Mark Rober's satisfying crunches come with TV nostalgia

4 Levels of Satisfying Crunches

What deserves a moment of silence in a video called "4 Levels of Satisfying Crunches"? For several of Mark Rober's viewers, it is the televisions. The comments dwell on retro sets and the loss of potential gaming screens, alongside jokes comparing the contraption to Dr. Doofenshmirtz's inventions in Phineas and Ferb.

That was Rober's only new upload this week, reaching about 836,000 views. The soccer balls get their own discussion, too, with viewers remarking on the sharp popping sounds. It is a smaller, sound-centered addition to a channel whose older engineering spectacles remain busy.

The most active of those is "Last Cheater Standing Wins $10,000," the CrunchLabs Casino gathering featuring Michael Reeves, Hank Green, Becky Stern, Allen Pan and other makers. It is drawing substantially more daily views than the new crunching upload. "I Discovered a Lost Plane" and "I Outsmarted Pro Car Thieves" also remain active months after publication.

Rober added roughly 300,000 subscribers over seven days, though daily channel viewing is currently less than half its usual pace. Elsewhere in science and experiments, Veritasium is drawing above its usual daily audience, while Vsauce is having a slower spell. Rober nevertheless recorded the largest weekly view gain among the peers with weekly totals available, with the casino challenge doing the most daily work among his highlighted uploads.
