So we’ve discussed Markiplier’s fanbase and how insane it can be, but 37 million views don’t lie: he’s well known on Youtube, just recently celebrating his 9 million subscriber landmark. It’s natural to him, and it’s easy to listen to. Any awkwardness that comes from talking to no one has long since passed. Tired or not, you find yourself invested because his voice has some sort of quality to it that he can reel you in with. Sure, it’s edited for time and it does take him hours, but it is still entertaining. And the sleep deprived user who posted that video certainly doesn’t: take a moment to watch Markiplier’s video. They don’t truly need talent in voice acting, as anyone who remembers the early 2000’s can attest to, but they do need personality. He’s playing a popular game, by all means being the world’s first must mean he deserves more views, so where are they? The fact is, this live streamer, and many hobbyist Let’s Players just don’t have the voice acting talent needed to earn views.

You’ll find a guy who poured hours upon hours livestreaming the game, and yet his views don’t even crack the one million mark. Take a moment to do some real researching and find the official first person to complete FNAF’s 20/20/20/20 mode. This might seem like an inane detail, but it’s not. Many Youtubers could simply gloss over this, if they did do the whole game, but Markiplier does look up the lore (which inspires his viewers to do the same), and does complete the game.Īnd rightfully so: Markiplier usually completes games that are of quality, story-based, or just peak curiosity which is more than can be said for some youtubers who reserve FNAF and other worthy games of just One-Offs and hardly touch upon the actual story. What’s more, FNAF actually had a story that viewers could figure out hidden amongst the jumpscares. However, unlike FNAF’s horror meme predecessor, Slender, viewers could come back to the game to watch Youtubers complete it.
FNAF’s popularity did not come from watching Youtubers braving through the game with skill and perseverance, but with girly screaming and the primal fear of being trapped like a prey animal. Very few Youtubers complete all five nights + the sixth night + 20/20/20/20 mode. Most of the aforementioned reaction videos take place with the first game, or only within the first five nights of each game. In his interviews, we see just how awful Cawthon’s life was, presumably before he was swimming in the money based off of the nightmares of any child growing up in the 1980’s – and he owes this to the Ohioan in the flannel shirt and his fanbase that is better than any Crowdfunding could ever hope to be.īy now you probably see a flaw in my logic: how is a game popular before a Youtuber chooses to upload a video of themselves playing it? Well, the answer is simple, my uneducated students. Warning: Some of that is probably Not Safe for Work.Ĭawthon has made a lot off of these games, which is surprising, seeing as Cawthon himself has admitted FNAF was his last ditch effort at making a career through game making. If numbers don’t prove it to you, surely the amount of fanart will. And certainly it is, as far as Markiplier is concerned. Sure, a more popular game means there is more money for the Youtuber themselves to make – if their fanbase is big enough. But this cycle can’t just happen: a youtuber takes a risk in playing a popular game. Those people then decide to buy the game, and 37 million people buying a 5 dollar game adds up fast. Those views mean more than simple popularity: you can bet a good percentage of people watching Markiplier, or any other Youtuber, use them as beta-testers to see if the game is worth buying. One could watch all of Markiplier’s videos and not realize how much of a chance FNAF had of not happening. More people chose that video to watch than any other, and, according to Youtube, that’s probably what you’ll choose, too.
and need the screams to power your city, but it is the people’s choice.

The first result isn’t the most informative when it comes to the series itself, unless you’re from Monster’s Inc. That’s more than some countries’ populations in Europe, though probably less than the amount of money Scott Cawthon made on these games.
I bet your first result isn’t one of the trailers, nor is it one of the poorly researched theories, but instead the first video of Markiplier’s descent into madness.Īlthough I was taught never to click the first result you find when researching on Google, the public must not have received this memo, because as of this date Markiplier’s first FNAF video has 37 million views. Go ahead and go on YouTube and search for ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’, I’ll wait.
