About Hard Fork

Hard Fork Gaming (@hardforkgaming) is a US-based YouTube channel that covers Web3 gaming, metaverse projects, NFT games and related crypto news. The channel was created in 2020 and built a catalogue of 271 videos, mostly short news explainers, gameplay alpha previews and long live-stream replays. Its 2022 output was the most active period, with many uploads per week.

The channel's public data shows about 3,470 subscribers and a median of roughly 300 views per video, with a mean near 1,100 views. Audience estimates are based on the content and are not verified: viewers are likely crypto-curious gamers, mostly English speakers in the US and UK. No uploads appear in the last year, so the channel should be treated as dormant.

Based on the median views, a sponsored integration would fall in the $150 to $250 range per video. Compared with paid ads at a $10 to $30 CPM, this rate is much higher per thousand views, so it suits only brands seeking a very targeted niche audience. Brands in web3 gaming who need early-access testers should confirm current activity first.
