The feud has worked out in favor of both channels though, sending their subscriber counts skyrocketing and culminating in the creation of a new award for YouTube creators. YouTube began the YouTube Creator Rewards program as a way to show its appreciation to its top creators and give them recognition.
Previously, the highest honor a YouTube Creator could earn was the Custom Play Button by reaching 50 million subscribers, which T-Series and PewDiePie are both owners of as well.
Other physical awards include the Diamond Play Button awarded to channels with 10 million subscribers, the Gold Play Button for channels that surpass 1 million, and the Silver Play Button for channels that reach 100,000 subscribers.
YouTube Originals released after September 24 will be free for everyone
