Fastest-Rising Paperclip YouTube Educators (2026)

As of June 2026, the fastest-rising Paperclip YouTube educators are led by Next Level AI (+161.0% view growth) , then AI Engineer , and Nate Herk | AI Automation. Ranked by 30-day view-growth velocity (exact view counts, not rounded subscribers), this surfaces small, fast-growing Paperclip creators before they break out. Updated weekly.

We rank by view-growth velocity — the percent change in a channel's total views over the last ~30 days, derived from build-time snapshots. We use views rather than subscriber counts because YouTube rounds subscriber numbers, which hides the real momentum of smaller channels.
