I started subbing to Hickok on Youtube back when he pribably had only 120,000 subscribers. Now he has more subs than probably every gun lobby group combined.
What has surprised me is at the same time I subbed to Nutnfancy who at the time had significantly more subscribers than Hickok and over the years Nutnfancy’s channel has just absolutely flat lined like code blue. His content required tons of prep and dollars yet 15 years later he is only at 862K subs while Hickok has like 7M!
Yeah, Nutn didn’t have the warmth and Charisma of Hickok. Hickok is like everyone’s favorite Grandfather. Also I don’t think Nutn’s run and gun tactical style had the same appeal as Hickok’s backyard shooting range approach.
