The Bald and Bankrupt channel is one of the most unique travel channels on YouTube. Instead of jet setting around the world to bucket list, warm countries, he explores former Soviet states. He\u2019s traveled all over Eastern Europe, as well as Asia too, and even managed to bring a kitten back home from Cuba. The YouTube channel has gotten so popular that it ranks Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg amongst its fan. However, the tours of historical sites, jaw-dropping architecture, and different cultures are coming to an end soon. In an upload to his second channel on April 4, Ben answered viewer questions on a range of different topics, revealing that many had asked him about his future plans on YouTube. However, he isn\u2019t sticking around for much longer. \u201cAnother question that was asked a lot was how much will I be on YouTube and what will I do afterwards? And the answer to that is hard to say, obviously. But basically, my plan is to finish off the post-Soviet countries and then go and do something else,\u201d he said. \u201cBald and Bankrupt will be over and this chapter of my life will be over and I\u2019ll go and do something else creative. Probably, I\u2019ll become a photographer or I\u2019ll become a writer or something else, I don\u2019t know. But probably, I\u2019ve got another nine months, a year left, and then adios amigos.\u201d Timestamp of 6:30 It\u2019s not like Ben would be leaving behind a small following either. He\u2019s picked up over three million subscribers across both of his channels, and his second channel smashed 200k subs within its first two weeks. He\u2019s even written a book about his travels in the past too, under a different name, so a follow up about his success could be another option for the future. But, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel YouTuber Bald and Bankrupt reveals why he\u2019s quitting in the near future YouTube: Daily BaldPopular travel YouTuber Ben Rich, who goes by the name Bald and Bankrupt, has revealed that he\u2019ll be bringing his channel to an end in around a year\u2019s time and moving on to do something else.
