In recent reports, Cristiano Ronaldo, the globally renowned football star, has been barred from establishing a YouTube channel. The decision comes amid concerns about the extraordinary number of subscribers and views his channel could attract, potentially leading to unsustainable costs for YouTube and other content creators on the platform.
Suffering from success?
To illustrate the potential impact, consider the example of MrBeast, who holds the record for the most subscribers on YouTube. It took MrBeast around thirteen years to amass 200 million subscribers. In stark contrast, estimates suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo could reach the same number of subscribers in less than three years due to his immense popularity.
Previously, when Cristiano Ronaldo launched an official TikTok account, he reached 4 million followers, garnered 10 million likes, and achieved verification in under a day. This rapid surge in followers and activity proved disruptive to the platform, prompting TikTok to ban his account.
TikTok cited financial constraints, indicating that the platform could not handle the sheer volume of views that Ronaldo’s content generated.

On Instagram, Ronaldo’s dominance is even more pronounced. He boasts a staggering 630 million followers, making him one of the most followed individuals on the platform. His posts consistently garner millions of likes and comments, further demonstrating his widespread appeal and influence.
While YouTube and other platforms benefit from the traffic and engagement brought by celebrities, they must also consider the financial and operational implications of accommodating such significant influxes of activity.
