Korea's diabolical exam has upset the nation
What do Tibees viewers watch when Toby posts nothing new? Mostly Korea's college entrance exam. "Korea's diabolical exam has upset the nation" is 26 days old and has passed 200,000 views. It is still the video drawing the most daily viewers on a channel that, in Toby's own about text, covers physics, math, astronomy and the history of science.
The tags spell out the subject: the suneung, or CSAT, the one-day test that decides university places for hundreds of thousands of South Korean students each November. Planes are famously held back during the English listening section so the candidates can hear. Toby has a history with exams on camera, and "foreigner" in the tags suggests she sits down to try this one herself.
Behind it comes a gentler subject, "The cost of adding gold edges to a book," a little over a month old. Third is the newest, "The uncanny valley needs more dimensions," nine days old and still finding its audience.
With no upload, the channel ran a touch above its usual daily pace, and the subscriber count held steady. Among the science channels near its size, the loud week belongs to Chris Boden, whose daily views are close to double their usual level, and BBC Earth Science is running well ahead of its own norm too. Tibees, posting nothing, gained the fewest views of the group, and its older uploads kept it a little busier than normal anyway.
