His only new upload is running almost level with the entire channel's usual daily pace, well ahead of a three-week-old nuclear survival guide.

How To Use Drones In War
Garand Thumb's channel has slipped a little past 800 million lifetime views, and the week added just one video to that pile. "How To Use Drones In War" went up on Sunday, and one upload turned out to be plenty. In its first day it drew views at nearly the pace the whole channel usually keeps, a lot of weight for a single video to carry.
The older survival material is still moving too. "How To Survive a Nuclear Strike - First 72 Hours" is three weeks old and past a million views, yet the drone video is drawing roughly nine times its daily views. Further back, "The Hero Who Helped Stop The Idaho In-N-Out Active Shooter" has passed three million and keeps adding a steadier trickle. Across everything, the channel held exactly its usual pace.
Among military, weapons and geopolitics channels, Garand Thumb ranks third by subscribers, though several smaller channels pull more daily views. Sellsword Arts is the standout, with Yarnhub well ahead of the rest. hickok45, the largest channel in the group, runs a little behind Garand Thumb, and Iraqveteran8888 is the quietest.
