According to BBC News, Tobi stated that he enjoyed interacting with their largely young male fan base. He said, “Our main advantage over traditional media is that they look at ratings and views whereas we can see comments and get feedback when we run into people on the street.”
Vikram added, “We can turn things around fast and there’s no red tape, no corporate overseeing, and when we decide what we want to do, we go and do it. To be able to get together once a year and create a fun event everyone enjoys and also raise millions of pounds for great causes seems too good not to do.”
The Sidemen have a combined 130 million subscribers. One of their members, KSI, is a popular actor, rapper, and boxer. He has two full-length albums named Dissimulation and All Over the Place.
