John Nellis's Reading FC lung test passes ten million views
A free-ticket experiment joins the lineup as his football side quests bring another week of subscriber growth.
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.
I Tested Footballer’s Lungs
John Nellis goes first, and the device gives him an almost suspiciously tidy result: his displayed "lung age" matches his actual age. Then Reading FC's players take their turns, each getting a younger reading from the handheld tester.
"I Tested Footballer's Lungs" has now passed ten million views, making it the most watched of his two uploads this week. The fun is in the quick reveal after each forceful breath, with actual ages and device results lined up across the screen. One viewer wants the experiment extended to Premier League players; another points out their own Reading allegiance.
The new arrival since that test is "Free Football Ticket Experiment," which has already drawn a substantial audience of its own. Those two uploads are currently the channel's busiest videos, followed by the older "How Many Pumps to Explode a Football?" Nellis has found several ways to make air part of a football side quest.
The channel added roughly 100,000 subscribers over seven days. Its current daily viewing pace is much slower than usual, though, running at about a quarter of its typical level. That makes this a growing audience with a quieter finish to the week, rather than another across-the-board surge.
Among nearby football creators, Futcrunch also had a substantial week of viewing, while Sidemen and Miniminter recorded no subscriber gain. For Nellis, the freshest addition is the ticket experiment, already gathering views close to the daily pace of the Reading test.
