The channel used to be called “Ryan ToysReview” and consisted mainly of “unboxing videos” in which Ryan opened toys and played with them.

In second place, according to Forbes’ list, is the channel “Dude Perfect,” where a group of friends film their attempts of impossible feats, like making a basketball shot out of a helicopter.
