INSIDE a Nuclear Reactor Core - Smarter Every Day 317
SmarterEveryDay posted one video, and it went straight to the middle of things: "INSIDE a Nuclear Reactor Core - Smarter Every Day 317". About a day after upload it had already passed half a million views, and it is gathering them at a pace that leaves everything else on the channel far behind.
What makes the week tidy is the video in second place. "Refueling a NUCLEAR REACTOR - Smarter Every Day 311" went up nearly eleven months ago and is still drawing a steady daily crowd, just ahead of the Pompeii episode that came right before it. Two reactor videos, six episodes apart, now sit at the top of the channel's momentum list. Perhaps the new one sends some viewers back to the first?
Among the science and experiment channels, SmarterEveryDay sits third of nine by subscribers, behind Veritasium and The Slow Mo Guys and a short step above NileRed and AsapSCIENCE. With the new episode, the channel's story right now runs straight through the reactor.
