      Markiplier did not invent Let’s Plays lol. Let’s Plays were nearly dead by the time he created his channel. He just was the first person to make FNAF Let’s Plays popular (I would assume, I’ve never watched anyone on this list because I’m over the age of 30)

      I would guess he lost a decent amount of subscribers being basically in hibernation making a movie for 2 years.

          I go through my subscriptions every couple of months and take off channels I don’t watch anymore / that don’t exist anymore.

      There was a channel called Let’s Play, of rooster teeth/achievement hunter origin. Markiplier didn’t have a channel until 2012. The Let’s play channel first uploaded in Dec 2011.
