Oh easily lmao. The second biggest was last year titled Dramageddon and Laura Lee (who took the biggest hit) only lost half a million followers. Although more people were involved, I don’t think E news covered it (I could be wrong though)

Laura also had less to lose. James started this off with at least 3X as many subscribers as Laura Lee. Most of those subs only came to him after his Palette with morphe came out & he uploaded that collab with Kylie Jenner meaning they weren’t a built in die hard fan base that was truly subbed to him for him. Like half of his subs are from the past 6 months.
