YouTube is one of the biggest phenomena on the internet. The video-sharing platform owned by Google is the second most visited website in the world, with roughly 30 billion visitors every month. Since its inception back in 2005, YouTube has also become much more than just a website where people can watch and upload funny cat movies (although that is still very much possible and popular). An entire industry has developed around YouTube. Many YouTubers aren’t uploading videos as a hobby anymore, but make the video making their full-time occupation, earning a very good living with it.
From funny or cute videos, prank videos, educational videos, music videos, political videos, all the way to make-up tutorials, there are barely any niches/genres for which you won’t find video content on YouTube. It is, therefore, no surprise that many media experts expect YouTube (and other online video-sharing websites) to eventually completely replace traditional media in the not-so-distant future.
The following ranking shows you the current Top 10 of the biggest individual YouTubers by the number of subscribers. Keep in mind that only individuals are listed here, no companies or organizations. Two niches, in particular, are dominating YouTube right now…
Note: The following ranking lists the 10 biggest YouTubers. Only individual YouTubers are eligible for the ranking. Brand channels, as well as group channels, are hence excluded from the ranking.
