MrBeast vs T-Series was a subscriber war between MrBeast, an American YouTube creator, and T-Series, an Indian YouTube company who became the most subscribed channel after defeating PewDiePie in 2019, for the title of most-subscribed YouTube channel, as well as the longest channel to hold the most-subscribed YouTube channel title. MrBeast eventually surpassed T-Series on June 2, 2024. The war ended on December 9, 2024 after both of the channels made shorts subscribing to each other.

Backstory[edit]

Main article: PewDiePie vs T-Series

During 2019, PewDiePie had a subscriber war against T-Series, entitled PewDiePie vs T-Series, for the title of most-subscribed YouTube channel. MrBeast played a role in the war by being on the first creators to prominently support PewDiePie. He bought billboards and radio advertisements in North Carolina urging people to subscribe to PewDiePie's channel in his video I Bought Every Billboard In My City For This.[1] He also created a video of himself saying "PewDiePie" 100,000 times in a period of over 12 hours.[2] MrBeast and his friends attended Super Bowl LIII, wearing T-shirts reading "Sub 2 PewDiePie".[3][4] The group was prominently displayed in an ESPN tweet after Stephen Gostkowski had missed a field goal during the first quarter.[5]

Later on, many would describe MrBeast vs T-Series as an act to try and avenge and honor PewDiePie, after he lost his spot as the most-subscribed channel in April 2019.

Acknowledgements[edit]

On August 6, 2023, MrBeast would post a post on Twitter featuring a cropped screenshot of MDM's livestream with only him and T-Series, stating "I'm doing this for PewDiePie".[6][7] This is believed to be the first ever official acknowledgement from either side of the war.

On August 12, 2023, MrBeast would post a video on his channel titled $1 vs $250,000 Vacation!, featuring PewDiePie. At the end of the video, text showed on screen stating "Subscibe so we can pass T-Series" in all caps.[8]

On April 15, 2024, T-Series would post a video on their channel titled UNITE & CREATE HISTORY🇮🇳 | GULSHAN KUMAR'S VISION | SUBSCRIBE TO BE A PART OF T-SERIES FAMILY, telling their viewers to subscribe to their channel to "be a vital part of [their] musical family". Although not a direct acknowledgement of the battle, MrBeast was already closing in the gap at the time, which made people assume that this was an acknowledgement from T-Series. They would also post similar things on Twitter and Instagram. MrBeast recognized this, and replied to posts related to T-Series, including replying to their promotion tweet stating "Naw, subscribe to me instead", which would gain more likes than the original tweet.[9]

In September 2023, T-Series would hit 250 million subscribers. MrBeast would acknowledge this fact by replying to a tweet by SzaSzabi of the milestone, stating "That’s the last major milestone they’ll be the first to hit 🤪".[10]

A few days before the passing, MrBeast would make several posts on Twitter about the war, one of which stated that he "challenges the CEO of T-Series to a boxing match".[11]

Viewstats' #subcount channel[edit]

On January 27, 2024, Viewstats would add a #subcount channel to their Discord server, and the first update was posted the day after on January 28, 2024. The channel was made to post daily updates on MrBeast's exact subscriber count, with David Summerall being the person posting the daily updates.

Viewstats' MrBeast vs T-Series page[edit]

In May 2024, Viewstats would add a page to their website dedicated to the battle, with MrBeast's full live subscriber count, as well as T-Series' abbreviated subscriber count.[a] Soon after, they would add an estimated subscriber count, courtesy of Nia Stats.

The "Phone Boost"[edit]

On May 29, 2024, MrBeast would post a short on his channel titled Giving 1000 Phones Away. Just as the title states, he would be giving away 1,000 Samsung phones to anyone who subscribed to his channel. This short, along with advertisements for the short, gave him a large subscriber boost, which pushed him closer to passing T-Series.

Passing[edit]

On June 2, 2024, at exactly 12:04 AM UTC,[12] MrBeast would officially surpass T-Series as the most-subscribed YouTube channel.[13][14][15][16] This day would become MrBeast's best performing day, gaining 2,084,585 subscribers on that day.[17] A few weeks after, he became the first ever YouTube channel to hit 300 million subscribers.[18][19][20][21]

Meetup and official end[edit]

On December 10, 2024, MrBeast and T-Series' CEO Bhushan Kumar Dua met up and both uploaded shorts on their channels.[22][23][24][25] In the short, they both subscribed to each other's YouTube channel, officially putting the subscriber war to an end.[26][27][28][29]

Notes[edit]

  1. ↑ The reason why their subscriber count was abbreviated was due to the YouTube subscriber count abbreviations in 2019.
