Be Smart's 74-day-old HIV history still edges out the blinking video
The week's single upload, about the eye going dark every few seconds, is running just behind a July video that is closing in on four million views.
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.
You go blind every few seconds?!
Be Smart posted exactly one video, "You go blind every few seconds?!", and it opened briskly on Thursday before settling into a steadier rhythm. Four days in, it is still one of the busiest things on the channel.
It is not quite the busiest, though. That spot belongs to "How HIV Started a Century Before Anyone Noticed," which went up 74 days ago and is still drawing a touch more each day than the newcomer. Close to four million views, and it has not slowed enough to step aside. Behind both sits "This Weird Pattern Will Let Us Reshape Matter," two weeks old and past a million, moving at a gentler pace.
Overall, the channel ran right at its usual daily level, no rush and no dip. Among science channels, Be Smart sits in the middle by subscribers, just behind minutephysics, and draws more daily views than that neighbor. Cleo Abram is the one having an outsized run in the group, far ahead of everyone else listed. For Be Smart, a history of a virus is quietly outpacing a question about the eye.
