And 13 a group of seven Legends came together to create a project that would be of historical significance on YouTube. On the 19th of October 2013, a group of seven Legends came together to create a project that would be of historical significance on the YouTube platform. Fell in with my best friend. do I send it and tell her will let it play out will you brother and chat? Thanks for the help! In the beginning, the project had no following.

it had no notoriety and the name represented nothing but a GTA online group created by a few small YouTubers oh my God However, the potential for the group was unbounded. They had nothing but anything that they could dream of. And what happens when you combine the skills and intelligence of seven creators Each of which already at the absolute of their field, you get a YouTube group known as the Sidan Chad was ITC Are these guys we watch forc right? I Also, watch it then for the ultimate Sid Men would end up consisting of seven members KSI Vicstar 123 Mini Mina Roa Shaw Bazinga Tobe Jizzel and Zerker but in the beginning early 2013, the name siden represented very little on the YouTube platform and each Creator was simply doing their own thing with individual channels of substantial size. However, the creators were certainly already known to each other.

KSI and Mini Mina had both attended the same school and therefore had made various videos together in the past, while Zerker and Tobe Jizzel had also attended the same school leading to a similar scenar. Mario Me and To went to school together. Yeah, me and this guy went to school together. The other three members that would eventually join the Sidan Bazingo, RO Sh and Vickar had met the other four creators in the past through YouTube and other scenarios and considering each of these individuals already had their own personal YouTube channel, they will begin to make videos and play games together such as GTA 5 Vi Vi Let Me Kill Him Let Me Kill him Back Kill Him Shut Up And with upload such as GTA 5 Online Group Fun With Zerker, Toby KSI and Bazinga we can see the skeleton of a YouTube group beginning to form the G Clipper.

These collaboration videos between each member would lead up to the release of GTA Cru in October 2013, at which point Ethan AKA Bazinga would go ahead and create Grp under the name the Ultimate Sidan Online dropped and then I thought I went into making the crew thing I went up the GTA crew where we could all join called the Ultimate Sidan the Point which each member considered to be the official beginning of the group. The word sidemen describes a person who copies everything his or her friend does and is subordinate to the boss of the group. When the Sidman group was first created, KSI was the biggest YouTuber of the seven having around 4 million subscribers and the name of the group began as a joke that each member was a Sid man of KSI being subordinate and copying him as he was the biggest out of every Creator Yes, so we all making the joke. That and the.

However, we have to mention at the time, the Ultimate Siden GTA crew was far from the side Man YouTube group. There were still just a bunch of individual YouTubers playing games together. Regardless, the group certainly began to build up some YouTube notoriety as the Sidan moving into a house together which they nicknamed the Sidan House. Yes, this is the house tour I promise you guys! Also, beginning at The Clothing Company on the 30th of December 2014, this was all in conjunction with numerous Siden Group Style videos on individual channels such as the Crossbar Challenge posted on Ksi's personal Channel Crossbar Challenge and the Patience Test post on Mini M.

Today, they're going to be doing whatever they can to try and stop me sitting here. The problem, however, was that the group didn't have its own YouTube page, possibly owing to the difficulty in trying to set up a Channel with seven different creators. However, this would change after KSI witnessed the success of KYR Speedy Gaming Group. Those YouTubers I forgot what their group is called, but they had like a little group and we were like oh yeah, we should just do something similar and decided that making the Ultimate Siden into a somewhat official YouTube group might not be such a bad idea.

After an assumed planning period of around 6 months, the official Sidemen Channel would go live on the 2016 Hey Guys and welcome to the Sidan Channel. The seven creators involved in the project had a combined total of around 30 million subscribers at the time, and when combining with a shout out from each individual YouTube channel, we I'm created a new channel. Ladies and gentlemen, the Siden. The initial growth for the Siden was abs absolutely insane.

Within only 3 days, the Siden had steamrolled past a million subscribers which at the time also gave it the record for the fastest YouTube channel to ever reach the seven figure. Milestone After 2 weeks, the Siden would post their first video Ethan's more of a Ethan's more of a skeleton and H upload to follow began to rack up an absolutely insane view count. Within only 6 months of launching, the Siden had written their own book which they would promote on a tour launched a football team called Sidemen. FC.

We've put hours and hours into preparing everything except what happens in the match that we have no idea how it's going to go and racked up a whopping 1.8 million subscribers while the launch of the Sid was of the strongest in YouTube Channel History Perhaps it was a little too strong as it wouldn't be long before problems would begin to pop up here and there. For the members of the Sideman Channel, it was like getting to a point where we were like we might have to end this. That's it. Yeah, just like move on from this whole Sidon thing in August 2017 a little over 1 year after the Sidemen began posting videos together KSI The most popular Creator would leave the group posting a video on his channel titled I'm Leaving The Siden title of the video I I'm no longer with the Sidman also claiming that his departure was because of Ethan AKA Bazinga mainly because of Ethan I'd say he was the main reason I'm leaving.

can't stand him This claim was backed up by various tweets such as yeah I I think it's time to move on from the Siden the journey has been a lot of that. that just sounds made up. To be honest, considering KSI was no longer making videos with the group, each of the siden just kind of forgot about the project and it was pushed to the back of everyone's mind when I left. During that whole period like the siden were just like a we were just in limbo.

However, there were some benefits to KSI leaving the group. It provided an opportunity for each Creator to gain subscribers of the drama Bing post a Dis Track title drama which Hason to this day meanwhile KSI also us the drama to gain well over 100 million views across different videos. I Get it. It's one of those things like whenever you're with the boys and then one guy like leads Discord type so like they are kind of mad but like you know, they're going to come back type.

That's kind of how I feel about it. So what are you saying bro? All of which surrounding the topic of him leaving the Sidan 3 months into the KSI Sidan Hiatus he would upload a video titled was the Siden Beef fake in which he would outline that the whole thing was just a setup in order to gain exposure. It was fake. You mad, huh? you mad bro, you mad sis.

Now, while everyone was thankful to hear that the beef was fake and that KSI wasn't actually leaving the sidemen, there was still a fundamental problem that remained for the group each. Creator had gotten out of the habit of regularly creating content for the Sidan channel during the beef. So when KSI announced that the beef was over, it's not like they just got straight back into making videos. A month passed, then 2 months passed and there were still no uploads to the Sidemen channel.

It would only be in January 2018. Approximately 9 months after the previous upload that a new video would be posted to the channel announcing the commencement of siden. Sundays Well, there's going to be Sidman Sundays We're going to try and upload every single Sunday But why would they randomly decide that they wanted to upload every single week after not uploading for 9 months? What was their motivation? CH Sunday Go harder. What do you think? Why do you think soda had? Um, sellout? Sundays Sundays is a key point that everybody's been like talking about or like not.

if everybody's like it's just kind of how it is. Yeah, it's money day. Sunday Suay Money G Popularity in 2018 by the name of YouTube Originals and the thing that saved the siden was a YouTube Originals YouTube original a YouTube original saved The Side Man KSI Explained that the group decided they wanted to make a YouTube original series a series that only paid subscribers were able to watch on the YouTube platform. However, after pitching the idea to YouTube they were rejected with YouTube saying that they'd be happy to do the series.

but the siden weren't receiving enough views to Greenlight the project. So the sidemen had to come up with an idea to get their view count up. So we like okay we have to think of a plan so we were thinking okay what would work and we decided we' do videos together every week and post it every Sunday Only 6 months after announcing that they would be uploading weekly videos, the Siden would increase their view count from 1 million per month to 35 million per month at which point YouTube would accept their YouTube Originals request and the Sidman released the Sidman show Hi your Wife I've got a Knife now as KSI explain, the Sidman show didn't actually do much for their Channel as a whole and the YouTube Originals happened. It didn't really do much, but we gained so much from it.

But what it did do was get the creators into a habit of making regular videos together. and considering that we're now reing around 35 million views Nah, that gets everybody's skill set way up. I Feel like something like this levels up the whole Squad in like so many ways though every month on the channel Sid Men: Sundays would continue these 35 million views every single 5 million subscribers in June 2019 at which point they would upload a video would change the history of their Channel Forever Yo what's up and welcome to Sidan Real Life Tinder We all know how this goes. Various girls from all over the country will swipe right if they're interested and left if they're not.

It was Ksi's idea in the beginning. a bizarre idea of course, but an idea that would exceed the expectations of every single one of the members to set up Tinder as if it were a real life experiment. Real women, real rejection, and a whole bunch of terrible pickup lines. hi I'm KSI I'm 25 and I'm rich and famous wa Oh, something about this video resonated with fans better than anything else.

Perhaps it was the comedy or simply involved in the video, but the performance was absolutely unmatched on the Sidan channel. In less than a week, the video had gained 13.5 million views and in a month, the video became the most popular upload on their Channel. After almost a year of averaging 35 million views every single month, the Tinder and Real Life video boosted their average views to 85 million a month, then 100 15 million only 2 months later. I Never did any content.

Real Life number two: your hair is quite nice and you seem like good fun. So if I give you this Rose will you finger my bum? This video once again racked up a massive 15 million. I Had one incident of dating at like 3:00 a.m. in the morning on an OverWatch stream and that's like the most anti- analytics like a non-farming thing you could possibly do.

and then one Raj Royale or some out of like out of 300 hours a month. One hour of something is that guys. That's 0.3% of the content views in the first week and has gained a little over 50 million views to this day. These videos ultimately boosted their subscriber count, passing 6 million, then 7 million, edging them closer and closer to that 10 million subscriber.

Milestone But in order to cross that Milestone the sidemen would have to think outside of the box. They couldn't just keep making Tinder in Real Life videos all the way up until Hinder in Real Life. Episode 63: They needed a new idea that would help the growth of the channel. The group would eventually find this new idea.

However, the idea would not come in the form of a video or say a meet and greet, but rather in a slightly unconventional event. So the fight has been announced today: November 9th Staple Center in La How are you feeling on the 4th of September 2019 KSI The most subscribed Bro Bro Amaranth in me is not dating content. Bro Bro: What? Why have you gone? The vibe that me and Amarand when she shows up. It's like dating con brother, brother.

We just sit at the computer and we just chill said bro I Got a bunch of weirdos that is not dating content. Like what? The Bro: There's not even a singular inch of effort to Farm uh, like like shippers. Like what the Sidan of the Seven would announce that he would be rematching Logan Paul Boxing Match everything. I did it with her.

It's something I could have done with a guy right and would have done the exact same result. It's just like me showing Tik Toks I've done with guys before uh um, when I show Tik Toks to Pokey how was that shipping? It's just like I I Had no dating interest like the after their first fight ended in a draw. It is a majority draw. It's a draw.

let's hear it. And while this was extremely exciting for KSI himself, it also began to provide numerous video and growth ideas for the Sidan Fight predictions, podcast topics, and a load of other content, all racking up millions of views for the Sidman Channel We're going to be talking about the KSI versus Logan Pool 2 fight November 9th. We're going to be giving out thoughts on the buildup. our prediction of how the fight's going to go KSI would go on to win the fight against Logan Paul from the United Kingdom The nightmare.

Hey, and it's safe to say that the siden were absolutely stoked. just ecstatic. Euphoria Relieved it's over. the whole process is finally over.

I Think like this probably takes more breaking down I Think this could have been like a 30 minute video right where it explains like the the work ethic and the system that they made and the the structure and most of the things that make why it works, not just oh that worked, just the wise of it. The event ultimately boosted the growth and exposure for KSI and since he's often considered to be the front man or the Sid man, this growth would trickle down to each of the Sidan channels. The fight as a whole was excellent for the overall long-term growth of the Sidan Channel and in conjunction with a consistent upload schedule, the formation of numerous unique video ideas and years of good old hard work, the Sidan Channel would eventually hit 10 million subscribers on the 30th of November 2020. Welcome to the Sidan Channel YouTube would send each Creator a 10 million subscriber button which was some hilarious as only two out of the seven creators had hit 10 million on their personal channels.

Therefore, for five of the siden, it was their first 10 million subscriber play button. you've got two others so you don't even care and two. this is my first one since hitting 10 million subscribers 4 months. I've never gotten the one play buttons add of all my channels on YouTube all of them the main one, the side ones, all them combined I never received a singular box bro I don't know what that is going man have only I know what the fck going on with that man 5 million on more siden, 3 million on Sidan reacts and 1 million on siden shorts.

The siden have shown that when harnessing the skills and complexity of seven different individualized YouTubers the channel That results is certainly something to behold. Not wrong I mean I move all the time I have everywhere dude I have items and like trophies or whatever or Awards in like like five different houses I don't even know what the my is at anymore. how are you I'm not mad about it cuz I don't I don't think awards are like a a big like whatever I they give be like a token. It's cool to kind of like I I I Feel like a trophy or like an award isn't something that in my opinion um, you use a is a constant reminder I think it's something that you appreciate one time and then you move on and mentally.

that's it. Otherwise, otherwise it's useless. It's it's kind. It's it's counter counters the purpose.

It counters the purpose I don't why you gu St like stop the cap I have a B I have an insane amount of award and there's none here. there's zero behind me I don't carry them around I don't I don't care I don't get to see them cuz the moment you get them, it's a token of of acknowledgement As soon as you get it and then it's over. anything else is stupid yo. this is X x on the be yo he my voice as well that anyone knows that boy I don't know he's just so s anyone knows that boy I don't know he's just so s.
