Glaciers move faster than politics on CrashCourse
Geology's nineteenth episode is gathering views more quickly than the premiere of a brand-new government course, and a ten-day-old astronomy marathon is keeping close company.

Why Are US Politics Today So Divisive?: Crash Course US Government #1
CrashCourse put up two episodes, and they sit at opposite ends of a series. "Why Are US Politics Today So Divisive?: Crash Course US Government #1" opens a new course. "The Future of Glaciers: Crash Course Geology #19" arrives deep into an established one.
The premiere holds the bigger total, past 100,000 views after five days. The glacier episode, two days younger, is the one moving faster now. It opened strongly on its first day and has since settled, but it is still gathering views more quickly than the politics opener. Glaciers are not known for speed, which makes the lead a small pleasure.
The third video with real momentum is not new. "Crash Course Astronomy Marathon • Full Series" is ten days old and moving at almost the same pace as the government premiere, a whole course in one sitting still finding viewers.
Among the explainer and education channels, CrashCourse ranks third of nine by subscribers. Only TED and TED-Ed are larger, and The Infographics Show is the next channel down.
