On the other hand you have channels like Applied Science where he rarely ever mentions that he's employed by Google, except in rare Q&A videos. His channel is popular because he shows off really neat stuff in good detail, rather than dazzling people with his credentials.

I love Ben's videos however perhaps if he followed the marketing strategy of Mark Rober or Ali Abdaal he would have more than 700k subscribers.

Not that 700k is bad at all, it is just an observation at how many subscribers some of these people can get primarily through name dropping.

However I don't think Ben is all that fussed about chasing every subscriber like Mark and Ali.
