Some of his videos have over 38Million views:





As mentioned, part of his success comes from his appearance due to his rare genetic disorder, (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/keenan-cahill-youtube-star-highlights-rare-genetic-disease/story?id=12227883), and peoples love for things which are strange and different, so I would agree with you there.

This video was made by Rhett and Link, 2 guys who gained fame through their youtube videos, and now have their own TV show where they make commercial for local small businesses in the US called Commercial Kings.

So what do you guys  think? Do Rhett and Link know the secret to viral media? Is there one?!
