Are you actually Irish

[@jkrx.minievo8063]

Paddy Galloway nah

[@chrizzatsu]

KSI his character is also special. not anyone is like him and thats make him so famous

[@chrizzatsu]

@Martin Malosi Jnr that is so true. Even here in Germany, everyone is talking about him. It´s so interesting and funny to watch him

[@Wanbeleid]

His character is his niche

[@jonneapina6559]

I had a stroke reading that

[@Feynvel]

Yeah, you don't need a niche when your audience is there for you, not the subject of the video.

[@kyanhendrix3826]

Bro here in Canada everyone luv ksi and everyone kno' KSI everyone talk 'bout him in high school

[@yasuof3291]

KSI has put himself in a position where his fans connect to him for him, without being boring as I see too many youtubers making way too many “serious” videos in order to make an emotional connection with the audience but it just gets boring and people stop watching whereas KSI also has gradual moments where he makes fans realise he cares for them while still being the funny comedic guy he is

[@namkookie2.027]

Facts

[@Stephh99]

Yeah I agree, he keeps a ‘small audience’ feel while maintaining a massive following. A lot of the bigger youtubers feel like celebrities, where they’re fake and unreachable. Props to KSI for doing all he does to connect with his viewers

So true. I think KZbin is relevant in the UK and still popping in the UK because of KSI. He works really hard, on the grind always as usual. Sorry trying to be a fan boy or anything like that hehe.

Yup, it was the sidemen drama that opened my eyes to uk content and then the first Logan Paul fight that made me an avid fan of uk KZbin. Now sidemen and KSI are my favorites. (American)

[@Billy2011C]

KSI has learnt to be a clever businessman. He also comes across as humble as he was when he started.

[@vectorodyssey4702]

KSI being British holds his popularity back. If he was American, he would have twice as many subs than Logan

Oh no we don't need a another James Corden

Another big factor is his character. He doesn’t care what others think or say he’s just doing him n he does it

[@humblehistory141]

I hope KSI knows how much joy and inspiration he has brought into so many of our lives. One of the greatest to ever do it. Over 30 million subs combined and still underrated! Thank you for making this video. It had a lot valuable lessons!

5:53 KSI's main channel is gaining 100k subs a month not 30k. Still nowhere near his second channel though but that's coz he barely uploads on his main channel now.

I’m not a massive fan of ksi, but even I can’t deny that he’s a top 5 KZbinr of all time. Definitely the youtuber with the strongest understanding of how this platform works. Unlike so many people on this platform, this man is simply a born entertainer.

[@sub_zero8495]

@Foadjemal Hassen the only people who hate him are jake paul's fans even logan's fans are ksi's fans aswell

[@padmeamidala741]

@@sub_zero8495 Yea true. Logan fanbase matured too. Henceforth there is alot of connection between KSI fans and Logan fans.

[@padmeamidala741]

Exactly. JJ has built the best fanbase on Influencer platform ever. His fanbase stays so connected and close to him like they are not his followers but like his friends who he meets everyday, talks to everyday, makes content for eveyday and I think that's one of the main reasons for his success.

[@steveog9966]

People will watch whatever he puts up cause they know no matter what the level of entertainment is still gonna be there. Thats the difference between him and a majority of other youtubers. Most youtubers rely on the content to get popular cause they themselves aren't that entertaining. KSI IS the content of his channel. I don't think it ever mattered what type of videos he made once he started getting some eyes.

[@mmmnef_3692]

I am actually watching ksi since 2011,so this video is true.good job

[@chizi7456]

[@SalamKhan-nr2em]

He realised that by allowing people to make fun of him, he gives them some closure. Same way he also messes around with his fans. Tbh his fans play a major role in keeping his ego incheck.

[@TheAmpFam]

[@WatcherofVideosSometimes]

KSI put a lot of effort into his early content which was consistently innovative and original, combined with having a natural aura of charisma and eventually branching out into boxing and rap.
