cosmicrookieMonthly subscribers to Charlie Kirks Turning Point
TheLunatickleAlmost like he was just another fringe extremist who’s death is being exploited for political and financial gain!
He had the ear of the president and his organization was responsible for the resurgence of the far right among young people in the United States. He was anything but fringe
Lol, you saw the numbers of subscribers. It was definitely fringe unless you think anyone with a couple of hundred thousand subscribers are mainstream influencers.
I mean there are teenagers doing makeup tutorials with more followers.
Assuming your comment is in good faith which is likely isn’t. The chart only shows back to 2023, toilet paper usa grew to prominence around the 2016 election. This chart also only shows new subscribers not their total number, an entrenched organization reaches market penetration and growth slows. Additionally this is a single platform being shown not the many arms of the proverbial octopus. Additionally additionally subscriber numbers matter far less these days than recommendation algorithms do, think of the innumerable number of short form TikTok videos people scroll by a day without further interaction that still impact their thoughts.
Looking at metrics of them making around $5k a month from YouTube shows they are not really competitive with other streamers. So I am still struggling to see the pedestal you have put them on.
You are correct though in the respect that they have a lot of subscribers (4+ mil). But that is not really translating into engagement.
As I stated before, if some random YouTuber making makeup tutorials are outpacing them in profit and beating their engagement it really does not seem they are some monolithic entity.
ZagorathYou could be very right. Also posters have also pointed out that total numbers of subscribers means very little. With the amount of bots who even knows if engagement is a good measure.
