Phil DeFranco?s multiple-times-a-day online video news and pop and internet culture program uploaded its first installment to YouTube on January 23, 2012. Sometime around May 28, 2012 that original video - and the subsequent 400+ videos uploaded under the banner of SourceFed - collectively amassed over 100 million views. And sometime on August 1, 2012, the most successful channel in the YouTube Originals Initiative crossed another analytics threshold that contains a lot of zeroes. Today, SourceFed garnered its 500,000th subscriber. The means in the 191-or-so days since its first upload, the YouTube channel has attracted somewhere in the ballpark of 2,600 subscribers a day, 109 subscribers an hour, and almost 2 subscribers per minute. (Editor's Note: DeFranco started promoting SourceFed before its first upload, so it's subscriber rate isn't quite that high, but still, it's impressive.) In anticipation of a celebration for the occasion, the SourceFed hosts solicited videos from fans, asking particularly fervent members of the Phil DeFranco nation to explain why they watch the program. Here?s a montage of a few of the 620+ videos that were submitted
