- Channels that auto-aggregate content rather than creating it fresh (such as news sites) are excluded, as are channels whose content is essentially a duplicate of the original source (such as TaylorSwiftVEVO, which pulls content from Taylor Swift’s own channel).
- The creators of the Kids Diana Show originally lived in the Ukraine, but subsequently relocated to the US. Similarly, the creators of Like Nastya and Vlad and Niki lived in Russia when founding their channels, but later relocated to the US.
- The United States is given a half-credit because while the main PewPewDie channel currently posts from Japan (its creator having relocated from Sweden), its highlights channel posts from the United States.
- Data accurate up to October 2024
- For the purposes of this research, channels considered to be “top YouTubers” are those boasting at least 57.5 million subscribers.
A lot of people have made a significant amount of money on YouTube, but what makes money in one country might not necessarily make money in another. For example, the most popular YouTuber in the world is someone who goes by the name PewDiePie. He is originally from Sweden, but people all over the world watch his videos. Even though he was born in Sweden, he currently lives in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, his channel is registered in the United States, which is where YouTube is based. He has been on YouTube for more than 10 years, and he has more than 105 million subscribers. Even though his following has risen and fallen over the years, he remains an incredibly popular YouTuber.
Who Is the Most Popular YouTuber in the United States?
The most popular YouTuber in the United States is Like Nastya. This is a channel that has over 120 million followers. This channel focuses on the entertainment industry, and a lot of people watch these videos to learn more about the most recent trends. In addition, the channel also focuses on collecting suggestions from followers for future videos, which is a great way to keep people interested in its content. New channels develop all the time, particularly in the United States, and many of them become very popular.
What Are the Most Popular Categories for YouTube Videos?
Lots of people are thinking about starting their own YouTube channel, and there are plenty of ways to make money on YouTube. For example, the most popular category is entertainment. This refers to people who post videos on celebrities. For example, if there is a new movie coming out, someone may post a YouTube review of it. Or, someone may do an interview with a celebrity, which people are interested in. Entertainment is a broad category. Given that YouTube’s primary value is entertainment, it should come as no surprise that many of the top YouTube channels focus on entertainment.
At the same time, there are plenty of other channels available, as well. For example, a lot of people like to post YouTube videos of themselves playing games. There are also lots of people who post helpful videos on how to do chores around the house. All of these videos are ways to make money.
How Do YouTubers Make Money From Their Videos?
The vast majority of YouTubers make money through ad content. For example, there may be a paid promotion in the YouTube video that the creator gets paid for. Or, YouTube may add some video ads or banner ads to the video itself. Then, the more people see that video, the more ad revenue the channel generates. Because YouTube generates a lot of revenue based on the ads that it places in those videos, it shares the revenue with the people who make them.
