Philip DeFranco's midterms video quietly edges ahead of Hasan Piker
All four of his uploads sit close to a million views, and the one that opened slowest in the facts is now the busiest.
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.
The Hasan Piker Netanyahu Situation is Crazy
Five days old, "Trump's Midterms Problem is Worse Than You Think" is now drawing views a touch faster than anything else on the channel. That includes the video posted a day after it.
That newer upload, "The Hasan Piker Netanyahu Situation is Crazy," had the loudest start of the week, close to 700,000 views on its first day. It is also the only one to pass a million so far. Since then it has settled into step with the midterms video, the two running almost side by side. The two earlier uploads, one on Clavicular and Mamdani and one on Logan Paul and Lauren Boebert, have eased off, though both are also near a million. Four videos, four totals clustered together: a tidy week for a channel that posts on a steady rhythm.
The channel's daily views are running right at their usual level. Among political commentators, DeFranco sits fourth by subscribers, and his daily pace lands almost level with Russell Brand's. The big mover in the group is MeidasTouch, which is drawing views at a rate far beyond anyone else listed.
