As SpaceX's C212 (Crew Dragon Freedom) was phasing its way towards an ISS rendezvous earlier today (their 20th human space mission, and NASA's first ever Friday-the-13th human launch), they also passed a very different milestone. A video by "Mr Beast" in which he visited Starbase (among other things) exceeded 100,000,000 views on You Tube.

You Tube channel subscriber counts:

467M - @MrBeast
006.82M - @SpaceX

You might be tempted to see this as representative of the dumbing down of society, but to be fair, many of the former might have just been tempted by some subscriber giveaways. Perhaps space channel subscribers are a bit more committed? E.g. the SN10 live stream has 15M views.

Well, it's not like SpaceX have put much effort into their YouTube channel recently, right? They don't even stream the launches there anymore!
