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 Forced My Crush To Go Squishy Hunting!

One upload, plenty of chatter. Lily, who also answers to Zoey (her about page says she goes by both), posted just a single Short this week: "I Forced My Crush To Go Squishy Hunting!" Her friend and frequent co-star Nico Polo, of Nico and Cash, gets dragged along on the hunt. It drew close to 150,000 views on its first day and is past 350,000 now.

The squishies are not what people want to talk about, though. The word "crush" in the title set the comments off. Several viewers note that Nico uses the same word in his own video titles, and a good share of the thread is just people cheering that she "finally said it." Others use the space to say they missed the pair, or to congratulate Lily on crossing 500,000 subscribers.

That milestone is the real news of the week. About 8,000 new subscribers arrived, and the channel now sits just above half a million. Views ran a little below her usual pace, but the week still came to around a million. Among similar-sized vlog channels, only Evelyn Ha gained more views, and quiet weeks for Milissa Grande and Maya Lee made Lily's look busier still.

The back catalog keeps working too. "Our SUMMER MORNING ROUTINE in Italy!" has passed a million views two months after it went up. "Nico Is SICK And Needs HELP!", from early summer, is approaching three million.
