One night after creating his personal YouTube, Ronaldo quickly established many achievements on the platform. CR7’s success was predictable because of his popularity on social networks. On the other hand, the football superstar knows how to exploit his name to attract users on digital platforms.

Given the platform’s growth trends, Ronaldo is expected to challenge MrBeast’s dominance on YouTube, despite the current gap.

Ronaldo arrived at the right time

In the latter stages of his career, Ronaldo has more time to develop for the video platform, which is labor-intensive to produce and requires a steady stream of posts. On the other hand, the numbers show that this is a prime time for a star like him to join YouTube.

Recently, soccer channels like Celine Dept and AG Soccer Team have been gaining massive viewership. Their combined subscriber counts could put them in the top 50 on YouTube right now. Popular content creators are also looking to get into the soccer industry. YouTuber Dude Perfect recently purchased a minority stake, but also made them part owners of EPL team Burnley.

Logan Paul, the controversial content creator and owner of Prime energy drinks, announced a partnership with Arsenal, one of the Big 6 and runners-up in the Premier League for the last two seasons. YouTube group Sidemen also sponsors a semi-professional English football team, sporting their Sides (fast food) logo on their shirts.

iShowSpeed, one of the most popular YouTubers/Streamers on the platform right now, is a die-hard Ronaldo fan. His most popular content is all about CR7. This shows his fame and interest in the former Real Madrid star.

On the other hand, TubeFilter believes that developing a YouTube channel also opens up opportunities for Ronaldo to penetrate deeper into the media field in the US. Famous sports stars such as Kevin Durant, Lebron James or Bryson DeChambeau attract millions of views on the platform thanks to the combination of formats from top YouTubers, with personal perspectives.

Ronaldo also did the same with his account. In the newly posted video series, the content includes selections (This or That) or Podcast, Vlog appeared. This genre is not new, but it is interested in the leader is a top football star.

Can CR7 surpass MrBeast?

After announcing the channel, Ronaldo immediately broke many records. UR Cristiano is the fastest account to reach 100,000, 1 million, 10 million subscribers on YouTube. After about 14 hours of launching, YouTuber CR7 reached 12 million followers. At the current growth rate, Variety predicts that Ronaldo can surpass MrBeast to become the most subscribed account.

Beyond the Portuguese captain’s global popularity, Ronaldo’s growth on other platforms shows the potential for growth. Specifically, the owner of 5 Ballon d’Or is the most followed person on all social networks, with a total of more than 920 million. Converting just a third of that to YouTube, he could be on par with MrBeast.

On the other hand, Ronaldo also showed a high level of investment in the YouTube project. The account announcement video was prepared in advance, edited according to the popular trends on the platform. About 18 videos were published simultaneously, with a variety of topics for viewers to follow. Among them, there were also long-running programs, carefully prepared.

UR Cristiano is favored by YouTube. The company has provided Ronaldo with official verification since its creation. Normally, those who reach at least 100,000 subscribers are distributed with a tick. On the other hand, as soon as CR7 reaches 1 million subscribers, the golden button reward is also sent to his home as prepared in advance.

In the past, digital rivalries have often helped both sides grow. The battle between PewDiePie and T Series has brought them a lot of fame. MrBeast himself has also reaped the rewards by following and supporting PewDiePie.
