If I told you a faceless YouTube channel gained over 200K subscribers with just 10 videos, would you believe me?
Well, it’s true — and it’s not a one-time phenomenon. Another similar channel reached almost 350K subscribers with less than 50 videos. These aren’t isolated cases either — multiple channels in this niche are exploding, and their growth is proof of just how trending and viral this content category is in the USA and other premium countries.
So, what is this niche?
Introducing the “Boring History” Niche
Yes, you read that right — the niche is called Boring History. Sounds contradictory, doesn’t it?
But here’s the catch: the videos in this niche aren’t like your usual history documentaries. Instead, they’re slow-paced, calming storytelling videos that target people who enjoy listening to relaxing historical tales while falling asleep.
Some popular channels in this space include:
The naming makes the content very clear — it’s made for bedtime listening.
Why Is This Niche Trending in the USA?
Let me show you some proof.
These channels are mostly USA-based or from other premium countries like Canada and Australia. Their recent videos — some only a few days old — are racking up thousands and even hundreds of thousands of views.
You might think this content wouldn’t work in regions like India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh. And you’re right — this niche doesn’t have a huge audience in those countries. But in premium countries, people absolutely love it.
Are These Channels Monetized?
Absolutely.
I personally checked every one of these channels and none of them are demonetized. That’s right — all of them are part of the YouTube Partner Program. So, if you’re wondering whether this niche can make money, the answer is yes.
And how much are they earning?
According to SocialBlade, many of these channels are pulling in RPMs of $4 to $5 — even if they’re brand new. With tens of thousands of views per day, the monthly revenue is impressive.
How Easy Is It to Create These Videos?
Surprisingly easy.
You don’t need fancy editing or expensive animations. These videos are mostly composed of:
-
A soothing voice-over
-
A slow zoom-in animation on static AI-generated images
-
Background music and ambient effects
Since they’re slow-paced bedtime videos, one image per scene is enough, and you can stretch it out for 2 to 5 minutes.
