MKBHD (Marques Brownlee)

MKBHD dominates tech YouTube with 19 million subscribers and over 100 million monthly views in 2025, an unparalleled reach that outperforms #2 Linus Tech Tips by 4 million subscribers and triple the average monthly viewership. His 8K production quality and long-form deep-dives set the gold standard for the platform, while the Waveform podcast—co-hosted with Andrew Manganelli—extends his influence beyond reviews. Even the 2023 AI Art controversy, which sparked industry-wide ethics discussions, underscored his role as a thought leader, not just a reviewer.
