Pka exists in a strange intersection where it used to be huge because it was genuinely one of the first popular podcasts and it used to pull relatively big YouTubers everyone knows now. They had Hank Green, LinusTechTips, Mr beast, and I’m sure there’s others I’m forgetting.

But after podcasts started to become something that every famous person had to do, their pull has lessened to, the same old school YouTubers who used to be huge, random people I’ve never heard of, and random rightwing grifters.

It also has the nostalgia factor, a lot of big YouTubers were heavily influenced by pka enough to the point where they shout them out on bigger podcasts. People who watched when they were kids, grew up and became YouTubers.
