MrBeast finally beats T-Series to become the most subscribed YouTube channel and takes revenge for PewDiePie: Tech: Tech Times

American YouTuber MrBeast has achieved a monumental milestone by dethroning T-Series as the most subscribed channel on YouTube.

This feat was achieved after a long battle for the top spot, in which the T-Series channel retained the upper hand following the retirement of Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie.

MrBeast conquers the YouTube throne

Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, is officially the most subscribed channel on YouTube, overtaking longtime Bollywood music label T-Series.

T-Series held the top spot for several years after Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, gave up his long battle for supremacy. Now MrBeast has taken the crown.

Donaldson shared the milestone on Sunday on X, formerly Twitter, saying his channel had gained two million subscribers in one day, setting a new record. In his post, the YouTube star shared an image showing the latest subscriber count and said he had “avenged” PewDiePie.

According to The Verge, MrBeast now has 268 million subscribers. X owner Elon Musk congratulated MrBeast on his achievement, responding to the YouTuber's post with “Wow, congratulations!”

As a show of support for Kjellberg's efforts to remain the most subscribed YouTuber in 2019, Donaldson covered every billboard in his city with ads for PewDiePie. He even went to the Super Bowl with friends wearing T-shirts that spelled out “SUB 2 PEW DIE PIE.”

Now, the MrBeast channel has gained an impressive two million subscribers in just one day, which took T-Series a whole month to achieve. With such rapid growth, it is unlikely that T-Series will catch up anytime soon.

His philanthropic efforts are equally notable. He co-founded Team Seas, an ambitious initiative to remove millions of pounds of trash from the world's oceans. Through these diverse efforts, MrBeast continues to make a significant impact both online and offline.

Beyond his YouTube fame, Donaldson has expanded his entrepreneurial ventures into the food industry, founding MrBeast Burger, a fast-food chain modeled on a virtual kitchen, and Feastables, a line of snack foods.

When he opened his first store for his famous Beast Burger, within just 10 minutes of opening, over 10,000 people were lined up to buy burgers.

MrBeast shared a photo of the crowd on Twitter, commenting on the overwhelming turnout and saying that latecomers may have to wait until later or the next day.

His remarks were eye-catching in the crowded mall, where thousands were eager to try Beast Burger. According to Essentially Sports, Beast Burger started as a ghost kitchen concept that only fulfilled online orders.
