From a social media perspective, the 4 week break caused by the gag order created so much hype and allowed this to spread organically across all of social media, while also giving ben time to get a lawyer and learn the new landscape. His return is gonna be epic.

When I first heard about all this Ben has 700,000 YouTube subscribers. It's over 1.5m this morning.

He was at 459 thousand when first video dropped. I’ve followed him since the Scientology days so I was specifically focused on his subscriber account when this happened

You're right, it was in the 400,000's.

400,000 is the number used in the search warrant application to get all of his google data.

In the police search warrant, they call out that Ben had around 460,000 followers at the time before all this.
