Your recollection is pretty close, but not quite right. I'm a little bored this afternoon so I thought I'd check the old thread to see when that occurred. Dream Crusher posted on September 28, 2016 that Trooper had reached 10k and that his subscriber count as of that day was 10,011. Neeme posted his first vlog nine days later on October 7th.

That's true, but I'd argue that he has made a bigger jump from where he began. Four years ago, Marle was a professional model and actress in New York City, with contacts in those industries. Four years ago, Tim was a waiter at a restaurant in a second-rate southern town, known by absolutely nobody other than a few friends and coworkers, and had no prospects on the horizon for that really to change.
He may still be a laughingstock as a poker player, but he's made a name for himself, has started a small business, and is known and followed by people in various countries around the world. I'd say that's quite a remarkable change from where he was four years ago.
