So the “K” reveal story (thread) - It started as a joke years ago that I wouldn’t tell people my middle name because the K in MKBHD was the 1 private thing I had left. I jokingly started saying I’d reveal it at 10 million subscribers because clearly that would never happen
Eventually as the channel kept growing and picking up steam, people started digging that up and projecting when we’d reach 10 million and getting pumped for the reveal. People started guessing every name in the book. Whoa.
Fun fact: You can’t edit your own Wikipedia. So as people guessed, they’d edit my Wiki with their guess. To the point where Wiki would occasionally lock the page for vandalism… whoever was the last to edit was the answer Google Assistant/Siri would tell everyone for weeks 😅
Eventually someone (I can only imagine digging back through old videos for evidence) found one of my first screencasts had this note in it. Welp. No use hiding it now. Every detective on the internet would now reply with this screenshot to everything for the next year 😭
More incredibly, though, we finally actually did it. 10,000,000 of you subscribed to the channel. So there it is. It’s my Dad’s middle name too. And his Dad’s. We’re all MKBs, I’m just the first HD one 🤓
Either way I just want to say I’m immensely grateful and just straight up floored that this many people share my passion for tech, and I think it’s a helluva way to close out the decade. THANK YOU! Let’s make the next one even better!
