It might be the videos shared on WhatsApp, TikTok, Youtube, then the Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hotstar consumption.

We were deprived for the longest, being offered a gigabyte for a month for $5 - $10, and now we have practically free mobile connectivity with data.



> Netflix, Amazon Prime

Very few subscribe. Youtube would be the majority in my opinion. Hotstar too, but only during cricket matches.

Local content on Youtube is on the rise.

Example:

Technical Guruji (A Hindi tech channel) has way more subscribers than MKBHD - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOhHO2ICt0ti9KAh-QHvttQ

A Punjabi song is nearing a billion views : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpkJO_GrCo0

It is a largely untapped market and ripe for takeover.


> Technical Guruji (A Hindi tech channel) has way more subscribers than MKBHD

From looking over it, he has more subscribers but way less views per video.

MKBHD is easily over 2M views per video where Guruji never really breaches 1M views and seems to be around 400K per video.


The gap is closing real fast (views in the last 30 days)

MKBHD - 39 Million[0]

Technical Guruji - 41.5 Million[1]

Wow. That's insane! And still Technical Guruji doesn't get as favorable treatment from Google as MKBHD does (like giving phones one month before release to try, calling him in all conferences etc.)


MKBHD's audience has more money to spend.

Have you actually seen Leila or are you simply parroting nonsense you heard from Twitter trolls?

> in-fact they have little religious freedom in their own nation.

Please tell me how on earth does America have little religious freedom?


> being offered a gigabyte for a month for $5 - $10

a gigabyte per day per month at the very least. some plans (see other comments) offer 1.5GB per day for 91 days at the same overall cost of $5-$10.
