Otto von Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, opens People Profiles' October
Two new biographies went up, a portrait of Fred and Frederick Trump and a full-length film on the man who unified Germany in 1871.
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.
Otto von Bismarck - The Iron Chancellor Who Made Germany Documentary
Bismarck arrived on September 30, and he arrived briskly. "Otto von Bismarck - The Iron Chancellor Who Made Germany Documentary" drew close to 27,000 views in its first day and is the channel's busiest video by a wide margin. That fits the subject. Bismarck was the Prussian minister-president who, through three short wars, brought the German states together under one emperor in 1871, then ran the new empire as its chancellor until 1890.
The week's other upload went to a family. "Fred & Frederick Trump - The Original Empire Documentary" covers the grandfather who left Germany for America and the son who built a property business in Queens. Its description presents it as a compilation of earlier People Profiles material, given a new introduction, middle and ending. It had a solid first day and has since gone quiet.
Behind Bismarck, a 16-day-old film on Boris Yeltsin is still pulling its weight, nearing 200,000 views. A three-week-old film on Bin Laden and Zawahiri follows at a gentler pace. Overall the channel's daily views are running a little under their usual level, and Edwin Elliott's team, which the about text says writes and narrates every script by hand, stays among the larger names in its group.
Among the history and explainer channels near its size, WatchData and Horses are drawing the biggest daily crowds, Answer in Progress is running ahead of its usual pace, and Invicta, like People Profiles, is a touch quieter than normal. Between them, a Prussian statesman and a Russian president carry this channel.
