The truth about the most viewed Vietnamese YouTube channel

The account "Hard Mom & Smart Baby" is on YouTube's most viewed list.

According to TubeFilter , Vietnam has only one account that is on the list of most viewed in the week, worldwide . Specifically, the channel "Mother and Child" has received 460 million views in the last 7 days, ranking 29th globally. Meanwhile, in the entire life cycle, this account only has 900 million views. Thus, the amount generated in a week accounts for more than half of the channel's views.

However, this account is not created by a Vietnamese person. This is a channel that “re-up” videos from Douyin, China. The location, channel name and description are written in Vietnamese. In some videos, the dialogue is translated and dubbed by AI. However, most of the content is silent.

In the introduction, the channel owner does not hide the origin of these videos. All videos are taken from the famous series Dung Ma Ma and Quy Ca on the Douyin platform, China. "All videos are authorized by creators in China and strictly follow the platform's regulations," the account Me Kho & Con Khon said.

The YouTube channel was created in June and posts both long-form and Shorts videos. However, only short clips receive a large number of views. Longer content on the account receives a few hundred views. In contrast, Shorts' total views are in the hundreds of millions. The channel's most popular video has reached more than 115 million followers and nearly 800,000 likes.

In the comments section, users leave comments in many languages. This proves that the channel in question attracts an international audience, not just Vietnamese users. The sitcom style, shocking highlights, and little dialogue of this series appeals to a younger group, supported by distribution by the platform. According to TubeFilter, 40/50 of YouTube's most viewed channels make Shorts.

Recently, accounts of domestic creators such as Ben Eagle, To Rung, and Ciin Thao Ly no longer appear in the global most viewed list. The fluctuations of the distribution algorithm have greatly affected YouTube Shorts data.

In fact, accounts like Mother Kho & Child Khon, Ben Eagle, To Rung reach hundreds of millions of views per week, have tens of millions of subscribers, but are almost “unknown” to Vietnamese audiences. These channels make content without words, situational comedy or shocking, offensive actions, targeting international audiences. Only their registration area is located in Vietnam.
