Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 9600945" data-attributes="member: 18">It doesn't seem to be hugely watched to judge from Prime though, at least in the UK - Prime shows the Top 10 most viewed shows/movies in the UK and it's often not in that at all, and I've never seen it go above 8, which puts it below movies that came out years ago and so on. I don't imagine Prime sees it as a flop but I do wonder if they see it as a real success.My suspicion is he is not going to make the YouTube/TV transition, in the longer term. I mean his problem is, he's a fundamentally uncharismatic, charmless, dead-eyed guy (so dead-eyed, I'm sorry it's actually weird, I assume its an affectation/acting because I know plenty of people with autism or other neurodiverse conditions and none of them have "dead eyes" - I've never met anyone IRL who did that or even seen anyone else on YouTube who did, only seen it in actors playing characters) and just a bit of a creep and not in a fun/sexy way (which You shows one can be, at least on TV). On YouTube his success isn't because of him at all, it's because of the particular nature of the stunts he pulls and his largely child-based audience (apparently his absolute most core audience is 11-12 year olds).Notably too his views on his videos have really fallen off over the last year or so, despite his 300m subscribers, and are continuing to overall decrease (he started work on this show before that happened).Also not sure why you use the word "buy", because that's not what's going on - subscribing to a YouTube channel doesn't require paying (that's "Joining" which is an entirely different thing which 99.9% of channels don't have).</blockquote>
