Vitaly returns to YouTube after a year off and nobody noticed VitalyzdtvVeteran YouTuber Vitaly \u2018VitalyzdTv\u2019 Zdorovetskiy returned to the platform after more than a year-long break from making videos, but most of his viewers don\u2019t seem to have gotten the message. Those who have been on YouTube for a number of years have probably heard of or seen some of Vitaly\u2019s infamous prank videos in the past. Some of his most popular were the \u201cRussian Hitman\u201d stunts. The original version actually landed him in jail, but also racked up more than 18 million views in a week \u2013 an almost unheard-of accomplishment on the site back in 2012. In 2021 however, it seems like Vitaly\u2019s main YouTube channel just isn\u2019t pulling in the numbers it once did. https:\/\/youtu.be\/VDhu7QA3tbs Vitaly finally released his first new video in more than a year to his main channel on May 12, after not uploading since March of 2020. Titled \u201cChanging A Homeless Man Life!\u201d It follows the Russian-American YouTuber as he picks up a homeless person from the streets of LA. As far as content goes, it\u2019s the classic YouTube philanthropy of finding a down-on-their-luck individual and helping them out. Vitaly genuinely seems to assist the guy named Nick, but the video only has roughly 88,000 views compared to his last one before the year-long hiatus which racked up over 1 million. There are a couple of explanations why this could be happening. One is that this isn\u2019t the first time Vitaly has done a video like this. He has a whole series of helping out people instead of pranking them, so maybe viewers just aren\u2019t as interested as they once were. Whatever the reason, Vitaly himself doesn\u2019t seem to be too concerned with the drop in YouTube views. The influencer has stayed busy running his other sites, and even paid for a streaker to run across the field during the 2021 Super Bowl \u2013 though you might have missed it, as it wasn\u2019t broadcasted on television. Not being able to muster the views they once were able to is a common trend for some creators who have been on YouTube for a long time. That being said, Vitaly\u2019s prank videos are far more popular than his ones helping people out, so when a new one of those is released, we very well could see his viewership numbers go back up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
