The post has gone viral online with over 12 million views and thousands of comments from social media users.

“Should be streamed live on YouTube,” one user wrote. Another user commented, “You will be the 1st YouTuber to hit 1 billion.”

“If only this would actually happen,” a third user remarked. A fourth user added, “You can't beat. T-Series has 1.4 billion people behind.”

A user even started a poll asking people who will win in a boxing match between MrBeast and T-Series.

"Anybody else remember the last time the biggest YouTuber went up against T-Series in a playful competition? It didn't end well," another person commented, in a cue to the online rivalry between Swedish YouTuber PePewDiePie and T-Series in 2019.

A user chimed in, "I would just like to say, don't make the same mistake Like PewDiePie did."
