Renetto answers an age old DanielBeast mystery

[Terryfic]

It has been observed many times that DanielBeast’s YouTube account has a ton of subscribers, yet he remains off the Most Subcribed of All Time list. We had all tossed out some theories as to why this may be the case, but finally Renetto of all people, has accidentally solved it.

He mentioned in his latest video that the YouTube system is screwy and if your icon (profile picture) is from a private video you no longer appear on the Most Subscribed list. DB’s profile picture is not from any of his public videos and thus must be from a private video and that is the reason he is not on the Most Subcribed of All Time list. Now I have wonder if this was on purpose, but I can’t imagine why.

I just watched that too. Interesting. So that mystery is solved. It could explain why others have briefly disappeared then reappeared on the list.
At the time I'm writing this, if you look at the most subscribed, RyanLeslieTV is number 8 and Boh3m3 is not on the list. I find this _absolutely hilarious_ considering Boh3m3's last few videos.
In case you missed it, he went ballistic and called RyanLeslie a "f*cking hack" amid allegations of rigging subscribers. Afterwards, RyanLeslie disappeared from the top subscribed list, Boh3m3 took down his ranting video saying it served its purpose, and calmly gloated a bit.
Edit: It looks like Boh3m3 changed his pic to a private vid pic, and that's why he's gone, which is strange since Renetto said it was Boh3m3 who alerted him to the issue. As for RyanLeslie being back, maybe he had a private vid thumbnail too, and just now changed it back. That would mean YouTube didn't really take any action to do with rigging subscriptions.
Further Edit: Just watched RyanLeslie's latest vid in which he says that YouTube did take him off the list while they investigated, and found that there was no wrong doing, so they reinstated him. So...that's that I guess.
