The YouTube groupings (which are based on subscribers) are a little different:

- 100,000 Subscribers (Silver)

- 1,000,000 Subscribers (Gold)

- 10,000,000 Subscribers (Diamond)

- 100,000,000 Subscribers (Red Diamond)

My main YouTube channel is nowhere nearest the lowest level with only 1,720
I have many channels though: about 13: I think but it used to be a good strategy but the search algorisms have changed.

I think the mega influencers would need to use a paid marketing campaign to get that large the way the large Youtube channels have. You need to spend some considerable cash these days to get a Youtube channel up to that size with legitimate followers.

or maybe just have a message that is popular with the audience. it's astounding how obtuse you are on a subject that you think you might have an impact on.

I am afraid you are wrong my brother works in media: he is a professor and knowing this stuff is part of his job: and the YouTube Channels have huge marketing budgets to get that way these days. I market online if that is all an influencer is there are many of them. Would you think Netflix didn't have a marketing budget? Or a huge film release so why a YouTube channel if its big enough or wants to be. I know it makes a nice story someone building it up with the sweat of their brow but mostly they use a budget. It is no different from how its always been you need someone powerful pushing someone to really see them become famous. That is why people always looked for a big break because then they would have someone powerful behind them. If you think that is wrong you can disagree but I am sure it was somehow covered in an Open University course in business years ago.

You said that mega influencers "would need to use a paid marketing campaign to get that large".

That is simply and provably wrong. Ask your brother. There are models, moms, athletes and teenagers who have gathered 1 million+ followers on multiple platforms strictly by their own postings. it's not even that rare anymore.

Here's a hint. When you are asking for information on a topic in one message, don't come back in your following message with an emphatic statement like you had some insight or authority that is utter bullshit.

Just like most of Simon's other posts, it's not a real question or topic, but a backhanded way for him to 'brag' about his self proclaimed 'accomplishments', 'status', and 'greatness' because he's an author... etc, etc, etc.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Simon is as much of an "influencer" as I am an astronaut.
