This video is an absolute masterpiece, couldn’t imagine how long it took to put together all of the data and information from certain websites. I am currently working on a Top 20 Most Followed Twitch Channels, and I started it a year ago, so I can understand the amount of work that went into this project. This deserves millions of views!

[@qKitti]

60fps, extremely high quality, well timed music, daily data. My man, congratulations, you've made the best bar chart race I've ever seen. I can't imagine how long this must've took to make..

This is truly the best Bar graph video ive ever seen, great job David.

[@darkalligraph]

This really is the most accurate thing I have seen. Of course, 3 months ago, so a bit outdated, but I just have to appreciate how complete this video is. One of the best visualisations I have ever seen.

This man right here is too underrated. 1k subscribers? He deserves at least 50k.

Well now its close to 10k views

This is the best video i have seen in this topic.

[@heemanmcspeed]

now this is the good shit. I’m surprised you managed to get all top 20 channels back earlier than 2010

[@js89u]

LOL this guy probably used every bit of data there is from way back machine. That takes TONS of work very impressive.

[@SeniEditz]

Great and also thx for not having vevo and regular channels like Justin Bieber and Justin Bieber vevo

[@s30l2l2]

i hope you make an updated 2022 one

[@bennyboy5949]

Wow, this was really interesting to watch, it's kinda sad though, I remember when I was a kid I was subscribed to all the top youtubers and watched every single video. Now I don't even recognize half the channels on this list. KZbin as a whole used to feel like a community, but now it's just way too big for that to work. I guess it's inevitable that as youtube became international, non-english channels would become popular too, that's perfectly fine. But it sucks that there are so many faceless corporations and content farms rising to the top over actual creators. I wonder if things will get better or worse in the future.

[@Apersonfarfaraway]

Being faceless is fine but since it’s a company and not a creator’s voice it just feels different

[@CTGReviews]

@@Apersonfarfaraway Yep, and those corporations are who KZbin is appealing to.

[@CTGReviews]

The only channels I recognize from watching their videos are PewDiePie, 5-Minute Crafts for some ironic watching, MrBeast, and Dude Perfect. I recognize Justin Bieber and Marshmello, but not because of the KZbin channel, and all the other channels I only know from videos talking about them and bar chart videos.

[@Pigzillarealstuff]

Damn nice bro

[@CTGReviews]

I love how the music goes intense once T-series comes in, like every channel is giving up their spots except for PewDiePie.

[@mman.235]

Taylor Swift tried

[@indiafirst3676]

T-Series defeated Pewdiepie

[@CTGReviews]

@@indiafirst3676 I’m not saying he didn’t, just that he was at the top and got into a battle even though he eventually got defeated.

[@henrikuusela4590]

How did I not find this video before? :( This video is all 100% correct, all the others have at least one small bug and many more. Make a new video with youtube included and now that cocomelon has passed the pewdiepie.

[@coocoostryker]

there is a minor mistake on 4:09 with the Fastest Growing Channels of February 2013, Taylor Swift is below One Direction even though she gained 951K, and One Direction 930K, same with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj in August 2014 5:04, PewDiePie gaining 633k in June 2015 despite it being 663k 5:34, ERB gaining 218.42k on January 2012 despite it happening in February 3:29

mystoandpizzi as #1? They must be proud that they were in the same spot as T-Series.

[@randomthrowawayaccount...1009]

they most likely cheated based on how fast they achieved it

[@SuperWindows78]

@@randomthrowawayaccount...1009what about geriatric1927? He reached it even faster and gained 3x as much

[@CoolBrosTube]

it is unclear whether or not mystoandpizzi ever got the #1 spot. because data was very small back in the early years of the existence of youtube, it is unclear as of now.

[@TRAINAlytics]

What's your evidence for mystoandpizzi taking #1 in July 2006?

[@SuperWindows78]

It’s an estimate, and they sure would’ve, even if for just a few days.

[@CoolBrosTube]

In July 10, 2006, davidjl said that in the graph, mystoandpizzi took the #1 place for one day. However, the estimate either might be not true or unknown. In July 10, 2006, there were no archives of KZbin that day, so the evidence is still unknown.

TOP 20 Most Subscribed KZbin Channels (2006-2021) Screenshot as of 2021 Jun 17: files.catbox.moe/0emfj8.png Notes: - Social Blade began tracking daily channel data from July 21, 2010, so you can expect near perfect accuracy from that date. - It is not confirmed whether mystoandpizzi took the top spot. However, according to simulated scenarios based on the existing data-points it is more likely that they did. It should be added that their growth in 2006 is rather suspicious, but we'll probably never know for sure. - Topic channels have been artificially boosted by KZbin for large portions of their history, so they are not included. This includes the official KZbin channel. - Starting from January 2018, musicians' VEVO and personal channels were merged.
