Thanks for this. I was not aware of Tabii. I just checked it out and my jaws dropped when I saw Tabii Urdu has 20M subscribers (as in third largest YouTube channel in Turkey) only a few weeks into its launch. Similarly Arabic seems pretty popular too. The regime knows what it is doing.
Yeah, that is wild. The next biggest channel is Turkish with 4.17M.
I figured they were using YouTube for now because they probably rushed the launch, and were planning on creating their own streaming platform. Maybe not though. YouTube is smooth, they're building up a base, maybe they'll just stay.
