British YouTube Star KSI Once Had A “Wayback” On How He Used To Have More Subscribers Than YouTube’s King PewDiePie

British YouTuber KSI has been one of the oldest YouTube creators of all time. According to a video from 2016, it was revealed that he has been a YouTube creator since July 24, 2009. Thus, it is not surprising that he has seen several changes in the community and the platform in total.

But the most important factor here is that the British YouTuber KSI once had more subscribers than YouTube’s king PewDiePie. Thus says his 2016 video titled, “I HAD MORE SUBSCRIBERS THAN PEWDIEPIE”, where he used the wayback machine, a website that archives all the activities on the internet. Here he was shocked at how he progressed over the years, and especially how he blew up on YouTube.

KSI once had more subscribers than PewDiePie!

British YouTube star KSI while recording the “I HAD MORE SUBSCRIBERS THAN PEWDIEPIE” video got curious as to how he did in 2010 against PewDiePie. While surfing through the Wayback Machine on the internet, KSI got nostalgic as he was able to see all the changes and all the videos that he did as a young YouTuber.

Surprisingly, KSI had 3, 222 subscribers as of December 8, 2010, while PewDiePie only had 19 subscribers as of November 2010. This shocked KSI because he couldn’t believe that he had more subscribers that PewDiePie at one point in time. He even said, “My f**king God. My n**** had 19 subscribers. I had more subscribers than PewDiePie. Dude, that’s mad.”

Notably, PewDiePie had a previous account named PewDie in 2006, but since he forgot the password to that account, the King of YouTube had to make another account by the name of PewDiePie in 2010. That can be a reason why many didn’t know about his latest account at the time, and why KSI had more subscribers than him.

The video that made JJ blow up on YouTube

In the same video, Olajide Olayinka Williams ‘JJ’ Olatunji, better known as KSI, came to know about his first most watched video. He was scrolling through the video playlist from February 2012, when he saw that one of his videos titled “HESKEY TIME – Randolph ft. KSIOlajidebt (Music Video)”. The video was eventually about Emile Heskey, a former British soccer player, who was also a playable character in FIFA 2012.

KSI, therefore, said that it was “nostalgic” to experience the growth that he had over the years. However, what’s your thought on all this? Let us know in the comments below.
