Part of what drives huge view numbers tho is that small kids like to watch the same thing again and again and again. Easily, one kid can account for 1000 of views over few months. That is why stuff like "10 hours same song" exists.
I once watched my nephew, 3 yo, having what I can best describe as a psychotic breakdown, hysterically crying out the same word, 'cartoon', interleaved with convulsive grasping for air, every few seconds for an hour straight, like a machine, when he was deprived of 'cartoons' as a penalty for his 'bad behavior', and nobody, including his mom, my sister, who spinelessly managed to outsource his upbringing to YT, could pull him out of that loop. That was really scary to see.
Imagine YT going instantly offline worldwide, what would happen to all those poor little cartoon burnouts?

They will cry for a while and then they will adjust to the new world.

I dont know your sister. I dont know whether she always give in or whether she was not in mood for listening it or whether she specifically gave him video so that your visit can continue as normal.
