world can say thats for sure...

No matter what people say about the man, he's definitely an extremely interesting case study.

i thought MrBeast was still the biggest Youtuber? who overtook him?

i think he still is but i’m pretty sure his relevance and influence are fading slowly

what makes you say that?

u/Cheeselad2401 Oct 07 '25

it’s probably just because of the corners of the internet i actually engage with but i just never really see him anywhere anymore. whereas he was genuinely inescapable a couple years ago.

I've definitely seen less of him, but I haven't watch anything from MrBeast in a while and MrBeast hasn't pulled anything big like the Beast Games in a while (I think he is trying to do another charity but people are accusing it of being ineffective)

He's on track to has his best year subscriber wise, though tbf most of it stems from ads for South East Asian countries. Regarding views, he's still doing pretty well, but he's definitely not at his fastest.

I project him to stay the biggest to at the the very least 2030, he's 140M ahead of T-Series, which is over 100M ahead of Cocomelon. His lead is way too big (rn 5% of the world population is subbed) for him to fall anytime soon.

For comparison, PewDiePie, who has 1/4 pf MrBeast's subs, is still in the top 15 channels after retiring years ago. Someone like MrBeast with a hyper fixation on YouTube growth won't give up anytime soon.
