Video taking off 10x its usual first day

Louis takes the KSI deal, and viewers ask what KSI is doing in Outside

A clip from the Sidemen's Netflix show ran ahead of four other shorts the channel posted the same day, including the trailer for the series final.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 36,081 views a day, 10 times a normal first day on this channel (3,540).

LOUIS TAKES KSI DEALLOUIS TAKES KSI DEAL

One deal did it. "LOUIS TAKES KSI DEAL" is a short clip from Outside, the Sidemen's series on Netflix, and in about fifteen hours it passed 28,000 views. A new short on Sidemen Productions, the channel the show calls its home on YouTube, usually finishes its whole first day near 3,500.

The title gives only the outline: someone named simply as Louis accepts a deal from KSI. The description adds nothing beyond where to watch the show, so the clip keeps whatever the deal was for the series itself.

It went up on a busy Sunday. The channel also posted the official trailer for the seventh and final episode, twice under the same title, along with a scam call for someone named Harry, a song credited to Lacy and a fifth round of unseen bits with Uncle Roger, Nigel Ng's comedy character. The Uncle Roger clip came closest. The deal moved fastest.

It also drew the talk. Comments on this channel's shorts usually stay close to empty on the first day, and this one has a couple of dozen. Most of them are about KSI himself: some viewers ask when the scene was filmed and why he is there at all, and others wonder why so many replies are hard on him. For a founding Sidemen member, he is getting a lot of questions about showing up on the group's own show.
