YouTube has awarded Ankit Singh with a Silver Play Button.
The 16-year-old student from the BMC Shastri Nagar Mumbai Public School received the coveted plaque for reaching more than one lakh subscribers on his video gaming channel on the social media platform.
Despite coming from a poor background and having few resources, the Kalina resident was able to accomplish this feat in just two years.
Ankit, whose father works as a security guard, first started recording and uploading his exploits at Free Fire, a popular ‘battle royale’ mobile game, during the Covid-19 lockdown. However, as his "Ankit Gamerz" channel grew in popularity and a number of subscribers, what had initially been a diversion to pass the time during the pandemic quickly transformed into a passion.
YouTube Creator Awards are given to content creators who reach certain milestones in terms of subscribers and views on their channel. It is not uncommon for YouTubers who produce content related to gaming to achieve high levels of engagement and build large audiences on the platform.
