Ruhi Çenet (born October 20, 1990[1]) is a Turkish YouTuber and an independent documentary filmmaker.[2] He gained initial recognition by uploading videos that reveal unsettling scientific and historical facts on YouTube platform and then became widely known for his documentaries in which he explores extreme locations and the lives of people with unusual genetic conditions.
As of 2022, Çenet's YouTube channel broadcasts in 16 different languages and has reached over 15 million subscribers worldwide.
Early life[edit]
Ruhi Çenet was born in Aydın, Turkey.[3] He spent his childhood in Manisa and Bandırma. As a child, he was notably curious, social, and always eager to share his knowledge. During his university years, he shared coding techniques that he learned in class on his blog. He also created a website where he published general knowledge information. Çenet's YouTube journey began in 2008 when he uploaded amateur guitar tutorials. Over time, he adapted his website content into video format, influenced by another channel called Alltime10s.
Following his university years in India,[1] Çenet returned to Turkey and settled in Istanbul.[3] Instead of pursuing a career in software engineering, he chose to become a YouTuber. Today, he runs his channel, @RuhiCenet, which has more than 2 billion views worldwide.
Personal life[edit]
Ruhi Çenet has an older brother, Ahmet, and a younger sister, Sümeyra, both of whom are also content creators on YouTube. Followed by over a million subscribers, Sümeyra Çenet produces videos covering interesting facts about every country in the world while Ahmet Çenet shares his bushcraft and wilderness survival skills through camping vlogs.
In 2019, Çenet married Cansu Gizem.[4] The couple has two children: a daughter, Şule, born in 2021, and a son Atlas, born in 2023.
YouTube career[edit]
Çenet started producing videos for YouTube in 2011.[1] He created educational videos initially centered around horror themes. His videos were on diverse subjects, ranging from conspiracy theories and technological advancements to psychiatric disorders, genetic abnormalities, extraterrestrial phenomena, and atrocity crimes. In 2019, he adopted the principle "Curiosity is the best guide" and shifted his focus from horror-themed content to on-site documentary production. This new approach allowed him to expand his channel by undertaking larger-scale projects and reaching a broader audience.
Early 2020, Çenet visited China to learn more about the coronavirus.[2][5]
In 2021, he went to the Azerbaijan-Armenia frontline. In that documentary, he captured moments of active conflict when a bomb fell just a few hundred meters away. In the same year, Çenet traveled to Yakutsk, known as the coldest city, with temperatures dropping to -71°C. Together with his sister, he produced four videos exploring various aspects of life in such extreme cold. The first video filmed in Yakutsk alone achieved 185 million global views and YouTube Turkey recognized this video as the best video of the year.
In the subsequent year, 2022, Çenet documented his journey along the Karakoram Highway, notoriously known as the world's most dangerous road with over 1,000 reported casualties in Pakistan since its opening to the public in 1978. He covered the pollution issues of Lahore, also in Pakistan, the world's most polluted city according to American Air Quality Index reports. In that year, the documentary he filmed in Burundi, the world's economically weakest nation, was honored by YouTube Turkey as the best video of 2022.
Çenet undertook an expedition to the Lut Desert, known as the hottest place on Earth, where surface temperatures can reach 70°C. During his visit, he became the first person to document a subspecies of Eremiaphila in Gandom Beryan, the desert's hottest point, contrary to academic claims that no creatures inhabit that region.
In the same year, Çenet launched a video series titled "Extraordinary Lives" in which he interviewed individuals with unique life stories. Notable figures featured in the series include Sultan Kösen, the tallest person, measuring 251 cm (8 ft 2.82 in), Rümeysa Gelgi, the tallest woman, measuring 215 cm (7 ft 0.71 in), Jyoti Amge, the world's shortest person with a height of 63 cm (2ft) all of whom are recognized by the Guinness World Records. He also explored the life of Mama Uganda, the most fertile woman with 44 children at the age of 41.
In November 2022, he interviewed conjoined twins Sohna and Mohna Singh.[6]
As a pioneer among Turkish YouTubers in multi-language broadcasting, Çenet has been invited to speak at several Google panels and on conventional media platforms. Starting in 2023, he began utilizing YouTube's multi-track audio feature and delivering his global content exclusively on the Ruhi Çenet Medyaları channel.
In December 2023, Çenet posted a documentary about his visit to La Rinconada, Peru, which gathered over 30 million views in 3 months.[7]
Public perceptions and operational challenges[edit]
Some have suggested[weasel words] that the name Ruhi, which means "spiritual," is a pseudonym, and that he deliberately deepens his voice for his online persona. Contrary to these ongoing speculations, both Çenet's name and the depth of his voice are authentic aspects of his identity.[citation needed]
Due to the intensive production process of each video, the absence of a regular upload schedule for Çenet's main channel has become a point of criticism among some of his subscribers. Behind the scenes, Çenet's team includes 10 core members and 45 freelancers working together to produce content in 15 different languages.
