Comedian Jalang'o has achieved a significant milestone on YouTube, reaching 400,000 subscribers. This achievement is a testament to his growing popularity and the success of his YouTube show.
On July 1, 2021, Jalang'o took to social media to celebrate this achievement, posting on Instagram, "We did it! 400k subscribers!! Thank You!"
According to Pulse Live, Jalang'o's YouTube channel has garnered 34,419,100 views and counting. While views are an indication of a channel's popularity, subscribers prove that the channel's popularity is not incidental.
With an increase in subscribers, YouTube automatically promotes the channel's video to more people. Active subscribers also pave a way for viewers to be alerted when a new video is uploaded.
YouTube ranks videos on a metric called dwell time, which is the hours of video consumed by viewers. The higher the dwell time when a video is fresh, the more likely YouTube is to share it with similar users.
