Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

OLDER BROTHERS = GAY!?!?

Which brother does it mean? AsapSCIENCE's new Short, "OLDER BROTHERS = GAY!?!?", has viewers pointing out a distinction: the explanation concerns younger sons who have older brothers, rather than the older brothers themselves.

The host opens with that relationship, then uses marker drawings to introduce the fraternal birth order effect. The Short describes increased odds of a younger brother being gay with each additional older brother and presents a maternal immune-response hypothesis involving proteins associated with male fetuses. It closes with kin selection as a possible evolutionary explanation. Alongside the title corrections, viewers ask for the studies and more detail about the biology.

That was the channel's sole new upload, reaching roughly 46,000 views. The broader catalog added about 2.6 million views over seven days, while subscribers remained unchanged. Daily viewing is currently well below its usual pace.

The busiest individual upload is September's "Nobody has EVER seen an El Niño like this", written, animated and edited by Mitchell Moffit. Gregory Brown's "The Truth About Bisexuality", posted just before this week's window, is also drawing substantial daily viewing. Together, those explainers give the channel's week two very different scales: Pacific weather patterns and the biological questions behind human sexuality.

What viewers say

You got your title backwards! Shouldn't it be younger brothers, not older ones, based on your video?
