Top YouTubers GOAT List
Top YouTubers isn’t about subscriber counts or viral spikes — it’s about influence. This league brings together the creators who shaped YouTube across different eras, genres, and audiences. From early pioneers who defined what YouTube could be, to modern creators who reinvented scale, production, and audience engagement, each contender represents a different version of YouTube greatness. Fans decide the outcome through head-to-head battles, comparing creators based on cultural impact, longevity, innovation, and audience connection. Every pick helps build a living GOAT List that reflects how viewers actually experience YouTube — not just the numbers. There’s no single definition of what makes a YouTuber “top tier.” That’s the debate. And that’s the point.
