Pewdiepie literally recovered from T-series 2 times, that's how much his fans were trying to make him the most subscribed.

That jump Youtube Channel did in 2013 it's because Youtube was censored is many countries before

Ur literally telling me Fred was the first person to one mil

[FreakPayEnjoyer]

Looking back, fred was really dark, his mom was an alcoholic, he was constantly bullied, and he stalks his crush.

It's kinda sad to see the old YouTube stars die out and become forgotten

[adityaswamy]

The real reason of the epic war of tseries vs pewds

Why is no one talking about Niga Higa? Man, Ryan Higa was huge back then

Nigahiga was the reason i started watching YouTube so much.

[CityWhisperer]

The pensioner that died really made me sad. Rest in Peace, you are now part of YouTube's history.

[yaboiiak]

[wardishfr]

July 2006 is when the grandfather of YouTube was brought into 1st place.
Even passed 7 years after his death, he still remains grandfather of YouTube.

[DuskayX]
