YouTubers tier list questions
Why are streamers and channels like Vsauce on a YouTuber list?
Many streamers also post on YouTube, and groups such as Sidemen and Dude Perfect are channels in their own right. Fans rank them all together, so the list mixes creators, collectives and channels.
Why are subscriber counts left out?
Subscriber and follower counts change every day and would be out of date almost immediately. The write-ups describe what each creator is known for, and the reviewed date shows when facts were checked.
How should I rank YouTubers?
Common criteria include entertainment value, content quality, personality, influence and how long you have watched them. Many viewers rank by genre, such as gaming, science or tech.
