We Trained a Skinny Guy for 100 Days, Here’s What Changed

HTX Studio added roughly 40,000 subscribers without posting a single new upload, leaving the team just short of three million. For a channel built around elaborate projects, this was a week when the existing inventions could take their turn.

The most active uploads make an eclectic trio. "We Trained a Skinny Guy for 100 Days, Here's What Changed" is drawing the largest daily audience, followed by "We Built a Dancing Food Locker..." and September's "We Built the Product Apple Gave Up On..." That last project has passed ten million views and is the channel's most-watched regular video.

The Hangzhou team's shelf stretches well beyond gadgets with a practical purpose: there's a piano designed to make music visible, alongside longer-running investigations into phone charging and battery wear. The food locker fits comfortably into that mix of experiments and playful engineering.

Daily viewing is below the channel's usual level, even as subscribers increased over the week. Nearby in the tech neighborhood, The Verge is enjoying elevated daily viewing, while Salem Techsperts is close to its usual pace. HTX's upload break nevertheless brought more than eight million views to its catalog.
