Thanks for the detailed explanation! Gives me something to think about; I didn't watch his entire journey, I think he started here around the same time I did but, like you said, he brought along a lot of his subs.
I didn't have a YouTube channel (I do now, as I wanted to post garden videos here), nor followers to bring here -- but, I did invest into my account to the tune of around 15 BTC. So it could be said that I'm "doing it wrong" as well. I had wanted to "grow my account organically" but then decided to jump in head first. :) Anyway, take care!
Always a pleasure to talk with you! Enjoy your family time... !
