Dark web marketplaces, separated from fiction, carry Farrell McGuire's pause
His 81-day-old documentary on what is really for sale in the internet's hidden corners has passed 2.3 million views, with no new upload since.
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.
Horrors Found in Dark Web Marketplaces
"Horrors Found in Dark Web Marketplaces" is Farrell McGuire's look at the internet's supposed black market, the place where, as the legend goes, anything can be bought for the right price. The description sets out the job plainly: sort the truth from the trope. Posted 81 days ago, it is still the busiest video on his channel.
Nothing new went up this week, so the back catalog did the work, and it is a catalog with a clear house style. Right behind the dark web video sits "Horrors on Israel's Internet," the latest stop in what Farrell calls an international horror series, and the country viewers asked for most, according to its description. Then comes "Horrors on Grindr," twelve days old, on the dating app the description calls the world's most infamous "alternative" one. Each of the three is drawing tens of thousands of views a day.
The channel overall ran slower than usual without a fresh upload, though subscribers kept arriving at close to a thousand a day.
That slowdown is common among the reaction and commentary channels near his size: KSI+, Arthur Frederick and El Michelle are all below their usual pace too. The exception is Kat Blaque, running well above hers. Among those neighbors, Farrell's daily views stay near the top, second only to El Michelle.
