What this YouTube ranking counts
The ranking adds the publicly displayed subscriber counts for each qualifying official YouTube channel controlled by the listed creator or creator group. Primary, secondary, live, podcast and niche channels receive the same review for every serious candidate.
Important limitation: YouTube publicly rounds many subscriber counts. Totals on this page are approximate snapshots, and a person may subscribe to more than one channel in the same portfolio.
Group channels are ranked as group entities. Shared channels are not copied in full to every individual member. Fan, clip, employer, network and collaborator-owned channels are excluded unless creator control is established.
Publisher disclosure: Josh Liljenquist publishes this website and is included in the ranking. The same channel-control and Minnesota-eligibility rules are applied to every creator or creator group listed. The public JSON snapshot and source links are provided for review.
