YouTube hasn’t yet congratulated MrBeast for surpassing T-Series as they did when he overtook PewDiePie years ago, sparking some confusion among fans.
However, YouTube hasn’t officially recognized MrBeast’s massive victory on any of their social profiles, and fans are sounding off about it online.
“30 hours after the MrBeast/T-Series overtake was confirmed at 267M, as of now, YouTube has still said nothing.”
As of June 3, YouTube still has not acknowledged the major cultural moment — something viewers pointed out in comments under the company’s recent posts on X.
“You should congratulate MrBeast,” reads one comment.

That being said, YouTube Liason Rene Ritchie acknowledged MrBeast’s accomplishment in a post on X shortly after the news first broke, writing: “Congrats MrBeast and team! So great having a creator in the top spot again!”

Given the platform’s history of shining a spotlight on its biggest creators and moments, it’s certainly strange that the company hasn’t shouted out MrBeast in an official capacity since rising to the top of the platform’s rankings.
