Bees, the ozone layer and kind strangers: Clutterbug tries good news
Cas Aarssen set the closets aside for an 18-minute tour of environmental wins and medical progress, while her daughter's dorm move filled the shorts.
ClutterbugStory of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Breaking News: The World Isn’t As Terrible As You Think
Good news drew the crowd. "Breaking News: The World Isn't As Terrible As You Think" is an unusual video for a channel built on decluttering. Cas Aarssen walks through nature's comeback, the truth about bees, the repair of the ozone layer, medical progress and a final chapter promising that people are nicer than we think. It is her most watched upload of the week by a wide margin, and it passed 95,000 views in four days.
The comments read like a second episode. Viewers answered with their own good news: recoveries, a new job with a shorter commute, starting college in their thirties, wild birds in the yard, and a crowd in Charlottetown cheering as lost wallets went back to their owners. Several asked her to make it a regular thing.
The rest of the eight uploads stayed closer to home, and to her daughter's new university residence. One short is about packing for the person you actually are, not your fantasy self. Another sets up a "just add water station" for nights when the cafeteria is closed. A dressed-up fall table, billed as a trick to keep papers and tools off it, fits the season, with Canadian Thanksgiving nine days off.
The channel ran a little above its usual daily pace and added about 10,000 subscribers. Among home and DIY channels near her size, Engineezy is having the big week.

I had over 20 different species of wild birds in my yard this morning. Felt like a Disney princess ❤
@Catv320See it on YouTubeI was at an event in Charlottetown Saturday night and people were turning in IDs, wallets, purses of people who lost them and we would chant their name to have them come to stage to get it.
Good people out there.@honeywell7892See it on YouTubeI started college this summer. I’m 34. There’s actually a grant for people who are older, and it’s paying for my tuition and books.
