THE RACE, OVER TIME
Last 30 days · Daily recordsDaily counts with source records.
Showing 30 saved daily records · 2026-09-28 to 2026-10-27 (provider date labels). Growth is measured from the first record in this period.
Source: SocialCounts reported daily history, captured Oct 28, 2026. Both channels use the same provider and matching date labels; the retrieval day is excluded. The provider supplies dates without a timezone or per-day capture time. These are third-party channel totals, not owner Analytics or live-counter estimates. Repeated values are retained; no missing counts are filled.
Change in saved view counts since Sep 28. Each value is the difference between saved cumulative counts; this is not a live counter.

Latest archive: 2026-10-27 (provider date labels). Each dot has a saved source record. Lines connect saved observations, including across missing dates; no counts are added for those dates. Rounded subscriber counts can stay flat while the channel gains subscribers.
30 paired saved dates, Sep 28, 2026 to Oct 27, 2026. The current counter cards were checked separately and are not silently added to the historical line.
Go beyond the counters and investigate the content.
Research with Kabo Agent →READING THE CONTENT
The group is familiar; the setup makes each episode distinct.
Compare the group channels, not their combined networks.
The subscriber cards count one main channel per group. They do not add the members’ personal channels or paid products. Adding those audiences would count some people more than once and make the two sides depend on arbitrary inclusion rules. Lifetime views and public upload counts describe these particular catalogs. Total views divided by video count is supplied as a catalog ratio, not the view count a typical new upload should achieve.
Sidemen’s recent titles make a constraint easy to explain.
The latest-tab sample includes travelling for 24 hours in one direction, a £2,000 car challenge and a last-to-leave restaurant challenge. Each title gives the group a concrete situation, budget or rule. That creates a clear question for a prospective viewer before they click. This is evidence about the packaging visible on the channel page, not a claim about unseen scenes, production decisions or what caused the final view count.
Beta Squad’s sample includes recurring social-game formats.
Mafia, murder mystery and last-to-leave titles appear in the saved sample, alongside a mukbang and a grocery-store challenge. The named game tells the viewer what sort of episode to expect while participants and setting can vary. The public sample supports that observation; it does not establish retention, chemistry or audience overlap. The channel trend separately uses matching SocialCounts date labels within the displayed window for both groups. Its recorded changes describe this specific interval, not retention or the performance of any one episode.
VISIBLE UPLOADS · TITLE AND FORMAT CONTEXT
What do the channels actually put in front of viewers?
Six first-visible entries from each channel’s Videos tab in Latest order, checked Oct 28, 2026. This selection excludes separate Shorts and Live tabs. Views and relative ages are retained as displayed; these are cumulative counts at different ages, not a fair launch-performance ranking.

Know what each number can answer.
Are MoreSidemen and personal channels included?
No. The page compares only the linked Sidemen and Beta Squad main channels. Related channels and paid services are excluded.
Which group has more subscribers?
Use the dated public subscriber cards above. This is a channel comparison, not a count of unique fans across the groups’ networks.
How is the recorded growth compared?
The chart subtracts the first saved SocialCounts total from subsequent totals, using the same available date labels for both channels. No values are added for missing dates; the source does not specify a daily timezone.
Dated public counts
Current counts come from the linked public-data envelopes or the official YouTube About panels. Both include retrieval times. A saved text capture preserves what was visible; it is separate from the historical archive.
Saved history, with its limits
Both historical series come from SocialCounts’ reported daily channel totals. Original JSON responses, retrieval times, provider dates and SHA256 checksums are saved. A date label is not a precise observation time: the source does not specify its daily timezone. Repeated totals can reflect reporting or caching; these differences are not YouTube Analytics daily-view reports.
No private audience claims
YouTube’s public channel statistics do not provide private retention, watch time, revenue, unique viewers or audience overlap. None is inferred from the counters or titles here.
