Markiplier

like really shitty about not being able to give back all the time, but I knew I could trust my fan base and I am glad that they think that they can trust me.

a new one yeah it's really tricky and it's definitely this is not going to make any any movie executives or studio executives comfortable in that a lot of time those numbers aren't real right i'm not just saying in terms of bots but it's like those a lot of social media people and i've even seen in some articles where like markiplier is 70 something million total followers across all social media and it's like that's not the real number yeah you can't add them up because it's the same yeah

So it's the same people from the most subscribed thing.

Mine's YouTube, 38 million.

There's never going to be more than 38 million followers on any of those other platforms, even if you add them all up.

And the other facet is a lot of people just, they follow people casually.

They follow because this was a funny video.

I want to see more of those funny videos.

I don't want to see anything else from that person ever, forever.

I don't care.

And that they're valid.

That's fine.

Some people probably do that for me as well.

And that's totally fine.

I think that that's how people should consume the internet.

They should curate the experience and try to get in their way.

But because of the way that I've made my YouTube channel so much about me,

In a truly egotistical way, I've made it about my journey and my experiences and try to relate as personally as I can when it's one person talking to 38 million.

I try to be as real as I can and I try to showcase my struggles and my growth and my failures many times.

And it's an impossible thing.
