When you hit 100,000 subscribers, we thought, ‘Hey, this channel looks good.’ Then you reached one million subscribers and we realized that your success was no accident. But 10 million? You have left us speechless. 10 million subscribers is not just a round number, it is more than the population of New York City. Face it, you are no longer just a big channel, you are now a global phenomenon. You’ve hit the right key and you have a legion of fans who expect a lot from you. We hope you accept this Diamond Creator Award as a symbol of our admiration and respect for all that you have accomplished. You are a strong daily inspiration for us, you have left us speechless, keep it up ”.
