He also said that people spread fake news and content through such profiles. In a previous video this week, he promised to upload content more frequently to avoid his name being used to float duplicate accounts since several fake accounts have already been made under his name on social media. There are seven videos on his YouTube channel, of which four were posted months ago. The journalist said he was thankful to viewers for his YouTube channel gathering over two lakh subscribers within hours. He wondered what examples of journalistic work “ godi media” anchors could cite to claim such a certificate and said many journalists are relieved that the order has been withdrawn. In his latest video, Kumar hit out at the BJP government over the recently withdrawn directive requiring journalists to produce a “character certificate” to be able to cover Modi’s visit to Himachal Pradesh. He had called the rumours about his resignation as fake as prime minister Narendra Modi agreeing to give him an interview. The Magsaysay awardee has promised to frequently post videos on YouTube, days after news of an imminent takeover of NDTV by the Adani Group triggered speculation about the fate of his show on the channel.

Talking about the increased subscriptions on his newly-revived YouTube page, noted NDTV journalist Ravish Kumar has said it is not just about subscriptions but also about responding to the “media backed by thousands of advertisement types” and a sign that the audience has now “understood the maneouvres of the mainstream media”.
