The Epic YouTube Battle: PewDiePie vs. T-Series - FlareTV's Triumph
Last year, a highly anticipated YouTube subscriber battle between Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg and Indian music label T-Series captured the attention of millions. As the two channels were neck and neck, two 16-year-old creators from Vancouver, British Columbia, saw an opportunity. They decided to launch FlareTV, a channel that would live-stream the real-time subscriber counts of both contenders and provide a platform for viewers to engage and discuss the contest.
FlareTV's early entry into this subscriber count tracking arena proved advantageous, as it quickly became the top-ranked search result among similar channels. Their strategic move, coupled with PewDiePie's ability to maintain his lead over T-Series, boosted FlareTV's growth dramatically. Before launching the live stream in August 2018, the channel had only 6,600 subscribers. However, within a short period, the channel's subscriber count soared to over 1.4 million, and their viewership skyrocketed from 172,000 views to an impressive 173 million lifetime views.
Other channels also joined the subscriber race tracking phenomenon, but FlareTV's success has been exceptional, perhaps attributed to a combination of first-mover advantage and the mysterious workings of the YouTube algorithm.
It is evident that tracking subscriber counts proved to be an engaging and popular content niche on YouTube, with FlareTV capitalizing on the trend and experiencing tremendous growth in their channel's audience.
