Armenia, 'hated by its neighbors,' carries Drew Binsky's $10 channel on a week off
The 41-day-old border-crossing video has passed 357,000 views while nothing new went up on the budget-challenge side channel.
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.
Entering Armenia | A Country Hated By Its Neighbors
Drew Binsky has been to every one of the world's 197 countries, and on his second channel, the one built around a single ten-dollar bill, he can afford to take a week off. Nothing new went up, and the channel ran at roughly half its usual daily pace.
What kept it ticking was Armenia. "Entering Armenia | A Country Hated By Its Neighbors" is 41 days old and has passed 357,000 views, still bringing in more each day than the rest of the recent catalog combined. The title leans on geography: Armenia's borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan have long been closed. The description is gentler, a happy return to a country he says he loved so much.
Behind it, two classic $10 episodes are drawing a slow, matching trickle: Lithuania, from about eight months ago, and Angola, where the tags dwell on Luanda's reputation as an expensive African city. That is a fun premise for a budget challenge. How far does ten dollars stretch in a capital known for high prices?
Among travel channels of similar size, Michael Drake is having by far the biggest week, and Living The Van Life and Court and Nate are both running well above their norm. Drew's channel, mid-pack at fourth by subscribers, is simply resting on Yerevan.
