How long it took the world’s biggest YouTubers to hit 10M subscribers:

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@felipeneto Congrats! You and Luccas are the only siblings on this list with separate channels. Incredible to see!

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

Who’s the biggest YouTuber your age?

The most-subscribed creators from 18 to 50:

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

If you were a YouTuber born in the year 1998 (MrBeast's age), sadly you will probably never be on this list lol

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@JERICHO What year did you hit 100K?

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

Fun facts about YouTube play buttons:

Before silver play buttons, 100K subscribers got you a $500 gift card and a camera case

The crystal in the red diamond award is made by Baccarat in France

Their maker, Society Awards, also makes trophies for the Golden Globes and Emmys

@REALConnorPugs That’s wild - and they’re only getting smaller too it seems like

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@xxmlgswaggerzxx Not a hot take at all, these were WAY cooler

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@ZGustaff This is so sick haha

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

My theory is that YouTube never expected anyone to pass 100M subscribers, so when MrBeast hit 200M, they just made him a custom award

Then they realized other creators were actually going to hit these milestones too and figured they should probably go back to a consistent design lol

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@shaycarl So bummed they discontinued those but makes sense since they were definitely so expensive to make. RIP

I made a personal website inspired by the YouTube homepage

[Benji Taylor @benjitaylor]

A personal website should feel like you’ve briefly left the rest of the internet

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@atozy Looks like you hit 1M around December 2019, which puts you at roughly 330 uploads

You’re also illustrating a point I’ve been curious about. If you asked YouTubers to guess how many videos it took them to hit 1M, I bet most would be way off lol

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

If you need a reminder that success takes time...

MrBeast posted 467 videos before reaching 1 million subscribers

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@st9rdoll Truly one of one with how passionate their audience is

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

For everyone asking how the @Sidemen did it in just 1 video…

All 7 members already had massive audiences on their own channels. When they launched the main Sidemen account in 2016, they each sent their fans over and hit 1M subscribers in just 3 days.

One of the greatest examples of audience building on YouTube.

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@Ace_plays7 Your first video getting 1M subs is truly legendary stuff

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@GoggsyNineNine Keep CTAs later, make your hook as simply engaging and inviting as it can possibly be

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@GoggsyNineNine Don't give up

Also - some advice - spend more time on your thumbnails and video intros overall and I think you'll grow a lot quicker

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@SNGflix Ronaldo is basically just not comparable to any of these people lol

[Zach Blank @zachblank]

@rohanrkumar 2020-21 was the golden age of being a content creator - the platforms were growing so quickly but they were also pretty under saturated with quality vids
