Growth rate measured from milestone crossings, still blended with lifetime average. The dimmed digits are within ±16.7K and narrow as we watch.
YouTube publishes subscriber counts rounded to three significant figures, so the exact figure is never public. The number above is projected from our own recorded readings; the badge tells you which kind of number you are looking at, and the methodology page explains how it is worked out.
Subscriber and view figures originate from the YouTube Data API and remain the property of their respective owners. Growth rates, projections, milestone estimates and written analysis are LiveCount’s own work, derived from readings we record ourselves. LiveCount is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to YouTube or Google.
Vsauce is adding about 3,756 subscribers a day. We have not seen a weekly gain in the last seven days, but thirty-day growth sits at 100,000. On this pace it reaches 26,000,000 by around 1 June 2027. The recent pace versus the previous three weeks is 0x, indicating no change in speed.

Where the count lands if the current growth rate holds. The range is not a margin of error on a measurement — it is the spread of outcomes we think plausible, and it widens with the horizon because a rate measured today is only approximately right tomorrow.
