Rako's million-subscriber goal gets closer, along with a stone angel
The animated-story channel added more than 200,000 subscribers in a week, while its stone-angel Short made an unusually fast start.
Why this story? The channel went from 689,000 to 893,000 subscribers this week.
The Stone Angel MOVED Closer Every MORNING 😱
A stone angel that moves closer every morning is Rako's latest unsettling premise. It also gives the channel a different kind of threat beside its familiar last-second rescues: something that advances a little at a time.
Rako added about 204,000 subscribers over the past week, bringing it close to the million-subscriber goal spelled out in its channel description. The stone-angel Short, meanwhile, drew roughly 1.8 million views in its first seven hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for Shorts.
The surrounding stories range from a sister saving her brother from a candy witch to a grandmother throwing coins into a plane engine. These are dramatized animations, not documentary accounts. Rako says some stories take inspiration from real events and others are invented, with scripts, animation, voiceovers and sound built for each upload.
The candy-witch story and a farm-treasure tale also passed a million views apiece. Rescues remain part of Rako's repertoire, but this batch makes room for creeping horror, unlikely discoveries and a very alarming airport premise.
