[@placeholdername3206]

Most of the bigger channels are done by early-mid 20's guys, in a VLOG style. Seems more genuine and relateable. Audience is the same age. That's just what people want to look at today. Young people follow KZbinrs and watch Netflix. They dont watch flowtv. Motive Videos are filmed and edited like a TV-show. A way different vibe, and not as popular with the younger crowd which is the vast majority of people watching KZbin videos daily.
