makepanicon India has the highest data usage per smartphone

> Technical Guruji (A Hindi tech channel) has way more subscribers than MKBHD

From looking over it, he has more subscribers but way less views per video.

MKBHD is easily over 2M views per video where Guruji never really breaches 1M views and seems to be around 400K per video.

> We noticed you're browsing in private or incognito mode.

> To continue reading this article, please exit incognito mode or log in.

> Why we made this change

> Visitors are allowed 3 free articles per month (without a subscription), and private browsing prevents us from counting how many stories you've read.

> We hope you understand, and consider subscribing for unlimited online access."

In case others don't want to leave private mode: http://archive.is/DjsiK
