Size of Chris's viewership? -

  • Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Looking into some solutions.

I discovered Chris only a few months ago and I've been going through the CWCki. I see that most of the mirrored videos on the library have view counts somewhere in the mid tens of thousands. I know Kimmi's ordeal got about over 2 million views but what sort of views did he pull in when he uploaded his youtube videos? If the underwear picture got viral enough for Nicole Richie to come across it, did the picture itself spread far more than awareness of its subject did?

Chris has a few thousand people who used to follow him a few years back. Now that he's been off the radar, and /cwc/ is dead, probably a few hundred, maybe 1000 tops.

Now if you're talking about how many people know of him, many, many more than that. Tens of thousands at least know the name "Chris(tian Weston) Chan(dler)" as it refers to the adult autistic child, and hundreds of thousands have seen his more disgusting exploits, like ECV 00095, or the video from which my avatar was derived.

After all, who could possibly resist the opportunity of watching a fat autist bang a love doll and scream "JULAY!"?

Eh, I would put his fame at the level of a local celebrity, and eccentric local celebrity, at best.

Chris once estimated his followers number about 1,000,000,000 people. I'd say that's pretty accurate.

So assuming that's not a TRUE and HONEST estimate, the original uploads of his videos didn't get many more views before being taken down than the mirrors have slowly gathered over the years? I was just thinking about HarryPartridge's idea for Chris to get some money from ads by streaming himself. If >1 billion views nets PSY 8 million USD then I was wondering if his potential revenue could have been anything more than a rowboat sailing next to his tugboat.

EDIT: rowboat sailing, WTF am I talking about?

We should start calling the Tugboat a Dinghy.

This is kind of interesting:

http://www.websitelooker.com/search.php?site=sonichu.com

It states that the CWCki gets about 3.5 thousand visits per day. Which is pretty sizable considering it's about an autistic manchild who hasn't provided much new content in over a year. (I don't know if those are unique visits, but I don't think it matters much.)

If we assume that the YouTube videos get a lot more traffic than the CWCki, and I think we should, then he could make some decent coin by monetizing himself some way. It appears the CWCKi could bring in about $350 a month if it ran ads. If Chris brought in more than that, and added it to his tugboat, it wouldn't be a ton of money by any stretch but could enhance his vidya-buying abilities.

I'd say his viewership is sorta average, but there's a 45 degree bend in the middle of it.

I kinda wonder how many viewers Chris has if you include the ones who have only seen him once. Like on some site talking about internet weirdos, anyone who just glanced at his ED page, or even just know vaguely of "that autistic Sonic recolor guy."

It's kind of difficult because people have varying levels of involvement in the Chris phenomena. If you want to take just the people who post on the forum, it's not a reflective view, because lots of people lurk, or only follow Da Update on the Cwcki (as I used to, for a long time before signing up here). There are people who go straight to the forum now, and don't go through the Cwcki page, too. It's difficult to assess how many people are still following Chris based on any one source, is what I'm saying.

Surprised this took so long, I was expecting it in the first reply to be honest!

Yeah, I knew this was all hard to get a handle on so I was thinking specifically about the views he used to pull in on his own Youtube channels. I was also wondering how much he could have earned by monetizing his uploads on them back in the day.

I always loved when he'd think he could directly address someone through YouTube and they'd immediately see it.

In the late 00's, there were tens of thousands of people going to the ED page, talking about him on various imageboards, and all that jazz. Now, I'd suspect maybe a few hundred people. Most Chris-based sites/communities are dead, and since he hasn't directly uploaded any content, a majority of the old fandase forgot about him.

Well, there are apparently 254 registered members on this forum, which probably constitutes most of the people who would actively go out and search for Chris content these days. Unless he goes back to the days of full-fledged antics, I doubt more than a few times that would watch his videos.

So, how much has Chris's viewership gone up since the 10 JAN 14 house fire?

Probably not much, because since that nothing else has happened and there's a lot more going on that's a lot more interesting than poring over every detail in the life of some fat 30 year old autist.
