Why this one

Ryan Higa was YouTube’s most-subscribed creator from 2009 to 2011, and when his upload pace slowed, the channel settled into a 690K-views-per-video rhythm — the comfortable holding pattern of a semi-retired legend. In October 2019 he tried a Bob Ross painting tutorial: apologetic, messy, the exact format his early comedy ran on before production values started mattering. 4.7 million views arrived — 6.8× his channel norm. The audience for nostalgia content is patient and unaccountably loyal; they wait without complaining for the right video, and then they all show up at once.
