They have nearly 300m people there. If 10 million of those people each watch 7 clips, that's 70m views. Or 1m people each watch 70 clips, that's 70m views. With TikTok and KZbin format being short, it's not hard to get sucked in and scroll thru 10-20-50 shorts of people getting slapped. The numbers aren't that crazy in perspective of modern day internet and view counts. 70m short format views are a lot different than 70m long format views. As far as ad revenue goes. The longer the video, the more engaging and engagement, the more ads are viewed, clicked on and sold. If the numbers don't pan out in the end, we will see the end of slap. Dana is not going to run a business that burns money indefinitely, he will cut his losses somewhere. It doesn't sound like that's coming soon tho
