We have a special surprise to celebrate 500 million subscribers. You ready to see it? Yes, I'm ready. Take a look. Whoa. Oh my gosh, and it's our color, dude. This is awesome. Thank you, thank you. And obviously, thank you to every single one of you that subscribed. I mean, I have a lot I want to say, but I'll save it for the end of the video for now. Let's go see who wins. I wanted to say something from my childhood bedroom, where before I had 500 million subscribers, actually one day I had zero subscribers. This is where I created my channel. And partially why I wanted to do this video where I gave a nod to all these OG YouTubers that came before me. Because when I was a little kid in this bedroom, a lot of these creators, I used to watch them every single day. And I just want to one more time just say thank you to the 50 creators that came out. You guys are all amazing. Everyone was super kind. I'm very grateful for all of you. And I also just want to say thank you to all of you that watch the videos. Because without you guys watching these videos, I wouldn't be able to build wells around the world, feed people in need. I want to be able to do the good I do. Even if it was still just a handful of you watching, even if most of the views went away and it was just me right now talking to 10 of you, I'd still be grinding YouTube. I love this more than you could ever imagine. I'm beyond blessed to have this many viewers. In closing, I just want to say, I will never take you guys for granted. And thanks for watching.
