What counts as faceless here
A channel makes the list when nobody's face is the format: no host or vlogger talking to camera. The videos are animation, a voiceover over visuals, music with a looping scene, gameplay without a facecam, maps or clip compilations. A rare face reveal is fine if the normal videos stay faceless. Record labels and TV networks whose videos show performers or actors are left out.
Rank is by subscribers. Subscriber, view and video counts, join dates and countries are read from each channel's own YouTube About page and re-checked every day, so they move. YouTube rounds subscriber counts, so two channels can show the same number.
Channel descriptions are written in our own words from the linked sources, for learning and inspiration. Numbers are public figures shown by YouTube on the day they were checked, not earnings, and growth on any channel depends on many things. Starting a faceless channel does not guarantee any audience or income. Channel names and YouTube belong to their owners, and we are not affiliated with them or with YouTube. If you run a listed channel and want it corrected or removed, contact us and we will act on it.
