'New Philosophy Tube on the way!' keeps Abigail Thorn's waiting room warm

No new essay went up, so a 24-day-old announcement, a Shakespeare sketch and an August diary carry a channel of 1.67 million subscribers.

New Philosophy Tube on the way!New Philosophy Tube on the way!

Philosophy Tube posted nothing this week, and the video doing the most work is a promise that something is coming. "New Philosophy Tube on the way!", put up 24 days ago, has passed 60,000 views and is still the channel's most-watched video day to day.

That suits a channel where the waits are part of the rhythm. Abigail Thorn's essays are long, costumed, carefully staged productions, closer to filmed theater than to a lecture, and they take time to make. Thorn is also a playwright and stage actor; her play The Prince ran at Southwark Playhouse in London in 2022. That gives the second video on the list a certain logic: "POV You Wake Up in Shakespeare", nearly two months old and past 170,000 views, keeps finding viewers. Behind it is the August Creator Diary, a smaller, more personal check-in.

Daily views sit right around their usual level, a touch above it if anything, so the audience is holding steady while it waits. Among the explainer and education channels of similar size, this is one of the gentler weeks. WatchData and Horses each draw a few hundred thousand views a day, and Answer in Progress is running ahead of its usual pace. Learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com keeps a pace much closer to Philosophy Tube's.

The announcement has been made. For now, viewers are spending time with the trailer, a Shakespeare sketch and a diary.
