MrBeast may become world's first content creator with '10-digit' subscribers in 5 years: Report
GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA: James Stephen 'Jimmy' Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, is speculated to become the world's first creator with two billion subscribers, despite not yet unseating T-Series as the most subscribed YouTube channel.
Social media analytics for MrBeast have significantly increased, and the creator has broken records for the fastest non-music video views and reached 200 million views.
Social Blade's prediction about MrBeast
Social Blade, a website that tracks user statistics for various platforms and provides global analytics for content creators, live streamers, and brands, claimed that in less than five years, MrBeast's YouTube channel would amass two billion subscribers.
According to the estimates, MrBeast will cross the first "ten-digit" milestone in October 2026—just two years and a few months from now.
It seems that the 1 billion step would only be the start, as the creator is predicted to accomplish the impossible in about 2.5 more years.
In December 2028, MrBeast will celebrate breaking the 2 billion record, if the predictions are to be believed. The community had many thought-provoking conversations in response to the report.
There are some reasonable reasons that lend some credence to the 2 billion subscriber theory, even though the claim currently seems improbable.
What does MrBeast need to do to surpass T-Series?
Social Blade's claims of MrBeast's dominance in entertainment content are seen as evidence of his impending domination, with fans questioning if this will continue until 2028 and if he can maintain consistency.
As of now, MrBeast boasts of 216 million subscribers, nearly 9 million of whom have signed up in the last 30 days. The 2 billion mark appears very likely if the statistics stay this way, Essentiallysports reported.
There are currently 2.7 billion accounts on the platform, so that number is another important consideration. The number of accounts that sign up over time will also have an impact on the estimates.
For example, in 2019, a report predicted that by 2024, PewDiePie would have 725 million subscribers. Well, the situation has changed. Therefore, MrBeast's chances of reaching 2 billion subscribers by 2028 will be possible only if he uploads content consistently and on time.
