Most popular GTA IV channels... 2008 to 2013. (Views over time)

I got my hands on some YouTube archive data, and decided to dig through the old competitive GTA IV channels on YouTube, then I came up with the wacky idea of creating one of these historical data timeline videos. The GTA IV competitive scene was not very popular on YouTube, with the majority of channels having less than 1,000 subs. Video capture cards were also very rare from 2008 to 2010, so there's no footage of 99.99% of elite players.

I applied a few rules to the data...

1. The data range is GTA IV's entire life cycle, meaning... from GTA IV's release date to GTA V's release date.

2. I excluded non-GTA IV videos from the data, which wasn't that hard to do.

3. I only included GTA IV channels that were centered around competitive gameplay... players who were a part of the competitive scene.

4. I decided to include the new era channels which cheated with turbo controllers to make the video more interesting, and due to the fact that PS3 capture cards were very rare during the skill era.

Here's a list of YouTube channels used in this video, not all of them showed up in this video. I excluded all turbo cheating channels because I don't promote cheating on this channel. It's also important to know that the H13CaeLa channel vanished soon after I made this video, so there's no link.
