Investigating The Czechia Tourists Never SeeInvestigating The Czechia Tourists Never See

More than 740 million lifetime views sit behind bald and bankrupt, the channel of a bald Englishman who has spent years wandering the less polished corners of the former Eastern Bloc and beyond. Nothing new went up this week, so the back catalog did the traveling.

The busiest video right now is "Investigating The Czechia Tourists Never See," posted five weeks ago. Its premise is simple: plenty of people visit Prague, far fewer go anywhere else, so off he went into the towns outside the capital with Fred and fellow traveler Backpacker Ben. It has passed three million views and is still drawing close to ten thousand a day.

Just behind it is a video that reads like a career summary. Since starting the channel in 2018, he had set out to film in every former Soviet republic, and Turkmenistan finally completed the map. "I Visited Every Soviet Republic. Here's My Rankings" sorts all fifteen from worst to best, and the description promises no punches pulled. Nearly five months on, it is still moving.

The third is older still: a ride across West Bengal in the general class carriages of Indian Railways, again with Backpacker Ben. Posted almost a year ago, it is the most watched of the three.

Among travel channels of a similar size, the big stretch belongs to Jen Smith, running far above her usual pace, while Kara and Nate are quieter than normal. bald and bankrupt sits second by subscribers in that company, level with Kara and Nate at about 4.5 million.
