Felix "PewDiePie" is a name synonymous with YouTube. Currently commanding over 111 million subscribers, he sits at the top of the most subscribed YouTube channel list. But his days might just be numbered with popular content creator MrBeast hot on his tail.YT Battles 📊@pwnyygamingPewDiePie on if MrBeast will pass him now that he has 100M subscribers10324249PewDiePie on if MrBeast will pass him now that he has 100M subscribers https://t.co/LvMkLD1RAoIn his most recent Q&A, Felix congratulated MrBeast for crossing the 100 million mark. Furthermore, the questionnaire enquired if he reckons the American will surpass his astonishing subscriber count. Adopting an affirmative and confident tone, the Swedish YouTuber insisted that could be the case:"Yeah, he definitely will. Come on...""I guess I'm getting the taste of my own medicine": PewDiePie feels MrBeast's ascension to top of YouTube ranks is imminentThe two YouTubers are famous in their own right, but for vastly different reasons. PewDiePie started his channel in 2010 and climbed the content ladder by posting video games, let's play videos and comedic commentaries. He later diversified into highly popular meme reviews and reaction content as well.MrBeast, on the other hand, only went viral in 2017 and has little to do with gaming. His first successful video was titled "Counting to 100,000." He revolutionized content creation with his new format of viral videos with absurd titles and ideas which attracts much of his audience.In a recently uploaded video titled "QnA in a Typhoon..", the king of YouTube was asked whether he thought MrBeast would overtake his subscriber count. The question, from a commenter named "HoweDaddy," specifically asked:Now that MrBeast has 100 million subscribers, do you think he will ever pass you? What would you think if he did?"Before answering that question, PewDiePie congratulated MrBeast for achieving the staggering milestone of 100 million subs. He himself hit the pinnacle back in 2019 as his subscriber war with T-series is forever inscribed in the hearts of all. In fact, MrBeast was a big supporter of the Swede, making numerous videos asking people to subscribe to him.PewDiePie seemed quite happy at the prospect of being beaten by MrBeast. With his recent move to Japan, Felix's content has changed dramatically. In the last two years, the creator has been quite inconsistent with his uploads, especially considering his reputation for daily videos in the past. Speaking about his "retirement," the YouTuber cheerfully answered the question:"Come on, I've been retired for like two years now. I can't wait for it to be over. His fans are infiltrating my comments... I guess I'm getting a taste of my own medicine."He also praised MrBeast's growth, saying that he deserves to be at the top:"That's all right. He deserves it."Twitter reactionsThe famous Bro Army reacted to the clip with mixed feelings. Many refused to believe his reign as the top YouTube channel was over, while others praised his past achievements:Leon@the0nekr@pwnyygaming retire ahahahah what is this joke my guy still uploads regularly and talks about being retired pewdiepie is not to trend with the new world of yt36@pwnyygaming retire ahahahah what is this joke my guy still uploads regularly and talks about being retired pewdiepie is not to trend with the new world of ytLuca@lucacritics@the0nekr @pwnyygaming Actually he doesn’t upload daily anymore.

However, while he is beloved by many, most fans are clearly reluctant to pass the mantle of the most subscribed channel so easily.
