Mom Wanted To Know Why She Was Mad
Next story: John's Journals adds 76 million views in a day
John's Journals posted a pickup conversation with a very definite answer. In "Mom Wanted To Know Why She Was Mad", a mother asks her daughter why she is upset, whether she knows why, and whether she is excited to have been picked up. Each question gets a firm no. Asked who she wanted instead, the girl finally supplies a name: Grandma.
The home-video edit drew about 35,000 views, making it the most watched of the channel's six new uploads. John's Journals shares edited clips of other people's footage; this week's selection also included a magician approaching strangers, an ill-timed phone call and a husband returning from the store.
Away from the new posts, "She Didn't Expect This Joke From Her Boy" carries the most momentum. The older clip has passed two million views and is adding substantially more each day than any of the week's uploads.
After the enormous view jump we reported here, daily channel views are now far below their usual level. The week's overall view gain nevertheless remains the largest among the nearby clips channels, while RoyalGuard Pulse is having a stronger-than-usual viewing day and MRMC is quieter. John's Journals' subscriber total stayed unchanged over the week, at 122,000.
