I just watched one of his videos and even though i didn't understand it, I enjoyed it (it was Ben & Ed Zombie thing) lol
Also he is speaking Spanish, considering that is the 2nd most popular language and the 1st is not English. I am not surprised he is getting a lot of attention, perhaps all the Spanish speakers have just recently discovered him and love the fact he is doing a great job. Which is now creating a hype train and he is being talked about in Social Media a lot, creating better search results maybe.
One thing i do notice though, a lot of his comments involve ASCII art but because i don't speak the language that could just be a cool follower thing

He has the No. 1 Spanish-language gaming channel, so while this isn't exactly common, it's not surprising either.
Well... If you look at socialblade. There was a time when pewdie gets like 30k subs per day... Even as high as 100k no 300k subs a day. So... Maybe its just this fernanfloo's time to shine after pewdiepie? lol.
Plus this fernanfloo guy seems to have been doing youtube for 4 years. I wont call that new. But it has to be a combination of luck, promotion and tagging. Learn how he tags or title his videos, maybe that's the reason? If nothing else seems to be, then its just luck is on his side and all we can do is be jelly.
Again, the reason why PewDiePie got such a crazy amount of subscribers during that period was because the whole LP genre wasn't as saturated as it is today.
On top of that, he just comes across as a money *****, if you saw his "game" ( if you even want to call it that ) you would know what I'm talking about.[DOUBLEPOST=1454904507,1454900744][/DOUBLEPOST]
Channels are driven by the quality of their content not language.
One thing I don't get is how someone can have less content than the average YouTuber and doesn't upload daily but yet gains more traction

If you're going to put this much energy into it you might as well start a channel questioning his success and profit off your obsession.

Nothing in the slightest bit unusual about this. He's growing exponentially because he's the number 1 in his niche, i.e. Spanish LPers. Some people can't even watch English LPs because they don't understand the language, so the Spanish LP market isn't quite as saturated as the LP market as a whole is.
Also, just because a market is saturated doesn't mean someone can't blow up and get millions of subscribers and such. Gaming channels are part of the entertainment genre, and like most any entertainment, people like to watch lots of different shows, with lots of different people. I'm probably subscribed to a couple hundred or more gaming channels just myself, which is a sizeable chunk of the total channels I'm subscribed to.
Language is part of that. If you only speak Spanish, then I don't care how great some English/American LPers videos are - they're unwatchable because you can't understand.
If he's getting that many views and subscribers, then he does make quality content. It's like someone like PewDiePie, a lot of people would argue that his content is no longer quality compared to his older stuff. I personally prefer his older videos - but does that mean his content is suddenly bad? No it just means the niche he is targeting has changed since he initially started. Just because someone's channel doesn't fall into the particular niche you like best, doesn't mean their content is bad. People are there to be entertained, sometimes they like over the top silliness.
Also, by your posts I'd guess English is your first language. So that means Spanish isn't your first language and so you're judging his videos off a language you that isn't your primary one, or perhaps isn't even one you can understand at all. So how are you able to judge if it's quality content from that exactly? That's another thing too - humour differs in different countries, what might seem like a terrible joke and not entertaining to me as a Brit, might go down hilarious with someone in another country, etc.
No he's not botting. If you aren't convinced, go to any one of those videos and check out the comments. There's a new comment roughly every 30 seconds. These aren't bots, these are real people who enjoy his videos.
The numbers aren't that surprising anyway, PewDiePie saw larger and quicker growth than this guy, and you agreed that was possible because of the market not being saturated, but the market for Spanish LPers was clearly not saturated because he's the number one Spanish LPer and only has 9M subs (compare that to the number 1 US LPer, etc).
tl;dr: Nothing unusual here.
Also, just since you asked nicely..

People make the mistake of assuming that growth is dependent on your total subscribers or views, but growth depends on a lot of factors. There were times for example when PewDiePie was getting 80k+ subs a day, but now he's getting less than the people I listed above, despite still being a bigger channel than them.
If growth purely depended on size then the list of top YouTubers would be the same 10 years from now and there'd be no hope for new YouTubers to climb up those ranks. The truth is that's not how it works, and when someone snowballs during their new growth at a time of peak discovery they can easily start to climb those top 100 ranks and push to be up there with the other big players.

Obviously he wouldn't already be the No. 1 Spanish-language gaming channel if he hadn't quality content.
Also, langauge is very much a driving factor for a channel. If you had a channel in, say, Hungarian, it will be limited to those who understand Hungarian, and that's only a couple million people. Spanish on the other hand is one of the most widespread languages on the planet, so a Spanish channel has the potential to have hundreds of millions of subscribers (theoretically).
His game isn't high quality though, it's like a crappy space invaders clone with cheap graphics and his face and name plastered on it.
Yeah, you're right about the language being a driving factor but out of all the other Spanish speaking big hitters who have twice as much content and almost as many subscribers don't garner as many views as he does especially in such a short period of time.
1M + views in a matter of hours, for any other YouTuber it would take at least 3 or 4 days to get even that much.
When you take into account that he has competition of other Youtubers, those views would be shared and as such would have similar stats.
No Youtuber has an exclusive audience.
