A friend commented on the video, saying it was really great and that I should start a YouTube channel—and that’s how it all began,” said the creator in a celebratory post.
The Silver Play Button is awarded by YouTube to creators who surpass 100,000 subscribers, marking a significant milestone in their content creation journey. For Saanaka Bro, it’s not just a recognition of numbers but also a reflection of the joy and laughter they’ve brought to their community.
