PewDiePie is no longer the number one content creator on YouTube.
The Swedish influencer, who had been squatting in first place since 2013, lost a rank to MrBeast;
according to the latest score from Dexerto.
The specialized site published a video on Monday showing the moment when the counter of MrBeast panics to exceed the number of subscribers of PewDiePie.
That day, the American content creator exceeded 111,851,893 subscribers on his main channel.
He is ahead of his Swedish counterpart, who made a name for himself by filming his video game games, by several thousand fans.
The next day, on Twitter, YouTube congratulated whoever brings in the most subscribers to the video platform with a simple "congrats@MrBeast".
111,111,111 subscribers on November 11
MrBeast had fun with the alignment of the numbers.
“What are the odds that I randomly open YouTube to 111,111,111 subscribers at exactly 11:11 p.m. on November 11?
“wrote the American on Twitter.
A little later, he indicated that he had bought 1,111 lottery tickets, imagining that he was going to win.
