Danny Rayes' channel usually brings in several times more views a day than it managed this week. Overall it ran at roughly a quarter of its normal pace, even though he kept posting at his usual clip: fifteen uploads, most of them titled with a crying or wide-eyed emoji.
The standout is "Devastating Fortnite Competition 😭," posted Monday. It passed a million views about a day later and is still gathering them faster than anything else on the channel. "Bro Can't Stop Sleeping 😳" went up the same day and is moving briskly too.
Fast food was a running theme. "What Happened To McDonalds 😳" and "Chick-fil-A Has Lost It 😭" both had solid first days before settling down, as did "Most Wholesome Video Ever 😭" and "Who Is This Guy 😭." His subscriber count held steady.
The softer week was shared across the comedy sketch channels around him. Nisha Noelle and Matt Storer drew the biggest daily crowds and still ran below their own usual levels. Jake Rasmussen came closest to his normal day, while Alicia Sicz had an unusually quiet one.
