Top Gaming Influencers on YouTube

Any specialty or subject on YouTube or other social media platforms may lead to massive revenues just by posting your films and sharing them with the world. Every view matters, every like is valuable, and every sharing increases traffic.

Our online community has had a lot of fun and excitement thanks to online gaming. As the popularity of online games and online communities grows, influencers earn more and more. How does it function?

Here's a rundown of the top gaming YouTube influencers and how they got started:

Fischbach, Mark

Markiplier, a Hawaii-born army officer, walked out of college, where he was studying engineering, to pursue a career as a YouTube gaming pundit. His videos, which specialize on horror, have been seen over 7 billion times in five years. What is his ultimate indicator of crossover success? In 2016, he signed a contract with the mega-agency William Morris Endeavor.

Kjellberg, Felix

In 2016, PewDiePie, also known as PewDiePie, was the world's highest-paid YouTube Influencer.

Maker Studios, a Disney company and his multi-channel network partner, broke relations with him. He was also kicked from YouTube's Red platform and Google Preferred. While his reputation is harmed, he continues to generate millions from YouTube advertisements alone.
