Draft:MrBeast vs. T-Series

MrBeast vs. T-Series is an ongoing online rivalry between the two largest channels on YouTube. T-Series, an Indian Bollywood YouTube channel with 263 million subscribers, has remained the most subscribed to YouTube channel since dethroning PewDiePie on 14 April 2019, after a lengthy competition between the two. MrBeast, a YouTube channel owned and ran by Jimmy Donaldson, an American from North Carolina, has been growing several times faster than T-Series for over a year, and has recently challenged T-Series for their top spot, with 252 million subscribers, a difference of rougly 11 million subscribers, which is rapidly shrinking.

MrBeast has publicly declared a rivalry with T-Series. MrBeast published a tweet with a screenshot of the shrinking difference in subscribers between the two, saying “this is for PewDiePie.” MrBeast has been an outspoken critic of T-Series ever since he became the main sponsor of PewDiePie during his own race against T-Series in 2019.

T-Series indirectly declared a rivalry with MrBeast in a video published on 15 April 2024, asking users to subscribe to the channel.

MrBeast is projected to pass T-Series in June 2024, but could pass as early as May or as late as September depending on his fluctuating rate of growth. Currently, PewDiePie still holds the world record for the longest time spent as the most subscribed to YouTube channel, but T-Series will claim this record on 16 July if MrBeast does not surpass them by then.
