A dance-floor 'bad boy' keeps The Department of Information moving
The older street interview "50/50" supplies the channel's busiest viewing during a week without new uploads.
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.
50/50
He has the dance moves, but the bad-boy credentials come with a qualification. Asked whether he fits the label, the man in The Department of Information's "50/50" settles on half and half: he would never hurt anyone. His bad-boy territory is strictly the dance floor, and he returns to demonstrating it.
That brief street encounter is the channel's busiest upload right now. Gryffin, Louis and Noah posted nothing new this week, yet their existing collection added about 126,000 views and the channel gained roughly 1,000 subscribers.
There is a more serious documentary alongside the dancing. "Life in the Mongrel Mob" is another active draw, built around an interview with a member in Rotorua and filmed by Zoann Huang and Nelson Cook. "Big E at Waitangi" also continues to attract views, though at a much gentler daily pace.
Viewing across the channel is currently running at around half its usual daily level. Among nearby channels, Jaku had a particularly busy viewing week, while HelloGreedo was quieter. For The Department of Information, an empty release schedule has left room for a small street-interview distinction: looking a little dangerous is one thing; dancing enthusiastically is quite another.
