Hidden American regional geography: caves, mountains, rivers, odd borders

Audience

Americans curious about the geography, geology and oddities of their own and neighbouring states, including lifelong locals and armchair travellers (inferred from titles and descriptions that address lifelong residents of each state).

Avatar

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic older man with swept-back grey hair and wire-rimmed glasses, in a red cable-knit sweater over a plaid collared shirt, shown half-length beside a satellite map or, in the avatar, in a study with a globe and bookshelf.

Format

One American region per video: a hook of 4–5 teasers, the host's retired-teacher intro, then a numbered countdown of 25–30 geographic facts, a recap that ties them together and a comment question.

Typical length

Mostly 19–29 min before Sep 30; 38–109 min from Sep 30 on

Thumbnails

The same older man in a red cable-knit sweater and glasses, half-length at one side, pointing at a satellite map of one state with the region in a red glow; a white caption box with 2–3 words (DON'T GO HERE!, IT'S TERRIFYING, LOOK CLOSER!) and a red arrow.

Why it works

• 18 of 22 titles use one formula ('[Region] Is Hiding Something Most Americans...') and so do all 10 most viewed; the 4 others drew 644 to 30,533 views
• One thumbnail template in 10 of 10 images: the same presenter beside a red-marked state map, a white 2–3 word caption (DON'T GO HERE! on 5)
• Teacher-authority hook: both transcripts and 11 of 22 description excerpts present him as a retired geography teacher with decades of teaching
• A repeatable countdown: both transcripts open with teasers, then count down 30 facts; 7 descriptions promise 25 facts
• Steady output: 22 uploads in six weeks (about 4 a week, median gap 1.2 days), and 9 of them passed 100,000 views
