I still don't understand how Brandon isn't bigger, not that he has a small follower count, I just personally feel that he deserves WAY more subscribers, I mean the dude covers way more than most youtubers and then on top of that he's never biased in any video, he's always there to get the real perspectives of people. If you ask me Brandon has the best interviews on the internet hands down.

@bigpandasmith4483 7 ай бұрын

I agree with your point. To me it seems like KZfaq's policies regarding 18+ content are affecting Brandon's growth. However, it's good to know that he values his core audience and is determined to keep them engaged. Building a loyal fanbase takes time, but it's definitely worth it in the long run.

@dtreezy 7 ай бұрын

He does sanitize his content

@ragnnohab 7 ай бұрын

That's pretty much it, he shows people to be people instead of taking cheap shots like trying to portray Juggalos as Trump worshipping meth heads so redditors can use the video to get on the front page for a few hours.
