Which taps are safe to drink from? WatchData ranks the world's water
The channel's one upload of the week, a country-by-country tour from bottled-water-only places to the cleanest taps, has passed 380,000 views.
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.
Comparison: How Safe Is Tap Water Worldwide?
Six days old and already the channel's busiest video by a wide margin, "Comparison: How Safe Is Tap Water Worldwide?" was WatchData's only new upload of the week. The premise is one everyone who has traveled has wondered about: where can you fill a glass straight from the tap, and where should you reach for a bottle? The video ranks countries from one end of that scale to the other and saves the cleanest tap on the planet for last. The description is careful to add that its figures come from sources and community discussions and may not all be up to date.
It is drawing views many times faster than anything else in the catalog. Behind it, two older videos keep ticking along. One is a timeline of Elon Musk's net worth from birth onward. The other is "Comparison: Every Scientific Scale," which promises the IQ scale alongside the Bristol stool chart, a psychopathy checklist and the banana equivalent dose, a playful way of measuring radiation in bananas.
Overall the channel had an ordinary week, with daily views right at their usual level of close to 300,000. That keeps it among the busier explainer channels of its size, where JackSucksAtGeography is running well above its own normal pace and Answer in Progress is up too, while The People Profiles and Invicta are a little quieter than usual.
