Subscriber number 300,000

Today Numberphile reached its 300,000th subscriber.

It's always hard figuring out exactly who the milestone subscriber is - but I think number 300,000 may have been Jordan, from London, Ontario.

Jordan told me: "I saw you enigma machine video when someone posted it on Reddit today and am slowly working through your other videos. I really like channels such as yours (or CGPGrey, Minute Physics and the like) with little bite size learning opportunities."

Numberphile reached 200,000 subscribers in November - here is an article about person number 200,000.

 

50,000 Subscribers

Our periodicvideos YouTube channel reached 50,000 subscribers last night.

The historic subscription came from someone in Croatia... I've emailed the person to try and find out more about them.

I'm also working on a special video to mark the milestone. That will be coming soon.

In the meantime, here's bit of a favourite video about our work covering the elements.



PS: In the same evening, our physics channel Sixty Symbols reached its 40,000th subscriber!
