Building an audience on Youtube must be harder than it looks. The U.S. Secret Service only has 36k subscribers. Their videos are short, usually a minute or two, but interesting.
An Asian girl eating a bowl of soup can get 4 million subscribers on Youtube.
Federal Charges Filed Against Suspect in KXTV/ABC 10 Shooting
A guy shoots up a TV station in front of several witnesses, gets arrested, and is out on bail the next day. Nobody thinks that gun control is going to help.
Disney stars Mark Ruffalo, Pedro Pascal speak out to support Jimmy Kimmel
Celebrities boycott Disney in response to ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel. Perhaps we aren’t so different.
I’ve been watching Shoe0nHead videos for five or six years. She only puts out a video every month or so, but she is smart, interesting and has a completely different perspective. She’s got to be good to post a video that infrequently, and still have 2 million subscribers.

Whatever can happen, will happen, if you wait long enough.
That is an operating principle in modern physics. There is a 1 in 6000 chance that a nickel dropped on to a table top, will rest on the edge of the coin. If you dropped a nickel every 10 seconds, within 17 hours, you’d expect a nickel to land on the edge. It’s a very unlikely event, but it will happen.
Where do you get your news? Anyone relying on NPR, New York Times or CNN, isn’t informed, but managed and manipulated.
