Which of the big let's players on YouTube do you predict will be the first to quit doing YouTube (for whatever the reason)? Will it be PewDiePie? Markiplier? Who?
I'm a newbie to the Let's Play group. However, judging by the fact that you did not mention one of the character's names, (being as though there are 3 of them), I would have to admit that the answer to this question seems a bit obvious. I could be wrong though!
Also, having taken a look at this group's YouTube channels, also helps to support this thesis.
Beginning with Markiplier: Markiplier having joined YouTube since 2012, has 17,652,613 subscribers. Throughout this time, his channel has raised a charity amount of $1,118,645.14. In my opinion, this alone shows his status of both popularity and respect.
Next runner up is that of JackSepticEye. JackSepticEye having joined since 2007, has 15,772,269 subscribers. His channel hasn't raised any charity of any kind. Reading the comments of those on his fellow roomies channels, he doesn't seem to be the most talked about. PewdiePie and Markiplier seem to take the spotlight.
Last but not least is PewdiePie. PewdiePie having joined since 2010, has a number of 55, 699,231 subscribers. There's no charity on his end either, yet with the most subscribers and possibly the most videos, he seems to be the most popular out of the trio.
Although, it is clear to see that JackSepticEye may be the weaker link on YouTube, it doesn't quite make it a fact that he will just up and quit YouTube!
PewdiePie has a great following yet he may just be the one to quit first if any.
What makes you feel as though one of the group's members will quit YouTube?
