A trophy for the last man standing, and 100,000 new subscribers for Stay Wild
The challenge channel's views held at their usual pace while its subscriber count jumped in a single day, after a week of water balloons, voice guessing and rock paper scissors.
Stay WildStory of Why this story? The channel is adding 100,030 subscribers a day, 15 times a normal day (6,563).
"Last Man Standing Wins 🏆" is the clear leader of Stay Wild's newest uploads. The trophy in the title has drawn more than eight million views since it went up on October 1, and nothing else the channel posted since late September comes close.
The bigger news sits in the subscriber count. In one day the channel added about 100,000 subscribers, on a channel where a typical day brings in a few thousand, and it now stands at 25.7 million. That single day accounts for roughly half of the week's subscriber gain. The views did not jump with it: the channel's daily views are running right at their usual level, which on a channel this size is already enormous. More people did not suddenly watch, but more of those who did chose to stay. Did a winner-takes-all challenge turn casual viewers into regulars? Perhaps.
The rest of the week was a run of quick games. "Sing or Get Water Ballooned 🤣" opened it, "Guess The YouTuber By Their Voice 🎤" is the second most watched of the batch, and "Rock Paper Scissors ✂️" followed. The tags on these videos name Ben Azelart and Cam Huff, and they also point to a wider family of Stay Wild channels: Vlogs, Reacts and Gaming.
In late September the stakes were a trampoline park and a row of doors. This week's newest upload, "Don't Pop The Red Balloon 🎈", asks for less and is only getting started.
