Trari - Under construction. Good things are taking shape.
Video taking off 11x its usual first day

Hawk's mystery 'they' pulls a quarter million in a day

The trial attorney's day-old commentary names no one in its title and says nothing in its description, and it still left his usual start far behind.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 584,002 views a day, 11 times a normal first day on this channel (52,328).

They hate each other and they hate usThey hate each other and they hate us

A new video from Hawk, the commentator also known as mdg650hawk, usually opens with a solid first day somewhere in the tens of thousands of views. "They hate each other and they hate us" is barely a day old and already past a quarter of a million, moving at about eleven times his normal start.

That is a big share of the channel's day for a single upload. Hawk's catalog is busy every day without any help, and this one video is carrying a noticeable part of that pace by itself.

What it is about stays unsaid. The title names no one, neither the "they" nor the "us", and the description holds only pointers to where viewers can support him. His about page fills in the man, if not the video. It describes a veteran licensed trial attorney who breaks down the news of the day and promises to challenge viewers whether they lean left or right. By the channel's own account, he is known as much for his infectious laugh as for his long, awkward silences.
