Pretending TV is not a thing... this is just a general case of the Birthday problem. In a 24h day, to get a 50% chance of 2 people watching in sync, you need 350 people for 1s precision, 11000 for 1ms precision.

So a popular youtube channel will have tons of people overlapping to 1ms precision in the first few days.
