Draft:The YouTuber Rebellion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The YouTuber Rebellion (August 29, 2018 - June 1, 2024) was a social movement created by the internet to put YouTubers back as the most subscribed to channels rather then companies.

This started on August 29th in 2018 when a company was close to surpassing an individual ran YouTube channel for the first time since the websites creation. YouTuber PewDiePie was the most subscribed to channel before the company channel T-Series almost surpassed him.

The PewDiePie vs T-Series subscriber war was long and vicious, but T-Series eventually passed PewDiePie in subscribers, forcing PewDiePie to self declare defeat in a song titled "Congratulations"[1]

During this war, smaller YouTuber "MrBeast" gave support for PewDiePie using his mass amount of wealth organizing social attacks against T-Series, but also had to accept defeat by seen notably clapping in support for T-Series at the end of PewDiePie`s song.

Years after, MrBeast captivated the platform by spreading positivity and soon surpassed PewDiePie and began to have a higher subscriber rate then T-Series. On June 1st, 2024 MrBeast "avenged PewDiePie" by surpassing T-Series becoming the most subscribed YouTube channel in the world.[2]

This was a monumental moment in YouTube and internet history, as the war has finally ended. After years of thinking that the war was lost, the community worked together to replace a corporate YouTube channel with alleged illegal activity [3] with a channel owned by a philanthropist who spends his time in giving money to those in need.

The war has concluded.
