Challenge met.
The famous youtubers McFly & Carlito have succeeded in the bet launched by Emmanuel Macron.
The latter had offered them to make a clip recalling the barrier gestures to fight against Covid-19.
If the video exceeded the bar of 10 million "views", the head of state had promised them to participate in a
"competition of anecdotes" -
a format that often comes up on the McFly & Carlito channel.
The threshold was crossed overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday, three days after going online on Sunday.
A little before 8 am, the two YouTubers even approached eleven million views.
Revenues donated to an association
This bet, then the clip posted, baptized
“I remember”
, was the subject of criticism.
Many saw it only as a communication stunt from the Head of State to try to reach young people, with a view to the presidential election.
In a video announcing the challenge, Mc Fly & Carlito had also asked their followers not to be
"fooled about everything that happens"
.
“You have your free will, you are not influenced in any way,”
they wanted to emphasize.
The proceeds generated by the clip will be donated to Agoraé, a network of solidarity grocery stores for students in difficulty.
