YouTube creator PewDiePie no longer among YouTube's top 10 most-subscribed channels after 12 years; check who replaced him
Felix Kjellberg, popularly known as PewDiePie , has officially fallen out of YouTube's top 10 most-subscribed channels ; a major moment for a creator who once reigned supreme. This shift reflects more than just subscriber numbers; it highlights YouTube's evolving algorithm, the rise of Shorts-based creators like kimpro828 , and PewDiePie's own transition toward a quieter, family-focused life in Japan. Once the face of independent content creation, he now uploads occasionally for fun, no longer driven by metrics. Though no longer at the top, his legacy as a pioneer of online content and YouTube culture remains unmatched and deeply influential. PewDiePie drops out of YouTube's top 10 channels after leading generation of creators PewDiePie started his YouTube career in 2010 with simple gaming Let's Plays. His unpolished humour, passionate personality, and genuine interaction allowed him to cut through the initial noise on YouTube. In 2013, he was the most-subscribed YouTuber . Between 2014 and 2017, he was also the most-watched YouTuber globally , as reported. But PewDiePie was more than just another gamer; instead, he became a figure of independent creator culture, meme culture, and a community-driven paradigm that valued personality above polish. His style changed from horror gaming to vlogs, comedy sketches, meme reviews, and music, and he became one of the most diverse creators on the platform. Time magazine acknowledged his cultural influence in 2016 by including him on their list of the 100 most influential people in the world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Soluções confiáveis para centros de dados IA Siemens Energy Saiba Mais Undo South Korean shorts creator surpasses PewDiePie in subscriber rankings South Korean Shorts creator kimpro828 has finally surpassed PewDiePie after 12 years of leading the top positions on YouTube, as revealed in a report by Dexerto . Kimpro828's short-form, viral content tailored for YouTube Shorts has seen his channel gain immense subscriber bases, helping him surpass PewDiePie to take the #10 positions . This progression emphasizes a significant change in YouTube's algorithmic priority. Whereas PewDiePie previously dominated with long-form, personality-focused uploads, his exclusion from the Shorts platform has emerged as a turning point in his fall in rankings. He has never made a single YouTube Short, while others such as kimpro828 have used the format's blowout reach to drive their growth. PewDiePie steps back from the creator race to focus on family and fulfillment In the creator economy today, success is increasingly tied to high-throughput, crew-operated channels optimized for YouTube's algorithmic tastes. Channels such as MrBeast, T-Series, and Cocomelon now dominate the uppermost charts by creating optimized, scalable content for worldwide audiences. Conversely, PewDiePie opted to take a more intimate route, retreating from the competitive pace. He started posting less regularly, prioritizing quality, enjoyment, and relationship building with his core group of followers. "I just wanna do YouTube the way I did it when I started, which is for fun," he explained to his viewers. PewDiePie's drop in rankings is no mystery; he has been semi-retired since 2022, following his relocation to Japan with his wife, Marzia Kjellberg (formerly Marzia Bisognin). The couple, who met online in 2011 and got married in 2019 at London's Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, have embraced a quieter lifestyle. They had their first child, a son, Björn, in 2023. Posting the happy news on Instagram, Marzia captioned, "11/07/2023 Welcome to the family, little Bjorn." The duo now concentrates on home life, household renovations, and the occasional update for fans. With fatherhood and a quiet home life on their minds, PewDiePie has clearly opted out of the daily uploads, giving personal contentment more priority over being a dominant force on the platform. How PewDiePie's T-Series showdown became a symbol of creator independence Numerous fans nostalgically recall PewDiePie's legendary subscriber war against T-Series in 2019 a campaign that became a cultural phenomenon for YouTube itself. The "Subscribe to PewDiePie" movement was a meme bigger than itself; it symbolized creator-driven authenticity against corporate content. Even though he ultimately lost the competition, the face-off managed to rally the online world around the principles PewDiePie stood for: independence, humor, and communion. Now, MrBeast has taken the crown that PewDiePie once held. With more than 408 million subscribers, MrBeast is leading the platform by a wide margin leaving even T-Series far behind with more than 100 million subscribers. Although PewDiePie is no longer part of YouTube's top 10, he perhaps does not need to be any longer. His legacy as the pioneer of digital content is untouchable. He created a template for future creators, made a career on YouTube possible, and demonstrated to the world how one human could wield global power without a brand name behind them.
