Fact Fiend

Karl Smallwood and Brad Rawlinson, better known online as Fact Fiend, is a YouTube channel who tells facts from the fact fiend website into a YouTube video. After they finish the main story of the video, he is well known for his tangents, which are usually stories that he talks about with Brad, which are related to the main video. Many of the videos feature Karl drinking during the videos (though he usually stays on topic after drinking). Although his channel was made on March 11, 2017, on the month of May 2018, YouTube started heavily promoting his content, resulting in approximately an additional 70 thousand subscribers from a figure around 10,000 before May 2018 (According to tube buddy).

Trivia

 * Before gaining popularity, the channel used to have a patreon page, however, due to the channel's surge in popularity, he shut down his patreon since he had enough money to support their channel thanks to the surge of popularity


 * Karl has stated that many YouTubers played ads in the middle of the videos on purpose since they had to press a button to do so, since he found it annoying, many of his videos do not have ads in the middle of the videos (though the channel does so in the first few minutes of the videos)


 * Originally Brad wanted to crop out the corners that were visible in the videos, however, Karl thought it'd be funny to make the videos look as bad as possible and just stand in front of a green screen that they didn't actually use. Now, its mostly just for the sake of continuity


 * Quoted as saying “Still pretty cool though”- Karl Smallwood about a Nazi
 * He gets annoyed when he sees Karl spelt with a "C" and not a "K" in his comments section which he mentions at the end of his video "Daft Punk Don't Give a Robotic crap (How to Spell Karl)"
 * Defenestration is the act of throwing someone through a window

Milestones

 * 100,000 subscribers: June 7 2018.
