PewDiePie and T-Series, two of the most subscribed channels on YouTube, have been running the most famous race on YouTube for the past couple of months, as we see the gap between their subscribers count reduce everyday.
Yesterday, MrBeast posted a video on his YouTube channel in which you’ll see him say the word “PewDiePie” 100,000 times. Yes, the video is more than 11 hours long, and all MrBeast did was sit in front of the camera and kept saying PewDiePie.
But this last video where MrBeast chants PewDiePie 100,000 times went viral, as expected. The video has garnered over 4 million views at the time of writing this, and I am sure millions of others will tune in to check it out. I say this because most of his “counting” videos have around 15 million views each.
Like it or not, this feeble attempt to attract some eyeballs seems like it has worked out pretty well for both MrBeast and PewDiePie. Ever since MrBeast dropped the announcement of this video, he started getting more attention. He was wildly covered by media, which in turn got him more subscribers and views.

Sounds crazy, right? Well, if you anything about Jimmy or if you’ve watched his previous live streams, then this might not really be very surprising. MrBeast is known for his ‘clickbait’ content. You may have seen him tipping absurdly huge amounts, or buying a car only using pennies. Clickbait content on MrBeast’s channel
Of course, he’s merely doing these videos for views and, obviously, money.
