PewDiePie Will Not Be YouTube's Biggest Channel As Of This Week
Even Pew himself has joked in the past on his channel that his "King" status is in danger with the Bollywood channel T-Series having just surpassed 67 million subscribers, with Kjellberg's current number at 67,245,527 followers.
In a video posted this week, the YouTube star mentioned, "I don't really care about T-Series, I genuinely don't, but I think if YouTube does shift in a way where it does feel more corporate, then something else will take its place. People enjoy this connection so much, I think something else will show up if it becomes more corporate."
In the same video he talks about how "indie" channels seem to be swallowed up fairly quickly, though as of right now it's simply a wait and see sort of game.
What many might not know is that this powerhouse of a channel isn't anything new. T-Series technically launched quite awhile ago in the 1980s, it wasn't until later that it boomed into one of the biggest Bollywood names in the world.
As we mentioned in our previous coverage, "A big reason behind this growth is the location. Thanks to our friends over at Polygon, the breakdown is simple: India is home to 1.3 billion people versus North America's 580 million. That, and Bollywood doesn't exactly have a corner in the YouTube scene quite yet which basically paves the way for T-Series to conquer and destroy."
But don't let the location advantage fool you, this channel has earned it. They have not only quantity, but quality as well on their channel. For an even more in-depth analysis of Bollywood's YouTube take over, check out the statistics fully laid out right here. Polygon has it incredibly laid out up until PewDiePie's response to the rapid growth. It's a fascinating read, especially when looking at how much YouTube culture has changed in its evolutionary growth through the years.

That's insane how this channel grew so much in so little time, but since it's been around since the 80s and the population of india this makes sense, it's probably an easy platform for them to use to get there content out so I can't even be mad. Just crazy how I never heard of them until well now.

Pretty sure depending on region in the world ie near/in India it subs automatically when making an account. So it isn't real in my eyes
