Here is a list of The Top YouTube Content Creators you NEED to subscribe to!

We know of YouTube as one of the biggest infotainment platforms that exists. A platform that can make a commoner a millionaire and can provide a voice to anybody with a camera….YouTube these days has become a necessity rather than a desir. It is widely used for entertainment and education. From playing the ukulele to cooking Thai curry, you can learn anything and everything on YouTube!

However, surviving YouTube is no easy feat. Several famous YouTubers struggled to be where they are. The content creators listed below are from different categories but all of them have one thing in common – Constant hard work and huge net worth!

Most common categories with the most famous Youtube Content Creators include-

Comedy
Beauty and Fashion
Technology
Food
Travel
Gaming
Health and Fitness
Music and Dance

Comedy

Carry Minati– Carrying forward a legacy!

Ajey Nagar a.k.a Carry Minati started with being a gamer and took up comedy soon after. He attained fame in a very short span of time through his continuous commentary during the game streaming and also with his humorous dissing as well. One of his videos was once the most-watched video of India on YouTube.

An avid gamer, Nagar posted his first Youtube video when he was 10 years old, and hasn’t looked back since then. The content he produces consists mainly of “dissing” the cringe-worthy user-generated content that is spreading on all major social media platforms.

His youtube popularity is such that he ended up interviewing Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill. He responded to a video by PewDiePie where he had insulted an Indian man speaking in broken English, by releasing a video by the name of “Bye PewDiePie”. Nagar says that the goal of the video was to move Indians to feel deeply for their country and protect its reputation whenever a need arises.

His Youtube videos are in Hindi, which gives him the advantage of catering to a larger section of Indian audience. Ajey Nagar refuses to shift his content from Hindi to English to make it global, because he feels that one can succeed only when one is connected to their roots.

6. Emiway Bantai

Youtube Channel	Emiway Bantai
Subscribers	16 Million Subscribers
Most Popular Video	Maali Waali Aunty

Emiway Bantai is actually an amalgamation of “Eminem” and “Lil Wayne”, as he confessed in one of his videos. As far as his videos are concerned, you must be knowing it already (Maaloom hai na?)

He left studies after completing his 12th, and struggled through his days with mumble rap, with videos like “Maal waali Aunty”, which was deleted from his youtube channel. According to rap enthusiasts, it was only after his diss song meant for Raftaar, that his popularity grew manifold.

However, it was his original “Machayenge” which not only garnered a lot of views among the audience, but put him up in the rankings of commercial “independent” artists, as he claims to be.

Conclusion-

Evidently, one can make millions on YouTube. But it definitely requires hard work to stay consistent and relevant. The cancel culture today makes it difficult to sustain on social media platforms and hence we applaud all creators for their consistent effort.
