Tom Scott's tiddlywinks challenge nears a million views in a week
His only new upload is moving well ahead of the tank engine and the badly flown plane that came before it.
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.
Can I get into the Top 100 of tiddlywinks in one day?
Can a person reach the Top 100 of tiddlywinks in a single day? Tom Scott put the question in a title on September 21, and a week later that video sits just shy of a million views. It was his one upload of the week, and it is still his busiest by a clear margin, drawing views at more than twice the pace of anything else on the channel.
Behind it, the two earlier videos are easing off in order of age. "Thomas, a tank engine, is not Thomas the Tank Engine." is two weeks old and still steady. "Flying a plane badly, on purpose." is a week older and quieter, though both have passed the mark the tiddlywinks video is now approaching.
Across the whole channel, daily views are running right at their usual level, with the subscriber count holding still. Among explainer and education channels, Tom Scott sits fifth by subscribers, level with Simplilearn. Extra History is the busiest of the group by daily views, while Wendover Productions keeps a calmer pace.
