A decade later, ElRubius is no longer king: this is the most followed new youtuber in Spain

For more than ten years, ElRubius has enjoyed the title of 'Spanish YouTuber with the most subscribers', which raised him to a fame that he did not always put up with. However, his luck has just changed. After a long period being number one, ElRubius was dethroned at the end of July by the youtuber Mikecrack.

As of August 3, Mikecrack's YouTube channel has 40.9 million subscribers, while ElRubius has 40.4 million followers. This novelty has caught more than one by surprise, since the identity of the new king of YouTube is unknown to many, something about which the 'streamer' himself recently joked on his networks.

Who is Mikecrack? His real name is Miguel Bernal although on platforms he often uses his animated alter ego, an orange dog named Mike, reminiscent of the popular Jake from Adventure Time. As for the content it generates, Mikecrack is characterized by its variety: from gameplays, to songs, to vlogs and the most curious experiments.

His videos are aimed at a young audience, who every week enjoy his own series, Las Perrerías de Mike, as well as his adventures in video games like Minecraft, Fortnite or Roblox.

The man from Madrid is part of the group Los Compas, in which fellow youtubers Timba Vk and ElTrollino participate; Along with them, Mikecrack often records content, in addition to having published several group books.

Despite the fact that Mikecrack has achieved the title of youtuber in Spain with the highest number of subscribers a few days ago, the truth is that El Reino Infantil, an Argentine channel, is currently the Spanish-speaking king. The channel has 58.8 million subscribers who enjoy its catchy children's songs daily.
