The nearly unprecedented rise of YouTube star MrBeast has drawn speculation over when he will reach 100 million subscribers on his main channel. Only a handful of channels have surpassed the 100 million mark but MrBeast is soon to become one of them. With his videos increasing in popularity over time, here’s when MrBeast is expected to reach the YouTube milestone.
MrBeast’s main channel was relatively unknown, sitting at around 30,000 until a video of him counting to 100,000 went viral in 2017. Since then, he has grown in popularity by filming high production videos and focusing on shock factor. Some of his most viewed videos involved him spending 50 hours buried alive or surviving for 24 hours on a desert island. In November 2021 he even went as far as recreating the Netflix TV show Squid Game, which saw him gain millions of new followers in just a few days. These feats are even more impressive considering the fact that MrBeast runs five other channels alongside his main, including MrBeast Gaming and MrBeast Reacts, while also starting up his delivery-based fast-food chain MrBeast Burger.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
To predict when MrBeast will hit the 100 million subscriber count, the dates of his past achievements must be taken into account. After his first viral video in 2016, he continued to upload. By November 2017, he had reached his first million subscribers. Towards the end of 2018, he was seeing monthly views upwards of 100 million, and finally, on January 4th, 2021, he hit the 50 million mark. In November 2021, MrBeast’s recreation of Squid Game broke Netflix’s viewing records with 100 million views in four days, and his channel benefitted from over 9.2 million subscribers in a month. The growth of his channel has been rapid, and as of February 2022, he is gaining approximately 73,000 subscribers per day (via Social Blade). With this in mind, if his subscriber count continues to increase at this rate, he should reach 100 million subscribers around June 25th, 2022.
This estimation assumes the growth of his channel will remain consistent, but there is a chance he could beat that date if he produces another viral video, such as his Squid Game recreation. On Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive, MrBeast also outlined the strategies he is using to boost his growth. He stated that a large portion of the profit from each video is reinvested into future projects and explained to Vine-turned-YouTube star Logan Paul that he is committed to producing good quality uploads, scrapping previous videos if he didn’t believe they were up to scratch. Alongside this, he has started dubbing his most popular videos in different languages to reach a wider audience.
These factors combined will undoubtedly accelerate the growth of his channel. MrBeast’s achievements so far have been staggering considering the length of time he has been active on YouTube, and he is well on his way to being one of the most viewed channels on the platform. With all signs pointing to him reaching 100 million subscribers by late June, if not sooner, 2022 looks to be another very successful year for MrBeast. Either way, it will be a momentous occasion for YouTube when another of its creators reaches the highly coveted 100 million subscriber milestone.
