The creation of content on social networks as we know it today began on YouTube many years ago. Even streaming, which is fashionable today, was born on the platform, although Twitch would go on to take the ‘crown’ in the market.
There was a time when YouTubers took their first steps on the Internet with no intention of making money, because back then it was a simple ‘hobby’.
But over the years, this has changed completely, and content creation is now a job for many, and not just any job, but one that young people today dream of. Despite this, succeeding in social networks is very difficult and being near the ‘top’ is almost impossible.
MrBeast and the prize of 200 million subscribers
In the world of social media and new platforms, many people make a living from their own work, but only a select few are among the ‘elite’, people who have also become ‘superstars’, as is the case of YouTuber MrBeast.
Thanks to his crazy videos, the American has put together a personal channel that has the most YouTube subscribers in the world with 240 million subscribers. It’s something that has allowed him to receive a unique award for exceeding 200 million followers, a replica of his logo in a 3D ‘diamond’.
YouTube plaques
The video platform is characterized by the recognition it gives its creators. This is expressed in the form of plaques that are achieved every time a certain number of subscribers is reached, starting at 100,000 and ending at 200 million, at least so far. These are the different YouTube plaques:
Silver plaque: 100,000 subscribers.
Gold plaque: 1,000,000 subscribers.
Diamond plaque: 10,000,000 subscribers.
Ruby plaque: 50,000,000 subscribers.
Red diamond plaque: 100,000,000,000 subscribers.
Diamond logo: 200,000,000,000 subscribers
