Why These Channels Stand Out
Subscriber numbers are important, but the bigger metric is the number of people always engaging with the account. This makes it much easier for creators and subscribers to come back for more new content good for both sides: money and merch included.
However, YouTube’s subscription wars, such as PewDiePie vs T-series, emphasized this metric as it is. But the subscription race that once shaped the platform’s dynamics is still just getting started, even years into the feud.
