As 2023 comes to a close it’s time for BOSSIP’s annual list of top YouTube channels providing the best content on the platform.
Currently, we are in the “golden age” of content with podcast mics and video equipment flying off the shelves. Even with the majority of the content being trash, some people have figured out how to captivate the world while building a fan base off of their personality. With the YouTube landscape being more competitive than ever, we always end the year appreciating those who dominated in the space.
According to Business of Apps, the platform reportedly reached 2.7 billion active users this year and the platform revealed that 80 million of those users are paid subscribers.
