Got55666 (talk · contribs) added a last name for Ian of iDubbbz ("Kovic") but I can't find any sources for it. Can any be found? Otherwise it aught to be removed. Elzbenz (talk) 07:13, 14 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Since the new YouTube design uses two significant figures for analytic metrics (views, subscribers, likes/dislikes), I'm thinking we should do the same for here, that way we don't have to update the numbers too often. OfficerAPC (talk) 15:32, 15 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Description and History Paragraph edit

The last paragraph in this section focuses on April Fools Day. Instead of mentioning the specific videos from April 1, 2018 to 2021, why not mention the fact HowToBasic occasionally makes special videos, whether they are for certain holidays or trending topics? 9March2019 (talk) 18:55, 8 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
