What If They Never Met?
Jordan Matter's high-school experiment has found a substantial audience. "What If They Never Met?" has passed 15 million views, and viewers are already asking for enough follow-ups to fill a series.
This is a scripted show, not a record of school life: Salish and Nidal play versions of themselves who meet for the first time in high school. Matter credits Dhar Mann as a stylistic inspiration, with Sliding Doors and yoangelolo helping inspire the concept. The description says the production was written and filmed in just five days, with Rohan Thompson as head writer and director and Matter sharing writing and directing duties.
The comments have become a little discussion of the filmmaking itself. Viewers wonder how often the cast broke character, compare the format to Dhar Mann's stories and recognize Matter's familiar introduction about his daughter. That familiar voice gives this change of format a connection to the channel's usual world.
The show was the most watched of three new uploads, alongside "Surprising Strangers With Front Row Seats #shorts" and "What if Salish & Nidal never met?" It also carries the most daily momentum across the channel. Behind it, "This Board Game Gets WORSE Every Turn" and the rare glitter dumpling hunt remain active draws.
Matter added about 100,000 subscribers over the week. Daily viewing is currently well below its usual pace, though the week's total sits close to Jesser's, with Stay Wild also having a substantial viewing week. For Matter, the notable addition is a new kind of production sitting alongside the giant games and toy hunts.
