Video of a Vlogger Doing Nothing for 2 Hours Easily Got 1.6 Million Views

While other vloggers are working their butts off trying to produce quality content...

The viral video, which was two hours long, showed Sobat inside a room, sitting beside the bed.
He shifted his position from time to time, but nothing else happened.
Other YouTubers followed suit and posted videos of themselves trying to do what Sobat Miskin did.

Vloggers and other content creators are working their butts off trying to produce quality content, because great videos earn lots of views and the more views you have, the more you will earn. Simple.

But Indonesian vlogger Sobat Miskin has beat the system, it seems. He got at least 900,000 views for of him doing nothing. As in NOTHING.

Dude just looked straight into the camera and…that’s it.

The video was uploaded via the YouTube channel Sobat Miskin Official. The video, which was two hours long, showed Sobat inside a room, sitting beside the bed.

If you’re the one watching the video, you will think that something interesting will happen as the scene progresses after 15 minutes or so, perhaps? But no…the entire two hours just consisted of the dude staring at the camera. He shifted his position from time to time, but nothing else happened.

Despite this guy doing nothing, the video garnered thousands of views. If you’re a vlogger constantly wringing your brains out trying to come up with quality content, you will probably have one of these two reactions: rage because this guy managed to earn while you had to bend backwards to get viewers OR admiration because he managed to beat the system.

The funniest thing here is that other YouTubers followed suit and posted videos of themselves trying to do what Sobat Miskin did.

YouTuber D&L Chain did it for one hour…

While Uroroy TV tried it for three hours.

But why would a viewer patiently watch a video of someone doing nothing? It all boils down to curiosity. If you haven’t heard of the video before, you will wait for something to happen as things transpire. If you have heard about it, you may watch it just out of plain curiosity.

After all, all it takes is a click. But it’s those clicks that earned Sobat Miskin Official almost a million views, which means “ka-ching!” in terms of YouTube earnings.
