Next story: John Nellis's "Control It, You Keep It" passes ten million
John Nellis didn't post a new video this week. His existing football side quests nevertheless brought in a substantial audience, with the channel adding 200,000 subscribers and more than 84 million views.
The busiest is "Which Football Will Bounce the Highest?", posted just before the week began. Nellis drops an assortment of balls from an elevated wall, with coloured height markers making the differences easy to follow. The giant inflatable makes a modest rebound; much smaller contenders prove considerably livelier. A standard football, an American football and a Gaelic football all get their turn before the yellow Moon Ball clears the wall altogether.
That test is drawing roughly three times the daily views of "How Many Pumps to Explode a Football?", an older experiment that remains another substantial source of viewing. "Pro Footballers Decide My FC 27 Rating" supplies a different kind of test, swapping ball behaviour for judgments about Nellis himself.
The subscriber audience is growing, although today's viewing pace is only about a third of the channel's usual daily level. Slower viewing days are also showing up across the nearby football-creator group, including Futcrunch, Miniminter and ChrisMD. For Nellis, a week without uploads has left plenty of room for the experiments already on the channel.
