I don't know a single one of the YouTubers being mentioned here.
It's so crazy that 10 million subscribers is huge by YouTube standards but practically meaningless in the larger context.
Oh thank goodness. Thought it was just me.
Youtube is pretty horrid now so I tend to stay away. Seems like its mostly made for ipad babies and boomers now.
Why would you?
I mean I'm in the same boat as this guy that I've never heard of these YouTubers and I'm on YouTube a decent amount. And the reason we think that we would hear about them is the question is who do you think have the largest downfall and you would imagine if somebody was YouTube famous that they would be known by quite a few people on here. Just goes to show you the amount of people that are subscribed doesn't always reflect the actual number of people on YouTube. Pretty amazing
There are more than 50 million YouTube channels that upload new content each month and there are nearly 3 billion YouTube users, so the likelihood that you'll intersect with any of them is rather slim.
