But an Indian musical label company, T-Series, was giving him a hard time as the war for the biggest YouTube channel was going on. During this time, it was Jimmy who eventually emerged as the savior for Felix. He helped him a lot in surviving on the streaming platform.

When MrBeast helped PewDiePie from losing out on YouTube

In case anyone has forgotten, the legendary battle between PewDiePie and Indian music record label and film production company T-Series was one of the trending topics between 2018 and 2019. The fight for being number one on YouTube was so intense that either of them could be termed the champion. It’s because there was just a negligible difference between their respective subscriber counts.

It was at this time that Felix needed the help of other popular creators in order to promote him so that he could gain more new subscribers as fast as possible. This was quite necessary for him if he wanted to prevent T-Series’ channel from overshadowing his own.

MrBeast was the one who played a big role in saving PewDiePie. Jimmy literally ran ads for him on the Billboard and also in the Super Bowl matches. It was done to make people interested in subscribing to Felix so that he could remain the most subscribed entity.

His efforts did help PewDiePie, that time, as he managed to stay afloat. As a gesture of huge thanks, he even mentioned MrBeast in his video, which you can watch below. Not to mention that the smile on his was unmatched, as he was full of gratitude for the king of viral videos. “You saved my life, “ he said while praising Jimmy infinitely.
