Just saying, TheMaoShia was the first cubing channel to hit 1 million subscribers in 2016 although hasn't uploaded in 2 years, and Cuby has 2.91 million subscribers and is still active.3) Dylan Wang a.k.a. J perm- most famous and subscribed YouTube channel
From what I understand the angstrom clock is total garbage. Qiyi was the first company to make a good OTB clock.Chris Tran.

But I agree that Chris was a super important part of modern cubing hardware. He was also really important in the early popularization of ZBLL back in the 2010 era.

I find it hard to nominate anyone in modern cubing history to have contributed the most to cubing, when the contributions were method fine-tuning rather than complete development.

Ummmmmmmmmmm can you speak Spanish because I can't JKKKK
Thanks for introducing a couple of new channels BUT J perm still has TUTORIAL with UNBOXINGS with speaking English so that's how I thought
I agree too. Erno Rubik could have done much more contributions to cubing. He should have been more active in cubing and pushing the boundaries, rather than running a company and just making profits.What did he do to cubing?

edit: in case it wasnt clear, im just joking
I think that it’s great that he ran a very successful company. He deserved all the money that he made, and he is the one who created the cube after all, so you can’t really criticize that.I agree too. Erno Rubik could have done much more contributions to cubing.

He could have done much more, and done what the WCA did much earlier?I think that it’s great that he ran a very successful company. He deserved all the money that he made, and he is the one who created the cube after all, so you can’t really criticize that.
While I agree Erno Rubik certainly could have done more to grow cubing, what he did do was so much more important that anyone in the poll. If all of the people in the poll were never born, cubing would still most likely exist. You can't say the same about Erno Rubik.He could have done much more, and done what the WCA did much earlier?
After the one world championship in 198x, there was no followup, there was no community buildup worldwide, or good speedcube designs, just Rubik running his company and selling more of the 1-2TPSmaxable 3x3s, Although I am not complaining, but he could have helped cubing grow and especially speedcubing grow, if he had the will to do it.
True, I hope all the corner first variants and waterman method should enter back into the cubing scene and be adopted by fast solvers.Seems to me the obvious choice is Marc Waterman, and he isn't even on the list.
He and is group totally dominated cubing from 1983 to 1989 and produced more advancements than any other single group.
And this is the smocking gun in the discussion. Good point!. While many have contributed to the cube development AFTER it was invented Erno deserves the utmost respect for his discovery of the original concept of the 3x3 cube. It has been truly remarkable how far some of our community has taken and extended & developed these ideas tough!!! ...Which is of course the idea of this thread!While I agree Erno Rubik certainly could have done more to grow cubing, what he did do was so much more important that anyone in the poll.

Yeah all these law suits from Rubiks company is a bone in the throat for the cubing community.That and all of the wonderful lawsuits
