'Who Can Hold On The LONGEST?' heads a prank-and-magic run on Zhong Clips
A challenge short posted on Sunday is the channel's quickest starter of the weekend, and the subscriber count has grown by more than a quarter in seven days.
Why this story? The channel went from 378,000 to 478,000 subscribers this week.
Zhong Clips now counts 478,000 subscribers, which places it in the middle of a tight cluster of clips and compilation channels: Robin shaw and Team Maguire sit just above, Juliet Ranks and WhatTheWeb just below. Of that group, Team Maguire is the one running well ahead of its usual daily views at the moment.
Zhong Clips got there by adding 100,000 subscribers since September 28. As we reported here, two days ago the seven-day count stood at 117,000, so the pace has eased only a little. Daily views, meanwhile, are running somewhat below the channel's usual level.
The new upload doing the most work is "Who Can Hold On The LONGEST?", posted on Sunday. It passed 190,000 views in its first 18 hours, several times what a new video here usually manages in a full day. A longer upload from the same day, "Testing 1,000 Myths! (Zhong Shorts Compilation)", has moved far more slowly, so the short challenge format is clearly the one finding viewers this time.
The days before carried a mix. "BEST PRANKS OF 2026!" gathered the pranks of Zhong's year into one video, "Guess Where I Am Hiding Or Else!" turned hide-and-seek into a game for the audience, and a magic short has Zhong, in his own description, using tricks to prank his friends. Pranks, puzzles and endurance: the weekend covered all three, and the endurance one moved fastest.
