Great news: MeidasTouch beat Donald Trump and UFC in digital ratings on YouTube. Trump, Elon Musk, and Dana White staged a PR stunt this weekend at UFC 309 as part of their propaganda campaign, surely hoping for good ratings. Sorry, not sorry, Donald, but the MeidasTouch Network beat you and UFC in YouTube ratings.
UFC uploaded full fights from this weekend to its YouTube channel, which boasts over 19.2 million subscribers. MeidasTouch uploaded videos of Ben Meiselas recording from his living room, complete with barking dogs and a crying baby in the background. Guess who won?
According to results from Playboard, the leading YouTube viewer rating agency, the MeidasTouch Network outperformed both Trump and UFC in the ratings. MeidasTouch ranked third, while UFC came in fourth for all YouTube ratings (views and engagement) in the U.S. during the same period.
What makes this accomplishment even more special is that MeidasTouch has zero outside investors. Meanwhile, UFC is backed by billions of dollars from the world’s wealthiest people. And yet, Meidas still won! Pretty cool, right?
