YouTube Superstar of ‘Terrorists on a Plane’, Adam Saleh, might have played a prank on his own YouTube Account many months ago. Recently, Adam made the news when he filmed a prank video for YouTube while on an actual airplane with real people flying somewhere across the United States. He has made previous pranks on airplanes, including one where he dresses like a Saudi Arabian man, and another prank that includes him loudly counting down from 10 to 0 in the arabic language.
Now, it appears he might have played his biggest prank on YouTube and his own subscribers.
Looking at trend graphs of user engagement, it appears that Adam has an irregular amount of YouTube subscribers, views, and engagement.
Recently, Adam became famous over the Delta incident where they had to remove him from the plane after his prank was over and it was apparent that actions have consequences. He continued filming the incident, then started yelling on the plane about how they were kicking him off the plane because of the color of skin. It was only when another person sitting far away from him on the plane jumped on the opportunity to share his resentment that made the incident appear real. This second passenger was not removed from the plane, but did give credence to his sentiment, and helped cause others to watch his uploaded video, without the prank included.
What happened next was the beginning of #BoycottDelta and the possible loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars of revenue for the company, over a misleading video that went viral on social media.
