Ahh, 2009. When Fred was the biggest UA-camr on the platform. Those were dark times
It's BeeRay It weirdly looked like a short amount of time on the video. Didn't feel like it though.
Steel Xcaliber 😂😂😂 Sure didn’t
He wasn't that bad at his first videos, but still dark times.
It's BeeRay don't u mean great
I'd rather has Jake Paul die than have Fred come back.
Until T-series attacked
Pew has 69 mil
they dont count
It's like an avatar intro lol.
until the fire nation attacked
xd
Smosh: OMG we have so many subscribers!
Pewdiepie: Hold my brofist
Until tseries hit
PewDiePie: OMFG we have so many subscribers
T Series: Hold my beer
Jeaah
PEWDIEPIE:ah relax! I’m still in the top
T series: hold my beer
Now PEWDIEPIE is dying
T-Series:hold my vodka
Its crazy to think that UA-camrs like Nigahiga and Shane Dawson are still relevant almost a entire decade after their creation.
Don't forget Smosh
LobsTheBaka41 they aren’t really relevant
Ikr and look compare the new vids to the old ones like how to be ninja or the green ball vid and they are trying to intend the same thing
Kian Thrane They kind of are though. They were one of the main focus with that company that owned Smosh shut down and stole everyone’s money.
@@backupschmliff1156 it was game theory that mainly brought mgns up
props to ryan higa for remaining one of the best over the years
Don't forget Smosh.
LightOfGrey Smosh went to shit back in 2012, tf u mean?
I love how he dropped off the page for a second but at the end he was fighting his way back up again. Atta boy.
I'd atribute this to his ability to change, but not too much. He didn't just to the same thing until his channel died nor did he try some radical left turn that didn't jive with the audience or betray the soul of his channel. He kept basically the same formula but got a great crew and skyrocketed his production quality. That's basically what all the old but still relevant tubers did.
Rat Face lol, no. It went to shit around 2015
I am impressed that Smosh managed to stay among the top 5 for as long as they did, holy shit.
Even more so with nigahiga....I never thought he was still in top 5 by end of 2015....
One thing Im kind of surprised of that for example didnt see iJustine at all there at any point.....I always thought she was more popular than she actually ever was :D
While PewDiePie dominates now, smosh has been there since the beginnings and is hanging on till this day.
They missed a few like Vanoss gaming
Ben Hayes he was there at the end
Ben Hayes it's there.
I remember when Fred was the first to break 1 million subscribers, now Pewdiepie has over 80 million and that's insane to me
@VirtualBoyX it's been so long but youtube used to have a DM system that was actually usuable. I remember often having conversations with people in them. That was something google got rid of
Tell that to your children
80 million... that is as much as the population of germany
@@donttellmyname316 We had all the Germans sub to Pewds so thats good...in one vid it was like 10k sub gap and a german youtuber came and helped
its even wierder to think that pewds can gain more subs in a month now than all of fred's sub count combined...
Fred hit 1 million subscribers, the first channel to hit, now he is stuck on 2 million for 12 years. Tragic.
4:06 It's a bird it's a plane No it's PewDiePie!
The sun is a deadly lazer
You cud make a religeon outta thi--

The title is "UA-cam Stars" not "Billion dollar companies who happen to have a youtube channel in the worlds most populated country"
T series sucks
its about youtuber stars not company :\
@@VxoPxo Yall know that Smosh is pretty much a company and has been one for a while
@@azuress1899 and they started as youtubers still. before it gets sold.
In all of them NIGAHIGA is GOLD till today!!!
True
tbh he was garbage since first day, just like fred
MaxRideWizardLord no

UA-cam:
2005-2007=
Funny webside to put home videos.
2007-2011=
One of the most popular Webside. New place where artists put there music videos.
2011-2013=
Birth of people who get payed by Youtubing.
2014-
Social media like Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat. Many
UA-camrs are as popular as other celebrities.
2018= When UA-cam became corporate and the creativity died
2022: worlds largest bill board riddled with ads and corporate sponsored attacks on small upcoming creators. A empty shadow of what it once was.
I love how all the names are steadily battling each other until pewds shows up out of nowhere and shoots straight up like a bullet
Big Smoke yeah
I think HolaSoyGerman will beat him in the next couple years
Tonitrui Leporidae M.D. actually holasoygerman quit his channel a year ago and now has a gaming channel
No chance lol
Jeremias Pagliari Who is that? I've never heard of him 🤔🤔
Quite sad for some of those UA-camrs
why?

We watched the same video :)
Smosh: finally I’m at the top again
*pewdiepie has entered the server*
BoilingHotCoffee PewDiePie has entered the chat
I started my first UA-cam account back in March of 2006 to watch Hannah Montana episodes after it premiered. The website was SO different pre-Google. There was barely anyone on here, the big channels were only a few hundred or thousand subscribers. The content was innocent and wasn't trying to be the most influential or well made. It felt like an actual meeting place for people instead of stardom for some.
This video is more than a year old and only now gets recognition. UA-cam's algorythm at its work ladies and gents!!
Nazgûl Right? 🤔😆
Brandon Lopez did you read their second comment???
Idk what you're talking about I saw it last year.
4:04 *pewdiepie has entered the lobby*
2018 - tseries joined the game
*_everyone else has left the game_*
I can’t lie this part was epic to watch, having nostalgia from the other UA-camrs then seeing the beginning of a legend
Rest is history
7:00 T-series has overthrown PewDiePie
I love this, thank you!
yall remember when there were only like 3 channels with over 10 million subs?
My teen years flashed in front of my eyes
MANA OMG RIGHT? I remember vanoss, Fred, annoying orange, and all those minecraft youtubers. Makes me sad to see time passing by like this
I usually don't do drugs, but I've been trippin' on nostalgia this whole video.
I nearly screamed when I saw lonelygirl and kevjumba. I can’t believe I almost forgot about them.
Same
My first 12 years of my life flashed before my eyes
It was a war to stay at the top.... But then that swedish dude came
Ear Fan yeah everything on UA-cam was fine..... until the Indians attacked.
@@momosbizzareadventure6242 deadass they growing like fucking crazy
Them Indians r coming
Tseries with 59mil subs now
SuperDerpu true ._.
smosh is the only channel that hasn’t been out of the frame the whole video.
Omg this brings back so many memories especially from the first 3 years.
Hehe, now it's all about Pewdiepie and T-Series
T series isn't a person, it's a company. Therefore not a UA-cam star.
@Snowice2008 Version Uno sry:)
Fuck Pewdiepie, Not one video is entertaining....okay, maybe the song about the pugs but thats about it. He is annoying
And in 2018 you see a channel teleport next to pewdiepie
Oh yeah!!
Smosh: Hi
Nigahiga:hi
Holasoygerman:HEY

@@dxov1597 I'm just saying, Before UA-camrs Played fortnite.
@@notgdel the dark times started before than, it allllll started with PUBG
Yep, before my side beaten Pewds!
Never realized how big Smosh was back in the day.
whatever opinion you have on pewdiepie, we have to thank that he's the biggest youtuber and not a vine star.
FriedApple yeah and honestly he is quite funny compared to many other famous youtubers
FriedApple your profile picture scares me, pls change
Imagine what happend to youtube if jakepaul and loganpaul were the most sub channel
God Pepe that would be “a hell on the Earth”
tbh I used to hate pewdiepie but now I do actually like him a lot.
Smosh was there the whole time. Legends.
Shadow 2 because they’re not smosh anymore.
Smosh just went out. The don’t exist anymore
smosh made youtube
And now they are at the end game
And also nigahiga my fav
This is literally SO GOOD.
Satisfying video lad
There was a time when youtube was a hobby not job
Those were the days. I missed when people cared more about 5 star ratings and really cared about their content whether they made money or not. Now its "please sponser me and join my patreon guys and donate and buy my merch so i can keep making videos!"
Yeah damn those people wanting something in return for providing free entertainment for you for years.
@@av64760 Exactly
Léo Mutombo lol
sad truth ;)
Should've called this video: "The rise of the PewDiePie"
JiMe Me Rise of the Trash
the2great2bob nice one bob
Meh, if he was trash, he wouldn't be where he is right now. Think about it Bob.
Are Stalin guided missiles,comrade.
JiMe Me HAHAHA gd one, the rise of the Swedish viking
I found UA-cam around mid to late 2009, I was bloody young back then. It's crazy to see how this site has grown and wish I had jumped on the idea of content creating earlier.
Thanks for keeping all the Vevos out of this...
Honestly back in 2008/2009 nigahiga was the only popular UA-camr putting out quality content so its good to see that he’s still doing well and never really fell off
He's not even in the top 10
Potato Nugget sad but true
jitlogs Jitlogs Maybe A decade.

If Anthony stayed in Smosh they'd have been at least 50M Subscribers. Tragic that he left and the entire channel collapsed quickly.
This isn’t true at all even when Anthony left they were already slowing on subs idk why people think Anthony carried Smosh they were already dying at that point
@@trainsgod1042 Oh well, you are mostly right. That good era of UA-cam had ended long ago, so Anthony staying wouldn't have really kept the ship afloat for much longer.
Btw sorry for replying almost a year later, kinda forgot I left this comment at one point
@@picoserg1363 it’s fine to be fair your comment was 2 years ago lmao
Any chance this will be updated? Either way this was very cool to see, thank you.
*PLEASE MAKE AN UPDATED ONE IN THE BEGINNING OF 2019*
The thing is...nothing much would change. T-Series isn't a UA-cam Star, so Pewds would still be at the top.
@@elkani7973 but the other ones would change at least. i mean after pewdiepie hit the top its not like anyone was looking at him anyway, they were looking at the ones below
@@elkani7973 Collegehomour and Machinima were featured and they also aren't UA-cam Stars, so it's safe to say that T-Series would be in it.
@@leg4317 Going by that logic then, Where are the Vevo channels?
@@elkani7973 I'm not sure about this, but what if they weren't at the top?
SMOSH longevity deserves respect
and nigahiga, new content every time, they are the pillars of youtube star, pewdiepie has almost been the same all the time, now with some pewnews
What about nigahiga who has maintained more integrity than smosh and has surpassed them more times for most viewed and has still to this day out on good material compared to new smoshs material
Jan Tran No way, pewdiepie has constantly been changing too. Pioneered commentaries on playthroughs specifically horror games, then all games, sketches, funny videos (YLYL), satire, some vlogging, then just a random mix, meme reviews, more random mixes of book/movie/product reviews.
I mean there is a reason why his channel growth didnt stop at the gamers.
Longevity lol they're not even together anymore
Agreed!
Thanks for reminding me that for a while, the second most subbed channel was a chilean channel, this is so epic. *happy chilean noises*
I freaking love this video, it would be awesome if we say something like the largest empires by land mass or largest cities by population and so on
*"A Pewdiepie appears"*
*"Pewdiepie uses stairway to heaven"*
*"all you see is the clouds"*

LOL OS FRICKIN EPIC
When you see PewDiePie's channel start to rise
*cue Ride Of The Valkyries*
Yeah, breaks your heart, doesn't it? Such a low-life loser getting so much attention.
fucking weeb
Chandler Smith Fuck you dipshit.
ERIKA
Really cool to watch. Had no idea nigahiga was up there so early and pewdiepie came in super late.
What an interesting video. I hope to make it someday too.
Props to Smosh for lasting so long at the top.
Now they are just a company. Anthony is not there. I think Nigahiga is the best OG youtuber. Content is still good and is not a sellout
Ricky Vij what does og mean?
Tuoli TheGamer "Original"
pewds can literally fart on camera and gain 1 mill subs.. if that aint talent, i duno what is.
Master Penquin WELL SAID
When PewDiePie showed up we all knew it was all over
deouy19 He ruined youtube
Steven Henderson how exactly?
Johnny Muy Because he is overrated and not funny
Come on then you do better. I'd like to see your videos, I got am idea got build a star wars Lego set. 10 year olds😂
Kuba Bohosiewicz See now you are funny my friend, while pew isn't
The times when individual youtubers were the most subscribed.
In the future, big corporations will take over unfortunately.
This needs a part 2
I remember 2009 when smosh Fred and nigahiga were competing for most subs and everyone in my elementary school would argue 24/7 about who was the best
lol same, i was a smosh fanboy back in the day
displeased Yoshi Yeah was constant flame wars between the Fred fangirls, the immature/inappropriate kids and the nerdy Asians. I loved all 3
Hamidreza Hamzeie Back then everyone played by the rules and there was none of this botting subscribers bs
I mean judging by overall content and with the benefit of mature hindsight, I think almost everyone would agree with nigahiga.
2009-2015: When UA-cam videos could have as much swearing as the content creaters wished and everything was alive and thriving. Now we've all turned soft and videos get demonitized if any curse words are said.
The amount of nostalgia that this video brings is almost too much to bear.
Justin Y. I saw you million times wtf?
Hello again.
who the fuck are you?? Stop rigging the like system
It must be a bot or something. Either that or this guy has no life
All those years of you commenting JoJo jokes on every video that ever existed
Ah the nostalgia
Start of 2007 is when Smosh stopped messing around with theme songs and started making original funny ideas.
2007:
Smosh vs lonely girl 15
2011:
Raywillianjohnson vs Nigahiga
2017:
Pewdiepie vs T series
2023:
Cocomelon vs T series
Smosh: Were finally on top again, nothing can stop us now!
*Pewdiepie appears*
Smosh: Oh shit
So basically;
Felix started then stayed at the top
guccigangtan wrong he was around 1k region for ages then he started horror games and shot up like crazy, the true rise started 2012.
Bruh I remember watching him when I was a kid when he was still playing happy wheels, the grudge and amnesia. Those were the good ol days
Uh no... he started in 2012? He’s 6 years late but okay dude think what you want
RETEKHARCOS oh okay
iGrind he had another channel named pewdie
"I see this glass half empty even when it is full"
Tis but a simple taste of why Ryan Higa *should* be the most subscribed to person ever to walk the earth and yet he is not!
Can we just appreciate the youtubers that are still revenant today that have been doing this since forever💖
Nigahiga just proves that his effort, sincerity, ethics, and creativity are the cause of the longevity of his channel. Quality >quantity
Monika Vania you say quality over quantity but pewds has 61 going on 62 million and currently uploads daily.
Kameron Jones i was talking about nigahiga tho..
Monika Vania I know I was talking about the quality over quantity bit.
Kameron Jones yea.. most youtubers now focus on uploading daily. But nigahiga proves that he can still strive by focusing on the content he uploads, which is why in his case it is quality over quantity.
Monika Vania yeah but the proof is daily is better just look at the top UA-camr
4:03
Smosh: Why did we just reset?
Nigahiga: I don't-
*_PEWDIEPIE HAS ENTERED THE GAME_*
And MY favourite reply to my comment
And it was him on the ScoreBoard.

I never realized that smosh has literally been at the top for the entirety of UA-cam. It’s actually really
Impressive. Props to nigahiga also for still being so popular. This is one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen on UA-cam in a very long time.
Smosh and Ryan are pretty much the only two with the largest overall following for the longest amount of time.
lampini Tbh nigahiga should be on top for the amount of work and creativity he puts into his videos.Its insane!
It was strange that KSI wasn't on that list, he should've been at the bottom at some point but i dont think i saw him. with a list like this i'd imagine some do get missed
ye S he was never a top ten most subbed channel
Gotta hand it to Smosh, they adopted to the times fairly well. Nigahiga too.
Sxephil:ima be 5th to hit 1m

i am still here since 2007..and trust me there are many fall and rise of youtubers..
P/s : It sucks we cannot reply to video by uploading our own video anymore..that was such an awesome feature to help small youtubers tho
Great stats
It's so weird seeing who was at the top of the platform when I started UA-cam way back in 2010 and how much everything has changed. It must be crazy to be at the top of the game and then just reduced to history..
Everyone will be forgoten eventually. And the ones that are remembered for the longest time are the cruel dictators.
Sooner or later people will forget about pewdiepie and T-Series
at least they're part a of history.
it's interested how the money flow kinda disappears over time, I've been watching UA-cam since 2007 and I feel like i've grown up with these UA-camrs in a way
It's kinda sad to see how it was originally just a bunch of ordinary people with cameras... and the after around three years is became unbearably commercialized and full of actors.
Props to Smosh for being a relevant channel since the beginning
HxC Underground They're only relevant because they suck now, at least Nigahiga is still funny
Smosh turned into shit. The only person that remained the same is nigahiga.
HxC Underground Props ended when things went stale and they didn't move forward, instead moved back and Anthony leaving.. rip
I still think smosh is funny

The amount of times Smosh has risen to number 1 is honestly quite impressive
When I was born, Fred was the most subscribed channel.
And the first channel to hit 1,000,000.
Everyone here’s talking about pewds and T-series but I’m here amazed by how smosh has been grinding since the very start of UA-cam and they’re still doing a good job staying relevant
They day anthony i left i unsubscribed
Who is Smosh?
yeah but it seems that he doesnt care about the subs he has
I stopped following Smosh when they completely changed the channel.
Yeah they became absolute sell-outs
Gotta give it to nigahiga. Dudes been going at it since nearly the start and is still constantly around the top 10 most subscribed channels.
Don't know how though. I've never heard of it but he seems cancerous. The only people autistic enough to enjoy that kind of content are children.
Love his videos. He does what he wants. And he puts a shitton of effort into his vids too. He is the definition of loving your job because of doing the things that you want
Edward He's aged way better than smosh or any of those other old channels. He still makes videos that are pretty funny and original.
Edward Go check out his videos. Saying "he seems cancerous" and "only autistic children would watch him" is saying that comedy is cancerous and only autistic children like comedy. Give him a chance before judging him.
he is not among the 10 most subbed channels thought
CONGRATULATIONS!
*_Did anyone notice that smosh never leaves the ranking?_*
