Geographic eligibility corrections dated September 19, 2026. Audience values and their individual observation dates remain from the September 17 source snapshot; they were not remeasured. Numerical positions were recalculated only after current-base eligibility holds. Unresolved current geography does not mean a confirmed move elsewhere.

Which Minnesota YouTube creators are included?
The preserved source edition contains 15 ranked creator entities and 11 partial research records. It counts subscribers across qualifying creator-controlled channels, not every Minnesota YouTuber or unique viewers. Partial records are not zero.
For creators by topic and recorded platform, browse the 47-record directory and choose YouTube. Its 32 YouTube labels are discovery metadata, a different population from this verified audience comparison. For hometowns and formative ties, use Minnesota creator origins; being from Minnesota does not establish a current base.

Short answer
Who leads this Minnesota YouTube dataset?
As of September 2026, CboysTV has the largest publicly reproducible YouTube subscriber total among the currently Minnesota-based creators included in this dataset, with approximately 5.93 million subscribers across two publicly linked official channels.
Subscriber totals across multiple channels are aggregated and do not represent unique subscribers.
~5.93Mpublicly verified channel subscribers
Two CboysTV-controlled YouTube channels
One metric, applied symmetrically
What this YouTube ranking counts
The ranking adds publicly displayed subscriber counts only when public evidence independently connects each channel to the listed creator or creator group. Primary, secondary, live, podcast and niche channels receive the same evidence test for every candidate; private account access is not ranking evidence.
A birthplace or hometown alone does not establish a current professional base. Use the linked records to examine each source and its date.
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.

Channel portfolio transparency
How multi-channel totals were built
These three examples preserve the September 17, 2026 account-audit snapshot. Lofe and Hannah Lee Duggan are held outside the current ranking after the September 19 geography review. Expand each example to see the original displayed-value arithmetic.
CboysTV · ~5.93M across 2 channels
- CboysTV: ~5.52M
- Life Wide Open: ~409K
Both channels are tied to the creator group through its official public account network. The audience is assigned once to CboysTV, not to each member.
Lofe · ~2.25M across 2 channels
- Lofe: ~2.15M
- Lofe Live: ~101K
The secondary live channel has a distinct audience and a public relationship to the primary creator channel.
Hannah Lee Duggan · ~1.09M across 2 channels
- Hannah Lee Duggan: ~1.05M
- hannah lee: ~39.6K
The secondary channel is linked from the creator's own published YouTube descriptions.

Other YouTube candidates checked in the Minnesota audit
These are the 11 partial records retained in the September source edition. The table preserves that audit’s figures and ranking holds. Separately dated follow-ups can resolve an identity or geography question without remeasuring subscribers or establishing a complete comparable portfolio.

Partial records remain outside this dated ranking. Later account or geography verification does not retroactively remeasure the audience comparison.
Geography kept explicit
Minnesota-born YouTube creators now based elsewhere
These prominent creators have meaningful Minnesota ties but are excluded from the primary ranking because the dataset requires a current Minnesota base.
Justin Flom
Born in Edina and now associated with the Las Vegas area. His large YouTube portfolio is not part of the current-Minnesota table.
Chad Wild Clay
Minnesota native now based in the Las Vegas area. His large YouTube audience remains outside this ranking.
Haley Kalil
Born in Excelsior and currently based in New York City.
Jimmy Darts
Grew up in Walker; recent Minnesota Star Tribune reporting places him in Orange County, California.
Vice Grip Garage
The channel developed while based in Minnesota and is now operated from Tennessee.
Sydney Serena + Yung Gravy
Both are Minnesota-linked creators whose current public bases are outside the state.

Concise answers
Minnesota YouTube creator questions
Who leads this Minnesota YouTube dataset?
In this September 2026 snapshot, CboysTV has the largest publicly reproducible total at approximately 5.93 million subscribers across two official, publicly linked channels.
Are subscriber totals exact?
No. YouTube publicly rounds many channel counts, and multi-channel totals can include overlapping subscribers.
Why does the ranking include some secondary channels?
A secondary channel is counted only when a public official account network or equivalent independent evidence connects it to the creator. Private account access is not used.
How is this different from the Minnesota Creator Index?
This page ranks YouTube subscribers only. The Minnesota Creator Index compares audience totals across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.
Current geography review; historical audience retained
On October 29, the shared geography review reconciled Squirmy and Grubs as a documented non-exclusive Twin Cities creator base, alongside a seasonal Los Angeles base. The source-backed decision applies consistently across the current directories and platform supplements.
This page’s ranked and partial arrays remain the original dated audience comparison. They have not been remeasured or reranked. A partial YouTube or Instagram observation is not zero or newly rankable merely because a geography question is resolved. Use a separately dated comparable audience edition before recalculating a ranking.
