@Big Daddy Gio No, for me who has been watching YouTube since 2007 constantly, what I watched on  YouTube and what I define old YouTube is YouTube Poops, Angry Video Game Nerd, Irate Gamer, movie and TV show, and Red vs. Blue. Though the content by Machinima I didn't care for.

+Thorne your profile picture is scaring me

When a flower blooms for two seasons, it will began wither its pedals away....

@Chip That's because it was?  Before the rampant censorship, political correctness, copyright strikes, corporate shilling, and punishing individuality and talent and encouraging talentless pop culture shit?

Funny "back in my day music was so much better" now its "old youtube was the best"

Who/what is your avatar though?  Some generic vampire lady?

One day Millennials will be the butt of the joke, even more than today... I await that day.

Barrels? Now that a good rival to Pewdiepie

I literally grew up with PewDiePie. When I started watching him, he was making Skate3 videos and funny moments montages. I remember binge watching his Walking Dead series for the first time in the summer of 2013. It was good times. Ironic that T-Series, a literal corporation, with no face or identity, will be the next "face" of YouTube.

*SIP* "Yep, old youtube was the shit" *SIP*


Still going strong boys. Rise and grind gamers 😎


Well... We just have to enjoy the last few weeks (if not less,) of YouTube being a platform for people, by people. Or at least symbolically, because that's long gone anyway. PewDiePie, you'll always be #1 for all of us.


We need to build a new platform.<br>One that focuses on the people, not the corperations.

@Yuki Mishima 25% population of India ...correct it. By 2025 it'll be around 90%.

@unwatchable  not subscribed to them by default but they are recommended to us Indians if we make a new YouTube account

Swedish man vs the entire population of India™

Every Indian YouTube channel is automatically subscribed to T-Series, so it's not the same.


He'll still be the #1 Youtuber after T-Series passes him. T-Series isn't a "Youtuber", they're a company.


This is the end of youtube, and I mean that there will be no more up-and-coming youtubers that stick out. The site will be completely dominated by the same personalities and 3rd party companies with youtube channels.


I'm starting to fear what will happen to us content creators if this is going to be the end of YouTube. Where do we show off our content? How will we make a living out of this? What can we do to sustain our lives? Something like these are putting us content creators in jeopardy.

@Random123456789O This 100%! I would say that monetization for videos made the whole site way worse. Nobody does anything for fun or creative merit anymore, it's all just about ads and money and bullshit like that. It's so vapid and stupid!

Simple: Get a real job, no matter if it is at McDonalds... this days you gain more there than with YT's shit (de)Monetization system.

Well, why not make your own YouTube? You can revive the slogan "Broadcast Yourself", watch the website grow over the years, observe as people become giants in your cyber world, and then realise "Hey, we can make lots of money here! One ad here, another ad there..." and before you know it, you're spotlighting Jake Paul's son's "Buy dat merch" Christmas album.

Dailymotion is our last hope<br>Trust me, it’s the only way we can survive the companization era.

Dailymotion is our last hope
Trust me, it’s the only way we can survive the companization era.

I'd say Facebook is a better place to post content than YouTube is at this point, and they're just as if not more corporate than YouTube. And besides that, twitch and (ironically) pornhub seem to be the biggest actual "video" platforms. The other dedicated alternatives like "bitchute" and "vidlii" are cute, but I can't see them actually getting close to even DailyMotion, and dailymotion is a fucking ghost town.

+Teodor Gumovsky "it takes about 10 minutes max to check those sites" - yeah and after those 10 minutes you wouldn't have discovered a content creator like EmpLemon because you're dividing your attention span between multiple websites. You've gone back to the RSS feed days.

+Vintage Fan "Those sites are pretty unpopular and the lack of revenue" - irrelevant. We're talking about YouTube in a hypothetical state where making a buck out of it is unfeasible (it already is and it's getting worse) and actual good content is hardly recommended because of the necessity to have corporate content at the top.

@Titanium Rain Unlikely; Those sites are pretty unpopular and the lack of revenue, of course. Although, Vimeo and Newgrounds are good sites for creative purposes.

Everyone replying with "get a real job" is missing the big picture. Do you all have enough time in the day to check your sub boxes for Vimeo, bitchute, dtube, etc etc etc and all the freaking websites that your favourite content creators will migrate to?

@SpringyPlush64

Lol, people probably never got revenue from uploading their creativity back then. People got their own jobs and shared their talents in a easy way: the internet! They're could be so much potential to today standards but due to revenue existing in this trash site, the talented are like: "Hurr-durr, I want to make a living out of YouTube by signing greedy contracts and getting revenue out of my creativity! Oh wait. These contracts are just restricting me that I have troubles in the future to get out the contract and I'm earning absolutely nothing! Oh well! Time to earn that sweet revenue by recoding myself playing video games! Cuz, it's more popular by earning the revenue from that than just sharing my talents; let it all go to waste!". It's just a problem (for an example) that most animators just left and became let's players that I dont give a crap about due to their views of revenue. Sure. I get that you deserve something from your talents, but you're getting that from the people that like your works. If talented people want to earn a revenue, they should sell merch based on their works or a Patreon or HAVE A (SECOND) JOB. Higher budget doesn't mean better quality; creativity doesn't always means commerce. People weren't like that back then in the early times of this site and I'd say the revenue system is at fault of all of this corruption on this site. Ever wonder 'why' there's corporations and bloggers on this site and becoming more popular? Because, revenue!

Youtube used to be a wonderful place where people could be themselves and get money for that, be successful about that. You could share your opinions and people would enjoy it because of the honesty, because to be successful meant that you were likeable, and normal people could enjoy your content. This used to be a website where profit was based on being a good person, being a likeable person.. No job can compare to that..

@Tornado Mimi Cyclone I was curious about this site and I'll someday (not) thank you, because you revived my great memories. Everyone. Let's go to VidLii to revive our creativity(?)

I don't want to be rude, but get an actual job? In the beginning of YouTube, people weren't earning revenue at the beginning and yet, they were still able to manage to get their creativity shared.

I remain unconvinced that people <b>should</b> be making a living on YouTube. Based on 99% of the content out there.

Youtube's fucked, everyone go to Nico Nico

anyone who has built a career off youtube should have a plan B in case. think of a second job you might be interested in and maybe even try getting a degree of some kind in that field so that way if something ever does go wrong on YouTube you'll be prepared. Youtube is not a stable platform in general and it's always good to have more than one option.

@Random Konong except twitch doesnt work as a suitable replacement because there are more than gamimg videos on the site.  There are so many videos meant to be meticulously edited and presented. And you cant do that on twitch. All you can do is play video games, vlog, and edit videos.

Someone has to start a video hosting website to compete with youtube. That, and a mass migration needs to happen from youtube to the new platform.

@Wrath's Heinous Anus Was Devoured by Happy Scrappy Ziggyboogiedoog!

At first I kinda chuckled at the thought of every channel that doesn't fit youtubes standards being eradicated, but the more I think about it the more I think we may be witnessing the end of the youtube dream of starting a channel and becoming famous enough to live off it.

we need a youtube killer. i know its been said before, but this really needs to happen, for the sake of creative content.

I cant believe im saying this but im actually rooting for pewds now but then i remembered their are too many indians in india

pewdiepie is that one guy who is a part of us.. he's popular and well knowing in a very different way from anyone else..

by becoming the best just by being a regular guy like us makes people love him like a human being and as a person who survived so many things

Its only fitting that PewDiePie would eventually be replaced by corporate clickbait garbage.

R.I.P Youtube.

@MatMart T-Series puts up every single type of Indian music possible on its channel. Their Popular stuff is trash according to me too. That's the same everywhere in the world. But they got their good music too.

Suyash Awasthi well to be fair I also don’t enjoy watching the vast majority of the mainstream English music which is why I assume that even if I did speak Hindi I would still probably not like T Series. Everyone has their opinions :)

@MatMart You got a pretty negative attitude right there. Stuff  we can't understand deserves a neutral stance if not a positive. I don't understand what half of the world speaks or likes doesn't mean it's terrible. If you go around with that attitude one can never learn anything.

Suyash Awasthi garbage in my  opinion is content that’s not fun for me to watch. Of course a music video in a language I don’t understand is not fun for me to watch. Corporate is something by a corporation.<br>So T-Series is still corporate garbage in my opinion.

@MatMart It is also not corporate garbage. T-Series hires small and unknown artists and provide them platform for getting popular. Although they own a lot of  their earnings but they would be nothing without them.

It’s not clickbait but it is corporate garbage and also I completely disagree with Tom Wes he probably doesn’t even know what those words mean.

T-Series ain't clickbait. They post the name and artist of the song in the title and that's what you get in there video.

Tom Wes pewdiepies clickbaites are for fun


Something great about YouTube is that it really gets shaped for YOU. The things that are actually popular on YouTube disgust me... any time I come to the site NOT logged in, I'm completely horrified. But that's when I realize that YouTube is such a different experience for every user with an account. Despite all the garbage, fluff, and pandering that exist on YouTube, MY YouTube is all the things I want it to be. And they are such wildly different things that sometimes have nothing in common, yet it all comes together into my experience. This is why I never ever come across PewDiePie or T-Series videos, despite them being the most subbed channels. In that sense, there remains something democratic about the site. Even if it doesn't promote you, even if it DEMONETIZES your channel, it will keep showing you to that person whose taste aligns with your channel. That's how I keep hopping to different culture-themed video essays like what this channel makes.


Honestly, reading these comments feels like being that old guy in Matrix Reloaded in front of a whole room full of Neos. This has happened before, you just weren't around to witness it. Youtube stopped being about the "You" in 2007 or so, once Google began to monetize the website through adding adverts. When they let corporations such as Viacom and Colgate (fuck what they did to WalrusGuy and early YTP) run roughshod over people's uploads, hence the 009 Sound System or Drowning Pool. Then by 2009 they started fucking with the layout, and by 2011 all individuality people had with their channel pages was gone.


I'm just now starting to notice the many phases and Era's YouTube has gone through.
Here's the many Era's YouTube has gone through..... Well, at least what I think about the many Era's that this site has gone through.
Era 1 (2005 - 2007): The rise of animation and shitty short films
Era 2 (2008 -  2012): Rise of YouTube poops and more exposure to memes
Era 3 (2013 - 2015): Rise of Gaming and Let's plays
Recent Era (2016 - Now): Vlogs, toy channels, and corporate celebrities.

I miss animations and shitty short films. The good old days.


Whoa.
That sure was a blast from the past.

Really cool with that whole "Scott the Wox, RelaxAlax, NitroRad" being the new era of (Golden age) "JonTron, PBG, AngryJoe" trend.
Kinda the conclusion I came to myself, but neat hearing it in such clear words.

also nostalgia about 2009-2013 era PewDiePie, and then hating him for 2 years, or something

Symbolism. Once T Series takeover, many people(fans, haters, neutrals) will talk.

Youtube was like the Wild West. There were ads but atleast it wasn't unskippable video ads. Remembering the past YT content, poops, let's plays, dramas, educational content, music, animations, gold, shit, etc.

Everyone was scrambling and experimenting with ideas...until everyone was able to figure out how to efficiently squeeze more $ efficiently out of everything.

Good things do come to an end. We are forced to finally accept the new era which came long ago.

Aeth Suneravelos we can call it the official end of the wild west era, and into a industrial revolution. Low quality, bland, and profitable content rules all.


so what if pewdiepie has the most subscribers. how many are actively watching all his videos? let alone active on youtube.
what % of his viewers take the time to comment on his content. and what does he do that is even worth getting attention?
all things come to an end. it is normal.


It happened... The streak is over

Surprised we held off for so long, but we can still hit 100M first


Another win for weaponized memes! Pewdiepie is back on top baby!


Look at it this way: so far the campaigns to keep Pewdiepie number one have been successful. T series should have overtaken Pewds by now but a lot of Youtubers seem to finally be saying “enough is enough, we’re standing up for our own kind”.

I’m fearful for this future that’s actually occurring.


this whole video is just proof the gamers are being oppressed in TODAY'S SOCIETY THAT WE LIVE IN


I remember being 12-13 years old when PewDiePie was popular.  It hurts me to see a brand take his #1 spot.  I liked having an average guy be #1.  It's sad to see him not be the top dog.


I think he should still be technically counted as the number 1 because T-Series is a corporation and PewDiePie is an actual home-grown YouTuber


i used to be one of those people who didn't like pewdiepie back in the day but i have to give him his props for changing with the times. it would've been real easy for him to stick with that same kind of pandering, 'kid friendly' content but he took his channel the direction he wanted to take it and that's pretty admirable. especially nowadays when everyone's so content to ride the wave of doing the same thing over and over as long as it gets them their revenue.


He is still the most subscribed youtuber, even if he doesn't have the most subscribed youtube channel.


Damn I might not have watched a Pewdiepie video in almost a decade but nothing's gonna change the fact that some of the first videos I ever watched on the site were him screaming at Happy Wheels back in 2009, from my friend's basement in between rounds of CoD. That shit was hilarious... and now I'm real sad.


I think it's basically the end of original content on YouTube


I really enjoy the fact that these cooperations with the backing of millions of dollars spent on their videos and advertisements, still couldn't match a single human being with little to no resources. It's even better that pewdiepie wasn't ambitious, greedy, cruel or a self serving narcissist. He had gained his audience with his personality, and charisma and he kept that for so many years.  He never let fame go to his head, nor did he break down, he had always remained humble. Not only that, he matures with his audience, we get to see this silly kid grow up to be wiser and gains a better sense of the world as he age. He makes the videos he wanted without trying to strategically pander or lie to his audience for more views. Sure, he made mistakes, he's human after all, but none of it resulted in maliciousness. However, Youtube had been bought by Google and Google is a cooperation. For a while, the top dogs tried to bring Pewdiepie down to serve cooperate interests. Now Youtube doesn't let Pewdiepie get promoted anymore? That sucks. Too bad Youtube, Wall Street Journal and the other top company's had to artificially bring him down so they could bring the mass media back up. In the end, it's wealth, and power that would triumph.


Imagine if everyone in China had a youtube account, and they were all subscribed (because they have to be) to the official channel of their God Emperor Xi Jinping. Oh wow, 1.4 billion subs, dude!

Lol, if India is so late to the party, maybe the next big YouTube personality will be some random Indian dude. India has more people than Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia combined, and the world of technology has in general always been focused on Western civilization. It would be an interesting change, though I image not everyone would be happy with it.

@EverestBlizzard China has their own version of YouTube, soooooooo.. everyone move to chinatube

People in rural China don't have internet xD

Akash Singh you have helped explain the situation so much, thank you.

@Scientist Walter people are hungry and tseries is feeding them with quality content. No one in india right now making quality content becuase no one has that much money plus tseries getting views alot which is beneficial for youtube so they are also helping tseries in promotion like if you make a new youtube account in india youtube will show you tseries on your home screen as suggestion even some people said if you make new account YouTube automatically subscribe you to tseries in india which i dont think is true because i never saw it personally

Well that certainly explains the sudden growth, but why T-Series out of all the indian youtube channels?

it's not all about population yes population is playing a major role for Tseries but in recent years internet usages increasing very fast in India because of cheap fiber plans and cellular data. I have 100 Mbps plan with no download limit what so ever and I pay only 10$ per month it was not possible 2 years before that is the reason so many Indian channels crossing 10 mil subscriber mark very easily and Indian viewers are hungry for content right now...this is the best time for Indian YouTubers even I have one channel with 20k subs I am not even serious about youtube stuff


1:59
... you always know how to make me laugh


I remember when I would get on Youtube
And just.. Find a Minecraft or Super Mario 64 let's play, and just enjoy the content for what it was.. It was the same game over-and-over, but I never got tired of it..
I just... Enjoyed it..
Nobody in my family will ever get that, they're older than me. It feels like everything that I have so many great memories of has either been shut down, or flooded with emotionless capitalism.. 😢😭


Sorry,  but everyone over the age of 16 knows the real issue with subscription system.

They changed the sub box from beautiful shiny gold,  to period red.


I never really liked pewdepie’s content on YouTube, but I do respect him. He built a YouTube channel that has more reach over audiences bigger than massive corporations that spend millions just to get as much attention as him. He is a self-made man on YouTube. Seeing his channel getting overtaken by a corporate channel shows that building a successful channel from the ground up is nearly impossible at this point.


Welp it was great feeling like a community on YouTube but guys it's official over, YouTube has finished it's corporate transformation

@E Figueroa my man you might be right but i'm pretty sure it was a joke


I’d say pewdiepie grew up with his viewers. Dunno if it was coincidence or observation and calculation, but it was a good move


T-series becoming #1 in youtube won't hurt anyone really. I think of it as changing the Face of youtube, and seeing a corporate channel become the first thing outside people will see in youtube is hard for us who are here since its formation. We want the face that represents youtube to be acceptable and exactly "You" in what Youtube is. Emp is totally right that in this age, subs doesn't matter at all as long as we know what youtube is and what it is supposed to represent.<br>But sometimes even that becomes foggy as the eyes of traditional media sneaks slowly to youtube

I love how Pewdiepie essentially de-cancered his entire fanbase of millions by making fun of them until they shut the fuck up.


Anyone else find it odd that T-Series was still getting subscribers even though YT went down worldwide?

It was NOT worldwide if you watched time works vid, even though I am on team PewDiePie it is a fact that it was NOT worldwide.


Will the end of this era lead to an era where Emplemon finally makes ytp again?

I mean his current vids have ytp editing so its coool


Alternate title: there will Never Ever be another youtuber like PewDiePie


We have to sadly accept our fates from the corporate Indian overlords. R.I.P YouTube, hello Corprotube.


One thing I'm going to have to disagree with:
"He was hated for the same reasons that people like the Paul brothers are hated today"

nah, back then it was just "he's annoying!!!" or "his fans are annoying!1!".
People hate the Paul brothers because they do legitimately shitty things and are generally shitty people; manipulating kids, using exes for views, etc. and yet they're still allowed to be popular because...YouTube likes them, I guess? Pewdiepie wasn't outed for being some despicable person at least.

I think this says more about the bar back then of how many shitty people had an audience v.s. now. Back then, if "their fanbase is so annoying!" was the thing people were hyper focused on, it says there probably wasn't as much shit as there is on YouTube today. Today we have people like the Paul brothers, those hypocrites from the Beauty community, Ricegum, Onision (he's an OG YouTuber but back in 2012-2013 it wasn't widely know), and these people practically fund channels.

Though I do have to say, if people thought Pewds was "family friendly" back then, lolno. He had a sense of humor full of sex jokes, curses, everything under the sun. He just accidentally attracted a bunch of tweens/teens, including this girl XD


It about time to be honest just kinda sad it took a professional company to do it....now expect them to be in every rewind


In Pewdiepie’s name, we have tanked the rewind.


He is the Still the No.1 Man on Youtube.


Pewdiepie showed the world that some random ass person becoming famous on some random ass website is possible and he started the YouTube gold rush where millions of people poured in with that dream of being rich too. He was there at the right time in history then changed the course of it but now that rush has ended and now the era he and most of us lived in is gone. God speed old YouTube you were very bad but also very good at the same time and there will never be another person like pewdiepie for as long as I live, may you brofist in peace.


Its clear that Pewds was never #1 in YT for most subs but idk why he was even crowned that in the first place. But pewds remains to be number one content creator.

This does not dismiss your argument in the vid however but the landscape of YT has turned into more corporate like feeling and in a way it feels like watching the news. It’s clean yet not too extensive.


Also I love how many people refrence Ninja when a small portion have been watching him for almost 10 years, at most hated him  because his play style often fucked his team over (Halo the game that created e sports).


I finally subbed to you, you jew. Your content is that good and I cleared empty subscriptions so might as well fill in some less empty ones.

I can certaintly say, being a empty subscriber to some people, that your view on that matter must be as accurate as a youtube theory can get.


I think Pewdiepie’s journey was like the American Dream: a nobody who becomes popular and fulfills his dreams using his own skills and merits.<br>Then again, YouTube was born in America.

So, during the #YoutubeDown event, SocialBlade noted that T-Series was still getting subs despite YT being down.

What if Youtube went down because YT wanted to see if T-Series was sub boting?

It wasn't down worldwide, just in certain areas

It wasn't down worldwide, just in certain areas

pewdiepie also gained subs during the outage....

How could social blade tell if YouTube was down?

Samlegitimate depends on where you are. For you it may have been between 6 and 8, but for me it was down around 12pm.

@Ryan Miller axtually alot of people had YT go down for them

But PewDiePie was also getting subs during #YoutubeDown

Davidci Codex This is only half-related, but I remember when YouTube was down, but I thought it was only for me, so I was legitimately surprised when I learned that everyone got it.

Maybe tseries is being supported by google

Maybe tseries is being supported by google

@Ryan Miller Still stupid that T Series is replacing Pewds not from actual good content but because it is the only way Indian dudes  can listen to music

@Ryan Miller I just find it hard to believe, no one outside of India would watch this to start with. This also means everyone in India would need to not only own a phone or computer that works and subscribe to this channel instead of just looking it up

@Ryan Miller I got a feeling T-series is boting

@Ryan Miller I got a feeling T-series is boting

I wouldn’t be surprised although it wasn’t down in India

it went down for everyone but europe was sleeping when it happened

Wat? Youtube went down? It didnt go down for me in uk

joe i don't believe in imperialism, i'm speaking from a contemporaneous perspective. on a cost benefit analysis imperialism is a bad idea for every party involved, i'd have preferred for it not to have happened

try to actually address the argument instead of flinching at certain pavlovian buzzwords

@Eadmund Isen-Healf that went from 0 to imperial nonesense real quick

joe, the big three indian leaders, nehru, tagore and gandhi, all agreed with the goals of our imperial project, they just disagreed with who was in charge. we british loved india (i'm not american if you didn't notice), a legacy unfairly besmirched largely due to churchill's logistics choices during wwii. indians need to shed the victimhood in order to actually have pride in themselves, to try and benefit from both masks at once is self-deception at best, and the sheer level of insecurity shows how fragile the veneer is. they are capable of being a great people, to do so they need to take command of their narrative

@Eadmund Isen-Healf indians are brought up patriotic, just as americans are. And even if it was a long time ago it still left a lasting impact on india that continues to this day.

joe wow it's almost as if that excuses a people to act like a bunch of insecure whining victims towards people who personally had nothing to do with it, while at the same time pretending to be proud

@Eadmund Isen-Healf something to do with 150 years of rule

amitabha, why are indians always so bitter towards the anglosphere?

Not down in India, and the map shows that the majority of problems were reported in US, and UK. Of course, it's still a problem for them to admit they are not the centre of the universe.

Eu didn't get effected by that tho, maybe india wasn't either? Idk

The Final Boss when someone in India signs up to google it automatically subs to T - Series

It was not down in India I can confirm...

It was not down in India I can confirm...

Whether there's a bot or not, I don't really care that much. It's still sad that Pewd's would be ovethrown by a corporation though.

I live in the us. when did youtube go down because when I got off work I saw it comments in a bunch of avideos. I was lost af.

I thought there was the theory that folks in India who make a new account are automatically subbed to T-Series

Rookie it was down early in the morning, at like 6-8...

@Rookie what i saw os that it didnt go down at the same time for everyone, for example when i was on YouTube and it shut down i went on Twitter and there were tweets about this that were tweeted hours ago while it just happened to me

YouTube itself literally stated YouTube was down worldwide.

Indigo AOP no it didn't for me....it didn't go down in India

Since google bought youtube, that might have been people just making new google accounts.


Four months later... Pewds and T-Series won over 20m subs and he's still at #1

The war keeps on going


This is just echoing the internet, in a way. The internet used to be more individualistic, where the individual was still important; where we formed communities, not networks. I mean, think about it, what the fuck do our comments and videos mean? These corporations and governments have far greater reach than any of us individually, and so for every one who understands the situation, there will be 10 people who are content with the status quo (boomers, children, teenagers just looking at music videos, 3rd-worlders, etc).


Lol I love how he hasn’t even been overtaken yet

flame tomato IKR, Top 10 anime plot twists

Purple Wolf I know but I’m very suprised he has lasted this long, the sub gap is 1 million so he’s got quite some time left


He'll still be called the "no. 1 individual youtuber" or "no. 1 independent youtuber" or whatever else


Your points are exactly right .. I feel like even if T surpasses Pewds, he's worked much harder, for much longer, & it's a much more amazing feat than some combo indian-VEVO channel growing from the pure spam of many people's content... Try doing that as one guy, with one style, & one demographic. For YEARS. Pewds is truly our benevolent ruler forever & ever. 💙👊💙


This actually hurts to see this happen. Like wow I growing up with YouTube is certainly something. Pewdiepie’s era of YouTube was the one where I had so much enjoyment of this platform. I just don’t get the same kick out of it anymore. I mean I still like to watch people but something just feels off. Like something is missing or forgotten. YouTube has definitely run its course and the celebrities and mainstream media have definitely gotten its grip on this website and it certainly shows in many aspects.


If they at least make a goodbye felix part in the next rewind I might forgive them a little bit(a tiny bit )


10:39 the first quote actually says that 9-year olds watch him. They predicted the future


T-series shows that a company spitting out 6 videos a day with the support of youtube and all most of India will make the channel survive.
Edit: fixed India

Hey man.  This is irrelevant to this specific video, but your "empty subscriber" video is nearing your subscriber count.

In a week, you also have roughly a 36% empty subscriber rate on this video with 380k subscribers.  Congratulations dude, you are successfully alienating the edgelords and are ascending to new heights.


PewDiePie is all might, they both represent an era of greatness, and fall fighting against someone far bigger then them, but there ideals will live on


4:41 That brought back a tear of nostalgia


Well it finally happened and I don't think we're coming to back this time.


I find it sad, having the one person who will take down the king, be a stupid corporate Monopoly in India. At least it was fun while it lasted.

well, look at the good side, a whole fucking country (the second most populated country in the WORLD) had to join forces to defeat a single man, which really shows how powerful pewds was

It's what happened to all our kings.  We grew decadent and childish, disregarded our rulers and raised up faceless corporate giants to take their place.


I will always think of T Series with bitterness and contempt. Corporations do not deserve an honor such as most subscribers.


And we still put up a huge fight before they passed.


" Pewdiepie doesn't represent actual youtube "
" Now they all apeal to 9 year olds "
Really hope someone sees what's wrong with this statement, as a 9 year old i sure do.


What would happen if a new Video Content Sharing site was made with simple and basic features, no corporate/commercial tie-ins, and a slowly growing community nowadays?
Would it rise and die the same way YouTube did? Would it even become more popular than Youtube, in the way YouTube became more popular than Newgrounds?

I don't know why but I keep on having this spark of hope that when T-series surpasses Pewdiepie that YouTube would just terminate T-series immediately just to joke around about Pewdiepie not being number 1 for a few seconds. <br>Just this lingering hope that YouTube is human and they just want a joke before terminating a channel  that cheats the system.

YouTube hasnt been human for 5-6 years since Google became evil and greedy and Google is who owns YouTube.


It’s like it is when we have had too many people move into the place I live. Yeah, I appreciate being able to drive to the store in 10 minutes rather than 20 or 30 minutes. The nice quality internet is nice too.

But I was raised in the woods. I remember a lot of where I live as just trees and fields. It’s just in the long run, I’m gonna miss the way things used to be more than the qualities of life brought on by the yanks who came here in droves, bringing civilization in their eyes.

At some point things gotta end, and we all saw corporate youtube coming a while ago...

Now to remember the good times of the past, lets look into the forst big youtuber, Fred

T-series is a corp.
Felix is a content creator.

Kind of different.


I'm surprised Dollar Shave Club allows you to make fun of their product. I thought big companies don't allow that? (This is a genuine question; I'm not being sarcastic.)

He wasn't allowed to do this, it's illegal. He is in prison now that's why he didn't post in a while, watch his twitter you'll find out.


The saddest part of this video was the outro when it showed a picture of Brock Lesnar beating the Undertaker streak, that really hit me where I live


Blinded by money and fueled by corporations funneling their money through it, Youtube has become the very thing it swore to destroy. Its motto was "Broadcast Yourself". The question back then was "how", but now it is "why". Pewdiepie got big because he knew the "how". Back then, before Youtube was hyper-profitable, Felix knew how to grow his channel. He displayed himself. Thats all people wanted. Someone they could look up to in the new frontier that was Youtube. It was as if, if Pewdiepie could do it, so could you. But Youtube has since become greedy. They are no longer the underdogs. they are no longer a cool, safe platform to express yourself and get away from it all. It is now an empire, protected by walls of asshole vloggers who upload four times a day every day with the most bland content imaginable, as well as massive companies whose sole goal is to earn your view, play their ad, and collect their revenue. These horrible walls will only get taller, and they will only get stronger. They may never come down. Not in our lifetimes, anyways. But as large as these walls get to protect this empire, we, as subscribers and viewers, must always remember the foundation . Youtube was built upon people like us. Pewdiepie, Smosh, Jontron, you name it. And we must never forget that. Gone are the days of "Broadcast Yourself", as the days of "Broadcast your Company for Free Ad Revenue" are neigh. You tube, is now Reve nue tube. But as long as we remember our brothers and sisters and continue their support, they will still survive in the shadows. They do not need to be at the top, but they only need our support. They need our support, because one day, Youtube will make ONE mistake, and they will all become bankrupt. All of the corporations: Vevo, T-series and all corporations alike will come crashing down due to one small change. They will no longer receive the millions of views they require to survive. They will die. All that will be left... will be the Pewdiepies. The individuals. And Youtube will beg for their mercy. I do not know when this day will come, nor does anybody. But it will come. It will come eventually. And until then, we will wait. Our time will come. Then, Youtube will have no choice but to let us "Broadcast Ourselves". Mark my words. This day will come. And when it does, we will have our website back.

Either that or some form of reliable competition arises and everyone flocks to that place. It hasn't been done yet, but Google isn't the only tech giant.

I haven't read it all but I clearly got the point

Read this with the soviet anthem playing

Thank me later

zZNightOwlZzz z people tend to dislike emojis because it’s often used by people that can’t express themselves with words and resort to using vapid face-words.

Man this is about the best fantasy that I hope comes true man.

_ Meteorite21 _ of course you were trolling. No one would read my comments (which nearly all of them have a single emoji if they even have an emoji that is) and think to themselves "ugh this man is so childish...stop using emojis your argument is invalid"

@z NightOwl z well then I won't judge you now. I'll stop<br>I'm not trolling. It just feels uncivilized

@z NightOwl z well then I won't judge you now. I'll stop
I'm not trolling. It just feels uncivilized

_ Meteorite21 _ okay now I KNOW you're trolling..if I added 5 emojis sure your complaint might work but dude. I didn't really add many of my comments with emojis and when I did the most was literally 2 emojis. The rest were just 1. So I can tell that you're obviously trolling

@z NightOwl z I honestly hate your emoji replies. That made me respond here.<br>It's all a normal complaint until you add emojis. It feels so inappropriate to add it in a middle of a comment

@z NightOwl z I honestly hate your emoji replies. That made me respond here.
It's all a normal complaint until you add emojis. It feels so inappropriate to add it in a middle of a comment

isabellelover109 the most laughing emojis in one of my comments was literally 2

isabellelover109 okay writing one or two emojis because someone said or is saying something stupid isn't the equivalent of just downright writing 15 laughing emojis in a row...

isabellelover109 it's called one person making a comment while multiple people tag him and agree...no one is talking to each other and no one writing more than one comment other than I and those tagging me. If it's a conversation it's a one sided conversation where one person is having multiple people say one or two sentences and then leave and someone else does the same thing right afterwords. Not a conversation

@z NightOwl z so you are saying because he had an accent early on in his career that means he didn't know how to get subs? well, thats obviously incorrect because of all o fthe subscribers he has.

_ Meteorite21 _ and no...you just sound like one of those cringy fanboys...whatever “knight crusade” joke you’re all playing about pewdiepie’s accomplishments on YouTube it’s not funny. It’s embarrassing. When pewdiepie started YouTube he really just played CoD and didn’t speak very good English sort of...it’s salty, go back to reddit or 4Chan

_ Meteorite21 _ bruh what tf does that have to with what he said😂 I don’t give a fuck about him being a good YouTuber. The dude said he knew how to make himself popular as if pewdiepie was a strategic genius when he’s not

@z NightOwl z come on. You still don't see why pewdiepie is the favorite here?

@z NightOwl z Lord Pewdiepie knew how. He knew what the people want.

Unclear Sector you just sounded like some dude making a rant about the "good old times" as if YouTube was the only aspect of your life...like dude. It's YouTube. You wanna reminisce then go watch the Internet historian

Unclear Sector why?😂 in the comment it says pewdiepie knew how YouTube worked and he knew how to make himself popular but it was the exact opposite...he wasn't even good at speaking English when he started YouTube. If he knew how to make himself popular it'd be just in Sweden 😂

zZNightOwlZzz z i had a stroke reading this

Unclear Sector Bruh no! Actually listen to pewdiepie he didn’t even feel comfortable doing YouTube. You just made that all up in your head because you wanted to make some in depth story...

YouTubers! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are! We are lions! Do you know what's there, waiting beyond that beach of corporate scum and ad revenue? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!


It's signaling the end of the Homemade internet, being replaced by the corporate internet


It doesn’t matter what number he is at he will still be the best youtuber


Through the rise of T Series, more corporations will appear on YouTube. Wait a minute,..."corporations"....

It was Vince McMahon all along!

Only trump has the guts to beat him and shave his hair entirely

@God Awful Content I haven't thought about that man in so many years


the you tube lore changed from "an unfunny pop tart crust is the king of youtube" to "an unfunny pop tart crust and some guys in india are in a power struggle for the number one spot of king of youtube"

I Like'nt This Individual Homosapien Before Me


Definitely fell into the camp of hating his guts at the beginning.  Recommended to me hell and back by YT, by friends, and it wasn't something I could just roll my eyes at, it was something that actively hurt to watch with how loud it got and when it wasn't what you had was some guy stammering harder than Obama without a teleprompter.  It didn't help that when the creator of Let's Play, Slowbeef made a video pointing out how obnoxious, bad taste, and low quality his content was, his response was to post a comment saying to keep doing these videos because it netted him more money, the bottom of the barrel response devoid of any value.

My guess is due to indulging in that type of content, the recommendations for him largely stopped, and instead YT began recommending more fitting channels.  He'd pop back up again when he had that kill all jews fiasco and saying n*gger while giggling, but it was indifference.  Then we get to here, where suddenly my friends start saying we need to subscribe to him to beat T-Series to 100mil and naturally the response is hell no, why would I subscribe to this wailing racist clown just to beat another channel I know nothing about.  Then they began to put his meme review up on for Thursdays when we'd hang out...and it was the same sensation as watching a before and after for a fat person dropping 400lbs, it was the polar opposite of what he did back in 2012/2013.  It wasn't particularly funny, but I got a chuckle here and again, which is an infinite upgrade from pure suffering.

Probably the closest I've been to kind of liking him was seeing how varied his interactions were, it wasn't strictly mainstream crap, there were some genuine callbacks to old YT.  Seeing "Touhou music is hella lit" in my recommended one day felt like a fever dream and seeing his mug in the top right...I thought it was clickbait, surely enough it was real and I laughed for the first time at PDP.  Then it links me a video of him watching perhaps the oldest Touhou animation, Marisa Stole the Precious Thing and he's just gushing over the fact that he used to sing that song when he was in high school...and then being a bit weirded out listening to it, a normal response for aged content.

At the end of the day...yeah I would much prefer him be at the top versus this manufactured frankenstein YOUtube has elected to build.  Even if you create something that is genuinely revolutionary, someone will swoop in and take virtually all the credit/attention.  Spike Chunsoft created DanganRonpa, something at risk of dying early in development due to Japan's sensitivity on blood and murder of students, something that only ever came to the West thanks to a single person translating the first game on the forum that invented Let's Play, and now Squid Game has run away with the formula and made bank, while its inspiration just barely broke 5 million sales across three games over the course of 11 years.


This is kinda starting to get awkward since he’s still #1 after almost 2 Months.

2 months isn't forever.  T-Series is predicted to have 150M subs by 2020, I wish pewdiepie good luck, but I don't see it as feasible.


The no. 1 guy that genuinely cares. Thanks, Pewds.


Felix is still number 1 four months later😎👌🏼


Despite me being a newer youtuber, I always try to keep it about the You in YouTube. rip oldtube


Someone should hire poodlecorp or someone to hack t-series and make them don't feel so good

They'll be idiots and hack the wrong people again

@gavrilo princip yep, it's almost been a decade for me being on this site, since 2009, didn't have an account watching stopmotion and hearing let the bodies hit the floors in those videos and then the gaming and Minecraft makers including sky and PewDiePie then over to stuff like Battlefield and DayZ, And then remembering when LizardSquad, Anonymous and Poodlecorp were around and leafy, then seeing the downfall and then seeing donutoperators chanel, seeing Rhodesia and a bunch of Just skeptic community youtuber and other right wingers, memes and seeing PewDiePie's channel and now seeing this video and comment makes think and I agree, time sure flies by fast

I just remember all of those hacker groups.. Time sure flies

They got arrested a while back I think...


17 mins of Emperor Lemon simping on Pewd.


can we get uhhhhh
rip in peace for all the good dudes on this website
ya know jontron,ya home boy idubbz
and you're favorite asswipetuber,king orange


IMO monetization is the sole reason youtube started its downward spiral. It was no longer about making videos for entertainment, it was for money.  It started with reply girls, then bloggers who spammed the tags. People slowly wanted more and more of that revenue that actual content was being ignored. Youtube doesnt care, if youtubers make money they make money. So they promote the most cancerous types of commercial videos just so they can gain a profit.<br>They could have easily just had ads on the main site or on the sides, but no they gave scumbags the opportunity to make easy cash and they ate it all up.

Emp: YT has become bad cause of business.
Emp: 16:00 Let's do business!


Pewdie pie will always number one in our hearts


I really can't wait to see your response on the clusterfuck that was Rewind 2018


Im kind of sad that it was pewdiepie at the top any, since his content is absolute garbage. But having him as most subscribed would still be better than a company.


The first time I had ever heard the name “T Series” was in this video.


Soon there will be a new video platform that will surpass YouTube.


2010-2014 YouTubers were hated just for having bad content. Ex. Ray William Johnson, Pewdiepie.

2015 and on- YouTubers were hated because they were just insane. Ex. Onision, Logan Paul.


Pewds reign hasn't ended. He is still the king of YouTube. All of us critisizing T series don't even watch the channel, nor COULD we.

Tbh I feel like it's being blown way out of proportion.


i like how it shows pewdiepies subscriber count in the video, and now its 10 million more and not looking like its stopping anytime soon


You should do a minute memes finale! Where you review they did surgery on a grape and then talk about how bad it is and then end there.


This video aged like milk

Still a good video nonetheless


Nice video, i really enjoyed it watching this.<br>Greetings from Liechtenstein

Nice video, i really enjoyed it watching this.
Greetings from Liechtenstein


Even when he is taken over by T-Series many people, including myself, won't accept it.  Not because of saltyness of fanboyism but because Youtube was not and is not a place for mainstream corporations to make a name for themselves.  Having someone like Pewdiepie on top vs a channel that handles hundreds of mainstream pop stars under 1 roof are not even comparable.  It's not a place they earned, it's a place they BOUGHT.  As far as I'm concerned, the only people on the top subs list that are deserving to be called Youtubers are the individuals themselves that started from scratch and built  their fanbase.  VEVO channels and corporate conglomerates may as well be blank spaces on that list in my eyes.  Pewdiepie is still far from being surpassed by a real Youtuber


Damn... its so weird seeing EMP being sponsored...

☢WARNING:DANGEROUS AMOUNTS OF DOWNWARD SPIRAL AHEAD.

Just when you thought the spiral couldn't get any more downward.


I love how he says not 4 but $5 as though it was a better deal for Dollar Shave Club. LOL. I know that was the joke, but still.


Pewdiepie's still the biggest single content creator


Not enough people are pointing out that Emp showed a screenshot of Scott the Woz , before he really took off.


Tseries isn’t a YouTuber though, it’s a faceless corporation so pewdiepie will always be the most subscribed YouTuber


I remember people framed the pewdiepie vs t-series as a race thing instead of a independent creator vs a corporate creator


1:57
Mr Beast: Hold my beer
Youtube Community: Hold ours beers

1:57
*Mr Beast:* Hold my beer
*Youtube Community:* Hold ours beers


Its not over If we continue to fight all of us together we can win


T-series may be the number 1 channel one YouTube now, but it is not the #1 creator, it is just a corporate corporation that is huge and on youtube, not an individual.


I’d say Chuggaaaconroy pretty much invented let’s plays when he played Earthbound back in 2008


I use YouTube a lot, a daily basis for with varying amounts of time spent on it per week. And id say my subscribed channels make up maybe 40 percent at most.


15:36 ok. If i have ever have money to donate with patreon. I'm definitely gonna use that name


This video held false for a long time, but now we finally seem to be on the verge of losing, at 84.5 Subscribers. We will see if there is something else that happens.


TO THIS DAY (4 months after this vid was uploaded) PEWDIEPIE IS STILL AT THE TOP!


It looks like YouTube is going into a DOWNWARD SPIRAL.


Well atleast mr beast a guy who used to make bleach jokes and make fun of bad intros is one of the biggest youtubers on the site now. There is still hope for the little guy, just a bit more clickbait might be needed.


What drives me insane is that the very thing the made to "fix" the sub box they broke also. Even if you have the bell on you still don't get notified immediately and it's still weighted. I don't understand it.

Maybe is to hinder the 'FIRST!' comments, lol

Just another thing for bland popular channels to beg for at the beginning (and the end) of their video.


sooner or later Youtube will become just cable and when a new website to actually broadcast yourself appears people will go there, it just can't happend soon enough.


Yeah he's still number one. Yeah, technically not true, but can you honestly say that anything changed after T-Gay "took over"?


But in the end T-series lost the battle to 80,000,000 but is still at war fir the spot


The age of rising independent YouTube creators is over. Now we have music industries shitting out mediocre music video after another. Sooner of later, I wouldn't be surprised if YouTube's creators were nothing but movie stars vlogging about their lives just to earn a quick buck.


The saddest part in all this is we may never ever get to see Scare Sewdiepie season 2.


Wow what a fantastic video!! Subscribed :)


Dude I remember when nigahiga was number one i loved those days


When I use twitch chat, I normally don't feel like I am actually interacting with the streamer because the chats are filled with obnoxious spam.

Piggux he’s not a clone, he’s his stand ゴゴゴゴゴゴ

Don’t watch big streamers. And try to avoid most story based games because they might avoid the chat because of spoilers.

reminds me of something else obnoxious... justin y and his clones

Depends on who you're watching. There's plenty of smaller, nicer streamers who do interact.

Maybe stop watching Ninja and Forsen and try a smaller streamer. Lots of good smaller streamers interact with their chats.

That's just cause you're watching huge streamers who have to avoid chat because it's like a cesspool of utter garbage. Smaller streamers tend to be very interactive.

Justin Y's Stand what’s the stands power? Being the worlds biggest virgin?


Somebody could create an algorithm that creates new accounts that subscribe to one person which is another reason subs don't matter anymore


Do people really consider t series as a legit channel 😂


His downfall came when he started becoming red pilled.


4 months later still going strong, thoughts?


I genuinely think that pewd isn't gonna lose


i used to hate PewDiePie because I was a bandwagon hater

This video changed me.


>nothing's really gonna stop them

except for the 9 year olds


Im going to still miss having genuinely good letsplayers be prominent on the site (mostly because im a jobless boi piggybacking on my parents to make it through college until i at least get my associates, so i dont have time to play games anymore hardly), but in the same token, im also glad that more channels like Jontron and Egoraptor are becoming prominent again. Although subscrubers wont matter anymore to the same degree that it used to, i can at least enjoy the fact that theres genuinely good content resurging in both the game review and animation genre.

God bless TerminalMontage, he's pretty much the Egoraptor of modern youtube.


The music industry gas was the most views is that the type of videos you make so that was better for gaming community died and I’ve been saying that


rewatching because the end
is near for
PewDiePie


The fall of YouTube and the rise of TheyTube

I feel like they would go slightly more cringey like UsTube or WeTube

@julie cool that's only available in communist countries.

More like UsTube. It's been this way for a good minute though

YouTube has been on downward spiral since so long.


Nothing is gonna stop them..... EXCEPT FOR MR BEAST!!!


Idk it is a bit sad that the number 1 youtuber is gonna be a corporation & not a man who basically built his channel from the ground up over the last (almost) decade


We are in the cable TV era of YouTube now


Emp, you forgot that for small channels, you're not even allowed monetization until you hit 1k subs. So youtube is still forcing the relevancy of sub counts even to this day. Also the reason he's so well-loved now is because a lot of his fans have grown up and still love him. Also as someone who's never cared for him, I definitely prefer his reaction-type videos more than his older let's play stuff. He also just seems to have improved at comedy in general.

@peri That sucks, man. I hope things work out for you. I've decided to take a more chill approach to my channel, because there's a slim chance I'll ever get anywhere near the monetization threshold. Just gonna have fun with it while I still can.

Punkyagogo On my legit account I’m grinding and grinding but have been stuck at 700 for a long time now.


I only make flipnote animations (but lazy on uploading) but this makes me worried about the far future of youtube, if it even has a future


tseries is a company, not really a YouTuber, and there were already channels in front of him (gaming, music, sports)


@jone_especially Sorry for some dank ass reason this comment showed up on another video with 500 views

HOLY SHIT THIS HAS MORE LIKES THAN THE VIEW COUNT OF THE VIDEO WHAT IN GODS NAME HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE<br>?.

Chadtronic HOLY FRICK GUYS!! IT’S CRONICTRAD!!!

i was half aslsep watching this and i kinda started tearing up when he said pdp was just some dude. shit is really insane

Shhh...no tears now....you beautiful  man-child.

Chadtronic woah I haven't watched your video win forever

It made me pretty sad as well, i have a lot of nostalgia and memories from watching youtube, including you, chad.


there will never ever be another #1 youtuber again


1 million subscribers away... it was fun while it lasted


That awkward moment when pewds still has more subscribers than t series


T series is a faceless company <br>And pewds is a real person

T series is a faceless company
And pewds is a real person


emp lemon had no idea what was about to unfold


In the current state of youtube, it makes sense a corporation has taken over, its no longer a place for free content and opinions


well t-series isnt technically a single youtuber so....


12:12 «he will probably never be as popular as he once was»

Proceeds to smash the old youtube subscriber records...


Once they started censoring him and screwing him over people started to support him more.


And a month and a half later the day has almost arrived.


When people begin to ask WHO is the best youtuber ever. Everyone will say pewdiepie since the question wasn't WHAT was the best channel ever.


Christ I was one of those people who hated Pewdiepie and not I'm subscribed and watch regularly. He totally morphed in the type of interaction and content he produces, and it kind of payed off? <br>His fans and others came out in force in a massive subscriber campaign that any marketing person would have a wetdream about which is in itself amazing.

PewDiePie is still #1 independent creator.


apparently T-Series was still gaining subs even tho youtube was DOWN


Looking forward to "YouTube Rewind Reality Check 2018 #TankTheRewind2ElectricBoogaloo"


Punished Felix

A hero denied by his platform.


I like to think that pewdiepies audience is those 7-8 year olds that subscribed in 2008.

It’s 10 years later now and we are 18 and just not YouTube’s target audience. We just don’t have the same available time as children to put screen hours.

@just some random guy and I'm random :D lol

Jagwar X Ummmm excuse, but we are nine years old. So please be patient.


So true dude. With that said, is there a possibility of creating another YouTube?


Am I the only one who 100% prefers youtube to twitch for let's plays? I want editing, I like focus. Twitch doesn't have that.


I demand separate sub lists for human run channels and company run channels


YouTube is crushing the same people that gave it the power to crush them in the first place.


Hopefully the cycle will start again and we’ll get the original content we want sometime soon


>Watch EmpLemon rant video<br>>Cry because YouTube wont ever be as good again

>Watch EmpLemon rant video
>Cry because YouTube wont ever be as good again


T-Series were at 10m subs AND 10b views in October, and then went to 50m subs and 50b views within 9 months, even crossing the 20m/20b threshold only days apart. That would mean that every new viewer, on average, watches 1,000 T-Series videos. That's on average. So for every sub that only watches, say, five videos, another sub would have had to watch 1,995 videos.


I never actually realized that pewdiepie a few years back was kinda like the paul brothers. Guess it was because I was an annoying fan boy.


frigging cooperations ruining the fun of the real memers and average Joe's making a living off of videos by pushing their mainstream overrated garbage and shutting down anyone who wants to use more than 2 seconds of a song in a video<br>the internet isn't dying, it's becoming zombified by the big guys with all the money

I'm gonna support the small resistance movement that still strives for making quality, well written content. I don't want corporate tube to become a thing. We gotta support that "people" of YouTube, not the companies


EmperorLemon, I want you to go online and buy a royal blue tang and then record yourself frying it on a pan. After that, you can upload it and call it "PanFrying Dory", that way you can psyche out the people hounding you to make Frying Dory.


Here’s the thing.
PewDiePie is still the best youtuber.
That channel is the best youtuberS


THE WAR HAS JUST BEGUN YOUNG LEMON. HE IS STILL ON TOP


I feel like PewDiePie’s modern popularity relying without algorithms, and numbers feels more genuine. T-Series (which by the way is rumored to automatically sub anyone who lives in the region) will just be another thing with big numbers, and nothing else.

It's honestly not that much of a stretch when you consider that music is huge in india

@Kenneth Paquito Im from India and ive been using YouTube since 2008, I don't know a single person who got subscribed to t series automatically. Now, the burden of proof lies on the accuser.

@Kenneth Paquito 1) Some users from India already proved this to be false 2) India is fucking huge and T-Series is almost the Indian version of Vevo. Of course it's gonna grow fast.

Prooflet, please? You sound like you're really holding a gripe on something.

@technology productions 2022 yes it can, it demonstrably can.

@Bruh moment it's not a hoax a channel doesn't get that many subs in such a short time.


Cinanamontaostken is good example, ge was up there with the tops when video gaming was popular, but switched away from video games too late


TFW it’s 2 months later and he’s still on top


I completely forgot about this whole debacle lol


T-Series is probably sub botting though, tbh. They came out of nowhere, and they’re growing way larger than what they deserve.

t-series didn't come out of nowhere. you just never heard of them because the content is completely foreign

Teebles He is right, but he didn't have to word it like that. Mans needs to calm down.

<b>just posted a T-Series theory comment</b> The theory is that everyone who makes an account in India is automatically subbed to T-Series, just the messenger here

*just posted a T-Series theory comment* The theory is that everyone who makes an account in India is automatically subbed to T-Series, just the messenger here

Does no one realize the actual significance of music and movies in India?

They used to make CD mixtapes now they are communism

Yeah and there views on there video is low for 65 million subs

“Pewdiepie’s reign as the most  subscribed channel is coming to an en........FUCK!” Lol long live the king of 9 year olds.


All we can do is watch YouTube become TV. And cry. Because this isn’t a matter of nostalgia for the old YouTube. It’s a matter of having something that is genuine. YouTube is no longer genuine.

YouTube is the new television at this point.


Holy shit he's gained so many subs since this video


Did I see that right?
Dollar Shave Club wants to be associated with Emplemon?

Wow.


Someone finally mentioned relaxalax and Scott the woz! Those channels are so underrated!


Reason why annoying Vloggers are on the rise: Because monetization became more widespread, more "normies" became attracted to the platform. These "normies" picked vlogging, because it takes almost no talent, and you can pretty much make "content" if you have a lot of money and a high quality camera/drone.

@indigO x skY so does that make you a normie, too

Had the same idea that maybe this NPC thing is actually legit, because this "vlogger content" is so vapid and uninteresting. There is no soul or personality behind it.


Mr beast just saved pewdiepie today probably not for long


nice mario and luigi battle song. enjoyable to listen to while listening to this video. i love nintendo music.

yea we will move on, when a new and better video website comes into existance. Twitch might fill that role if they decide to actually do video stuff like youtube does and not just livestreams,and if not twitch, then something else will come, and we will all mostly move to that.

not gonna lie that advertisement you did yourself was funny.


now pewdiepie has regained the top spot

checkmate atheists.


"interact with them in real time*<br>You mean let anything you say get drowned out by 1000 other people at the same time lol

"interact with them in real time*
You mean let anything you say get drowned out by 1000 other people at the same time lol


Actually T - series was gaining subs while YouTube was down. So t - series will only be up as long as they can avoid being penalized for bot subbing.


How did you go from youtube poops to youtube news

also yeah T-series lost


This is so sad can we get <b>China to be the most popular youtuber</b>

This is so sad can we get *China to be the most popular youtuber*

this is so sad alexa abolish chinese communism

YouTube is bann there....its not a democracy like India...sad know


The thing is, T-Series is extremely suspicious of botting.


This is more than just youtube. The number 1 priority for every adult human in America right now is "Make money, fork said money over to large company."


Please, never show the downward spiral graphic again, it destroys the bit rate and kills everyone


The old days with big big YouTubers like Smosh, ryanhiga, and PewDiePie. Good days


YouTube belongs to corperations now, we need a new platform really badly at this point.

@JasperHD i know you're just playing but that's actually a pretty good idea. I don't think pornhub would mind either there's a bunch of meme videos and vaporwave shit on there.

Dailymotion supports monetization and if you want something almost as big as Youtube, you can look at Vimeo, but trust me the website is legit worse than Youtube.

Cybernik The Robot sorry for being vague. I meant currently viable alternatives with even borderline comparable audience sizes, monetization options etc. There are a few similar websites but they're a far cry from YT where it counts, i.e. number of users, and they aren't serious competitors (at least yet) unlike e.g. various car, clothing, electronics etc. brands that offer similar, competitive products and can realistically challenge one another for the position of the market leader.

I do hope e.g. Bitchute or some such will eventually replace YT as the de facto video hosting site like FB replaced MySpace way back when.

*Professor Omega *it's ''its'' on ''a run for it's money''

Head to Bitchute. It's growing and the creators are listening to the people making the platform bigger. If you can ignore the political side, this site can give youtube a run for it's money, like VidMe almost did.

No ships to stowaway on, the flagship we’re on just sinks all other ships. Without a ship that can withstand the SS. YT’s money and lawsuit bombardment, theres no hope.

+Mai Sentry I legit use that. Such an underrated site. What a shame it doesn't yet support proper HD.

Unfortunately YT has become a monopoly and will either destroy or merge any new upstart into itself as soon as it starts to gain traction. Same deal with Facebook and Twitter; they have  no competitors.

Yes, Vidme sounds like it would have been the perfect alternative. RIP.

There was Vidme but YT took that away from us.

I'm going to school for web development, I could make the new site myself. I could market it by drawing comparisons to the old YouTube, and contrasts with the new YouTube. I could encourage others to upload all their videos to both YT and the new site, but occasionally make vids exclusively for the new site. Maybe call for February to become "National Don't-Upload-To-YouTube month."

T- 800 oww ye and we tried that it failed  lock at nostalgia critic or what ever his name is

Zach Stone what we desperately need most is a programmer to create this new website, a wealthy or business savy dude who believes in the idea of creative freedom, a group or a single lawyer who will defend the whole thing from the inevitable lawsuits and attempts to shut down the website. These are by far the most important things we need to even begin this journey, the internet "moses" thing will occur naturally once these things are all in place.

Youtube or a channel would have to do something so dumb and so bad even the corporations who advertise would abounded but what could yourtube or a creator do so bad that it kills them

T- 800 that’s actually brilliant, I was thinking that as well, but the thing is we need to find people who are willing to do this and we don’t want a lot of people to find out about this haven we want to keep this from Normies

Snidbert we need an internet "moses" if you will, someone to lead us. Spmeone to tell the other youtubers to jump ship. Someone who can rally the people and leave this consumed platflom. But before we can do that we'll need a destination (this can be quite difficult since every "youtube-esque" platflom that appears is quickly limited and hindered by lawsuits and special interests ex. Bitchute) Once we have said platflom convincing the youtube masses will be easy. Creators will migrate slowly bringing portions of their audience with them, the communities would be smaller but the content will be uncensored and unhindered by pesky algorithms. At this point youtube will be seen for the corporate machine that it really is(basically how we view cable t.v. right now) By then people will use YouTube for different reasons, they'll use it to watch ellen, trevor kimmel, music videos or what's the difference between a $1 prostate exam or a $200 prostate exam. In other words, youtube will be for the normies and our new platform will be for people who want what youtube once was or something entirely new, something made by the people for the people.

@Snidbert they'll do it over time, we just need a flagship and the fleet will gather around us

But how will we get the entire community to jump ship?


3 months later and his channels still number 1, biglol.


There will never be another show like SponeBob SquarePants...
There will never be another YouTuber like PewDiePie...
There will never be another emperor like Lemon...


checking in Aug 2019...pewds is still no. 1 lol


I’m just waiting for your video on this years YouTube rewind.

He isn't making it, because this year's rewind is the #2 most disliked video of all time, so, he basically accomplished his mission.

Still, I would LOVE a 2018 reality check.


During the time when youtube T-series continued to gain subscribers... I'm calling it their using bots to gain subs.


When another YouTuber comes to your channel and get more likes then you


Miss old youtube tbh.<br>Ytp, lego tutorials, movie reviews, alan walkers animations, text document, 009 soundsystem, club penguin, fake tutorials of how to pirate games and stuff, unregistered hypercam, mlg memes, funny skits by smosh, ryan higa etc.

@DeathSkull I remember Smosh skits and ytp and MLG memes coming when Minecraft ruled YouTube, well when Minecraft came Club Penguin died and I remember Unregistered hypercam 2 being at the Minecraft area since a lot of Minecraft tutorials. And also remember the fake tutorials of how to get Minecraft for free?

3 months later and were still holding on.


I just wanted this and it gave me a good chuckle


What makes me kinda sad is that after Tseries surpasses Pewds there will never be an everyday-guy at the top EVER again..


i dont think anything changed when t-series got a hundred million subscribers, youtube is still shit, and i think even if pewdiepie got a hundred million subscribers, it would still be the same old youtube, shit and going downhill.<br>aka everyone got scared t-series was going to ruin youtube even though youtube was already down the shitter.

This is the beginning of a new era

The Vimeo migration era


Optimism injections
He's still the #1 youtuber, Indian Vevo doesn't count as a youtuber.

"Pander to 9year olds" is kinda what Pewds started with. I'm 80% sure Paul bros will grow up with their audience just as Pewds did. They're already pivoting that direction.

Stasys Čhepulis he is number one tho...t-series only has 66M subs and pewdiepie has 67M subs

1: this isn't some political debate, I wasn't using a "straw man" I was just telling you why I believed they were essentially a playlist. Jesus Christ stop being so defensive.

Also I never said a playlist was or wasn't specifically re uploaded content. I just said it was content created by different people put together in one list. Of course, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. but when it comes to channels like Youtube Music, it usually is.

2: Yeah I've heard that as well and maybe it's true, but a group of people claiming that doesn't mean it isn't happening to other people. but regardless if it is or not, it's obvious that the channel is being heavily pushed to them somehow. Most people who have subscribed are probably only subscribed due to it's mainstream reach and don't actually care about 90% of what they upload. The views reflects that.

3: here's the definition of "Youtuber" from google

a frequent user of the video-sharing website YouTube, especially someone who produces and appears in videos on the site.

Key words being "especially someone who produces AND appears in videos on the site" as opposed to "produces OR appears in videos on the site"

that's an important difference as it means a channel can't just produce content, or just appear in videos and be considered a youtuber. they have to play a major role in both processes. So nobody in a T-Series video is a youtuber, unless they have a separate channel or something

I never said I cared that much lol I'm just telling you why it's essentially just a glorified playlist.

So playlists have content from other peoples channels, or other peoples work. Content from other peoples channels == other peoples work being featured on that channel. T-Series essentially just uploads other peoples work aka, features other peoples work on their channel. Taken directly from the wiki page, it say's that "T-Series is a film production and record label company, that focuses primarily on music videos and movie trailers." That's it... That means people who want to make something go to them to get it produced. by doing that the company essentially owns the creators work, and therefore has the right to distribute it on something like their YouTube channel. This means that their youtube channel is just a collection of other peoples work. and what else is a collection of other peoples work? A playlist, I.e a glorified playlist...

Not to mention practically everyone in India seems to be auto subbed to the channel. and India has a huge population of people. so that kills it's legitimacy right there. This channel will pass Pewdiepie, and no one is going to care. it's just going to awkwardly sit at the top and become an internet meme. T-Series might be the most subscribed channel, but pewdiepie will still be the most subscribed Youtuber.

Isn't T-series also just a glorified playlist? It's just a bunch of mainstream crap that they jam into one youtube channel. that's essentially the same thing.

Elektr0 Gaming if it does, that mean he was never Number One Youtuber. It always was Sports and Music

What you mean "started with"? We are still the 9 year old army and are living strong.


I mean one thing hasn’t changed: Felix still has a legion of annoying kids militantly patrolling the internet for negative comments.


I love how people think discriminating Indian civilians will fix YouTube


"nobody is gonna stop them" me with 25 million accounts, "hold my beer"


At least he’s the biggest non company youtuber. Even before that YouTube itself was the top channel.


But then Mr. Beast saved PewDiePie in the final moments.

What's with the nazi salute at 15:19 ?
_I'll be sending one of those electronic mails to Vox about this_


To be completely honest PewDiePie is still the number one youtuber, he is the singular face of his channel and T Series is just a pop music artist compilation channel, it's like the dozens or artists on T Series would have to be seen as a single person to make that apples to apples comparison. T Series is a youtube channel, but is not run by a youtuber.


socialblade tweeted that T-Series has active subscriber count during the Youtube outage. how is that even possible???


This T-series situation is just sad, really.


Pewds is still the no.1 “youtuber” <br>just not no.1 YouTube channel

Pewds is still the no.1 “youtuber”
just not no.1 YouTube channel


It was all that WSJ article that did it. Everything from the increasingly corporate nature of Youtube, to the respect PewDiePie gets starts from that article. For me, I hated PewDiePie back in 2012-2013, I thought he was an obnoxious brat who ruined games with stupid jokes. I remember looking up Slender because I heard how scary it was, but I watched Felix's video, without knowing who he was at the time, and he just ruined the game. I also wanted to watch him play Bully, but his facecam blocked the game and he skipped a lot of it, so based on those experiences, I hated him. But then, after 2014, I just forgot about him (at least as much as you can with Youtube promoting him everywhere) and he faded. Then the article came out, I went back to his videos, and found out how much he had changed. I think why people like him is that he's a defiant voice against corporate censorship and pc bullshit, he's become too big for Youtube to remove his channel or even deperson him. Also, considering he's a millionaire, he probably makes most videos as sort of a hobby where he can be himself. Felix's story is pretty inspiring, not just for an average man becoming famous, but also how that same man was hated by the majority of Youtube at first, but eventually he became beloved among the creators. It really feels like Corpro-Tube is upon us and we're sort of stuck with it.

MrMike855 Assume an alternate reality where the legacy media and the feminists didn’t go after him - do you seriously think he would remain ahead of conglomerates like that Indian channel forever?

It’s not even that his channel isn’t growing anymore - it still is, other channels are just growing much faster now.

@Be N S O N The article contributed to Youtube trying to suppress his channel. Even if everyone other than the feminists were on his side, the legacy media wasn't, and the legacy media had the power to influence Youtube's advertisers. As a result, they began burying his channel, but since he was so massive, it wasn't very successful for a while. However, it appears that we're on the verge of Youtube getting its way, though Felix has held out as #1 for longer than EmperorLemon thought.

MrMike855 I think blaming the article for his decline is a little simplistic, especially when a good part of the YouTube community defended him for it. If that was the case, the decline would’ve been far more dramatic.

And yeah, the brofist army shit was pretty obnoxious back in the day, lol

LET'S TAKE T-SERIES AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE


One of the most impressive things about PewDiePie is that he hasn't let it get to his head much. He hasn't become a monster like many Vloggers or Popstars - he's still a somewhat amiable dude.


And we beat T-series dawggggg yeah haha I'm glad I'm watching this after so that I dont get sad lol


I love the new direction your channel is taking, the content has been so good lately


Wow, he is actually going to lose, well this is going to wrap up the man who changed YouTube forever and made countless people laugh though out the years, and who inspired million of kids to make gaming channel, sure that weren't that good but he inspired us he inspired us! How it a lifeless money making machine like t-series going to make a greater impact...


I wouldn't really count a channel like T series a youtuber so if T series gets bigger than pew die pie  I would still call pew die pie king


Can we get a different website please?  Twitch has taken the lets plays, can we get somewhere else for the ‘broadcast yourself’ content to live?  Or is the path YouTube has taken just inevitable for any similar site?


I'm back to watching PewDiePie and Jacksepticeye 2013 let's play because nothing interest me anymore on this platform. It's this or i go on Netflix


Second, yeet

Edit: I agree on this being a great milestone. YouTube has turned from a haven of creativity to a lifeless corporate husk.

A corporation that promotes other corporations that promotes other corporations. Nice.

It was inevitable, sadly, when google bought YouTube...

who needs creativity when you got dem cash ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Welcome to CorporateTube! Monetise yourself!


T-Series is a company and there are channels that long before T-Series were bigger so technically he still is the biggest Youtuber


Mr Beast saved him for a bit, we can only A to pray.

I find it hilarious how his video today is number 1 on trending. It’s almost as if YouTube has finally taken our side in DESTROYING THE T SERIES MENACE.


T Series gets 5k views/vid, but pewds gets millions. No end is here.


Remember when Pewdipie appeared on South Park? I wish I could forget


and then pewdiepie started a minecraft series and everyone loves him again


I don't think T Series really counts. Doesn't seem very original and feels more artificial.


I'm shocked that people haven't mass reported T series to the ground


Oh, did you hear T-Series was gaining subs even when YouTube broke down?

HMMMMMMMMM

Oh, did you hear T-Series was gaining subs even when YouTube broke down?

Emp can you make a quick video on your thoughts of how we tanked YouTube Rewind 2018? Thank you mah senpai. =3


Technically Pewdiepie isn’t number one. You have YouTube Music, YouTube Movies, etc.


10:24 did you just put a fucking site like topten and prove that he was the most hated youtuber? yeah no buddy.
10:37 "He was hated for many of the reasons the paul brothers are hated today" It's clear that you have no idea who Pewdiepie was if you just compared him to the paul brothers lmao. Yes he was pretty loud, sometimes even annoying and obnoxious but never did he ever resembled anything like the eye-cancer the paulbros or ricegum are. He was still a down to earth, genuine guy even back then. Those qualities are the reason people liked him and still do.


Pewdiepie is still the number one most subcribed content creator.


How is he getting social Blade stats from 2011-2014? I thought the earliest social Blade picked data up was 2015 :/

AlphaRW I discovered that last month. You’re right.


I got auto-subbed to T-series out of no where and I’ve never looked at there channel. 🤔 I think there’s some shit going down here


Emperorlemon is a synonym for downward spiral.


A sad moment in the history of a once great place.

What's even the point when YouTube is no longer about you as an individual?


Good thing DDX (a IIDX memetuber / SDVX YouTuber that is pretty good) exists
