Who is post 10 on YouTube?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a long-time gaming content creator myself, I set out to solve the question "who is post 10 on YouTube?". But after diving deep into YouTube‘s labyrinth of videos, creators and inscrutable algorithms, I realized there is no clear answer. YouTube does not rank channels or videos based on "post numbers".

However, that mystery reveals so much about the ephemeral, sometimes incomprehensible nature of the platform. Virality has no formula. So instead of chasing phantoms, let me provide expert analysis on YouTube‘s top talent and inner workings that drive discoveries.

YouTube‘s Algorithm: The Master of Virality

YouTube leverages complex, opaque algorithms to surface videos and channels on its platform. Recommendation engines analyze dozens of signals – watch time, clicks, searches, content – to showcase the most "relevant" videos to each viewer. This system is designed to maximize overall engagement.

So videos go viral not based on post number, but by resonating in that moment with YouTube‘s algorithms and audience. Lightning in a bottle. Unpredictable, but that mystery fuels creativity.

As a gaming creator myself, we have to trust that authenticity and quality will be rewarded over clicks. That‘s why I respect YouTubers like MrBeast who focus on big ideas over quirks of an algorithm.

Ranking Top YouTube Creators

While YouTube doesn‘t ordinal videos in feeds, we can still highlight standout creators by subscribers, views and more. Let‘s analyze top personalities shaping gaming culture:

1. PewDiePie – 110M Subscribers

Love or hate PewDiePie, Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg‘s impact on gaming and YouTube is undeniable. I still remember his early Amnesia playthroughs – raw, unfiltered reactions that felt so genuine.

Key Stats:

  • 110M subscribers, #2 overall on YouTube
  • 28 billion lifetime views
  • Videos average 3-5M views

Say what you will about some controversies, PewDiePie‘s consistency over 10+ years is incredible. And while his influence has waned lately, respect for kicking the door open for gaming personalities.

2. MrBeast – 105M Subscribers

If PewDiePie built gaming YouTube, MrBeast and his cohort represent its future. Less gaming, more spectacular stunts and giveaways funded by merchandise empires. Say what you will about clickbait thumbnails, but Jimmy Donaldson understands virality.

Key Stats:

  • 105M subscribers, #3 overall on YouTube
  • 18 billion lifetime views
  • Videos average 15-30M views

MrBeast‘s trajectories has been fun to watch. Sure, the early viral gambits felt gimmicky. But now at the head of a content empire, I admire his work ethic and creativity around gaming-inspired videos. We need more of that boundary-pushing ethos.

3. Kids Diana Show – 75M Subscribers

While often controversial, kids content represents YouTube‘s most viewed and fastest growing category. Diana‘s playful videos feature harmless nursery rhymes, costumes and skits perfect for her core toddler audience.

Key Stats:

  • 75M subscribers, #8 overall on YouTube
  • 48 billion lifetime views
  • Videos average 10-30M views

As a gaming creator without kids myself, I often don‘t understand videos like this. Low production values, negligible costs. But hey – I can‘t argue with billions of views! Diana taps into kid psyches better than any corporate studio. There‘s an authenticity that is clearly resonating.

4. Like Nastya – 71M Subscribers

Like Nastya is emblematic of today‘s kidfluencer explosion – children stars turning play into global YouTube empires. While controversial, her harmless songs and skits entertain millions of young fans.

Key Stats:

  • 71M subscribers, #10 overall on YouTube
  • 25 billion lifetime views
  • Videos average 15-30M views

I‘ll be honest – kids content isn‘t really my domain. But the view counts speak for themselves. And who doesn‘t occasionally watch in curiosity and nostalgia? Sure, viral hits have an element of luck and algorithms. But retention comes from connection. Nastya, Diana and others clearly build magical worlds speaking to children.

The Fleeting Nature of Virality

While we can highlight YouTube‘s biggest channels, viral sensations often appear and disappear without warning. Content resonates…until it doesn‘t. Lightning captured, then lost.

But that‘s the beauty of YouTube! There‘s always new creators on the rise challenging our expectations of entertainment. And I have a front row seat reacting to these trends in gaming.

So while we may never solve the riddle of "post 10", myself and other gaming pundits will never lose excitement speculating what‘s next. The algorithms turn, viral phenomenon emerge. That‘s the chaotic charm of YouTube.
